Nov. 6th has finally arrived! Nervous but oh so excited to start this new chapter of my life. I declare victory over this in Jesus name! My surgery is today (whoop whoop) @ 7:30 AM. I'm bring sleeved in Jacksonville, FL Military Hospital. I'm down 35 pounds and a few inches too! While the rest of the world will be celebrating the end of the presidential race, I'll be celebrating victory over obesity! I want to thank all for all the support that this group provides. Looking forward to seeing each of you on the loser bench. Gotta go get to the hospital. I'll keep you posted!

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?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
