For all folks sleeved this week ...

(PS if another thread exists - Ill close this one - couldn't find it)

BTW sleeved 1/16

Feel pretty good - liquid going down too good today

sleeved 1/14. Started puree on Monday. First day was good. Yesterday I had a problem with oatmeal. Lesson learned. I'm down about 17 lbs. But 10 was pre op. sip, sip, sip......

I was sleeved 1/9. I have lost 23 pounds in 2 weeks!!!! Having trouble getting protein and liquids in, but that is getting better! Started purees saturday. Doing really well. I have tolerated everything I have tried except my vitamins. My NUT gave me some powdered vitamins and my sleeve seems to tolerate that better.

welcome to thread!

I am envious as still on liquids and yogurt for another week before eggs/oatmeal etc

but dong well

How many cals do you think and gr Protein you are getting each day

Sleeved January 9th, two weeks, and I've lost 18 lbs. I eat all 60 grams of Protein and all 64 oz Water. I'm very happy. I walked this week half a mile a day and today I went to a full mile.

Sleeved 1/7/13 was 265 this morning was 241 I can eat and drink basically anything I want nothing has bothered my stomach at all was allowed clear liquids on my 2nd day after surgery and nothing has ever come close to bothering my stomach which I think makes me one if the lucky ones. Keep up the good work all!!!!!!!

Sleeved 1/8 with no complications other than fighting to make sure I get all my fluids and meds in. One week until a follow-up with the doc and they advance the diet. I don't have a reliable scale so I'm not sure what I've dropped so far but I'll find out next week.

Hi all - I did make an error as there is an excellent thread already on this:

Sleeved on 1/16 down 12lbs since day of surgery. Feeling good but STRUGGLING with the protein shakes and this loud bubbly noise. The gas is still moving around and gets stuck right in my esophagus which hurts. But other then that I'm on my way!

My doc did not clear me for anything more than walking until I was about 1month.

Hello Family sleeved 1/8 am doing good having a problem getting all my protein in not that I can't keep anything down just forget sometimes I can eat almost anything as long as I chew a million times!!! Ate some raw pepperoni's last night and it came right back up too greasy!!! Weighed 265 day of surgery down to 241 so far so good!!! Even though I can't see it everyone else has noticed!! LOL I'm happy with my decision just gets a lil frustrated with how little I can eat before I'm full but what the heck that was the purpose right!! So each day I can honestly say gets better!!!

I had surgery on 1/14 as well. I was down 8 lbs on surgery morning and as of today am 21 lbs down. I don't seem to have quite as much of a problem with food going down as I do liquid. Have you experienced any pain with liquids? Also, is your diet all sugar free and very low fat?

doin ok. sleeved on 1/16, I think i've lost 13-15 lbs since the 1/14. I'm still on full liquid for another 5 days, then pureed for 2 weeks. I'm having some difficulty getting in enough fluids and definately don't get in enough protein. I can't stand the unflavored protein powder and can't have my preop protein shakes that were really high in protein until pureed stage. I have been drinking boost and ensure high protein since that's what I'm allowed. Hoping i won't do too much damage to my system over these past 2 weeks with only 35 grams of protein a day. I've even thought about replacing some water with just drinking milk to get in some more protein. Other than that, things are looking decent.

My incisions are itchy. And I haven't pooped in 3 days. Otherwise good.
