February 26 sleeve journey



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve on 2/26 I weighed in at 296 at that point. I'm now down to 218 @ 15 weeks out. Have been very successful and diligent only a few times where I had pain after eating. Haven't thrown up once (knock on wood I HATE throwing up). Anyone who's considering this procedure I definitely recommend it! Just make sure you follow what your drs and dietitians tell you to do. I'm open to answer any questions you guys have who are pre or post op.

Thank you ao much! And sure. For exercise I do crossfit 3x a week. as far as my daily menu I have 60-80 grams of Protein a day. Either 1-2 shakes (I use one scoop of isopure) or a shake and Quest protein Peanut Butter cups (I LOVE these they have very little carbs and 10 grams of protein each they're a little dry so try one pack and make sure you like them). lunch is usually 2 pieces of turkey with cheese rolled up with a slice of avocado in them. I make a lot of chili because I can put some vegs in there and get a lot of protein that way. Sometimes for Snacks ill have a piece of dark chocolate or an applesauce. Another thing I have for dinner is some grilled chicken (sometimes I cheat and use the page made frozen ones) and cook it with a little BBQ Sauce and light bleu cheese dressing. I really try to avoid grain and carbs (I try to limit myself to 30 carbs a day) I also try to have 2 tbsp of a flax and chia seed mix along with my Vitamins.< /p>

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
