Sleeved July 10

Highest weight 276

Surgery day. 260

Current weight. 236

Feels like I'm losing slow, but apparently not. I'm on myfitnesspal as kathikennedy. I get about 600-700 calories a day, and today was the first day I have been over 55 grams of Protein. I haven't had any problems after the first couple weeks, when I was extremely tired and nauseas. I love my sleeve!!

I use Georgia's Protein for Balance. It's 1 tablespoon is 13g of protein. Bag is abt $19 for 16oz bag. I live in Illinois so I buy in Woodmans in Kenosha Wisc. I've bought the unflavored protein from powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and that's abt $20 for a 12.7 OZ. and 1 scoop is 21g protein but is abt 4 1/2 tablespoon. I found I got more from the Georgia.

Ultra whey non BGH Protein Isolate.

It's in the purple bag. Meants instant, for ppl on the go and just need to mix manually. The others from my understanding, you need to use a blender.

Website: www.balance-by-georgia.com

Or you can email: gianisch@charter.net

Address on bag:

Body Balance by Georgia, LLC

1514 Dayton Drive

Janesville, WI 53546

Phone: 608-754-2000

I'm on my 3rd bag. I put a tablespoon in my Decaf coffee in am. In my pudding, applesauce everything I can put it in. Just so I can get my 60g of protein daily. And it's tasteless. There are many diff ones. The ones I get is Purple bcuz it's instant. For ppl on the go and will mix easily.

Hope this is helpful :))

I use unjury or Matrix unflavored protein.both are good but need to be mixed in at below 140/130 degrees or it clumps.

July 17 I was sleeved. Have lost about 30 lbs - about 4 Pre-op. it doesn't really show yet. I guess it is because I have 100+ to drop. I went shopping with my daughter last week and it willbe a long time before I am in "normal" clothes. Slow and steady...every day is progress. I keep telling myself how much work it is to drop 30 lbs!

I was sleeved 7/10 and have lost 27# since 2 week preop diet prior. About 7# was lost preop. So, I started at 273 and I'm down to 247.

I am through the liquid and mushy stages and diet now is to consist of (3) 3 oz sizes Protein, (1) 2 oz size Protein, (2) 1/4 c soft veg, and (2) 1/4 c fruit. I'm taking nutrametrix multi, Calcet and Celebrate Calcium chews, (3) 1000 mcg B12 a week, protonix (PPI), Vitamin D 2000 IU. I am getting about 6 hrs of exercise in a week (Water aerobics and Zumba mostly).

I have tried some foods that I shouldn't, like popcorn, which is a total slider. My one buyers remorse so far is not knowing more about sliders. I did alot of research ahead of time. Lots of reading. Although I knew that the sleeve was just a tool and that I would have alot of work to do, I really didn't realize that so many of the foods I overate preop would not necessarily respond to the restriction and slide through. That will be a continuous challenge for me, but ... I don't plan on additional weight loss surgeries, and so I really need to make this work.

I really like the unjury unflavored mixed into anything milky. I was given a can of Nestle Beneprotein at the hospital and liked that too. I think that beneprotein would mix in more easily than the Unjury.< /p>

Blash, I understand how you feel. My NUT told me I could add in crackers next week. I told her that's a bad idea for me for sure! I'm going to try to reinvent my diet without those sliders.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
