I was sleeved on 3/23 and feel great! I kind of got a talking to by doc because I started mushies at 2 weeks rather than 3 weeks. Back on full liquids til Monday! So far I love my sleeve! When I did eat some mushies they went down well, can't wait for moe cottage cheese and scrambled eggs!

Yeah I got the idea from eggface. I made it with 2 scoops Protein and brown cow greek yogurt and a little Water and sugar free Syrup. It still doesn't taste like Ben and Jerry's but it was a super nice change. The texture is really yummy, and it was my full days protein, which I am having a really hard time getting on mushies.

All great with me. Today is day 31. I am down 22 pounds. My BMI was 40 at the start so I am pleased. At my 4 week checkup I was down 18% of my excess body weight. My Dr likes to see 16 to 20% EBW loss so I am a poster child (In my eyes at least). Keep up the updates fellow Sleevers and Sleevettes.

I think my recovery has been a bit slow, and unfortunately so has my weight loss. I can't wait to be at a more normal place. I had to call my doctors office yesterday because I thought I was dehydrated, and she said I had misread my food plan and had skipped a phase so I am back on full liquids. Boo!! I need to do measurements so I can have something more positive to see. My friends and family all say I look differently but the scale has been stuck this week.

Any March 2010 Sleevers out there? I was a May 2007 LAPBANDER but had revision surgery on March 10th and joined your club. The band was pretty cool but we just didnt get along. Any other revisions in March?

Hello mommaof4yoopers,

Good to hear from you. I am doing pretty good, excited about my transformation....The outfit I have on today at work reveals my shape (with less bulge)and people keep say "You look so skinny" well I am really not that skinny but its coming. I am having a problem with oatmeal, it does not process in my system well (even the Water down version). I keep carbs to a minimum, but I skipped mushie food and went straight to soft foods. So the doctor told me to stay on soft food for 3 weeks. In the 3rd week of post-op I had a weight stall, I just stay away from fatty foods as much as possible. But I must say I want some mexican food....lol

Love love love my sleeve! I have more energy than I have had in years! I'm down 25 lbs...unbelieveable. I am tolerating all soft foods just fine, but don't really think about food a lot. Mow I only eat when I'm hungry..what a novel idea!

I kind of feel like the odd ball. Everyone's posts always talk about how good and energetic they are feeling and I am just not there yet! I am happy for those of you who are enjoying your sleeves so much. I can't wait to be there with you. For now I need to just focus on staying hydrated and trying to not sink too deeply into a crummy attitude.

Hello all

Congrats to everyone on doing so well on this journey...I was sleeved with Dr Aceves on March 18th. It will be one month for me tomorrow; 18 pounds down. Lower BMI so I assume that is why I am losing slower. However, I am losing inches like crazy...:thumbup:Have received several nice comments in regards to the weight loss so I certainly can't complain....

I lost 21 lbs in 2 1/2 weeks. I was concerned at such a rapid weight loss, but now I have not lost one lb. in 6 days! So now I am concerned in the other direction. LOL

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
