Nov Sleevers... What's Your Status?

[Yasmine 109]

Thanks for the replies... I am following the binder that I was given to me at Kaiser... I am 24 days post-op. I average under 350 calories per day... With a minimum of 25-30 grams of Protein. Today I ate the following:

B: 5oz Protein shake

L: 2oz tuna salad

D: 5 Med. Shrimp

Snack: 5 oz Protein Shake

Plus I drank 1-16oz Water bottle... I know that's bad but I don't crave fluids :/

Loss 20 the first 2 weeks... But no weightloss in these last 2 weeks

I month post-op appt will be on Dec 12th... I hope to get some answers then!!!???

Congrats Jessielynn on your loss so far! Are you working out yet? If so what is your workout like? How many calories are you at now?

Yes I am working out, I am kickboxing / circuit training 4 days a week then tring to keep up with 3 kids and working the rest of the time! Lol

I feel like I have a sleeve of steel I can eat about anything just tiny portions, I have about 400 calories a day and about 60 g of protien. I start everyday off with a premiere protien! I'm on my fitness pal if ya wanna friend me;)

Wow, that's a lot of working out. Currently I am able to do 30 min of treadmill and 20 min on the bike. I was advised to do only those two till 2 months. And I can't imagine working yet. I had two big days out of the house and failed my fluids on both days. I ended up with severe headache, lightheadedness, and blurred vision. Lol, not ready for work yet. I have 3 kids too, keeping up with them is enough! I also have been lucky to have a steel sleeve. Nausea but only vomited once. And nothing affects it, I just need to eat slower and less, I think... It just seems after every meal, I feel so full. I am up to 550 calories a day.

I was sleeved on November 19 and I am at 30 pounds lost for good!

[ThinForGood? 13]

Sleeved Nov 12. Having a hard time with the recovery but I'm looking forward and have been losing weight and gaining some energy. I start back to work Monday and am anxious about it because for the last four weeks my days are consumed by Protein, Water, protein, Vitamins, calcium chews, a bite of food, etc.. I'm used to being so busy at work I'm worried I will slip on my routine. (sigh). Here is the progress report:

Starting weight 231

Current weight 206

(not sure how much of that was lost on the pre 3 day liquid diet)

I'm currently stalling like others, but I'm not worried. I'm just going to try to be positive. I can't turn back time and just need to adjust.

I was Sleeved on Nov 16th. I lost 18lbs before surgery and I have lost 25lbs after surgery.....43lbs down!!!! I stalled on my third week but as of today I'm back on the loosing train:-)

[tmartinx4 13]

I was sleeved on the 19th and have lost 26lbs since!! My doctor doesn't push Protein Shakes or require a certain amout of Protein to take in. His recommendations at this stage are lentil Soups, mashed potatoes, refried Beans, greek yogurt, pea soups, ect.....I tried a shredded hard boiled egg but it didn't go over so well. I hoping to try again next week. I tried a couple bites of chicken today and chewed the heck out of it and did fine. Dealing with the head hunger more! It's hard to think your full after a couple bites of something simple. I'm looking forward to trying chicken salad this week to get some more protein in. Love reading everyones progress & menus!!!!

I'm in a stall but it is to be expected. Certain foods do not sit well with me. It's trial and error for me. I'm just trying new things very slowly and I have a backup in case the new food doesn't work. Ad the blander the better I am finding. I cannot eat too much but I can drink more Protein which is nothing new to many of us.

I also returned to work on Thursday. I worked 3 12-hour shifts in a row, today is my first day off. I'm exhausted. But I slept well last night. Got 9 hours in. So I'm ready to walk the beach, get some errands done and get back on the losing train.

Good luck everyone and remember stalls are just a part of the process.

We are the same, I was sleeved 11/6 and I am officially today down 25lbs since surgery. I had a stall in week 3 and I know there will be other stalls but I know in the end this was the best decision for me. I haven't started exercising yet but I will begin this Monday I think it's time good luck!
