Where Are My April 2012 Sleevers?

[fannyf 24]

chicken doesn't do well, very heavy. I can only tolerate baked salmon, tilapia and I'm trying flounder tomorrow. I can tolerate Tyson's grilled chicken breast fillet only if I eat it very, very slow and cut it up in tiny bits. I tried eating a baked wing today, but it made me feel too heavy. Ground beef doesn't do very well. So, I'm sticking with baked fish.

Fanny, I can tolerate chicken as long as it is dark meat (more moist). I can also do ground turkey. I have not tried pork yet and beef is way too hard on my sleeve. I do ok with tuna and salmon as well. My "menu" has become very borning, but when I try other things, they just don't sit well and then I don't want to eat at all. I find myself sticking to what I know will be ok. I did mashed potatos the 2nd and 3rd week after surgery and they were fine. Now, I can't stand them and they don't sit well at all. Cottage cheese, cream cheese and Mexican queso fresco all sit well. Yogurt, yuck. I used to love it, but now, it makes me feel yucky. Funny and interesting how much our tastes change with having the sleeve.

Fanny, I can only do dark meat on chicken. I have found some grocery stores carry boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I can't stand lean ground beef though, because of the smell. I grosses me out

Fanny - try putting boneless, skinless chicken in a crockpot with gravy or Soup, or other kind of sauce you like and cook it til it is falling apart. The moistness from the liquid will make all the difference I bet.

Down 31 lbs as of this am! Woottttt! People are starting to notice, even some who don't know I had this procedure are asking "are you losing weight??l" love it!

Just got back back from Mexico, wow so much fun. Eating was a challange, I didn't gain anything but I ate whatever I wanted, only a bite or two and I was full. It was fun buying clothes there and actually having them fit. I love my new life.

What's up everyone?

I know I've been MIA for awhile but I had my reasons. I is wants to update everyone on my status and let you all know thy I'm doing much better and I'm enjoy life to the fullest. Like always if you need any information or have any questions feel free to send me a message. I can honestly say that helping you all has been a blessing in disguise. I know I may reply late sometimes but if there's one thing you can count on is that I WILL reply.

With work and starting up my new business I've been on a tight leash trying to live the good. I hope everyone is doing fine and losing the lbs.

When I first started this thread a couple months ago I never expected it to grow this huge, but I'm glad it did.

Hi everyone. Can you believe it's been 2 months?

Down 45#s as of today.

Still only able to eat about 2 ounces per sitting. Need some suggestions for meals. What do you all eat on any given day?

Thank you!

[Joni 94]

if you haven't, you should sign up at fitness pal. there is a list on this forum with names of those who will be friends with you and you can also send out friend requests. Then you can look at their food diaries and see what they are eating every day. I really love it and get a lot of ideas for menus there. Plus you can log your own food to keep track.

Hi April Sleevers!!

April 24th here!

I'm doing well, lost 43 pounds so far.

I have upped my calories to 800, although I haven't actually ate quite that much! Almost made it there yesterday Since working out so much, I feel a bit run down, so I tried the teeny bit of carbs and more Protein and fluids, it really does work!! I was eating around 500-600 calories daily and it was ok, but keeping it between 600-800 seems to be just right for me.

I make smart choices and do not feel deprived at all, Im just loving the whole eating food again thing!!

If anyone would like to add me as a friend on Myfitnesspal, Im ChargersForever!!

Let's do this April Sleevers, we got this

Thank you! I will look into myfitnesspal. I can't imagine being able to eat 800 calories a day - hoping as time goes by I can eat more as well!
