I got sleeved July 23rd. I am in my 2nd week Post Op. Happy Birthday to us all! My birthday was July 1st, so this is definitely a great way to start our year off right with new beginnings. I was already getting in the mindset of healthy eating, so when someone bought me a cake over, I cut me a piece, wrapped it back up, gave it back with a huge smile saying Thank You!! They looked at me like I had lost it! Who gives a birthday cake back?? LMAO!!

I was sleeved on July 18th and yesterday I tried a bite of steak for the first time. I’m so burned out on liquids I need to move on to foods. I did start lifting weights and I think I hit my first plateau after losing 28 pounds.

I had my surgery 7/24 and feel the same way. Meeting with my NUT tomorrow and hoping she will allow me to eat something of substance- maybe puréed or soft foods. Fingers crossed! A steak sounds delicious :-)

Happy Birthday is right! Today is exactly a week for me (7/24), down 15lbs and feeling great- except hungry!!! But I’m going to hang tough! Good for you with the cake! See, we can enjoy cake, just not the “entire” cake :-) This is our chance to learn and perfect healthy eating. Best of luck to everyone!!

I believe I hit my first plateau too. I’m down 28 pounds since starting this journey. I know you’re not supposed to weigh yourself everyday but I have since the surgery and the last few days I’ve held steady around the same weight. I’m sure it’ll change next week when I go back to work.

Did you measure yourself? I’m down 23 pounds... I measured myself and feel like I have lost inches...

I was told no working out until 6 weeks out. No more than 10lbs (lifting) and nothing more strenuous than walking. Be careful with your lifting weights.

I’m just doing five pounds arm weights nothing too much and I’m sitting when I’m doing it. I hope he releases me to go back to work I’m going nuts here at home. Who would’ve thought I kinda miss my job?????😳

No I haven’t measured myself yet but they did measure me at the doctor’s office. I’m sure I’ve lost inches because my bra’s and clothes are all really loose now.

I just had my surgery on 7/24.

Had surgery July 10th. Am eating puréed foods. Getting sick of tuna and canned chicken. Eat yogurt cottage cheese and eggs. Really bored.

How are you getting on at this stage? I get that full feeling after 3-4 bites of anything and if I eat more it's quite uncomfortable. Hoping it goes away soon.

Yes. Me too. 3 to 4 bites and I’m done. If I push it it’s like a lead weight in my stomach. I want real meat so badly. Like a meatball or prime rib.
