I was sleeved on January 14. Starting weight was 277 and weight today is 255. I don't understand what all the "confessions" are about? Why is it not okay to eat a snickers every once in a while or have the fish from McDonald's? I've eaten whatever I want and still lose a pound every day. I'm so confused about why everyone thinks you can NEVER have sugar, caffeine, carbs, or fat again? That's probably why everyone's hair is falling out??! Eat a healthy diet but be realistic! If you want one piece of cheesecake (which u prob can't eat every bite of anyways) then eat one!

I don't understand. You just got sleeved and you are already eating whatever you want? As for the restrictions, some people get dumping when eating sugar plus just like any weight loss effort it's counter productive. The caffeine is a gastric irritant so when your stomach is healing it's even more important to not chance getting an ulcer. As for the fat and carbs, again it's counter productive. It's up to the individual what sort of weight loss you're looking for and how fast you want to lose. As for hair falling out that's more to do with not enough Protein than anything else. We are all aware the sleeve is a tool and we can choose to succeed or fail.

I was sleeved January 5th . Starting weight 201 and down to 185 any other peeps proud of their progress?

I was sleeved on Jan 7 I weighed 203 and weigh 189 babbbyyy lol but when I got out of surgery I weighed 211 from gas and Water I guess so it took a week just to get down to my 203! I'm feeling great! Eating purée foods Soups, love Greek yogurt and honey or jelly.. I can't do Protein Shakes I get very bloated!!! So I do cottage cheese, carnation and get it in that way!

I haven't lost any weight in like a week is that normal?

Day 10 post op. down 24 since day after surgery which is pretty cool (some was bloat but a lot fat). Also had first post op yesterday. Interesting how each doc is different. Or diet for first 2 weeks is liquid and like yogurt and cottage cheese/fat free refried beans/soups. Week 3 and 4 we add like eggs and like strained baby food.< /p>

Also what is interesting is I asked how many grams of Protein to focus on. For this clinic, they stated for first month done concern yourself. They want 2 Protein Shakes for meals in the day but said after month 1 we will focus on protein grams.

How are others doing?

My nutritionist warned me about weighing every day. She recommends once weekly, and to be aware of hormonal fluctuations and not them get me down. Ladies, estrogen is stored in fat tissues. As the fat breaks down, the estrogen is released. I'm having the hardest time with mood swings (now 3 weeks out.)
