Hi I wanted to post this so the August ppl can log our success and weight lost so far..

My Surgery date 8/8/2013

highest weight was 220, surgery weight 213, current weight 195

All in all I've lost a total of 25 pounds and so happy I lost 7 pounds on my two week preop than the rest the first week post op.. I was stuck at 196-200 until yesterday and now I have lost another pound and that makes me happy to know that the scale started moving back the right direction again!!

I would live to hear from other August sleevers

Highest weight was taken on surgery day

August 28 weighed 341

One week post op 326

My scale today says 315

Haven't has an easy time of it. Was readmitted to hospital 9 days post OP for nausea heartburn and vomiting. At er realized i was also dehydrated. Spent two nights and over half that time on strictly iv fluids and ice chips. Been home 5 days now and if i can't get past drinking water. I do eat two sf puddings a day to take my yummy crushed needs, but aside from that i am strictly sipping water and can't seem to get more than 24oz a day. And don't even mention anything protein at the moment. Just the thought gives nee the slimeys.

I am 10 days post op and I can't get my Protein in at all.....I'm still on clears so I have to do the shakes and I've tried 5 different kinds/flavors with different ways and they make me sooooo sick..

I had the same issue, I couldnt take anything w/ whey. I was doing French vanilla Slim Fast w/ Silk Almond milk..but it wasnt enough protein content.

The nurse was calling & I got stressed, so I found "EAS" Soy Protein powder @walmart. Its Vanilla but I can use my almond milk. Its 20g/8 oz serv.

& Kellogg's Protein Bars (10g/ bar) #works for me

Today 270lbs eating all soft. Some of you are just starting puree? Not much loss..

So I found a pic of me at my friends bday party in feb. ( when I started this process) and I took a pic of me today. I can see a difference in my upper body and face ... Which means more will follow.

Surgery was 8/12/2013

I was sleeved on 8/23. I find that I can eat anything I try. I had some Totinos pizza rolls last night and today. I have even been eating Bit of Honey candy. I try ti stick to puree, but I seem to be doing OK on soft foods, so I try to alternate them. I do think I am hungry, and have something every 2 hours. It is really hard for me to get in my liquids, but if I have a popsicle or shaved ice sno cone, it really helps. For protein, I have been using New Whey protein shots. I get mine at Walmart. These are 3.5 oz and have 42 g of protien. They are much better to me than any shakes. They taste like really strong, thick Kool Aid drink mix. I also like the Slim Fast High Protein chocolate, but that is 10 oz for 20 g protien. I think now I am in the 3rd week stall!
