Come in all Nov sleevers and share your progress, updates, whatever! I was sleeved on Nov 4th. My ups are my pain only lasted a few days. Im able to eat and drink just fine. Sometimes I feel I can eat a lil too much. My downs at this point are I have lost 14 pounds since surgery. So share how its been for you so far!

Ok, so I made my scrambled egg this morning! Just cooking it my mouth was watering. I was so exciting, I sat down with my bowl and got a whole 3 nibbles in before I was full! I was like, no!! It is real food! But I could tell I shouldn't go further, so I stopped at a little over 1/4 egg. But I reheated it and had another 1/4 egg for lunch. Hahaha! I wasn't going to let my first egg go to waste.

Today was my first day "at work" too. I am very lucky I get to work from home this week. But sitting up the full 8 hours was much harder than expected. I am going to have to figure out something else to get more comfortable, cuz I am dreading tomorrow. It was so nice to kind of feel normal again....well, until I opened my email and saw that I had 1500+ unread emails! Gotta love it!

I hope everyone else is starting to feel a little more "normal" too.

Oh and my scale is still on strike and refuses to budge! I tried everything short of standing on my head, but it refuses to be nice. Hopefully we can start getting along a little better soon!

i had surgery on the 18th. I've had hardly any problems. I had a little gas for a couple of days but not much pain. My stomach wa a little sore for a few days but I had one of those belly band things that keep everything from moving around. That helped a lot. I had no problems with drinking water. I lost 10 pounds the 1st week and now a week and a half later I have lost nothing else. I finally had throw the scale up in the closet so I would quit weighing myself every day. I've read that these little stalls are normal and it's just your body trying to adjust to everything. Its still extremely frustrating. This week started my purees and i'm living on chicken salad and cottage cheese. I haven't been hungry at all which is great. So eat because I have too...lol Can I lose a few pounds already? jeez...anyone else have this problem?

Yup alot of us have gone through it. I was stalled for 3 weeks out of 4 and just started to lose weight again. It will start up again. Just be patient.

Tomorrow is my week 3 weigh in day (I haven't weighed in a week).

Praying to the Weight Loss Gods!!!!!! :-)

Sleeved on November 21st. Down about 12 lbs. total pre-op weight. My digital scale fluctuates, so Im thinking about buying an old-fashioned one?? Not too much weight-loss but I know it's gonna happen because I eat about 10% or less of what I used to. Im supposed to be on full-liquids right now, but I've been eating whatever, just chewing well & very small amounts.

Hi! I was sleeved on Nov 21. Down about 14lbs sine surgery. I'm feeling really good and have handled everything good so far. Any other 21rst-ears looking forward to that first egg tomorrow???

Sleeved 11-4 down 18 lbs. Stall for 8 days now. Seems like I loose a lb or two the stall for a week or so. This really sucks. On regular food now as long as its mush before I swallow

I was sleeved on November 20, and I had pureed egg while still in the hospital! My surgeon has us eating before discharge. I'm now on the soft diet, anything I can cut with a fork.

Yup - hit the dreaded 3 week stall. It sucks.

Ugh.

I'm 4wks out tomorrow and down 18 lbs. Guess I'm a slow looser. So far so good. Back at work for a week and can tell. Back hurts alot. Gotta get used to pushing a med cart again!

I am 4 weeks out as well my back is killing me.

Surgery was on Nov. 29. I'm feeling pretty good. Having some nausea troubles. Can't tolerate my shakes at all. Feeling fatigued, but hanging in there! Glad to be on the other side!!

Is anyone else having persistent gas pain? It's lodged up under my left collar bone and I can't seem to get rid of it. Really uncomfortable.

And I'm so sick of protein shakes I could die. Honestly, I never thought I'd be that way, but most everything I'm eating is kinda sweet and it's getting disgusting. Can't wait for that egg! Might try egg drop soup tomorrow....kinda liquidy but tasty and real food.

I had surgery 11/26.

Walmart has whey protein shots that have 42g of protein per 3.8 oz. They're really sweet and tart but I can tolerate them. The shakes gag me now!
