I'm curious, how many calories are you Jan 13 sleevers eating a day now? I'm up to between 800 and 900, which seems like TOO much. Is it?

MJM, congrats on a period on your own! Like you said, in God's timing for conception.

Hello Jane. My NUT said around 800 calories right now. I don't think I'm getting that much, but I aim for the 70-80 grams of Protein. Some days I still have to have 2 Protein Shakes to get it all in, and I'm not eating anything but protein at my meals.

I wonder how everyone else is faring!!!????

Hi everyone!

I doubt I'm getting around 800-900 calories a day but I do get my Protein in. I have to have at least 1 shake a day... And maybe a Protein Bar. It seems like I'm not eating a lot again. I just started back walking and bought some good shoes. Hopefully my weight loss (pounds) starts back falling off.

I bought some Atkins meals and they're great! They're small portions, I can eat a whole meal and get about 15-25g of protein from it. And they're about 300 calories! Kind of expensive though but I can just take those for lunch at work!

Hi Sierra, I bought some Atkins meals, too. Pretty good stuff! I like the turkey medallion one, but wish the sauce wasn't all over the green Beans. The chili con carne is good when I want something spicy.

Where is everyone?

Things are going well for me, and I hope all you others are doing great!

Hi everybody!

I have had a bad eating weekend! I still have no self control...well I do have better self control than before but not as good as I should

You know those mini bite size twix snickers an Reese? We have them at work and for the past 4 days I've had 5 a day! I'm so frustrated with myself. U have nothing at home which is wonderful. But when I get real bust at work I'll grab a mini bite!.

I lost 3 pounds last week and in thinking about deleting the scale this week.

Glad Evernote is doing well!

I'm on my 12th wk and still can't take more than 3 or 4 bites of anything with substance. Like chili or tuna etc. So i stay with Protein Shakes and prueed foods. Anyone having trouble with solids. I get about 800 cals a day. Have lost 40 pounds in these 12 wks. Getting enough Water in is a problem. Hope your all doing well. Thanks for listening!

I need a knee replacement, so the only exercise I can really do is in the pool. It's still a bit brisk out there for me here in Florida, even though the pool is heated. Since I can't go until evening, it starts cooling off. It should warm up soon.

I'm not sleeping well at all and am exhausted all the time. Is anyone else having sleep issues?

I have walking since day 2 of my surgery. I start slow for 15 min and worked my way up to 2 miles a day. For a month I was doing a zumba class and 2 circuit classes a week along with the walking. It stalled my loss, I was told by my doctor it was too much, so I stopped as of last week and my loss have started already. I am still walking but no classesfor now. My advice is to start slow work your way up but not too much.

Thanks everyone. I'm working my way up too! I went to the doctor yesterday- I lost 11 more lbs in 4 weeks! I'm really happy with how things have been. Don't have a lot of endurance but it'll come in time I'm sure! :-)

My goal is to reach 50 lbs down by 16 weeks!

How's everyone else doing?

Hi Everyone....Had my Sleeve Surgery on Jan 13, 2014....

SW 260 lbs

CW 195 lbs

I'm in my 4th week of the C25K workout, (Couch to 5K). It's super hard but I'm not giving up. I've been stuck at my current weight for weeks. I've tried increasing my calories, but I'm only able to get in about 1000 per day. Any advise?

Thanks-Mel

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
