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

[Mastiff_mama 171]

At day 10 they put me on sift foods... I can eat anything I've tried! I've not tried real dense things like steak, but if big can cut it with a fork, I can eat it. I've been so lucky. I've not vomited one time from eating (i was sick and vomited a few times) or even had any issues other than over full and feeling uncomfortable for a while. I can usually walk around and sit up super straight for a while and it will go away once I can have a few sips 30 mins later. I count myself bless, the down side? I am not losing as fast as some...

Has anyone tried Shelly's ricotta bake? I'm only in puréed and not sure if it will go down easily... Any thoughts? I've heard it's sooo yummy!

I did this week! Great!! Be careful!!! Eat slow!!! Use ramken (spelling) bowls and use just a 1/4 cup I made it for 2 of them!

My PA' date=' who has an exercise physiology background, says no weights until I'm 12 weeks out. I have about 5 more weeks. Can't wait to get back to the weight machines! I am allowed to do organized exercise class now (6 weeks) and the exercise bike, treadmill, etc.[/quote']

I don't go back to the surgeon until mid april. So I woll just stick to my bike and swimming classes

Congrats on your weightloss everyone. I'll be 4 weeks out next Tuesday and down 32lbs as of Wednesday at the dr. I can't believe 32 lbs in 3 weeks. Getting Protein in is a challenge for me to. But I think as my stomach heals more it'll be easier! Keep up the great work guys and gals!

Day 25 post op & I'm down 40 lbs. Woo Hoo

Sleeved 2/6: down 5 pounds pre and 32 post.

I'm having a hard time drinking enough Water during the day as well as getting enough Protein. It's almost like I have an aversion to Proteins right now.

I bought through Groupon something called Protein Shots "Protein to Go." Since I can't finish regular Protein Shakes these seem ideal. They're only 2.5 ounces with 28 grams of protein. So I'm hoping even if they're not tasty I can handle 2 ounces. They've been shipped - hopefully will arrive soon. I'll let you know...

Ok' date=' so I tried to search...couldn't find much on here- but I might be looking in the wrong spot?

Anyone found a good source for recipes for sleevers? Anyone bought any?[/quote']

I use spark, they have lots of high Protein low Cal recipesthat taste very good.

Yep, my story is pretty identical to yours. Sometimes I wish eating wasn't so easy to do! LOL.

Nic job

[Harpo 30]

I'm in Vegas on vacation. Ran 2.5 miles today. First time for that in over 2 years!

Down about 45lbs in about 5 weeks.

Doc even gave me permission to have some wine/Bloody Mary's while I'm here.

Let the games begin!

You are one of the lucky ones lol. I was sleeved on the 25th and still sipping. Anything other than a sip causes discomfort. Do you get gas pains?

Has any one stalled during their four week post period?

[Ejami 18]

Has any one stalled during their four week post period?

Yes..I lost 7 lbs the first week post op and then nothing week 2. , finallyy week three, now, the scaled has moved a few lbs. I will be 4 weeks on tues, so the week is not over yet. I realized I was not even enough calories so my body was in starvation mode. I was eating 500-800 calories and uped it to 1,000 calories and the scale moved. I am in full liquid phase, so shakes, yogurt, cream of wheat, pudding Soup and crackers. Oh an I was constipated and took milk oh magnesium and that helped too. Hope it helps...hang it there:)

Bored with chocolate & vanilla? I sure am!

I just made a chocolate Protein Shake but added a tablespoon of reduced fat Peanut Butter (8 g protein) before I blended it in my Ninja. Oh' date=' yum!!! Can you say Reeses Peanut Butter Cup?

Three weeks on "full liquids" plus 3 more to go! I have got to find some ways to dress these shakes up!

Anyone else have some ideas to change up these chocolate & vanilla Protein Shakes? Has anyone tried a drop or two of peppermint oil? How about instant coffee for a mocha flavor?[/quote']

Go to A world according to egg face. She has tons of great recipes on doctoring up the Protein shakes!!
