SleeveShelly

So I had my sleeve since a week ago this past Wednesday so I am in my second week. The first week I lost 17 lbs and now this week nothing do far. WTH?????

I am on puréed but still I have had some very tasty stuff. I have had chili, chicken fajitas and I put some corned beef lunch meat in a food processor with a little mayo and relish. Yummy.

I was sleeved on 9/12 started at 325, now 308. Total down 17lbs.

My first thing I ate was refried beans with melted cheese. Lol yum

I had my sleeve on sept 12 and yesterday on the 20th I graduated to puréed foods!!! I was so excited! I have had no problems at all and sometimes I forget I even had surgery if it wast for the seven sets of staples on my stomach to remind me. Lol

I had my sleeve on 9/12 and I just got put on puréed foods today because I am doing so well. I have not gotten sick, I have felt great since I left the hospital!!! I was thinking that too about hoping I still do well being able to tolerate stuff so well. Heck, right now I am earring puréed chili made with ground chicken and melted shredded cheese on top!!!!

What are they????

An we have this?

It settled fine and tasted great!!! I too am on a full liquid diet but when I left the hospital my dr told me I could try puréed when I was ready. It made me very satisfied and full!! I have also tried a scrambled egg with a 1/2 piece of Kraft singles melted in it like two days ago and did well with that but was only able to eat 1tbsp cuz I felt so full. Today for breakfast I smashed up a little hunk of a real banana and slowly ate that as well.

Yes, I found it at our local Hyvee store that has a health market section!! I am only 7 days out and I have been drinking it!! Yum

I bought the PB2 powdered peanut butter and it is amazing!!!! I put 2 tbsp in my chocolate protein shake with one cup of milk and it tastes like a chocolate peanut butter candy bar!!!!

Well today is my 7 day post op. I have felt great since day 3!! I am so ready to move on to puréed foods but don't see my doctor until the 25th. So this evening for supper I had 2 tbsp of refried beans with a tiny bit of shredded cheese melted on top. I hope that wasn't a huge no no, but it sounded so good!!!!

I am only one week post op and all I can think about is my loose skin I will probably get. I hope I don't get a lot of it because I really don't want another surgery. Has anyone not had it removed? Does it cause you problems?

That is super!!! Congratulations!!!!!!! I started my journey with having surgery 1 week ago today. I am wearing 26/28 or even sometimes 30's :-(. And 4x tops. You don't know how excited to wake up this morning and read your post!!! So inspirational!! Again, congrats!

Are you drinking lots of water

I am just 6 days post op and I love cream of wheat. Is it considered a liquid or do I need to limit myself to a couple tbsp?

Holy cow. That weight loss is awesome!!! How much did you start out at on surgery date??

Also don't always go by the number on the scale. Just because you think you are stalling from losing pounds, you might be losing inches!! Good luck!!

So I tried a sip of isopure this morning and it was so nasty. How do you guys stand to drink it? Are you suppose to mix it with something?

Do your gurgles sometimes seems to make your belly feel hungry??

Today is also my 6th day out. I am feeling great!!!! I returned back to my college classes today which I only have on Tuesday's and Thursday's and felt good! After class I went to the store and then went and walked a mile. As of today I have lost 16 lbs!!! I'm so glad I had this done.

I was sleeved on 9/12 and had sex on 9/15. I hope it doesn't mess up my sleeve but my dr never said anything. I went thru surgery very easy with minimal pain. Thank heavens!! This is my 5th day since surgery and I have lost 15 lbs!!!!

I actually mix my one scoop of protein in my smoothie.

Oops. I meant fresh fruit!!

I Found some smoothie juice that is nothing but natural fruits (no added sugar) but the carbs seem a bit high. Are these carbs as bad as the carbs in breads or pasta for our sleeve???
