I was sleeves on April 14th 2015 and I'm down 110lbs!
SW: 344
CW: 234

I make my own P3 Protein packs with some low fat cheese, almonds, and low sodium deli meat or a boiled egg. Not sure that this is the best choice, but I have also found that 1 large chili from Wendy's will provide me with 3 lunches once portioned out! I also make some "skinny" deviled eggs using plain Greek yogurt instead of mayo that are a handy snack to keep in the fridge. If I'm desperate, a ready made Premier Protein shake is my meal, but I usually try to "eat" my meals rather than rely on shakes.< /p>

A friend of mine told me a great idea the other day I had not considered, and that is when you go to a grocery store salad bar, they have grilled chicken. You can get their dressing cup (4 ounces) and fill it with the chicken. BAM! 4 ounces of Protein for about 35 cents!

I don't understand this sleeve at all. For days I was miserable. Couldn't eat anything. Thought I was gonna die of starvation. Then today... No problems at all.
Able to drink Water well. Made chicken, potato and rice Soup added siracha. Was good. Feel fine. What the hell?. I mean I'm glad but what the heck?
I did up my omeprazol dosage to twice a day but that doesn't explain the ability to swallow today?. Maybe I just ate more carefully

Thisfat hope you have a good day at work

Before I went in for surgery, I had so many people at work stop me. It became a little uncomfortable as some I didn't actually associate with. I feel that some things come on a more personal level that others can't seem to understand.
I am not excited about returning in a week. I hope it mellows out for you. One thing they told me to expect was lost friendships. I don't know how prepared I am for that.

I am now 4 days post on and still having gas pains. I did have a BM yesterday and felt like I had accomplished a great feat lol. I went shopping at Walmart yesterday and was so exhausted I came home and slept for several hours. I get tired easily. I have been using a notebook to keep up with my Fluid intake and it seems to work well for me. I make columns for Water, Protein Shakes and other. Every time I drink an ounce I make a tic mark.

Normal for four days out.
You can take Tylenol for headaches if you don't want to use the prescription pain meds you were sent home with.

I'm not a candy person but I have wanted a hamburger and french fries for a while but since I can't eat I guess that Temptation will go by without ruining anything SMH

i made a mini hamburger. ate it just as fast as i wanted to and the size bites i wanted to.....just cuz i was frustrated and rebellious. then i threw it up. so win win.
i'll b ready to get back on the ball tomorrow. and to man up and stop bitching. in the meantime i lived on 3/4 of a turkey lunchable today. a little cup of mandarin oranges and a couple bites of yogurt.

I wish we all lived in the same place and we could meet up a couple times a week that would be great

Welcome. This is my outlet. I have not brought my sleeve business to Facebook. I was in a group for a couple of days, but left to come back here. They are out there though. I use this thread, full of other week of Oct. 5-9 sleevers and I follow another thread from 10/7 called Surgery Day.
I am also on MyFitnessPal with other sleevers so I can stalk others food diaries and exercise goals. It is motivating plus I get food ideas and a twinge to get off my booty and do some activity when it shows someone just burned off 500 calories from hiking for 3 hours.

Ok when we all meet our goal weight lets go out on the town and drive your car. I will bring my pit Jimmy Boy.

Thank you guys. I guess I always knew this was going to be a tough road so I'm just going to man up and deal with it. I do have good news. I was able to eat a few pieces of a lunchable. turkey cheese and I even had a half of an Oreo so it's getting there guys. thank you so much for your love and support right back at you. XO XO

I start Calcium on day 30 according to my NUT.

I am 17 days postop and have no desire to eat and I force myself to drink my Water. It is getting easier to eat/drink my Protein Drinks and chicken broth by the company Unjury are awesome and have 21grams of Protein I think per scoop.
I am a nurse and know fluids are important so I don't end up in the hospital with acute kidney failure or altered mental status for electrolytes being off.
Sip, sip, sip. Take care of your self

I'm two days post op, as well... I'm getting down homemade chicken broth and Water... that's about it. I had a sugar free popsicle yesterday, too. No desire to eat.

Four days out it takes me 1 1/2 hours to drink Protein Drink. Water tough getting down too. Is this normal?
Headache from hell but do not want to take pain meds. Any advice???

I get the Isopure no carb clear drinks at GNC and or Vitamin Shoppe. Also have them online on various Vitamin places and Amazon but then you have to worry about how they will ship considering they are fragile! Also I Water down the drinks a bit because some taste too sweet to me. I haven't been sleeved yet and they are already sweet so Water works great. Probably could use some diet juice too as long as sugar content is ok. If you do that you can mix and match flavors too. I prefer the fruit flavors to the tea ones but the lemonade one is good too. It's refreshing.

I like the Isopure no carb but I only drink the teas or coconut flavors so I can't speak to the fruit flavors. I was given Prosource NoCarb while in the hospital and used it for the first month post-op. It was great mixed in herbal tea.

My office also suggested SF chocolate Syrup or caramel syrup.

Thanks. I only took a pic cuz it matches my car lol

Ok. I'm gonna admit it. I had my first weepy moment tonight. I put two shrimp and like two ounces of angel hair Pasta and all I could get was one fucking shrimp and three bites of angel hair
I mean wtf! I'm tired of not being able to eat! It's so fucking annoying. And to top it off I might still throw it up. Not sure. Yet.
Here's my stupid ass 20lb loss pic. ????????
