Sleeved 7/23, lost 17 on 2 week preop diet and 32 post op for total of 49. Loss has slowed last 2 weeks. Started c25k this weekend, seems to be helping.

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.

23 days out, 19 lbs since surgery... 36 total

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Hope everyone who had surgery today is doing well. July 23rd sleevers, we are up tomorrow!!!!! I can hardly believe it. I'm nervous, excited, and my stomach is upset. I will be praying for all of my sleeve sisters that we have uneventful surgeries and quick, pain free recoveries. Xoxo

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!
