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



Recommended Posts

Without thinking I popped a piece of gum in my mouth and started chewing away. I now understand why they say no gum. My pouch feels really bloated. Almost like the feeling of eating to much or not chewing enough before swallowing.

I had surgery on Feb. 20th. Down 36lbs so far. I have progressed to regular diet, but I can only eat a few bites at a time. I'm still having trouble getting enough Protein and liquids. No pain walking about 4 miles a day, fixing to add in Water aerobics.

You am me both! Since surgery I'm only down like 17.5! I lost 26 lbs the month I was on pre-op. I know I should be pleased overall, and I'm trying to keep perspective. I just feel like I should be losing more. But, I'm shrinking and definitely wearing smaller clothes. Hang in there M_mama...our day will come ;)

I've lost about the same amount but I'm thrilled. My clothes fit again. Everyday I go shopping in my own closet. I've never lost this much this consistently. You're doing great!

My surgery is Tuesday 26th @ 8am. Yippeee can't wait to start this next chapter but I've been wondering from my fellow sleeve family that had the procedure last month. What's the 1st areas on your body where you noticed the weight loss.. I keep hearing in your face is that true? I know everyones body is different tho.

My face and then boobs. It seems to move down my body in order.

DOS 2/25. Down 25 lbs since DOS. Stalled the entire fourth week. Barely reaching 600 calories. Not reaching Protein. Going to be more mindful and try to correct this starting tomorrow. I lost 22 lbs per-op. I've gone from a size 28 to a size 20.

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

      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! 😞
