Hello November 6th Sleever. My name is Denise and I too had my sleeve on November 6th. How are you doing so far? I am down 22 lbs. It has been an interesting journey. I am still on soft foods. Some days are good and other days its terrible. It seems as though the toilet is my best friend every couple of days. Especially when something does not agree with me. It will come back up withing minutes. Sometimes I feel like I am doing things right and sometimes I feel like I am not. Any suggestions on menu ideas? Also how much should we be loosing each week?

Hello Felloe November 6th Sleevers. I am getting a little discouraged. I have lost 22 lbs since the surgery, but the last week the weight has been extremely slow and I do not know why. It seems as though I spend more time in the bathroom bringing back up what does not agree than eating. One day something agrees next day it does not. I am on soft foods and I am getting bored with the same diet. Any suggesstion or tips on food choices and something that will move the scale a little bit more. By the way what is the average of weight per week that should be coming off. Thanks and good luck to all of you.

Denise

Hi

Denise your still on soft foods? I am currently on Phase III one week from Phase 4. Currently I still drink my Protein shakes. Breakfast, I will either do a Protein shake, or 1 egg scrambled soft with cheese and a morning star sausage pattie (10gm of protein). I try to get in milk as well since it's 8 gm of protein. If I have to have a snack I do yogurt. lunch I stick to any type of fish, chicken salad, turkey burger etc... dinner same thing but I try to incorporate a veggie like broccoli, green Beans, squash, sweet potato etc..

Good luck on your journey it gets easier and the sooner you start eating regular food the more your sleeve will start to tolerate it and the better you will be. Also the quicker you will start loosing, currently I am doing about 1 to 2lbs a week and i am happy with that.

Good Afternoon. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to me and to encourage me, I really appreciate that. Yes I am still on soft foods. First week was liquids, then two weeks of pureed foods then four weeks of soft foods which ends on December 29th, Hooorah!!!!!!!!! (lol). Also I appreciate the suggesstions of foods and to know that more will be coming off. I too will be satisfied with 1-3 lbs a week. I guess if you dont get that Protein in the weight comes off slower. This is something I have to work on the increase of protein because I have not been comsuming enough. Well I will keep you posted and I pray you and your family have a blessed holiday and you continue being blessed on your weight loss journey. Again thanks

Yes please have an awesome Holiday, and that's what we are here for to support each other. The sooner your off soft foods the better. Protein is what's going to pull your weight off. Protein and your liquids definitely

Attention Nov. 6 sleevers, just wondering how you all are doing? I am down 61lbs. And just got through a 2 month stall. I am slowing down on workouts, from 6x per week to 3-4x per week. I actually feel like I do worse on the days I don't work out! I just changed my protein powder because I felt I was getting hungry more often. Has anyone felt this way?

Hello November 6th Sleevers

It seems like forever since I have been on this sight. So much has happened since my surgery that I do not know where to begin. Well first for all the new November 6th sleevers I hope all is well with you all. As for me its been almost 7 months since the surgery and I am doing quite well. I am down 59 lbs on this weight !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First, its funny I just cant believe how small I have gotten along with not being able to eat so much anymore. I went out to a restaurant not so long ago, and felt so foolish because I could not hardly eat anything. I took more food home in the doggie bag than I ate. Also now that I have had to replace my wardrobe I still find myself going straight to the BIG girls clothes and forget that I don't wear that size anymore. I am now working out and trying to get rid of this flab that I seriously hate. If anyone has any suggestions about how to get rid of flab please feel free to offer the advice. I have noticed that since I have been seriously working out I have not lost anything in 2 weeks don't like that. This is truly truly a serious journey. I go back on Thursday for my 6 month checkup. I do notice the last couple of months I have had terrible gas and indigestion. Also they found a nodule on my thryroid so I have to get that checked on. It seems as though when you do good in one area some other area seems to start acting up. Well anyway I still have 30 more lbs to go. Does anyone have any suggesstions with this semi plateu and how to break it.

I hope everyone is doing well.
