October Sleevers, how are you doing?

[PB42 34]

Hallelujah......down 2 lbs this morning. First real loss in 3 weeks. I am amazed how deeply this affects my happiness level. :0 I do think I have figured out how to make my Water goal. Four 16 ounce bottles of Water. Making myself finish one by 11, next one by 2, next one by 4 and the last one has to be empty by bedtime. Then I refill them for the next day. Yesterday was was the first time since the first month (when I was religiously sipping 2 ounces every 15 min.) that I have made water goal. I am guessing there is a correlation. I really hope this is the end of this stall. Yay!!!

In reply to Jellybean12, I too had a hernia repaired. My reflux is 100% gone, too. But I definitely have some weird sensations from my new digestive system. There is loud growling and an empty like sensation at random times. Sometimes food goes down easy and sometimes it sits very heavy. I think it just takes some getting used to. I still haven't felt hungry......and my tastes have changed dramatically. Can't stand coffee anymore and chocolate holds no allure for me like it used to. Very good news. Happy Day to all.

I love to hear successful stories like yours. The only issue I'm having...(sleeved 10.27) is that is so hard to swallow meat. It hurts when it goes down. After goes down its fine.. I'm a little worried. I miss good food. This is more like a mentally challenge now. But it does hurt alot.... any one with the same issue?

Yes, I have the same issues with meat. Unfortunately it has gotten worse now than it was a month ago. I sort of avoid meat, I wish it was easier. I used to love red meat, now I am struggling with it. I struggle with chicken and fish if overcooked also. Cottage cheese seems to be my saving grace these days.

Thought I was the only one struggling with chicken. I chew and chew until its mush but when I swallow it seems to get stuck.

Sleeved 10/26. Still having tightness in throat when drinking and eating. Went back to puréed and liquids for a while. Now back to soft foods. Still doing Protein shakes as i don't eat enough to meet my Protein goals without them. I have major food aversions Just the smell of some foods my boyfriend eats (cheese, fried foods, deli meats, mustard, pizza) make me nauseas and I have to leave the room.

The thing that is hardest for me is taking all the Vitamins and medicine. Once I get done with those I'm not hungry at all.

Other than that I feel pretty good, still learning my limits. I over did it working out a few weeks ago and I injured my large incision and still have some pain. Since then I have been taking it easy with light cardio ( walking and bike).

I've lost 27 pounds since surgery. I lose in waves, I'll lose five pounds then nothing for a week and a half then 8 pounds then a week later two pounds. Hoping it will steady out when my diet gets more consistent. Either way just glad the weight is going down!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

I was sleeved on 10/19 today I'm officially two months post op. I lost 49 lbs total in just about half way to my goal . I'm not meeting my Protein or liquid goals. It's so hard to try to get my fluids in not sure what to do about that. I'm on regular foods but I also seem to stick to soft foods it's just so much easier for me. I do get acid reflux sometimes not all the time. Any meals u guys would like to share ? I struggle with what to eat sometimes or really just don't have an appetite. Overall I am happy with my sleeve I feel so much better.
