August Sleeves?!

[peyton072801 0]

I was sleeved on 8/16 and have lost 30 lbs. I pretty much can eat everything and even the bad stuff I get full really fast but hungry again within an hour or two. It could be head hunger but I really feel hungry. Instead of eating three meals a day, I have small meals throughout the day. Hope that's not bad...:-/ I worry because unlike others I can drink a whole Protein shake all at once (10-15min) I am getting in all my Water and Protein with no problems.

Weight loss for me has been slow and hopefully will speed up. On week two I had a 2 week stall and then started to loose again, but very slow. I work out at the gym 4x's a week and have built up to burning around 500 cal....but haven't lost a pound in a week again. Ughhhh!

Up your Protein it scale will move

I did that. Nada still. I'm just going to have to be patient. For me that is the hard part since I wasn't born with the patience gene lol!

Sleeved 8/20 down 53 pounds with preop diet. Stalled almost 2 weeks here but upping Protein and committing to 7 day a week cardio to try to break through.

I was sleeved Aug 22. I lost 23.5 lbs the first 4 weeks, plus 10 lbs pre-op...so 33.5 lbs total. The last couple of weeks the weight loss has slowed. Right now I'm on stage 4 which means all foods except for bread and Pasta, with a concentration on Protein of course. It says I can have 1000-1200 calories at this stage but I'm keeping it around 900-1000 plus walking.

I was sleeved on 8/28 so 4 weeks today. Including my pre-op diet, I am down 28 lbs. Highest weight: 222; DOS: 215.6, and as of yesterday morning: 194.4. I was holding at 198 for a few day, and I guess I broke through over the last 2 days. I knew that stalls are common around 3 weeks, so I didn't freak out. I know that the weight will come off.

I'm on soft foods - eating a lot of tuna, refried Beans, lentil and black bean Soups (pureed), baked ricota. I still drink a Protein shake in the morning and on my commute home, and am still having trouble getting in all of my fluids. I too hover around 40-48 oz per day.

Surgery was 8/29 highest wgt 229 day before surgery 213 and today 202.2. I am losing very slow. I am down from a Sz 24 to 20 or 18. So I am loosing inches. My tops from 3x to 1x. This is only a month so I am being very patient. Protein is about 80 gms I drink 2 shakes a day I snack on Jello or Dannon Carb and sugar control yogurt. lunch or dinner might be ckn or tuna salad . Ground beef w/black Beans and cheese low-fat. Grilled fish, or ckn. If I know I am going to be short on my protein daily goal I will drink some Isopure.< /p>

Mu surgery date was 8/29 as well. I am also a slow loser. I was 264 on the day of surgery and today I am 250.00. I was expecting to lose more than 14 lbs in one month but it's great to know I have some folks who can relate to my situation.

My surgery was August 1st. Have lost over 40 lbs so far. Pre-op weight: 297. DOS: 283. I don't weigh myself often because I am used to avoiding scales. I have my 2-month post-op meeting on October 1st. Been on soft Proteins and looking forward to eating more solid food.< /p>

[charmichelle 15]

We're sleeve twins! I was sleeved on 8/22 too! My pre op weight (2 weeks before surgery) I was 343. As of Wednesday, I'm 307.5. So I'm down 35.5 lbs. I feel like it should be more. I just had my first stall and I'm praying that it won't last! I just started working out again last week. I average between 500-700 calories / day. I shoot for 60-80 grams of protein/ day. I hope I'm doing the right things to get this weight loss show on the road!

[IMSKINNY 160]

My dietian said absolutely no scales! Lol I was doing that also.

I weigh once a week and then I take the battery out of the scale.

In May I was 253 on my first appt w the surgeon.

Surgery date 8/21: 218

This week: 212

Yep, only a 6 pound weight loss since my surgery 5 1/2 weeks ago and I'm ok with it. I've lost many inches. Went from a 24 pants to 18. 3x shirt to 1x or large. I am enjoying this ride and loving life. I'm following my doctors orders and doing the program. The weight will come off when it's good and ready to.

I am a 51 year old woman in menopause. I lost 40 pounds pre-surgery in 3 months! Of course my body has stalled. It's freaked out! It's saying WTH?? I am not releasing more fat!! Lol.

I am a SLOW LOSER and totally ok with it. Want to know why? Two reasons: this fat will NEVER return, unlike my previous weight losses. AND i am learning HOW to eat for life and enjoyment. If I was losing the weight really rapidly I'm not too sure i'd be ok when I got to maintenance. Now I know i will be because i am learning how to eat.

Cheers everyone! Enjoy this wonderful opportunity we've been given!!
