I was sleeved August 11th. I am currently at my 3 wk stall! I've lost a total of 23 pounds but thanks to my stall that is where I am stuck!

Just checking in. Still striving with the sleeve. I found out the hard way that my tummy does not like bananas. I felt like my pouch was going to explode. I had to drink ginger tea. I am 10 pounds from a total 100 pounds loss from my highest weight. 50 pounds from my surgery.I don't even know how to register this. It's unbelievable. Still have a long road ahead of me.I did have a confrontation with cake and lost. Cake is my enemy,it's no secret over here. No more cake is coming in this house. I am back on track today. I hope that everyone is doing well and keep pushing. If you fall,get up and start again.
Later Losers!

I know the feeling!! That is exactly how I am right now!!

Way to go. Only 34 pounds to go. You can do it!

Hi all it's been awhile since I posted anything hope all are doing well in your weight loss. I have reach my first goal I wanted to be under 200 by my 2 month post-op and I have I am so happy, my clothes are fitting lose people can notice and I can too. I only weigh once a week. I think if I weigh more than that I will make myself crazy. So my start weight 240 now 197. I pray that everyone be successful in their journey. Until next time

Well after lurking and reading this thread since it started I thought it was time to introduce myself and share my experience. I was sleeved 08/20 things went easy, not much pain and although I could only eat and ounce or two, food progression was going well. Felt so go I went back to work after 2 ½ weeks, my only complaint was Constipation which like many of you Miralax was the cure. At exactly three weeks I had terrible abdominal pain and a fever of 102, called my DR at 10:00pm and he instructed me to go directly to the ER. After six hours the Dr assured me it was not a leak, I was admitted with diverticulitis. Well back to clear liquid diet and some major antibiotics, spent four days in hospital that was longer then I was there after my surgery this infection really kicked my butt.

Just hit the six week mark and I’m down 30# which I’m quite happy with, I did hit a stall but it seems to have broken this week when I finally started hitting my Protein goal of 80-90 grams. I’ve definitely notice that I can eat more of some Proteins then others and I am trying to get some veggies and fruit for the Fiber, calorie count is between 600-700. I see the Dr Monday hope he is as pleased with my progress as I am, I’m also hoping to get the ok to start so resistance/weight training.

You all seem to be doing great and I look forward to sharing this journey with you all.

Hey Hey Hey. Motherofthree checking in. I think I am 5 weeks post op now. Pushing the Water and the Protein. I cannot even eat one egg in a sitting. But I am good with that. It seems like i am always eating. I try to eat every two hours. I do get hunger pains when it is time to eat, like now lol. I went back to having my oatmeal for Breakfast and now its for lunch too. I feel awesome and blessed indeed.
Glad to see that everyone is doing better this time out. It was not easy and for some it still is not. Let's keep focused and keep it moving. It will get better and you will come to love your new tummy. I know I do.
Later losers!

Hey fellow August sleevers. Just want to report I am doing well. Lost 29 lbs from beginning of pre op diet, down 2 pant and top sizes. Been walking almost a mile every day (I need knee replacements). And did 10 minutes of seated aerobic exercises. I feel good. Learning how much and how slow to eat. Bowels are better. As someone else said "this is not a race but a journey". I'm glad I'm on it. Hope everyone is happy with theirs. Ps I'm 65 yo.

What are "the SLIMES"?

Hey Hey Hey! Motherof5 checking in. As of yesterday I am officially a month out. I went ti the surgeon on Monday and I am down 9 pounds. That brings me to 264 pounds now. And a total of 69 pounds friom my highest weight. Unfortunately my BP is still sky high. I still have a long journey ahead with 100 pounds more to lose. I am thankful that I do not have to take my BP meds crushed. That stuff is terrible. I did get very sick the other because I took my meds on an empty stomach. I figured it was from my first egg or the pills. So, now I am straight with that. It still depend on my prtoein shakes. Now I just add fruit to it or spinach and kale. I do the green smoothies to help with the potty issues. I switched my Vitamins and started those today. Umm, I cannot eat a lot and I don't overeat. It makes me feel so bad and like something is about to come out of my throat.Who wants to feel like that? It took me all day to eat one egg, geesh. I started doing my recumbent bike, 3 days on and 1 day off. I also found an awesome app on my tablet that I can work on my upper body and bum. i will probably start that tonight or next week. No rush. other than that, I am blessed and doing awesome over here. Oh, I do not weight myself. I wait until my office visits for that. It gives me motivation, the drive to stay on track with my plan. I push myself so that hopefully I will be pleased at my next visit. My new goal is 254 when I go back in October.
I noticed how awesome the August folks are doing now. It is much easier now, isn't it? Remember to stay on plan as much as possible. Drink lots of Water and do the Protein fisrt. Don't sweat the scale because the stall is bound to happen. You are most likely losing in inches.
Later Loser!

I was nauseous all the time as well so I talked to my surgeon's nurse. She told me that it's possible my sense of smell has heightened and that's why I was nauseous. She suggested I put a bit of Vicks under my nose. It worked great.

Okay ladies!! I stepped on the scale today and it looks like the stall I've been on for 3 wks is finally over... That is unless the scales were just playing with my emotions! ???? I will be so happy to have that stubborn stall behind me.

Oh wow.... I'm ashamed I am having a hard time at a mile! Tomorrow morning this girl is going to push it!!! That's awesome you are doing 4 miles.

I take 13 pills a day and I've been swallowing them while since the day I got home from surgery! I've had no problems. I just now I have to take them 1 at a time where as I used to could take a few at a time.
