March 2010 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
