One week from tomorrow I will be getting my sleeve! Over this past weekend I have gotten NERVOUS and I work in healthcare and see this done all the time! Any other Nov 5 sleevers out there? Are you crazy nervous?

Down 31 since surgery on Nov 5! I have a Atkins shake in the am' date=' Greek yogurt for lunch and a protein shake for dinner! Started puréed foods yesterday![/quote']

Way to go!

Sleeved November 5th ~ 27lbs gone so far ;p

Eating small bites of mostly anything ....

But still doing protein shakes for breakfast and lunch.

Always cold !! Brrrrrrr !

And can't sleep much anymore ... 4-5 hours yet not tired ?

Anyone else experiencing this or am I just going crazy from lack of chocolate .. Haha ;p

27 since surgery? That's great! I'm still at 29 since I started my pre op diet. Tried to advance to purée, but could only eat a couple teaspoons then I was full for hours and it was hard to get calories in. I'm going back to liquids and adding in yogurt and laughing cow cheeses. They are so good. I never knew. It's good to hear from you!

I sent u a message or two not too long ago..(sunshynie)

29 !! That amazing! Can you notice a difference in your clothes? My bras are too big. Haha

Figures that's the first to go !!

It's kinda good that you are still on liquids/purée makes it easier to chose healthy options.

I'm able to eat pretty much everything already ! And a couple choices were bad ones. Lol. The good thing is it can only be a bite or two !

I'm super stuffed after about 2oz of food. Feels like I ate a thanksgiving dinner.

Are you having any side effects like me ? Can't sleep very much ... And shivering cold for most of the day? I used to sweat just doing simple things and always wore short sleeves... I'm wearing layers now lol

I'm down 32 as of this morning. So, 16 since surgery. But I went from a tight 22 to a loose 20. Some of my 18s fit too. I feel like its slow, but all I can do is keep movin on.

I am cold a lot. I was wearing my firry hat and scarf inside at work between patients! One of the docs I work with said WLS can have some affect on the thyroid, so I should have that checked out.

Some days I can't get to sleep at all, and others I sleep a full 8 hours. I only see the scale move so far when I sleep 8 hours. Wish I could sleep 8 every night, but I average 4 or 5.

Are you getting your thyroid checked out ? That's so weird .. We have same effects.

I can't sleep much either. 4-5 hours a nite. Not tired at all in the morning. I have caught up on TV shows I've missed !!

I wore about 5 layers last week to pick up my son from school. I think I hate being cold more than I hated being sweaty...

I'm so sick of protein shakes I've skipped them the last 3 days. Hopefully back on track this week. xo

It's on my to do list. I guess I am over my first stall. Glad it's over! I go back and forth being way cold and feeling normal. I think it's better than sweaty. I started at the gym last week. I like the elliptical, but I noticed my drain incision really hurts after that.

I think my incisions would heal better with steri strips, but any adhesive makes me blister. I thought in the hospital, maybe the tape had latex, but now I am thinking not. Cause even the non latex strips are making me blister. Yuck!

How much are you down since surgery?

How is everyone doing? Right now Ian having a HUGE problem with constipation has anyone had this? We have tried everything!!!

Miralax works try it..

Are your incisions still not fully healed? Is it because you had problem with allergy from the start ? Mine are fully healed ... Barely can tell they r there at all.

Your loss is fantastic so far !! I'm at 30 lbs today. I think mine is slower cause I can eat anything without an issue. Small amounts of anything ...

I've even had bread ! I have an iron stomach though. Haha

Keri... I had same problem. My doctor told me to take lactulose. It's sold behind the pharmacy counter. Works amazing and doesn't bother your stomach. Not a stimulant.

Two o the four are not healed. But I think they would have been if I could have used the steri strips.

Are you 30 since surgery, or 30 since you started pre op diet?

30 lbs since day before surgery. I weighed myself and took a photo just before I left for airport !!

I was trying to upload before and now pic. But it won't take. I can't find ur email in our messages. Maybe I'll send to your phone. Or message me ur email xo
