July12 got a reaction from stamour1 in July sleevers please check in..
Sleeved July 12.
Starting weight: 254
Surgery Day: 245
Current (8/27): 223
I was feeling like it was too slow. I was relieved to read that this seems pretty normal.
We just have to remember it's not a sprint. It is a marathon and we can do this!

July12 reacted to dustin551 in 26 lbs lost in 2 weeks
I was sleeved one week ago today. I had a one week liquid diet prior to surgery where I lost 11 pounds. But I've also lost another 15 pounds in the last 7 days since surgery.
If someone had told me a while back that I'd lose 26 lbs in 2 weeks, I wouldn't have believed it.
Not being hungry is a bit weird. I'm still on liquids, and I've been really good about getting my Protein shakes in, until today. I had a small amount of Malt-o-meal for Breakfast (this is allowed by my surgeon from day 3 after surgery) and I had such a busy day at work that I realized I hadn't had anything else all day. I never even thought about it all day. (Not that this is necessarily a good thing!)
I only have a bit of pain if I forget and try to sit up in bed instead of roll over. The incisions no longer hurt. I've never been nauseous. Never vomited at all since being sleeved.
My point of all this is, I'm loving this sleeve already. And it has only been one week!

July12 reacted to moonlitestarbrite in No artifical sweeteners or processed products
we dont eat any artifical sweeteners or flavorings or dyes in our home. i am concerned that so much stuff on my first post op diet plan are "sugar free" processed products. i have bought hemp Protein powder... its pretty minimally processed. i plan on making and storing homemade Bone Broth (chicken and beef). we get milk right from the farmer, and i have found a brand of plain greek yogurt i like. i also plan on juicing cucumber, romaine, apples, pears, etc. anything low sugar.
i think i will be fine but keep worrying.
