FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved

[Mrs. Hardwick 12.12.12 10]

I started out at 500-700 calories for a week or so post-op. It's getting easier to get the calories in. Doc wanted me to work up to around 1' date='400 calories. I'm almost there.

The incision is a pain in the a_s. Doc says that it will heal eventually, but it sucks, & I've ruined about 3 shirts.[/quote']

Ooh wow...my calories can't exceed 800...my problem is I eat food...real food. Once a day...

My bad. It's blackened tilapia and it looks delicious. We also got the salmon, in a different flavor.

So:

Breakfast: 1 egg scrambled with a pinch of shredded fiesta cheese

Lunch: 1 reduced fat Colby Jack cheesestick, 2 tbsp SF pudding

Snack: Protein Shake (skim milk + Unjury vanilla = not very excited Firelle)

Supper: Up to 3oz tilapia, ?

Late night snack: Giant bowl of cookie dough ice cream (just kidding)

I'm still loving how NOT hungry I am!!!!!!

I saw in the Kraft Food&Family magazine that there are new flavors of string cheese sticks: pizza, Tomato Basil, BBQ, and Cracked Black Pepper. Anyone tried these yet? I want to pick up the Pizza and Tomato Basil!

The tomato basil is yummy! Jalapeno too

I picked up some Jim Beam Blackened Salmon from the frozen fish section at Walmart that I'm excited to try.

Breakfast today was one egg scrambled with a bit of cheese. Delicious' date=' took me nearly half an hour to eat it, and I'm stuffed. Love this![/quote']

What did your surgeon or nutritionist say? I'm at 500-800 calories a day.

My NUT refuses to answer this question! But I can only average about 500 a day

I was sleeved on Feb 25... I weighed 367 before surgery and now i weigh 346 ... I feel like I'm not doing enough like it should be dropping faster. I still feel and look the same to me as well.. I just got cleared for the gym Wednesday and Ive gone everyday since. Im not so much worried about weight.. I just wanna look different. I thought that losing over 20 pounds i would at least notice some differences.. Im getting bummed out and I know its only like week 3 but im pushing myself cuz I cant wait til my pants dont fit anymore lol

I totally understand! I was sleeved on 2/27...33 lbs down! Has anyone told you that you look different? I bet you do, you just don't see it. I was expecting a bigger change too. I started at 315 and I'm 282 now, I'm also 5'9. How are you doing with hunger? Calorie intake and Water consumption?

Hunger isnt really an issue.. but my Water consumption is.. I probably should be drinking a lot more than i do.. and lately, Especially after the gym, I find myself drinking more and more. But I know i need to work on it lol and well yeah.. but I think he was just saying that at the time, cuz i was like 2 days out from surgery lol

[Karishero 57]

nutritionist didn't really mention it yet.. she acts like everything is privaledge info.. i read that it should be tbetween 600-800 until further out then not over 1200..

I was sleeved 2/20 I'm down 18lbs they weight is coming off slow but that's OK cause I'm melting in inches I dropped 2 dress sizes 18-14. I started working out also could be why weight loss is slow I'm replacing fat with muscle. I already gave a bag of clothes away I will never see size 18 again!
