Thought we could all convene here after our Feb sx so we could stay in touch....

I was sleeved on Feb 1 2013' date=' and im only down 7lb... Not happy,i should have picked the bypass to late now....[/quote']

Have you talked with you dr and nut. Why do you think that you are losing slow? Maybe things will pick up soon

Sleeved 2/19 and made it past the first two weeks with virtually no pain other than wicked gas pains. I have moved onto to soft foods but I am having a heck of a time getting in 3 oz of Protein. Who would have thought that? I used to eat my entire meal in 15-20 minutes. Anyone else having a problem getting food down? I am chewing thoroughly but it still takes me forever.

I am personally just tired of food period, i don't even want to eat........that could just be me though, but I do it so I c an live.........lol who would have thought

Sleeved 2/18... 25lb loss including preop, i had my stall in my 2nd week towards the end of the second week.. and just now started losing again.. hope it keeps going down.. can't wait to see the changes...

It looks like everyone is doing awesome their first month. Can you believe we did it? All those fears and sleepless nights worrying gone. I just want to say how proud I am to all the sleevers. You made the decision to change your life and you followed through. Be proud of yourselves!!!!

I did have a major scale victory today. My first life stage goal. Today I am my pre-pregnancy weight of my second son. 10lbs until my next LS goal which is my pre-pregnancy of my 1st.

I feel exactly the same, i dont want to eat at all!! I not sure if its bcuz i dont have alot of options, or just bcuz i dont like food anymore.

My nut said 500 calories. I started a strict diet (soft foods stage). On my work days I am doing 3 shakes a day and eating 2 small high protein meals. So I space it out and over 12 hours I'm having something every 3 hours. I have lost 2# a day while at work. Now when it comes to my off days I will just flip the hours. I am 4 weeks today and I have not hit a stall at all but have sometimes only lost 1# in a week. I don't get frustrated I just know its working off in other places. Today I am down 35# preop, 20# post op op. Average 5# a week not too bad? Well hope all of you are doing well.

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, took me nearly half an hour to eat it, and I'm stuffed. Love this!

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!

Those cheese sticks sound delightful

Had my two week follow up today!!! I'm down 12 lbs since surgery and down 26lbs total! I'm a low BMI'er, so I'm ecstatic about my loss.

I've been given the green light for soft foods, and words cannot express how thankful I am!!! I was sooooo over he liquids only.

No problem.......

I was sleeved on February 27th...I lost 16 lbs in 12 days (post op check up weigh in). I'm really struggling with this. I miss food!

Started pre-op liquid diet 2/16. Sleeved 2/26. Down 40lbs so far. Easily getting my fluids in. Easily getting my protein in. Getting in 1,100-1,400 calories. I love the "full" feeling. Still on the puréed crap. Can't wait until real food starts.

The only problem is 1 leaking incision. Bleeding all the time,

All in all, I'm happy.

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 1,400 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.
