18th here and so tired all the time! I hope this passes:-( I'm working on my fluid and protein goals but its tough.

Down 16 Pds this week

Im hoping u feel better!!! Hydrate as much as possible!! Ive brain washed myself, lbs. I wake up thinking "Must.... Drink..... Water...."

I wad sleeved yesterday 10/26. Still in the hospital suite as I type. Drinking was hard this morning but already easier.

Sleeved 10/18 here, I feel great. I can drink like I used to, and I have no problem eating pureed stuff. I had chili today with melted reduced fat cheese and a dollop of FF greek yogurt, it was sooo delish!

I have so much energy, I cant wait to go back to work on Monday and start living again..

This certainly is the best thing I have ever done in my life!!!

I was sleeved the 19th. So far I have lost 20 pounds. My family has already begun complainting on my shrinking body. I feel great but I am still on liquids until 11/5... most nights I dream of food. I can't wait for the next stage. I am going back to work on Monday i am interested to see how I feel it's a desk job not to taxing but I will miss my afternoon nap.

I was sleeved on 10/17 feel great no pain at all still trying to get in all the liquids plus protein. My goal for tomorrow is to get those liquids in and focus on that to see how much I am actually drinking everyday. I start Purée food Monday and really need some recipes on what to eat. I am down 25lbs so far taking everything one day at a time looking forward to the day when my clothes fall off and I am forced to buy new ones. Refuse to shop now I have noticed clothes are fitting better and my energy is great.

Thanks I found these also in the store now getting things but it crazy in here b/c of this storm

Hi!! I was sleeved 10/17, I feel pretty good and am down 22lbs so far! Still struggling to get all the protein and water down, but got a few things to try from the nutritionist, so today is a new day to do better. The one thing that surprised me is missing food so much! I didn't realized that part of my issues with food. The normalcy of chewing will be most welcomed! lol Thanks for the recipes, looking forward to trying those.

I agree with you it's so hard to get in all the liquids and protein well I have decided today my task is to get the min. amount of protein and liquids in. I'm so ready to get this weight off I need to lose more than 25lbs I am so will all my Oct 17th sleeve Sisters and Brothers we can and will do this.

I'm right there with you Postal. I am counting down the days (6) until I can start on soft foods. The liquids seem to have gotten easier as time goes on but I still struggle with the head hunger. It also really doesn't feel like hunger but just a missing feeling. I have been doing 2 protein shakes while at work and coming home to some type of high protein soup. Thankfully I found Premier Protein at the suggestion of another member and it has really seen me through. All of the stuff I got in preparation hasn't worked out. I also got a lot of sugar free jello and I have no desire to eat it.

I have lost 23lbs since surgery. I've kinda stalled out over the last 3 or so days. I lost the majority of the weight the first week. I'm hoping it picks back up soon. I know that going from 2400 calories a day to 600 is going to produce weight loss. I just need my body to get on board.
