January Newbies ! Progress ?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on January 5th. I have lost 32 pounds post op so if I combine that with my 10 pound pre op loss I'm at 42 pounds gone.

That is so fantastic! I was sleeved jan 9 and have lost 15lbs post op for a total of 55 lbs. weight seems to be coming off slower now that pre surg but as long as it goes, I'm trying not to stress. Just means I will be able to wear my clothes a little longer in between runs to the goodwill.

Sleeved on 1/16 and already down ~10 lbs. Like everyone else I am ready to eat something besides Protein Drinks and broth but I am a little afraid of how food will feel sitting in my new stomach- I hope I still enjoy eating. Also' date=' has anybody had intense hunger pains? I get so hungry and my hunger pains can get painful[/quote']

Yes I was sleeved on 1/23 and get hunger pains like crazy! I am getting 43g of Protein, all my liquids and my aloted soft foods ( 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt and 2 Tablespoons of strained cream soup). But I will still feel hungry. Hoping that goes away soon.

Date of surgery 1/16- exactly two weeks ago.

Weight 200, date of Surgery 190, Current 178.

The weight loss is slow and steady compared to fast losers, but not complaining! So ecstatic coz I don't ever remembering losing this much at all! It will just get better down the road, if only I can finish 64oz of fluids (work in progress).

the inches are coming off -- super happy! :)

I was sleeved on Jan 21st. Weight day of surgery was 232 and this morning I'm at 225, only 7 pounds lost. Wish I had bigger numbers like all of you. Maybe I'm not getting in enough Protein or Water.< /p>

You look great!! Congrats on the weight loss so far.

Are you still struggling to get in 64oz a day? I am not even back to solids yet (1/24/13) surgery date and I can't get close it 64 Oz a day of all intake.

Thanks! I am still working on getting 64oz. I am still on stage II foods. My staple food is greek yogurt mixed with cottage cheese, Soups, broth, and Isopure Zero Carb.

If I eat 2oz, then I really have to wait to drink for 30 mins, otherwise I can feel pressure going down my stomach. Working on increasing my Fluid intake, and it's slow but getting better. If i sip too much it feels weird, so it's a learning process coz I sometimes forget and gulp too much and then i feel sick. I am back to work so it's even more challenging, but I really try to make a conscious effort to drink. Two weeks ago, I could only drink 1oz/hr, but as you heal and the swelling goes down, IT WILL GET better...and I was in the same boat as you, and many people posted they are father out than us and it's a challenge too for many. Just keep trying :) HAve a speedy recovery!

So I'm out almost 7 days. My dr had me on full Protein 2 weeks before. Starting day of surgery (after of course) I was in pure liquids. Soup, Popsicles and Water. 3 days later I was bring my protein back in.

I can't even get a full 8 oz shake in for the whole day and my water. It's crazy and when I'm so thirsty I have tried drinking water like before. That's a joke!!

I have also noticed if I sip to fast I get a really weird feeling in my stomach. It's not a full sensation but its weird.

I've heard a lot of people talk about Isopure. What is this?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
