Hi Krista, when is your surgery booked? My Sleeve was 4th july this year.

Omg your about to have your surgery? how exciting! Its good you have no nerves its the best thing ever, please let me know how you get on

When my friend came to visit me in hospital she said ' omg youve lost so much weight" i am still on a high from it even though some of the weight drop is due to being sick lol ha

HI Lillie , thank you for being so kind and checking on me, it means alot, I hear the saying of needin to get worse to get better, I am in the phase of not feeling better, but have a lot of pain relief through my drip which helps. I have been moved to my own side room which is nice so not with other patience and I have a window so nice fresh air is coming so that nice! I have not been eating and drinking much but trying, how are you?

I understand you have done it your whole adult life most of us have, but you have to ask your self when will you take responsibility to change the habits from your previous adult life ( pre sleeve) Not excersising though its healthy for you its not the end of the world if you are focusing on eating the right foods, so perhaps you can focus on getting food and water on track. Get a journal, write what your goals are, what you want to achieve, how you will feel once you have got were you want to get to. What is your eaiting like ? Start from today one meal at a time, if you need 4 bottles of water a day whi takes me to 64+ ounces I have two before breakfast, one before lunch and one before dinner. and any extra water i have is after Could this help keep up with water?

Ca you go into more detail how you sabotage yourself?

What was your daily eating like at 3months please?

If your following low carb why are you drinking ketones? Drinking ketones does nothing but make your pee test positive for ketosis. But if you ate a turn of carbs then drank it sure your pee will show ketosis. But that's because you've just drank ketones. Your not in real fat burning mode ketosis. All you've done is trick your pee to test positive but its not doing anything for your weight loss. And your getting back in real ketosis in the same amount of time. Why not just trust your plan without drinking that? You don't need any extra drinks to help you succeed. You've have your procedure. https://www.t-nation.com/diet-fat-loss/avoid-this-ketogenic-rip-off

Lol do some research. Drinking ketones just makes your pee say your back in ketosis. But your Not. If you eat loads of carbs then drink that it will show ketosis reading but you are not in the actual fat burning keto mode. Its just showing it in your pee. It takes the exact amount of time to get back on track except the potion makes you believe your in genuine ketosis when its just you peeing out what you drank

I love my sleeve because it has cured my high blood pressure. Your turn? I like hearing positive things about others, some of you may know I am in the hospital at the moment, have been since last Sunday, not sleeve related so my sleeve excitement has been put in the back ground but still so happy with my sleeve, though it makes it hard when your sick as I can not drink or eat enough when feeling unwell, but I would not change it for the world so just need to remind myself of all the good things that people love their sleeve for. I also loved reading stuff like this pre sleeve to see what I may have to look forward to.

Goodluck on your journey

It happens to everyone. Keep up your fluids, make sure you are tracking everything your eating to check nothing is slipping throuh and usually after a couple of weeks the stal passes on its own.

You should not expect anything, every single human body is different and works different, there is no way to tell what you should expect. No one knows your body, I know my body enough, but still no way I could have estimated the amount of loss. Aslong as you follow the plan you should expect to lose weight, thats it. But not a particular amount, expectations can lead to feeling of failure " I SHOULD have lost more" Most of us have been there. Not the answer you were looking for but honest and from my experience none the less, and I asked the same questions pre op , so I am not saying you should not ask.

Swollow test asap to see if there is something effecting your swollowing. your surgeon should arange this i would have thought seen as you only had surgery not long ago

If you have problems swollowing you should hve contacted your team by now

Dont worry! its probably nothing! but ive learnt my lesson to not get things checked as soon as i notice it , ive been in hospital since last sunday with some issues, i wished i sorted sooner, so best to get it sorted sooner and it be nothing than wait

I have never known it to be a common symptom, and neither would I wait around, as getting checked by your doctor wont do any harm. My friend had itching that was not even that bad and it was her liver, it could be nothing, but i dont think you should just self treat without seeing anyone.

do you have a walk in centre? If the itching is super bad you should get seen. How far out and what do you eat. I'm lucky I only had issues with constipation for first week

Maybe go to the Dr. I know itching can be s sign of things. But my boob itched when I started loosing weight and getting sore underneath . don't know why. Better now

I was weighed today. But I'm not eating much solid food and I'm getting three bags of fluid a day through iv and IV pain killers. I was 205 on admission last Sunday in a week I am 213 I don't eat much. I have never finnished a hospital meal. I don't eat toast or cereal. Infact they want me to eat more as I feel sick when I eat Couple bites of scrabbled egg. Lunch is a curry rice and veg. I just eat two bites of meat. Dinner the same - 2 bites of meat. A block of cheese tiny onee in packaging. So sad because I was so sick I dropped to 205 from 210 in a couple days Now my hard work is for nothing.

Glad it went well. Did your surgeon say you can fast at 9 weeks? No judgment but seems abit soon as your still healing. But if your surgeon says its fine then wonderful.

I won't be weighing this week as I've been in hospital since Sunday. But please don't remove me from spreadsheet. I want to stay in this

Very interesting that it changes. Currently one bag of protein chips 100 cals I can only eat a few so don't bother weighting. Tortilla chips I weigh out 1 ounce of it then one ounce cashew nuts. And if I eat them at the same time there is Half the stuff left.

Lol you wish you had the dumping were you could just randomly empty your rear end out of no where in your pants infront of people because you ate the wrong thing? lol nah i would take constipation

I am sure someone can help you though different sliders for different people like nuts is a slider for some filling for others. Can I ask why you want a list of slider foods? I assume you already have a list of foods you can eat. It is true that you will feel fuller on dense protein . But I still felt full on puree stage some dont.
