I'm a little shy of two months (8/24) . I've lost 40lbs since the surgery and 80 about overall

Anyone else experience this? I walked 3 miles this AM. Notice this. Not sure when it appeared. Doesn’t hurt, even to touch. Don’t remember any injury to it.

Im a little over a month out of a sleeve and am otherwise doing great

sugar free pudding with Fairlife milk has been a godsend to me. also Prodiet Soup mixes (15G)

I had surgery the same day as you (sleeve). As of today I have lost about 25lbs. i expect that will slow down some as I add foods back in, but i feel like I can lose 15lbs a month till I get to my goal weight

Good luck

Tomorrow will be my two week out date and everything has seemed to go very well.

I'm at about 600 calories a day and close to meeting my Protein (60) and Fluid (64oz) goals.

I feel better everyday and have increased activity

The last 3/4 days i have experience lightheadedness every time i get up from lying down. i don't ever feel like I'm going to pass out but it is a bit unnerving.

Any thoughts?

Only an hour? Gosh I am lucky to get 15-22 ml in every 15 minutes, if I do nothing else while doing it. House doesn't get vacumned, dishes get washed, laundry done and folded. I am not out paying bills, visiting various doctors unless I carry a water bottle everywhere. And that looks worse than a 3 1/2 year old with a baby bottle! No my own kiddos didn't have THAT PROBLEM, they were breast-fed into training and other cups but in my large group of First and Second cousins there are many examples. My cousin Amy Dues grandson, I was starting to believe Logan would start kindergarten with an elongated tea cosy over Mr Bottle, his best friend! And there was Miranda Kane , his older sister that we would have to pop the Binkie out of her mouth before she got ready for Brownies. Really don't want to runnother people's lives, but Jeese-Wowee , that is a prolonged period of time! You think I am a comic? Meet some of the fruits,nuts and apples on My Family Tree, Jeff Foxworthy would say they are worse than REDNECKS, known most of them all my life and they still amaze ME!

this was super helpful, thanks

i really want to be able to chug Water

I can do 20oz if i sit and concentrate on it but it takes an hour

Got the sleeve 7 days ago

Down 12lbs. Feeling good

Can't do more than 1 shake a day. Getting closer to 64 oz of Fluid a day on the Water side. Can usually sit down once a day and do 20z in an hour

Protein has been between 40-60g. Broke the 500cal mark yesterday.

Feeling pretty good- got 6-7000 steps each of the last two days. Less and less pain everyday.

I have moderate concerns that i am doing too much too fast. I'm also bored out of my skull, so there's that.

Follow up appointment Wednesday

Last night was the first time I dreamed about eating. I got sleeved 6/24.

As I was eating too fast in my dreams, I was in pain

Anyone else experience this?

hydration is brutal

Got 57oz yesterday.

Today was first outside walk- just made it 2000 steps.

How do you get all that info under your profile name with location, start weight, etc ?

You found it!

Congrats on the journey ! I was wondering how is your mobility ? How hard to bend over and put on socks or get in and out of a car ?

I am absolutely experiencing this

also, are you guys still taking tylenol?

I went on 6/24

Still in some pain, but I think it is normal. Not getting a ton of calories. Trying to get to 64oz of Water. When do you hit that first?

Got sleeved Monday

Today I woke up at 299.8- first time under 3 bills in a long time.

First attempt at a Protein Shake this am and see how it goes.

Being under 300lbs doesn't seem like much of a victory in the long run, but it is a start

im day 2 and have been able to do 20z in an hour on two different occasions. is this a bad thing? i have the same concerns

congrats

I had mine monday and i am feeling so much different just two days later. Good luck

I got to come home today

I ate 6 oz of broth before i left hospital. Working toward liquid and Protein goal today.

I took a little nap, but am gonna polish this 20oz water bottle in about an hour. Too fast?

64oz of fluids and 60g of protein seems like a hefty goal

So far today (day one post op) I’ve been able to consume the fillowing

3oz veggie broth

8oz Water

6oz chicken broth

ive been working my way through 20ox of crystal light all day

they just brought me 6oz of beef broth and a Jello cup for dinner

i cant keep up. Does this seem in line with what you guys are day one?

Thanks. Since I’m new I haven’t quite been able to figure out how to change my profile numbers using my phone.

can anyone help?

Hanging in the hospital after getting sleeved yesterday. Things went well. My only surprised is that when they weighed me this AM I gained 6lbs from when I came in yesterday AM.

i have stents in my heart so might be here another day- hopefully not.

up and walking and feeling good

Congratulations and wishing you the very best of luck on your upcoming surgery.

I would advise you to not schedule working lunches with your clients/friends for the first few months. You have to learn how to eat with your new stomach. It has happened to me a couple of times when I thought I was going to be fine, but still ended up being sick. It is very easy to get distracted. On your first month or so, you need to focus on what you're eating, to chew slow and to pay attention to what your stomach is saying...whether you're full or not. It was embarrassing that a couple of times, I had to excuse myself from the table and got super sick. Even though I can now enjoy the company of others on my lunch breaks, I now prefer to walk. well, maybe I go out with them once a week, but I really enjoy my "me" time.

Lunches: I pack something light and easy to eat for lunch. Yogurt, Hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese, beef jerkies, grapes and cheese.... I notice I get full quickly with sandwiches or Pasta, so I avoid them at work. I can also now eat chicken/tuna salads.

Drinks: Water..water..water.. when we go out on the weekend, I am now able to drink up to 2 Michelob Ultra or 1 Vodka+diet coke.

Good Luck

Thanks so much

14 years out.

I order only an entree (as not enough room for an appetizer) and ensure it’s a lot of Protein. A steak, double cheeseburger; etc. I eat as much as I can and take the rest with me. It’s never been a problem.

I can’t help with the drinks, as I don’t partake; but I do know one should wait 6-12 months before having one. You don’t want your liver to work double time on weight loss and alcohol.

Thanks!

Hey guys

I'm scheduled for a sleeve 6/24. I'm 5 days into pre op diet and it has been rough, but going ok. It has given me confidence because I'm eating so little right now and feeling ok.

I could use some help with work meals. I am frequently in situations where i meet clients, co workers, etc... for lunch, or for drinks. How do you guys handle this? Not necessarily during pre/post op stage, but more from a sustainable/ long term angle

Thanks

Also new. Scheduled for 6/24. Started liquid diet today
