Hi All,

Update! Sleeved may 20th. SW at start of two wk pro op 228 Day of surgery 225 CW 195. Two huge things for me being under 200 and got the word that I can stop taking my insulin!!!! Major! Off all three diabetes meds in 7 weeks!!!! This was the whole reason for this surgery! On my way to healthy and loving it!

May 20th sleeved. Finally hit onederland this morning! So happy this was my first goal! On to the next small goal! They seem more attainable if I set them small! Feeling good even though its been tough learning new ways to cook and having to try new and healthy foods. This is what its all about! So my happy for today is hitting my first goal.

I haven't been under 200 since 1996! It feels great!

I was sleeved may 20th, and going for my 6wk f/u wednesday. I havent't lost like I thought I would but I'll take it. 25 lbs so far, hate the scale, had to stop getting on it everyday! I know i need to up my exercise and hope that would kick start the losing again! What is everyone eating?

What is everyone eating at this point? I'm supposed to be on soft solids for another week. Having a hard time trying to figure out what to eat. Need suggestions!

Also I can really only eat about 2oz at a meal.

What was your starting weight? I lost 20 lbs the first two weeks too' date=' but then gained 10, and lost it again. So, I am still at a 20lb weight loss. Starting week 4 today. I was sleeved the 21st of May. I took a side shot before surgery, and then this saturday, and you can see the difference, but when I do my measurements, it's only a few inches here and there. It's strange. I've been getting a lot of walking and gardening in. I can't be eating more then 500 calories a day, and I am in deep ketosis, have been since surgery. I still have some pain with twisting and bending. My stiches have not dissolved all the way, and sometimes the incision locations hurt bad. I have a really bad hematoma at the manipulation site. I can't get the Protein Shakes down at all. But I have tried a lot of foods and they all seem okay. I am suppose to be eating 6-8 oz of food now, but I can barely get 2-3oz depending on what it is. I made my family pot roast with roasted potatoes, carrots, celery and onion last night (yes, even though it was 103 degrees here) and I was able to get it all down after chewing it well. That was my first time with red meat since prior to surgery. All veggies and fruits are going and staying, and I am able to eat chicken breast as long as I cook it very tenderly.[/quote']

Thank you for your post. I'm on week 3 now. Can start soft solids tomorrow. Hoping to get more Protein in then. How can I find out if my body is in ketosis? Prob am, but hoping with more walking it will kick start. I've been told that week 3 sometimes is a stall. I started at 225, and have been at 205 for a week now. Can't wait to be in onederland! Its been almost 19 yrs since I was last there. Thanks for sharing good to know I'm not alone. Good luck!

So I was sleeved may 20. I lost 20lbs the first two weeks and haven't lost since. Stuck on the same number for the last week! What is going on? I was having a hard time with the puree stage, i know I wasn't eating enough, but I'm moving onto soft solids this week with hopes it gives me a kick in the butt! Feeling discouraged, know I shouldn't but worried I'm not losing. Any suggestions? Please.....

Carly

Thanks. Yeah this stages really stinks.

I too was sleeved on the 20th. Been hard with the pureed food. I would so much rather be on the liquids. Puree is just not good, feel like there is nothing to eat. Getting in my Protein. Had my first follow up appt with dr. yesterday Down 20 lbs so far. My NUT said i need to eat( pureed food stage) or I won't lose. What is everyone having as far as pureed?

Rubyrosa,

I am doing really well. Feel good and adjusting. I met Dr. Bessler in hospital he was great. No complications and its getting easier each day. Down 17lbs since 5/20! So i know its working. Best of luck to you, the drs there are all wonderful.

Hi all, had my surgery at Columbia presb may 20. I live in rockland but can be in the city in 20 min!

I too was sleeved on may 20th by Dr. Schrope! I sent you a pm.

I was sleeved 5/20/13 as well. The first 3 days were tough. Pain meds made me feel so sick, so i stopped taking them, and feel so much better. Definitely tough trying to get Protein and Water in for the day, but each day is getting easier. Hang in there!

Carly

I was sleeved monday 5/20/13 in NYC, doing good so far. Just trying to get my Water and Protein in! It is getting easier everyday! Tough mentally, but hanging in there.

Thanks!
