Sorry to hear you are having blood sugar issues. I hope that you ate feeling better really soon. Take care!

I was sleeved on the 25th also. But I'm definitely not talkin 2 miles a day! lol I was told to wait until 2 weeks post-op for anything that intense. To me, if I sweat, it's working out! (Although, it's 100 degrees in Ohio so I guess walking to my car is working out. ) Prior to surgery I was doing about 8-9 miles a week. I hope to get back there soon; I'm just still dealing with serious fatigue and sleepiness.

I only have been walking using my fitbit about 3800 steps is a 1.5 miles so if you wear a pedometer that's how i keep track..... just take more and more steps that's the key

June 4th surgery , went for one month check up yesturday im down 45lbs!!! June has the best sleevers....

When I get low blood sugar I drink a cup of skim milk and it brings it right back quickly. It's liquid and it has enough carbs and it has protein so I get extra protein in.

Sleeved on June 6th. At 9 days out I was down 16.7 pounds (yay). But now at 4 weeks I am only down an additional 10 for a total if 26.7. I guess I had it in my head that it would be more so a little disappointed. I know I can do better on my water intake...any other suggestions to pick it up a little?

hi kiki green dont worry I think you doing great in you weight loss so far i have my surgery on june 11, 2012 an i only los 18 pound so far is fine with me because last year it took me 6 months to loss 20 lbs so im happy with my loss tryed to read i find out a lot reading from my friend in here good luck

Hello all! Sleeved 6-11. Doing much better. Glad to find this group. Down 36 lbs do far.

For all of you that have lost 1 or more pounds a day and are disappointed that you have not lost more weight...ask yourself when the last time was that you ever lost so quickly! I am 4 weeks out and have only lost 10 pounds. However, that is 2 pounds a week, a healthy expectation. Hopefully I will not have any stalls since I have been slow and steady. But seriously, you are making ME concerned with my slow weight loss and I am still on liquids!

Hi! Sleeved June 26 in Melbourne Australia.

I've lost 4 kilos which is about 10 lbs, but I'm not worries about weightloss yet. A well healed body is what I want.

I just started puréed food yesterday with pumpkin soup and roast beef purée (not at the same time)

Still taking 3 resource anyway to make sure I keep the protein up.

Trying harder with water now that I'm on purée.

Glad you are doing well! We now have a facebook group if you want to join us. You can friend me and I can add you to the group!

Is the Facebook group private? Because not everyone on my current Facebook knows that I had the surgery, was just wondering before I look it up.

Yes, it is a private (secret) group. No one can see anything you post in it unless they are a member.

I second that. Post from it were showing up on my wall and I had a mini freak out. I figured out only I could see it. I thought I'd FYI you on that as I've seen others question it.

Hello Fellow Sleevers,

I was sleeved exactly one month ago on June 13th. I was one of the fortunate ones because this whole process has been a breeze. I have lost a total of 50 lbs so far. I lost 25 lbs on my two month pre op diet, and the other 25 lbs since my surgery. I have been very happy with the results. I was lucky because I have not been sick at all. I was weak and tired for the first couple of weeks, but when I started eating foods on week three, I felt normal again. I never did suffer with nausea to speak of. Maybe a little queesy here or there, but it went away very shortly thereafter. I can take my fish oil pills, and can at a whole cup of pinapple and cottage cheese. I have had no problem getting in my protein, and liquids. I love this sleeve. I recommend it for anyone who is desparate to lose weight, and is morbidly obese. It is a radical change, but its worth it to save your life and quality of life. I felt almost no pain after surgery either. May mild cramps for a week or two, off and on. I had pills for that, but only took for the first week.. I honesty could have done without them altogether. I'm so happy to be sleeved!
