    Surgery date 10/11/12. 255. Current weight 175. 5'6" female. Some what sedentary due to lupus. Still have 25 pounds to get to goal. Slowed down drastically on 1000 calories a day. Don't know if this is too much or not enough. Getting 80 protein/ 40-60 carbs/20-40 fat. If anyone has ideas, I'm all ears!! Thanks!!

    It will get better the further out you get. Sw255 cw177 sleeved 10/11/12. Food more enjoyable but habits like chewing a lot you will keep up. Lots of protein and water!!

    Welcome! You will do great! I was sleeved 10/11/12 sw 255 cw 178. I'm 54 and female. The first couple months hardest but it becomes much easier. The loss slowed down for me after 5 months. Still losing, just slow. This is a great place for info and support. Hang in there! SCS

    I set my goal for New Years 2013 to be below 200 pounds. With stalls and holidays I have struggled to get there. I am now at 199.6 a few days before New Years. My sw was 255 on 10/11/12 and have lost over 55 pounds. What a blessing this has been.
  11. SCS
    My goal for new years is under 200. Sw 255 sleeved 10/12/12. Cw 204. Going for under 200 1/1/13. Tough with all the food around parties. Others out there struggling with food during holidays?

    I was sleeved 10/11/12 so I'm 4 weeks out. Still doing a protein drink a day. String cheese, tuna, eggs and bison patty was real good. Taking it slow. Lost 40 pounds since 9/11/12 but only maybe 10 since surgery. I think they call it a stall. Best wishes to all!!
  16. SCS
    Anyone on a long stall? Frustrating! Preop 255......surgery 235......3 weeks out 219.......stuck there for a week! Any suggestions?
  17. SCS
    I understand days not wanting to eat. Three weeks out on soft foods. Hard to even get down an egg. Watching others.....they eat so fast, wash down their food, etc. We are on a different path. Not sure how we will fit in with meals with others?? Sleeve feels best right now with pudding and fluids but I know we have to eat also. Best wishes to all!!!
  18. SCS
    I'm with you on clothes. I've also lost 40 and one size. I must have been holding my breath for a couple of years!

    I have lupus and have been off meds for 6 weeks. Surgery been 2 weeks and gone pretty good. Not sure where we will end with meds but have not been in joint pain very bad at all. Start puree soft tomorrow and am excited! Good luck to all!

    The drain is to help your body remove excess fluid from the surgery. I am guessing it keeps it from going thru your kidneys. Not sure. I'm glad it is out though along with staples. Feel much better. Twelve days post surgery and down 35 pounds from original weight including 13 post surgery. On my way...........best wishes to all!!
  22. SCS
    11 days after surgery. Doing pretty good. Drain hurting so surgeon removing this afternoon. Follow up appointment Wed. Should be able to move to puree/soft foods. Yay !!!
  23. SCS
    I was sleeved on 10/11....one week home. Still very sore where drain is and not getting as much exercise as I would have thought. Anyone else here? I get drain out Wednesday hope will have better movement then.

    Belly band like a girdle you wear for a couple of weeks. It's interesting how differently surgeons do things!
  25. SCS
    I was sleeved 10/11.....home.....trouble getting everything down. Gassy stuff subsided. Crushed pills worst part of everything. Belly band keeps moving on me. Real sore like hit in belly with baseball bat. Can't wait to have soft foods. Tired of protein shakes. Another week or so of full liquids. Gets better each day.
