Happy Sleever

Sleeves don't stretch, so you're fine there.
6 months is the point at which my team allows alcohol--some other teams want you to wait a full year--so you're probably fine there. I mean, yeah, 3 glasses is a lot, and all the extra Water tomorrow to compensate is a good idea. But in the scheme of things, it's no biggie.

A sliver of pie one day a year is not how any of us got fat to begin with, and it's not enough to ruin all of your hard work thus far.
Go back to your Proteins and veggies like nothing happened, and it'll be fine. You don't have to punish yourself with a liquid-only day; just keep doing the work you've been doing thus far, and treat this like what it was: a single day when you indulged more than you meant to--and still way less than you would have before surgery--but just one day out of over 6 months of eating to nourish your body and an upcoming lifetime of doing the same.

This is great story thank you so much for sharing ! Fantastic job! You look really really good!

Per my program I eat 1/2 c. (4 ozs) 3 times a day, no Snacks. Protein Shakes to supplement and get me to 70-90g Protein a day. I was also told to eat within an hour of waking so my body has the fuel it needs for the day.
I've lost 110lbs since surgery 1/31/18.

First of good luck!! (; secondly being overweight to me is worse the sagging skin because at least you can hide the sag. Being fat you can’t conceal it. As far as being scared last minute off course! But just think positive thoughts and truthfully after you drop 20 the first week you will be so grateful! I’m 7 days post op now and feeling so pleased I went thru with it. I had canceled my first surgery date the week before. I’m like I can do this on my own. Then I ordered Chinese delivery and opened the food etc and there was silverware for 4. I’m like omg. I called the next day and booked surgery again fir nov 14 and I’m so pleased I did. Good luck

Excellent and Congrats to you!!!!! You’re going to love it!

Congrats on ur weight loss. I’m only week out but it’s fantastic what you have achieved!

Happy Thanksgiving as well. Tomorrow will be one week for me. I don’t have any pain but definitely weak I couldn’t imagine doing ball room dancing lol. I’m on liquids strained Soups yogurt until day 16 then cottage cheese tuna etc. so far so good. 15,000 well spent! I’ll save that first 3 months of not eating lol

I am almost 15 months Post Op (RnY Bypass). My goal weight is 165 lbs and this afternoon I weighed in at 170.0, only 5 lbs away. I am starting to feel a lot of emotion about my journey. It has been a lot easier than I thought it would be and the weight loss was slower than I expected but it was steady. I now find myself wondering if I am going to stop losing when I reach 165 lbs or will I continue? Will it have to be a daily thought to eat a little more than I am eating now so I will stop losing? I am excited for Thanksgiving and know that I won't have any problems eating correctly and not over eating, Once I set my mind to something I have no problem achieving it, I almost enjoy the challenge.
I would like to hear from others on how they felt as they approached their goal weight. Was it hard to maintain or did you keep losing?

Yeah umm has everything to do with being fat. People look away from you. Like past you. When people haven’t experience being obese not just overweight it’s s totally different ball game. Like when waiter comes to the table and barely make eye contact when you order but with your trim parents they do. It’s unreal. I’ve been up and down all my life with weight loss and there is def a difference hot obese people are treated. In shale people just don’t get it’s not calories in work out so be it. They don’t get it at all. It took decades until my family finally understood what I had been going too. Eh screw anyone who doesn’t get us. Now it’s our time to thrive! (; good luck to all of you!

Nice ideas here thank you! 6 days out and very useful food examples!

Good luck !! The next part of your life is just about to start!!!! Make sure you walk and use your spirometer every two hours no matter how drugged or tired you are! I’m so excited for you!!

I had it 2 years before issues started. I loved my band and wish it didn’t move. I had removal and sleeve on Nov 14. If I was t so active in lifting it probably wouldn’t of moved. Shame great tool.

Tomorrow I am off to the Dr. to get my stitches out! I get them out 2 days early due to my 2 week post op falling on Thanksgiving. I am excited for this appointment and have lots of good questions lined up for him. As of this morning i am down a total of 27.6 pounds and 7.6 since surgery. I am OK with this for two reasons.. Today i had to take Swift Kriss for Constipation LOL.. So i hope it kicks in before morning. Also, I gained 13.6 during surgery. I am not sure if there is anymore surgery swelling to drop or not. Either way for a few days, once i hit break even ( Thursday-1 week post op) then it dropped almost 2.5 pounds for 2 days in a row and then 1.8 and 1.2.. I am sure it will balance out somewhere and shouldn't be more than a pound a day i would think. Will see all what he says tomorrow.

I wanted to welcome you also . Although I am an newish RNY bypasser (9/05/2018) most of my best friends are sleevers. You'll find friends on here from both sides of the WL aisle, it's like the Army and Navy, we are allies in the Bariatric Wars and we help each other out as much as possible😛😎😇!

Oh the great part lol. Since liquid diet Nov 6 until today down 16 lbs omg when I just wrote it I got more excited!!

Welcome!! Good luck with your approval! I just had mine done Nov 14 and already pleased. Minimal pain, no nausea, so far so good! I got the two ounce cups from dollar tree so it’s easier to make it thru the day without thinking!!

Wow! You described EXACTLY the feeling I had running down my throat etc to the tee! I was concerned I had a leak so I’ve been taking temp regularly. If your techs cardia you might want to get check ASAP. Call your doctor and tell him tachy and check you temp. The only difference is I can sip fine and goes down but I feel every inch of it. Today is day 4 for me and I don’t feel it as much. Our stomachs are healing so we will feel and hear unusual obsure things going on.  It was a relief to see someone had this same description. But seriously thinks to watch for are tachy and fever. I’m down 20 pounds I’m in awe and so excited!! Hopefully tomorrow it will be less noticeable swallowing as it did for me. Good luck to you!

Hello. I had mine past Wednesday the 14 Th. I’ve started from the time I woke up drinking propel and chicken broth every 15 mins. after four hours of that I get very full. Protein Shakes I’m totally turned off to as well. On Day 3 my doctor wanted me on strained Soups and Fag yogurt. Omg the Fag Greek yogurt with scoop Protein Powder a bit soy milk mix all up put in two oz Dixie cups and sip one every 15. mins. The thought of Protein shakes anymore makes me nauseas. Light cream of chicken Soup with 4 eggs blended well and cooked on sauce pan then put into two inch Dixie cups. Taste like egg drop soup lol. And in between all this I drink 48 oz a day. So basically from 9 in the Morning until evening every 15 mins food or Water I’m intaking. Good luck.
