Hey all, my surgery is not until August 30th.... 5 days!!!! EEEEkkk!!!! But I am curious to know how my fellow August sleevers are doing. What are your experiences? What things did or did not happen as you expected? Any tips for those of us about to join the Losers team and embark on this journey with you?

Thank you so much for the feedback.
I have been on a liquid diet for almost two weeks, but have only lost around 5 pounds so far. I am terrified my liver hasn't shrank enough.

Hey September Sleevers.... My surgery date was August 30th, so I'm almost right there with you guys!! How is everyone doing so far?? I'm two weeks post op today and I am really starting to feel good. share you surgery experiences, questions, and concerns here with your fellow September sleevers!!!

I honestly think I’m not eating enough as well. I started interval workouts again today and everyone went on about how amazing I look so that felt really good since it’s hard to really see when I see myself every day. I’m allowed solids this week and also have been allowed up to 1100 calories but today/yesterday (Monday/Tuesday morning) I only ate about 300 calories and worked off at least that much with a 30 min hard workout + 80 minute dog walk. I’ll most likely have another Protein Shake and snack but that will still be 600 max.

Totally having half an in n out burger Protein style later today though. I’m so excited.

broke my dreaded stall. i ate a little extra yesterday for some reason felt hungry and woop down 3#. I'll take it!!!!

My journey so far from surgery 8/9 to present

I should probably get it too.

I have that book, but haven't read it yet.
I probably should.

I was sleeved two days ago. Minor pain where my incisions are. I'm still in the hospital with an IV, so the IV site still hurts a bit. I am starving.
I don't miss food. A few months ago, I read a book called Never Binge Again, and it really helped me work through some of my food addiction.
The real test for me will be when I am at home and work, where everyone is eating stuff I can't have.

I am 13 days post op.
Hungry all the time.
Miss my favorite foods.
Miss pizza and wings.
Having said that, I don't regret the surgery.
My incisions are all but healed.
I wish the weight was dropping faster.
Looking forward to getting thin.

I've heard 80% of weight loss is nutritional. Yeah, that sucks.

im not but i think i should start. its so frustrating. i even boosted up my workouts. smh

My surgery date was 8/30 and I've notice in the past 48 hours how much better and more energetic I feel!!! I am having an issue getting in all of my Protein and water... I am trying tho. I feel like I am in a stall already... Someone told me to do nothing but eggs, shakes, and Water for a whole week and that will give me a boost. I am starting my workout regimen as well now that i am feeling better. I am loving and hating this all at the same time. Discourage and disappointed with my slow loss.

Mine recommends them.

I wish I knew how great I would feel in 10 months, in six months, in four months after the surgery. I wish I had known how good I was going to feel in the long run, so that he didn't have to be so afraid beforehand or in the first few weeks after the surgery when I felt like I would never be "normal" again. Because the truth is, I feel more "normal" than I have since I've been an adult.

Sleeved 8/18 and I just hit my puréed stage....has anyone had their puréed foods get stuck in like the chest area? Caused a lot of discomfort but now I've been thining my pureeds out with Water to make them a little less thick. Still don't get the urge to feel hungry but I know I'm not supposed to go without taking in some kind of protein... but I had my post op appointment last week and my doctor said I'm doing amazing. And the plus side down 24 pounds! Trying to hit 30! Hopefully soon

Get therapy n plz take care of ur self

All I know is I bought some pre-op just to see what the fuss was about. Made a big ole cup of ice cream, and yuck. The lemon cake was awful. I put it on the counter top to wash in the morning. Morning came and there it was, sitting there exactly as I left it. In the same mounded shape with one spoonful missing. It did not melt. In my book that ain't right! #frankenfood

How much the gas pain sucks the first few days post op, and that I would still be hungry after surgery.

All of the above and that a good core binder for post op would have been great to know about! Getting in and out of bed ...up and down on the toilet was Theeee Worst pain I've ever felt and I've had rotator cuff surgery[emoji15] I found one on Amazon for bariatric/tummy tuck/C-section surgeries and it was worth every penny! The more I moved without it my inner stitches wouldn't heal!

You probably want to make sure they're whole grain and have nutritious value. I'm only a week out (aug 23) but when I can eat it will be whole grain pita with tuna/chicken salad.
