How are my Dec 19th sleevers doing?



Recommended Posts

I'm still on full liquid but struggling to drink even that. Haven't found a good Protein I like yet. But I do get my fluids in. I go back to work tomorrow. Not sure I feel about that just yet.

Stats:

-5 pounds pre op

- 15 pounds week one

- 3 pounds week two (time of month)

23 pounds total

How are you guys doing?

I was sleeved 20th .. I have lost 35 total. Since dec 15. I had a 5 day liquid fast. This week has been a struggle for me when I got home from my 2 day hospital stay I am sure I over did it . My best friend and I had surgery on the same day / same doc she is up now running around feeling good .. I am not . I'm sure I tore something internal I hurt when sitting or standing I can't sit for long at all . I'm exhausted. And the last 4 days I have been 256 .. 255..266...255 .. . Idk why it just is . I do best with Protein Drinks in no tolerating food well it seems .. I'm assuming this is the "starter stall " I've been told of . I see my surgeon tomorrow .. Hope he doesn't team me to much . I am not anywhere near going back. Sad cause I thought I would be

I prefer my doctor's scale over mine so I'm going to wait to weigh myself until I go back there. I know I am losing because my clothes are getting very loose. My surgery was December 18th. I returned to work this past Monday. I feel pretty good but am getting tired of drinking Water. I'm adding lemon into it for now. I have started eating solids this past week, but am having a hard time with some foods. I do ok on fish and ground beef, like meatballs, it seems but not chicken or eggs. To get my Protein, I am relying on at least two shakes a day, I like EAS protein as well as OhYeah shakes and protein-enriched hot chocolate.< /p>

I took a leap of faith today. I purged my closet of the largest sized clothing (26). I decided to do it considering the weight I've lost already and that since returning to work I experimented with wearing some blouses that had gotten too tight. It was definitely my first NSV.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
