Great job with your weight loss. I'm at 202, maybe we can both make it to onederland this week:)

203

I've been on vacation for the last week. I haven't weighed myself. I've been tracking my foods but I haven't exercised this week. I feel great, energy is increasing. No problems with eating and drinking:) I go back to work on Thursday!

Happy Monday! I can say that because I haven't returned to work yet, lol. I'm off till the 17th of July. I weigh daily, it keeps me motivated. So today I am 207.4!

Stall over ( for now) down 1.5 lbs. yeah!!! I am 8 lbs from my first goal- onederland here I come

I lost 8 pounds pre op and 12 post op, so far

I was on a 2week preop diet. I started a week or so earlier with replacing a meal with a shake. I enjoyed some of my favorite foods the last week as well. I knew it would be a while before I could have them again. get in the habit if tracking. try different Protein powders, but don't buy in bulk as your taste may change after surgery . The liquid diet can be challenging - just hang in there! If you are a coffee person start decreasing it now, you don't want caffeine withdrawal in the postop stage. congrats on your decision for surgery! I had my sleeve on June 9th, good luck!

Welcome to the 3rd week stall- anyone else with me? I know it happens. I started back to the gym this week increasing my walking intensity. Hopefully that will help. I track everyday on myfitnesspal. purée stage going well, will move to mushy/soft next week. How are the rest of the June 9th folks doing?

If you area big coffee person, as I was, start weaning yourself off it now. Caffeine withdrawal. Is no fun. practice eating without drinking . The first few days postop were the hardest, don't get frustrated. Just keep sipping liquids and walking

Upgraded to puréed foods! Yeah ! Not going back to work till 7/17! Due to lifting requirements of my job.

I have my first post op appointment tomorrow, down 17lbs!! just been sipping and walking:) I don't think I will be allowed to go back to work yet. I'm a nurse and have to be able to lift. my one incision opened, it's filling in but I don't like how it looks. I noticed it last Thursday, call the doctor- told to clean it with mild soap and keep it open to air. glad I have appointment tomorrow

You may be dehydrated. You could go to the ER for fluids. Ask for nausea medicine that is not a pill. There are suppositories for nausea- phenergan. Maybe this would help. Don't worry about your doctor being upset, this is your health and you need to do what's best for you

I didn't tell my parents prior to surgery. my dad is having health concerns. They called me today with an update and ask for my work number, so if an emergency arises they will be able to contact me. I had to tell them I am on medical leave and why. My mom's response was" you didn't need that, you know better" I guess I don't know better cause my surgery was two weeks ago. I have a trip planned to see them in 2 weeks, not looking froward to the disapproval I will be facing. Hopefully they will see the weight loss and that I'm doing well and am happy with my decision. My dad was upset I didn't tell them before, gee I wonder why I didn't tell them?

When I did it- I are broth for dinner, sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles for Snacks. I tried different Protein powders so I wouldn't get sick of any one flavor - good luck

Lip balm! Some people bring a small pillow, it's nice to have for the ride home( put it between seat belt and belly). Something easy to put on when your are discharged... I brought a sports bra and maxi dress( no waist line to rub the incisions) don't forget a charger for your electronics( bring an extra long one if you have it) pre op diets- each doctor does their own thing. I had a two week liquid diet and I think that was harder than my recovery after surgery. My pain has been manageable. Get up and walk as soon as possible!
Best wishes on your surgery, I am 9 days post op with no regrets!

Congrats on your decision! I have no regrets. I am 6 days post op. the nerves will not leave you until it's done. You did your research, planned a course , not just put it in the hands of your medical team. The pain has been minimal, ( except for the gas) walk,walk,walk. Sip, sip,sip. Listen to your new tummy- I couldn't get all my liquids in till day 4 post op, each day I would just keep at it. Let us know how your doing after surgery! Be kind to yourself

Check out the blog- theworldaccordingtoeggface. Lots of recipe ideas for sleevers
