I'm 4 weeks out, I love my sleeve. I haven't had any diarrhea problems til today but I am pretty sure it was self induced. I was traveling and forgot to eat before I left. I stopped at Arbys and got mozzarella sticks- breaded and greasy, only ate one and through out the rest. Junk in, junk out. I set a reminder to tell me to eat, I'm never hungry. I wish I had made the decision earlier.

I have found that if I get in less than 500 cal. I don't loose, but when I
get just over 600 cal. I loose around a lb. a day. I track everything I put
in. It has been very consistent. I add unflavored Protein to get to 600
cal. I average about 4-5 oz of food 3 times a day and plus a snack to get
to 600.

I was sleeved on the 29th. And here at 15 days out my biggest struggle is with fatigue. I am soooooo tired. I thought this procedure was to help me have MORE energy. I have MUCH LESS!!!!!I am thinking Vitamin B12 is the one that is supposed to boost energy levels. If it lasts more than a couple days, i'd check with the doc, could be dehydration or anemia.

I jokingly(well kind of) tell my husband, it took me 20 years to train him. I don't have the patience or desire to do it again.

I have been eating deli meats, Greek yogurt apple sauce, some Soups, canned chicken & tuna (chewed very well) cottage cheese, have also done mashed potatoes, I too add Protein. I have the most trouble with deli meats. The most I can consume at any time is 4 oz. Having trouble getting in more that 400 caps in a day, but doing about 60 gr protein. I don't loose on days I get less than 50 oz of Water in.

How are the sleevers from the 23rd doing...I am so sore and still dealing with gas pains.I was sleeved on the 23rd, i'm feeling pretty good, though tired. I haven't had a lot of gas other than what I'm swallowing.
I have found that SF popsicles are easier to get down than Water today, I have to burp every time I take a sip of water.

Surgery went well today. Was wiped out through most afternoon, but woke about 5:00 and had tons of energy.
Probably did 30 laps around the hall tonight. Very little abdominal pain, but my back aches from a disc I ruptured 4 years ago. Walking is really helping.
I am down 17.3 lbs since starting pre op. Dr says everything looks great. Husband had been amazing. I feel very blessed to have had this done. Thanks to all of you. Dr Hoehn in Kansas is amazing. I love his staff and the facilities.

Anybody feel like they are nesting (like before you have a kid)?
Yesterday I woke up early, washed bedding, washed & folded 5 loads of laundry, vacuumed, laid new carpet, moved furniture, assembled a new bed, went shopping, cleaned 2 bathrooms...today I'm emptying out all kitchen cabinets, wiping out & reorganizing them. We remodeled are kitchen last winter, and for some odd reason, I decided now was a good time to move everything to where I want it. 2 days til surgery. It would be nice if I had this much energy after.

I am scheduled for July 23rd. Started pre op diet yesterday. Was told Protein Shakes for 13 days, 1 day clear, but could replace one of the shakes with chicken/lean meat. But nothing with carbs.

Met with surgeon, did labs, psych appt, dietician all yesterday. Started shakes to shrink liver today. I am scheduled for 2 weeks from today.
My husband and I are feeling very confident after meeting the surgeon and his staff.

Wow, you are so inspiring! I am a mom of 4 starting at approximately 280. I meet with the surgeon tomorrow and I'm scheduled for July 23rd. I can't wait to see where I'm at in 6 months. Thanks for sharing.

I'm scheduled for July 23rd. I meet with surgeon next week. I am so glad I found this forum. Everytime I get a little anxious about the future, I come hear and read. It relaxes me. Thanks for sharing your journeys!
