Nov Sleevers... What's Your Status?

I'm not allowed to try rice for 9 months which sucks because I LOVE sushi!! Steak I could puree at 3 weeks (never did - ew) and then eat at 6 weeks. I have eaten it frequently and it goes down better than chicken and fish! Just dont cook it well done. I hear it's only lap banders that have probs with steak.

I love sushi too!!! Can't wait to be able to eat it, just haven't ventured out yet. I am able to eat way more than when I first started. I just make sure I eat Protein first

That's odd I don't remember being told to avoid rice. I've had rice with no problems but try to avoid it until I lose the rest of my weight because of the carbs/calories. I haven't had a steak yet, but have eaten meat with no problem as long as it's tender. I just can't seem to hold much. Strange how I can eat a lot of somethings but only a small amount of others.

Hello November skeevers! I lost Seventy (70) since Dec 10th. I knew it would be rough going but ..... really nothing tastes as good as thinner feels. I am still a burly bear I still have a few pounds to take off, but it dropping at a steady pace. THE GOOD: I am wear now wearing the smallest pair of jeans I had stored in the closet from six years ago. My testosterone has surged, ( no further comment needed) and I feel like I am Twenty again. THE BAD: I still hurt, slime on occasion and still can't get all the protien I need to eat in . THE UGLY : my hair started to fall out, so I am now sporting a shaved head. I scare me in the mirror these days.

Hi fellow sleevers!

Checking in again! I have lost 69lbs as of this morning. I was sleeved 11/13. My HW was 248.8 (start of pre-op)- CW is 179. I've gone from wearing a TIGHT 20 to a loose non stretchy 12. Tops I've gone from XXL to a Medium! Things have gone well- no real issues eating anything and I'm happy with my results.

Before

This morning- pardon the dirty counter lol

I had my 3 month f/u yesterday (it has been 4 months since surgery 11/1). I've only lost 38 so I am one of the slow losers. I have been in a fluctuating stall for a few weeks now. My dr said I can do a 2 day liquid diet to kick start my weightloss again. He said it will shock my body and get me going. He also said that I must walk everyday. It doesn't matter how fast' date=' just to do a mile everyday. He said that is the key to keep the weightloss going. Overall he said I'm doing great.

Sw 220

Today 183

From size 18 to 12/14

BMI from 43 to 35 in 4 months

I'm happy with my results and my increased energy. And I am loving to shop now. :)

When I went for my 3 month, I had lost

45 lbs. I was pretty bummed but my NP said I was doing great, above average. She said because I started at a lower weight, I wouldnt loose as fast as say someone who was heavier than me. Also, she told me I wasn't having enough calories... I was on a two week stall. I was exercising intense, 5 days a week for an hour and consuming 550 calories. I upped my calories and Water, and added another Protein Shake every day. My stall passed and I am 4 months out and down 55 lbs. Keep up the great work, the stalls will come and go!

Haven't updated in a while. I had surgery on 11/20, my weight day of surgery was 315. Today I weighed in at 227. I'm sitting at 88lbs lost since surgery. Pretty stoked. I walk, want to start couch to 5k soon, do yoga and have been getting my butt kicked at Crossfit for a few weeks now. Unfortunately I have to take a short break from all that...today I am having my gallbladder out. It's been giving me problems for over a month now. So taking it out should relieve me of the pain, nausea and vomiting.

But great losses everyone! Keep up the great work!!!!!

My surgery date is Nov. 14th. I've lost total 82lbs. I keep running into stalls. Just recently came off dairy and breads. ( at least for a while) but that helped my stall. I still struggle getting all my Water in.

My surgery was 11/8 and this last month I've hit a stall, I think I've lost 1 or 2 lbs. Hopefully the scale will start moving again :) I did notice clothes fitting different ( looser) so my body is still doing its thing :)

Surgery 11/13 I started at 248 I'm now at 176. I feel great and it's amazing what I can do now that I know I wouldn't have been able to 5 months ago! I've gone from a tight size 20 and 1x top to a size 12 and a medium top.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
