I was sleeved 4/12..... To date I have hardly NO APPETITE! I am thirsty alot and the smell of Protein grosses me out. Its rough lol. I am getting in my Water but am soooo over this Protein Shake stuff! Are any other early April Sleevers going thru this?

can someone post the link for myfitnesspal thread?

I used the app on my phone.

Fannyf' date=' your 64 oz of liquids can include Protein drinks, broth, etc., it doesn't need to be "in addition to". Sometimes the post op instructions can be unclear about that.

I appreciate that. I was struggling too!

Havent been scheduled for my surgery yet' date=' im a 44D ...i love my boobs!!..i get really depressed thinking about them shrinking....thats really scary to me ![/quote']

Yes this scared me too. But I wanted the weight loss. So ill just get some new ones

Well I had my surgery and am in my room I have a surprise I did not get the sleeve! My hernia was to big for it so she ended up doing the bypass! We did discuss this previously and that is what we decided on. So I knew there was a slight chance. Feeling pretty good very sore and tired. And oh my the dryouth is killing me. Hope all my date buddies did well also.

Congrats ! To you, keep walking

My last Nutrition appt woohoo!!!

Just got back from my last nutrition appt' date=' even though I gained 8 lbs since the last appt she didnt extend it yay! So NUT said she would submit info to surgeon today. 10 mins later I got a call from the surgeon's nurse saying she was going over my paperwork and would submit today! She said anthem blue cross takes between 1 to 2 weeks for approval so I'm hopeful.[/quote']

WooooHoooo!.

Just got my IV......it's just a matter of time now.

Prayers for a great procedure n recovery. The losers bench is waiting for you!

Down 16lbs in 10 days! Staples are OUT!

I'm 5'1" and some change and at goal. I might have something to add here if anyone has questions.

I had surgery at 242 pounds and a very snug 18/20 and am now maintaining between 133-137 pretty easily. Most of my clothes are size 6 or small. I had hoped for a smaller goal weight' date=' actually, but it's just not going to happen. I'll need plastics eventually and that will easily take that last ten pounds off for me. It's not that I really feel I need to lose more weight, either, it's just that the BMI chart really sucks and my doctor still kinda nags about me being so close to the overweight line.

Anyway, hello to everyone! It seems like the majority of the folks here were just recently sleeved or are awaiting surgery.

Wowzers! Go get em chica!

I know you are happy about that. I don't have staples' date=' but I did with my c-sections. You'll feel so much more normal. [/quote']

Yes Iam...these bad boys are a tad bit irritating. I appreciate them though. I also will weigh in for the first time since my surgery.

Staples come out today whoot whoot!

I tried to add you but that user name didn't work....maybe it's me

Whoops Thyck748

Thanks u guys I downloaded it! Im Thyck48 (hit the wrong button)

Is myfitnesspal on iPhone only app

I am 9 days post opp, and my NUT n Dr. Have me eating soft foods Protein rich like an egg, yogurt,soup, tuna. Does this seem odd

It's sad that I'm 4 days out and want to eat real food. I have not and will not but when I see my family eating' date=' I just want to enjoy it too. I've been trying to stay away from them right now.[/quote']

I had the same issues. I just started looking at pictures and saying I dont want this ANYMORE!

I am not a fan of low fat or fat free anything' date=' except maybe milk. My main reason is when the fat is taken out it is usually replaced with something unpronounceable ! I do believe in eating real foods....nothing synthetic, no preservatives, etc. My goal is not only to lose weight but to also be as healthy as possible. Since I am only four weeks post op, I have just recently started eating regular foods, and this is what I have been doing. Real food, of course Proteins first, then veggies, etc.[/quote']

Im not into the fat free stuff either. How much weight have you lost?

I was sleeved on the 16th. I had pain Monday and Tuesday. It felt like I had done 1' date='000 crunches. I walked a lot in the hospital and it helped tremendously. I had bad reflux on Tuesday night and was afraid this would be a nightly occurance. Thankfully it has not been back. I walked 1.5 miles Wednesday and Thursday and 3 miles today. I feel great. My scale says I'm down 10 lbs. I'm so excited. Today was the first day of pureed foods so for breakfast I had Muscle Milk Light with 2 tbsp of Peanut Butter, lunch was a small cottage cheese and refried Beans, I had another Muscle Milk Light in the afternoon and for dinner I had a half pureed Purdue Perfect Portion chicken breast and some pureed mashed potatoes and green beans. I got in my Water intake and my 80 grams of Protein today. I'm so thankful that I've had no complications.[/quote']

Dannng Im jealous! I am a week out and still working to get in 64 oz and protein

I still have pain too! When I sit up is when it is the worst! So for now I just prop myself up to where it doesn't hurt or walk around.

My biggest thing is I am exhausted - all the time!!!

Yes I am still sore a lot. And my incisions itch like hell

I got my staples out Tuesday...it was a huge relief. They were causing a little bit of a reaction too. My skin was red and puffy' date=' but no infection or anything, you could tell it was some sort of contact dermatitis.[/quote']

Mannnn they are not sleever friendly lol

Hey THYCK747 ... I'm able to drink more liquids. It improves every day. Forcing myself to drink more. I decided not to weigh again until my appt with my nutritionist next wednesday. Hopefully I will see a loss.

I go Monday to get these dang staples out. They itch lol. Im soooo excited abt this journey. No backsteps wanted lol

I am 8 days postop and I still have pain with my left incision. The doctor told me that the incision on my left side is the one used to exit my removed stomach. So' date=' I think it will take longer to heal than the others.

I'm going back to work tomorrow. Still get fatigued quickly, so, my sister is driving me to work. Thank God I have a desk job and don't need to move around too much. I have been taking small walks each day but I surprised how quickly I get tired. Before the surgery, I was walking 3-4 miles a day. I know I will slowly work myself back to that routine.[/quote']

Hey Ursiboo72.... Congrats! Yes its only that one that brings me to the ooohhhhs lol. I have not weighed myself yet. Is, it still hard to get your liquids in

I am a week out as well and I have some off and on pain in the middle low incision. Ironically it's the only one that is bruised. No other pain though... I believe it's typical to have pain somewhere after your body goes through that.

Thank u! I was ready to call the Dr. Houston we have a problem. I also went back to work 5 days later (job is the worst lol)

I am sooo thankful for this blog. I have been in pain on my left incision, the biggest one. Whehhh the pain.
