Any October 11Th Sleevers? How Are You Doing?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Oct. 11 th. I lost 12 lbs the first 10 days and have been stalled ever since! Very frustrated! Isn't it to soon for such a stall? I'm not getting quite the Protein or liquids I should but I'm doing my best and I'm walking and back to work already so I'm never just sitting around. I'm moving all day.

I had surgery on October 10th and find it helps not to weigh everyday. I think that the Protein and liquids are the main reason for the stalling.

Ok thanks. I did not weigh myself since Monday until today. I was hoping for a couple pounds loss. I am going to do more Protein Shakes again. Hopefully that still break my stall.

I was sleeved oct 9th and I'm 19 pounds down which 17 where the first two weeks and after that I really don't see the scale move. I've been walking and I running 2miles nonstop for 3 days and then doing 30 minute on other cardio machines but I'm not happy with the numbers on the scale maybe I don't taken enough calories which I will start writting down to see how many calories I take, I know I do take like 70gm or more of Protein. So I'm like you frustration is getting to me I guess I should just stop weighing myself and just take the weighings at the doctors office:(

I pureed a meatball with some ricotta cheese and a little gravy, that was good. Was just able to eat a very small amount. I also tried pureed chili with Beans. I don't really like beans but when you puree, you can't really taste them and they are a good source of Protein.< /p>

I hear ya, I'mworthit! So sick of drinking my meals! Can't wait for puree-I can start Thursday, 11/1. When can my fellow 10/11ers start puree, if you haven't already? If you have, any tips or suggestions on what tastes best? I was so excited for cream if wheat on full liquid stage, even tho I never liked it-well, still don't like it! What a disappointment! Greek yogurt, without fruit-can't do it any more! Protein Shakes a milky soup-I'm so done!

I was sleeved on the 16th I started some soft foods today. I made egg salad with one egg and it was awesome. I have more for tomorrow since I couldn't eat much but it went down great. I chewed and chewed that's the key. Every dr is different my diet doesn't include puréed. I'm so glad! I'm down 37 lbs, 21 since surgery. Good luck all!

I'm so glad I have my mommy here! She's like, didn't you change from liquid to full liquids on a Tuesday? You should be starting phase 3 puree 2 weeks later, also on Tuesday! I love you, ma! Right, I can move to puree tomorrow, not Thursday! It's a hurricane miracle (I live 1/2 mile from Great South Bay on long Island, NY. (1/2 way between NY city and the Montauk lighthouse)! We may need to evacuate, my sister is supposed to but won't, so my niece and her 3 little ones are with me!)

Stay safe! I'm from FL been through many. We evacuated for Charlie and it turned sooner than expected so we ended being stuck in it. Make sure you have your supplies! You can have no damage but left powerless for days! Again stay safe! Enjoy your puree!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
