I have an awesome post but I'm looking to share and receive this journey with other June 1st sleevers. How's your pre liquid diet coming along? For me it varies, sometime through out the day it's easier then it might get harder. I think the hard part is when I start cooking dinner and my mouth starts to water. After i doing some chores I just don't have any energy for the rest of the day. Starting weight 285, current weight 260/259 couldn't tell on scale.

I had my phase 2 meeting with my NUT and I asked her about this stall I had been on for 1.5 wks. We went over food intake, Water, supplements and working out. At this stage she mentioned I should be trying to balance all of these key things becuase one could slow down the weight loss. The next day I went back on the tred mill and stayed on a little longer and WALLA. The scale started going down the next morning -3 lbs. Since then, the scale has been going down -1 lb or 1/2 lb per day. Anybody going going through these small stalls here and there? The NUT also gave me a killer receipe which I cannot wait to try, she swore by it: pancakes: 1 egg cottage cheese cinnamon -
I was sleeved 6/1. I too normally have to supplement bkfast with a shake then I'm good. I can eat 2oz per meal.

I was sleeved June 1 and have lost 52 lb total. I lost 15 lb pre surgery and 37 after surgery. My plan is to get min 60 g of protein and 64 Oz water'standard and for the most part I hit my goal or close to it. My starting weight was 284 and I'm now at 232 I LOVE IT! I hit a stall close to week 4 then scale dropped 10 lb. I seemed to hit another stall at week 7 but scale dropped 2 lb today. I know I'm doing all I should be, so I don't stress on it because I know eventually the scale will drop and there is nothing else I can do to make it go down. Everyone is just so different. I want the scale to drop but when I don't see it move, I say we'll tomorrow it will. I seem to have these stalls but then rapid loss, I accept the pace of my weight loss and just keep moving forward. Let's all stay strong June sleevers!

How's everyone doing? I had the famous 3 or 4 week stall. I noticed earlier this week how head hunger or bad habit still lingers in the mind. My eating issue has always been snacking or eating late night when I go to bed and watch tv, when I started my journey my nut stated I could snack at night but w protein. I snacked healthy at night from beginning of journey until last week. At 10 pm or so I normally would go get 1 tsp of hummus and 1/2slice of monterrey cheese. Well I stopped and said to my self does my stomach feel hungry-no. Ok, it's just a habit and this could hurt me in the long run so I haven't snacked at night in a week, instead I find something else to focus on like a movie or something. I'm trying to be more aware of my body and true hunger since I'm loving the wls results. -

My sleeve was on June 1, I asked nut about alcohol consumption for a family trip that would take place at my 8 wk mark. Nut didn't recommend beer but OK with a few sips of wine. She stated my stomach might only agree with only a few sips. I hope this helps. -

The first two weeks I too felt w fatigue like most. At my post op I spoke w doc and he asked how much water was I drinking (I was only drinking half) he said it's not how little food I'm eating it's the WATER INTAKE. Standard intake 62 or 64 oz. Once I started increasing water I felt good. -

I was told I needed to pass gas in order to go home and this morning finally. Try massaging the bottom part of your stomach downward, insitions should be higher on stomach. -

The gas pressure is gone and I was released from hospital today. Each meal I'm only eating a few bites of sf jello and a few spoon of broath. I have to eat slow and I don't over do it.if I start feeling pressure, I stop. Each day I feel better and can eat a few more bites.
