Were you sleeved during the first two weeks of December?



Recommended Posts

Were you sleeved during the first two weeks of December? If so, how are you doing and what are your stats?

Me:

HW - 293

SW - 285

CW - 246

I've lost a lot of inches. Although I didn't measure my clothes tell the story.

Side note: I'm aware of the other December 2013 threads but they're too long for me. There a like 30 new postings when I log in and I can't keep up. :)

HW---245. VSG date - 12/17/13

SW---235. 5ft 5 inche

CW---198

Total weight loss --47 lbs

Tuesday I get to eat anything except for steak and raw veggies! Yeahhhhh

Went from size 20 to 16.

When I first had the surgery I wasn't sure I would make it through the first 6 weeks. Sick of Protein shakes and soft foods. 47 lbs later the joy if wearing clothes that are too big is unbelievable. I am so glad I made the decision. I really wish I did it a long time ago.

My goal us to get down to 135lbs. I can start exercising next week which should help a lot!

Good job! My scale was stuck for a couple of weeks as well but I just kept to the program. You/we know that the weight will come off and the body is just doing some readjusting. :)

That is awesome Odessallen!!! I'm still doing a Protein shake in the morning. I think having a variety of Protein Shakes helps so I won't get bored...cookies and cream one day and vanilla cheesecake the next! ;)

I haven't really been interested in eating which is a HUGE plus! I did have some grilled salmon this week that was heavenly!!! Basically just sticking to Soups (egg drop has been my fave) with a scoop on unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder and lean Protein. I was a volume eater before surgery and only being able to have 5-8 bites is good but, I no longer look forward to eating. I know that's a good thing. :D:angry::mellow::D

I was sleeved on Dec 9th.

HW 234

SW 214

CW 196.3

I was a major volume eater before so this has and is a major "head" adjustment. I incredibly excited about my weight loss so far, it just scares me that it'll stop or that I will regain once my body adjusts to my sleeve.

My goal is 140.

Congratulations on your weight loss Shellvsg! I totally understand the fear of a regain...I think many may have this fear from years of dieting and failing. You'll reach your goal before you know it AND keep it off!

You're doing good Gettingsexyback! Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I'll do my best to help you along in your journey. :)

I'm a creature of habit and my meals typically look like this:

B: Premier Protein shake

L: Egg drop Soup with a scoop of unjury Protein Powder

D: 2 ounces of salmon or tilapia, 2 tablespoons of green veggies ( I'm never able to finish all of it)

snack - Ostrim Jerky or more egg drop Soup

I'm getting about 60 ounces of Water a day at this point but I'm trying to increase that amount. My bariatrician is happy with the amount of Water I'm getting at 2 months post op.

I had a stall for 2-3 weeks too ( not sure how long...stopped focusing on the days) but, you/we know that it's only temporary and the scale will move again!

      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!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
