March sleevers hows everyone doing??

[nonnilynn 43]

Right there with you on the Water and the Protein thoughts. I don't count anything. Been there, done it on other "diets" and at my age (69) I just don't want to take that on. I'd rather just follow good nutrition rules and do my best to stay healthy. I am feeling fine, not one problem to report at 8 weeks out. Steady 2 pound per week loss now and just living my life, much happier!!

I agree! I'm just trying to focus on getting in enough nutrition throughout the day .

I had surgery on Mar. 16 and have lost 22 lbs since then (45 lbs total)

I'm thrilled with my loss. I just had a week long "plateau" but the scale is moving again

I am getting 800-1000 calories a day and consistently hit 60-70g Protein. Fluids are good too. So far I don't have any aversions (well, Protein Shakes gag)...

We are almost exactly the same! I was sleeved 3/15. I have lost 23 since surgery and 38 total. I have been at a standstill for a couple of weeks now but saw my surgeon this past Monday and he said it's normal and he was happy with how it was going. I just ate 1000 calories today and I was so happy to see your post that you are doing the same. I am able to eat all my protein and am no longer doing protein shakes. Wish you the best of luck!!

I have increased my intake as well

Sure! I will give you yesterday's stats:
Meal 1 (9am) Fiber One Bar and 3 slices of turkey bacon
Meal 2 (11:30am) half of a turkey burger with mustard and half slice of cheese
Meal 3 (3pm) other half of turkey burger with mustard and half slice of cheese
Meal 4 (6:00pm) 3 oz shredded chicken and black Beans with taco seasoning and 1/2 tablespoon shredded cheese
Meal 5 (8:30pm) 3 oz shredded chicken and black beans with taco seasoning and 1/2 tablespoon shredded cheese


801 Calories
96 grams of protein
24 grams of carbs
6 grams of fiber
1O grams of sugar
35 grams of fat

I don't normally eat that much protein in a day but I am really hungry because I am on my period. (Sorry if TMI!) Hope this helps!

I was sleeved March 22nd. I'm down twenty pounds since then. Eating has been going great (haven't regurgitated at all), drinking wise I'm still a little behind on my goals because I'm not sipping as often as I need to. Back to swimming three times a week and that's going great. I'm very happy with my progress. Nobody has yet noticed I've lost weight because it's going quite slowly, but I don't mind, because I know I'm wayyyyy smaller than I started!

[The thinner me 17]

Im wondering sthg...people who have stalls, do u still feel like u lost weight even tho the scale's not moving or u actually dont feel like uve lost any weight and once the scale starts moving again u start seing it?

Turkey burger as is the whole kit with the bun and everything?

And is ur turkey burger home made?

[Berry78 4,261]

Even when the scale stops I keep feeling better.

I'm down 22lbs since surgery. 5.5 weeks out.

I haven't started working out yet. Even walking is hit and miss. I notice my body DEMANDS I get up and move more and more.

Only weird thing is the feeling of having a lump in my throat that I'm constantly trying to swallow. Kinda like thick mucous or something. Is that from acid?

No. Just the patty. I buy butterball frozen patties and cook in a skillet with olive oil spray.

How long does it take you to eat three slices of turkey bacon? I can eat one slice of bacon and two bites of egg in one sitting. The uncomfortable feeling I get when I'm full turns me off from eating.

Absolutely! My biggest loss was first 14 days, I was struggling to get in liquids & then I stopped seeing scale move. I could feel that I was smaller, like I was shedding inches. THe three week stall broke and I'm 3 pds away from onederland. 😂 I'm six weeks out now
