Harpo

Sleeved 2/26.
Down 65lbs as of today. Started at 331. Now 265.8.
This has not been difficult. I can chug Water (can drink a gallon a day if I want), & can eat anything. The good thing....I'm no longer hungry all the time. I usually skip breakfast, eat a larger lunch, a normal dinner, & then a bedtime snack. I'm usually eating around 1,400 calories a day. I could easily eat more, but don't have the desire. 67 more lbs. to go!

I was sleeved 2/26. I was very worried about going through with it, and I thought about canceling the surgery several times. I was afraid of never being able to eat anything again, I was afraid of the actual surgery, of post surgery problems, I was, well, just afraid.
I am now almost 6 weeks out. I started the liquid diet on February 15, 11 days before my surgery. On February 15, I was 331 pounds. Today I am 278 pounds, and totally see myself getting down to my goal weight of 199 pounds.
I feel very lucky, in comparison with some of the stories I've read on this page. I see many people talking about how they have problems drinking liquids, and eating a lot of foods.
I can now eat basically anything. I just went over the 50 pound more yesterday, and I celebrated with a burger at Fuddruckers last night. I was able to eat the small burger there with everything except for the top half of the bun I even ate a few sweet potato fries.
I can gulp liquids, and it's actually too easy for me to get my 1300 – 1500 calories in each day----things that were told to me to be very difficult.
I am already getting many compliments on my weight loss. I already feel good about myself. It's been fun to buy new clothing (I am not getting too crazy though, as the weight is going to continue to come off very rapidly.)
I'm REALLY glad I did it!

I'm in Vegas on vacation. Ran 2.5 miles today. First time for that in over 2 years!
Down about 45lbs in about 5 weeks.
Doc even gave me permission to have some wine/Bloody Mary's while I'm here.
Let the games begin!

I hear lots of people complaining on how little liquids they can handle. I almost feel guilty...sleeved a week ago today, & I can gulp Protein shakes, Water, broth, whatever. I had 70+Oz. of liquids today, & could've easily handled a lot more.
Feeling pretty good. I think I'm going to be able to handle food pretty well.

I got sleeved last Tuesday...did a a 10 day liquid diet prior to surgery.
I'm already down 29lbs.!
I hate the way I feel
I hate not being able to eat real food
But, I love the scale.
Someone saw me today that hasn't seen me in a week. He said "So you've lost what, 25-30lbs.?"
Can't wait for the reactions when I'm down 100.

I got sleeved on Tuesday. I've been doing really well, eating broth & Jello. Haven't been hungry at all. I was getting low on food & went to the grocery store today. MISTAKE!
I left there hungry after smelling all the good food.
Home again, & not hungry now, but I'll be having the wife do the shopping from now on.

I felt the same way you did, so wondering if I did the right thing. First two weeks were the hardest as you are limited to so little choices of food. I am 2 months post op, and everything is going great. As of March 6, I can eat any foods, or course in moderation, or what my sleeve can handle, a couple ounces at a time.. When I do eat I don't feel deprived, I put in my dish what I think I can handle and that's it. I am done.. It is just a great feeling to be able to feel satisfied and not deprived. You will get there, hang in there follow your instructions from your Dr and your NUT and you will do great.

i cried a week of mornings.....then i went to a support group and meet sleeved folks...1-2-3 years out...so happy and healthy,that was the turning point me.
think we have all this way and nothing can prepare us for this no matter how hard we researchresearch...see a shrink....nothing!

I totally agree with what everyone else said. Im 16 days out and its amazing how in just a week, food has a new place in my life. Def miss stuffing my face, but more excited about my future!

Jason Jason Jason ! I am 6 weeks out and still get the nagging thing in my head,especially when I watch others eat my old favs! All of your experience is where we all were. I do not emotionally eat anymore. I made it through the last two weeks at work with 4 parties for birthdays etc. I craved nothing if my past. I did sneak a bite or two of cookie dough this evening baking for a friend (skinny one) for her post back surgery snack..it tasted good for a minute. Truly only a minute. food does not mean the same anymore.
You will be fine! You will grieve for your food in a week or so..them realize you don't like most of it anymore. . RELAX.

Oh yeah. I think so many of us have done that. And, I'm sure there will be times in the future when I'm further out that I'll miss drowning myself in a huge plate of Pasta. But, those choices were killing me and making me miserable. Something had to change and it was me!
