This Jan 7th sleever is doing so well! Finally passed the 2 week stall and have gone down 3-4lbs Congrats on breaking your stall @@acherishedbear!!!
I will say that during the stall, I did shrink--just took some pants to the tailor to be taken in at the waist yesterday b/c I don't want to buy anything new yet either.
I'm doing well w/ Protein & exercise. I've become a mall Walker on chilly days lol! Trying to walk 30-40 min a day. I could do better w/ my liquids. Mostly drinking crystal light sweet tea & an occasional Proti-diet drink b/c it has 15g Protein, but it's 70 cal. What are you drinking??
Yesterday was the 1st day that I are something that I thought was crazy delicious, but the amount was like 4 spoonfuls! I just learned that I get scared that I'm eating too much if I ENJOY my food! Crazy!
I take a sleep aid at night b/c I have trouble falling asleep AND b/c it keeps me out of the pantry. Evenings have always been a challenge for me w/ snacking. Have a great day!!!!

Thank you. I am doing well. Down 13 lbs from surgery day. Having a little trouble getting all my Water & Protein in each day. Get to start pureed/mushy foods tomorrow. Hoping I can do better with the pureed foods. Not hurting & increasing walking everyday. Feeling stronger & getting more energy every day. Looking forward to being able to work out & swimming. How are you doing?

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I went with Dr Troy Houseworth at Franciscan. My surgery date is March 1, 2016. I'm glad to finally be moving on to this stage of the journey.

Thank You!!

Veronica,
You can do this! We have all had struggles. That is why we are going through this process. Weight loss is HARD!! Each day is a new day & take the opportunity to make good choices for that day & that moment! We are here for each other!

I've found a powdered Peanut Butter that is 45 cal (13fat cal) & 5g Protein for 2 Tablespoons mixed w/ 1 Tablespoon of Water (I actually used 1T of Fairlife 1%milk b/c of the very high protein & low carb/cal) & this mixture is really helping me swallow 2-3 of my large Vitamins. Please share anything interesting that you all find❤️

Last thing was anetheseoligist saying, "Here is some oxygen."
First thing was I thought oh it's over.

sugar free throat lozenges & I was so glad I had brought an extension cord for my cell phone

Was sleeved on Jan 7th. Had complications with low blood pressure, low red blood & low potassium. Finally got to come home on the 11th!! I am doing ok getting fluids in, walking & using incentive spirometer. Have 2 week post opt. appt. on the 19th. Not sure on weight loss yet as I was so bloated after being pumped full of IV fluids to get blood pressure up. Excited to get weighed on Tues. Hope all those who had surgeries recently are doing well

Good luck!!! You'll do great!

Yay for being home! I didn't weigh until my 2 week post op since I knew I was swollen and it would discourage me. Now I'm doing about once per week. It's so hard getting those fluids in at first. I didn't want or tolerate much the first few days home either but it slowly gets a little easier. Broth was my saving grace. I got so sick of sweet Protein. You're doing great!

Oh I hope you can go soon! As long as your ok though! Glad your pain is tolerable

I too had my sleeve on 1/5/16. I was home on Thursday. On Protein diet and liquids diet for one week then on soft foods the next week. Everything went well. I was nauseous and in pain for one day. The Meds helped a lot. By Thursday I felt much better. Today my fifth day I was out at Aldi's getting organic stuff to make my protein smoothies. I can drink about 64 oz of Water in 12 hours and two Protein Drinks in 10 hours. I try to have broth with my Vitamins so it won't upset my stomach. I have not weighted myself yet. Will do so on Sunday. But I know I've lost weight. The Victoria's Secret Pjs I got for Christmas wouldn't fit and now the pants is lose and feels comfy. Scars are healing well. I am not hungry but it could be the protein drinks. My Breakfast one almond milk and is filling with Protein Powder. A little Greek yogurt to change up a little.

Thank you! Looks my blood press is under control. I have taken 3 walks around the unit. Each lap a little longer. Ready to go home.

I had my sleeve surgery on 1/5/16, and it took about 1.5 hours, then home 2 days later, now drinking Protein, broth, juice, meeting goals. Good luck!
