I am from long island. I was sleeved on 7/30. I have lost at total of 48lbs. Including the 2 weeks pre op liquid diet.

I am in a constant mental battle daily. I stay between 700-1000 calories a day with as little carbs as possible. I get in my protien or close to it and the same with fluids. I am on my 2 nd stall and fustrated.

I am looking for people to chat with, vent with and become a sleeve buddies lol.

Starting next week you should be on your liquid diet. That right there will help you to drop 10-20 lbs.

I know at first this whole surgery thing is scarey and you feel like you are going to be "losing" so much food freedom, but trust me once you get past the surgery and healing process it isnt so bad. Sure you cant have crappy foods anymore but its for the better. Ive noticed that i am not so sluggish anymore. All the crap food kind of drains you and weighs you down. I feel healthier with eating better. Plus watching that scale go down instead of up is such an accomplishment, you wont want to mess that up. It kind of becomes addictive to see how much you can lose each time.

It is the best thing you could do for yourself and your loved ones.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
