How are Sept 22nd sleevers doing?



Recommended Posts

you talkin' to me? :P Just got back. I'm feeling travel fatigue and slight headache, but it's great to be home. Very minimal discomfort. Thinking about things I'd normally be eating right now and how large a change it's going to be....

I am also a Sept 22nd sleever.

I am doing well, much better than I had expected to be doing. Had a bit of bad first night with some throwing up, but a few pain killers and nausea medication and that settled, and I slept through the night dispite being in the ICU, and other patients having to be resubmitted to surgery and whole heap of things going on. Since then it has been getting better and better. I have minimal bruising and almost none on my stomach. I am starting pureed food today and so far that has gone ok, though eatting such small amounts. Even went to the movies yesterday and enjoyed my Water instead of Snacks.

Hope others are going as well.

I had surgery Thursday morning too. Had to stay an additional night in the hospital due to nausea, but was able to come home Saturday night. Glad that phase is over! Phew!

I've been getting my 64oz of fluids, but not my Protein. Can't stomach the Protein drinks yet...barely could before surgery! lol

Aussiegirl, I'm jealous you are already on pureed. I have another week of liquids, then can move to mushies/pureed.

Wannabee, I had to stay an extra night as well.

Dont be jealous of the puree's, I felt like it started a bit early and went back onto liquids again today just to give myself some more time to recover. Will try some thocker things tommorow I think.

Hope you are recovering well.

having minor bout of nausea today. managing to drink apple juice and chicken broth, but not much else. maybe some Jello later. the thought of any kind of Protein supplement today is revolting. bad headaches woke me up a couple of times last night, but gone by the time i woke up. very tired.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
