Any APRIL SLEEVERS? Let me know your progress !



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved April 22 and I'm down 32 pounds. Over the last week I've hit a stall and I'm wondering what you all do to move past that. I walk 30 minutes every day, but still not able to get all my daily Protein in. I can't tolerate the shakes, so any advice would be appreciated!

I cannot stand the shakes either. I'm far along enough to eat eggs, tuna, etc. there may be a few Protein Bars out there you can eat. I'd ask your NUT first though.

I have lost about 40 lbs so far.

I was dizzy for a bit and then my Dr decided to try me on no BP meds for a bit and see how that goes.

I know when I am full as I get a tightness in my chest. I did the cottage cheese test and found out that my capacity right now is at 5 oz. No vomiting yet. Although I did have grilled asparagus and that seems to be the only thing right now that made me have an ill feeling.

Sleeved on 4/24. Down 29 lbs since the day of surgery and down 44 including the 2 week pre-op diet. Started at 331 but I am 6 ft 4 in so that might explain why I've lost so much. Off my metformin and blood pressure pill. Couldn't be happier! Best thing I could have done.

Sleeved 4/4. Down 19 lbs. Slow and steady, no stalls yet. But super frustrating to be reading about everyone's big losses. So happy for you, but discouraged that it's not happening like that for me. Have been staying off the boards, it's getting to me...

I know what you mean. I was sleeved 3/26 and lost 22lbs. I feel like I should have lost more. It's getting to me too. E

And I'm doing everything I'm told from surgeon and nut. I hope we stay positive!

Sleeved April 9th, down 31 lbs since surgery and 54 overall since Mar. 2nd.

Only been walking 3 times a week but planning on adding elliptical and some weights next week. The ride has been rather easy surprisingly only after the first 10 days which were somewhat rough. No vomiting to this point but knowing the full point while eating still a challenge. I'm in the soft food stage still doing 1/2 to a cup per meal for two more weeks then...on to the real life foods :). Protein shakes a must! Muscle milk chocolate is this bomb! And an easy way to get a quick 20 g's in a day.

It's getting better folks and now the stares and compliments are starting to become a regular thing. Good luck April sleevers,this summer will be a good one!!!

      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! 😞
