A day in the life of a 4-5 month sleever



Recommended Posts

Hi All!!!!

Just checkin in, thought it would be fun to see what a Day in the life of a 4 month sleever looks like!!!

Breakfast for me is 6 ounces of yogurt. I eat the Fage yogurt with the fruit on the side. It is a 190 calories and 19 grams of carbs. That might be too many carbs for some people.

I then fill up 3 -20 ounce bottles of Water and put 1/4 blueberries/strawberries/pineapple in the water.

lunch is 3 ounces of chicken breast, 1 oz veggie with cheese

snack is yogurt or cheese

Another 20 ounce water

dinner is same as lunch

After dinner ill have 2 more 20 ounces of fruit infused water

I just had a hysterectomy so I'm not doing any "planned" activity. Although I do go up and down our stairs throughout the day. Also, whenever I go to the store I try to park out in the parking lot far away.

I dont wait 30 minutes between food and drink, I need to work on that. I feel like I could be doing more so I welcome any suggestions.

Water is 80-100 oz

Calories 950-1000

Carbos under 45

Vitamins are: 1 multi, 2 calcium chews, 1 fish oil.

Liver enzymes were above normal. I stopped tylenol now their normal. I am getting major headaces which I hope are just allergies...everything else has been great.

Any feedback? Id love to hear what your doing?

Hi there,

I am 4 months out also. For me the hardest thing is getting all the Water in. It is a real struggle. For breakfast I usually have an egg or a Protein shake if I am in a hurry. Mid morning I have the Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt. lunch is usually cheese, afternoon snack is a Protein Bar or nuts, and dinner is a Protein and vegetable.

I am doing really well and although the weight loss has slowed, it is still trending down. All the post-op labs were fine so no worries there.

What has helped me the most I think is developing an exercise routine. I go to the gym twice a week and can feel the difference it makes.

Water ranges from 30-70 oz

Protein about 60-80 Gm

I don't count carbs or fat though I am guessing calories are about 900

Vitamins- 1 children's chewable and 1 Calcium chew

      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!!
