Hello fellow 9/4 sleeve sisters. I have lost 17 since surgery, a total of 25 including the week of pre op. Feeling good, no complaints other than I wish I could be one of those 15 lbs in a week people. I have been a yoyo dieter all my life, and never even during the craziest made up diets of my youth did I ever lose close to 15 in a week. Pretty happy with my 25 off though

I was sleeved on 9/11. Started soft foods today. My dinner was Tilapia and steamed zuccini. It was fabulous!! I feel great. Get a little tired after feeding goats or doing "harder" chores like laundry and sweeping. I feel like I burp alot but otherwise doing well. I get my protien in with no problems and am up to 48 ounces of liquid a day. Hitting 64 oz is hard.... I mix my vanilla protien with orange juice in the morning and then I drink a costco premier protien in the afternoon when I take my iron pill. Love my no caffine tea at night and try to get in water and watered down tang during the day. I can't handle anything too sweet. Love the boxed organic tomato soup and my magic bullet SF puddings and creaming things. My incisions are almost healed. I am down 31 pounds since surgery and 61 since pre-op diet. I weigh in on tuesdays and LOVE watching the numbers go down knowing I will never see those numbers again. I occasionaly get a brain craving for a french fry or pizza but for the most part I am doing fine with my broths, soups, jello, yogurt, protiens, cream of wheat and now fish.... My back is hardly sore at all. I had surgery on it in February and felt the doctor did not fix me. He told me he fixed the hernia and the buldge and I would feel better if I lost the weight. Well...61 pounds later and I am thinking in another three weeks I will be able to clean my barn by myself with no problems. I can't wait! Right now I just hang out in the barn..started doing the grain but still can't lift the buckets and the hay...but soon!!!! Love reading everyones posts..Thank you for sharing your experiences!

I am doing good. I had my post op appt today and he said everything looks good.. I really have nothing to complain about...i have had no heartburn' date=' no nausea, no vomiting and no hunger. I was never in pain..just sore and i stopped taking pain meds on Sunday/Monday. I was cleared to start full liquids today thank god because i was crying last night as nothing i was "eating" was satisfying me anymore. So i added greek yogurt and SF pudding today. I am down 9 lbs and a total of 33 with pre-op. I sometimes feel like i am bragging on here but i guess not everyone has issues ....sorry. I am glad that everyone is doing good though now. [/quote']

Not bragging! Inspirational!

I add SF syrups to my shakes. English toffee and caramel are my favorites!

I also add PB2 (powdered peanut butter) to my chocolate shakes. They are the best!!! (caramel in that one)

I also add SF pudding like pistacio or cheesecake. Maybe a little crystal lite.

Mix it up a bit so you get a variety! They are not so bad when you spice them up a bit

Great suggestions!

I was sleeved 9/3. I'm down 2 dress sizes and 25 pounds.

How's everyone doing? I've been stalling and gaining. I've also noticed its getting harder to eat. It gets to the point were I don't even care about food anymore. Drinking is fine. I'm only down 31 lb since 9/5. I've been stuck there give or take a couple lbs for 3 weeks. I'm down 48lb since my highest. I exercise 6 days a week, don't know how I'm getting the energy. I only eat about 600-700 cal a day. My hair is fine so far I was afraid to say that. I hope it doesn't start now. Would love to hear about sleevers on or around my date.

I am down 38 since surg on 9-6. 58 since my highest. I just started to shed hair but I have enough hair for 10 people so I'm not too worried.

I have been approved to eat anything. I always eat my Protein first and get about 800-900 calories a day. Usually 60-70g of protein. Some days I feel hungry. On those days I grab some protein and feel much better.

I exercise 3-4 days a week. My hip has been bothering me. Odd that it would start after losing 50 pounds!

I feel fabulous! So many things are much easier. Loving my sleeve!!!!
