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.

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.

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!

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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
