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



Recommended Posts

Great idea!

Feeling good....getting my liquids and Protein in! No nausea' date=' no vomiting. Still a bit tired, but hey, it's only been a week. Even had a normal BM (never thought I would be so proud of poo - ha ha).

I've even lost 5 lbs from surgery day to today....yes, 5 lbs in ONE WEEK! It still seems too good to be true. This may be the best thing I have ever done for myself.[/quote']

Hi I am 5 days in and I don't have much pain I just have to atch the way I turn when I lay down. Have you taken any car trips say about a hour long? And if so how was it? Oh and can you please tell me how to put my picture on here lol.

NSV for me today. My daughter had been at a camping trip over the weekend. When I went to pick her up, I was walking toward her from the car and she looked at me and said, "you're getting skinny mom!". I haven't heard those works ever : ) it was really nice. I was 221 pre-surgery. Day of surgery I was 200. I had surgery 2/25 and I am now 173.5. It feels really good.

Omg I got sleeved 7 days ago and at 1st it was fine now I am starting to feel bad off and on. I think it's because I drink more than eat. Any ideas on what I can eat? The nurse at the office that did my surgery said I can eat anything that can be sucked through a straw as long as I don't have to chew?

Thinned out Greek yogurt or thinned out cream of wheat with some Protein powder; pureed soup; pureed, thinned out chili....

Yogurt

Greek is best and plain but any sf will work

Tomato/v8 juice

Ape sauce

I would stay away from Tomato, too much acid. I tried it about a week out and was sorry.

pudding, yogurt, etc are great. I made my own cream of potato Soup and added Protein Powder. I just boiled a potato in chicken broth until super soft. I pureed this, added cheese and milk. I then added the chicken flavored Protein powder and it was yummy! One potato would make about 4 meals for me at that point.

Most Dr's say no straws. I was told to use a straw because of getting too much air through normal sipping. It worked for me, but not everyone.

Can I thin the cream of wheat out with skim milk?

yes, you can use skim milk. This is also good because it gives you Protein. I was also able to eat oatmeal that was thinned. I added some sugar free jelly to give it good flavor

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
