June 2014 Sleevers Check In!



Recommended Posts

Wow! Lots of posting while I did my day sleeping today. Good posts! I am really looking forward to pureed foods next Wednesday. Finally, today when I got up I had lost all the Fluid weight from the hospital plus 4 more! So, I am down 16 pounds since my preop on June 11th. So happy to see the numbers going back down! I am wondering if all the extra Protein and energy it gives us is part of the sleeping issue? Who knows. I am sure this too shall pass. Have a good evening everyone!

I too have "hunger" but as you stated, once I have a few bites, I'm full again...I experimented with ricotta cheese by adding my homemade Tomato sauce...pretended it was lasagna!! It filled me up and was a whole lot better than awful puréed meats. I decided after having black bean Soup for lunch and the ricotta for dinner, that I will concentrate on other types of Proteins during this second phase. Not the same as having my old 4th of July BBQ but I'm very happy that I had this procedure because with each small victory, I feel in total control.

Congratulations!! Way to go!! So happy for you. Besides us, I haven't seen anyone else mention the Fluid weight gain after surgery. ....but it sure did happen and at first it was so scary but thank goodness the scale is moving in the right direction now.

I bet we will all get real creative before te solid food maintainence phase kicks in. I don't like ricotta cheese but I've seen it mentioned a lot.

Hi all! I was sleeved on June 16th. I had my two week weigh in on Tuesday and had lost 23 pounds. I've lost that kind of weight before, so it doesn't feel real to me. I ran into a snag after I came home from the hospital that no one warned me about. I'm a medicated bi polar and after 5 days of hyper mania (feeling over the moon, invincible), I realized my meds weren't being absorbed in my system to do their job. I figured out that i need to take my meds later when i'm eating, but really panicked! What's everyone doing for the 4th?

Happy you've got it all worked out. I'm so happy I was taken off my blood pressure and diabetes medicine before I left the hospital. Wonderful feeling!

What I'm doing for the 4th....being a couch potato! Thinking about what I was doing this time last year......I was in San Antonio with a guy that I love so much. This year.....well, let's just hope it gets better. :(

wittygirl It's real! That much that soon is great! I am taking it easy for the 4th. I am looking forward to continued loss! If I hadn't done this, I am sure I would still be gaining. So happy with the decision. Congrats to all of us for being brave enough to take this big step!

tiffnichole76 That's fantastic that you have already gotten off two meds! So happy for you. My doctor told me to watch the BP closely as it should drop quickly. So, far it has been about the same, but very good this evening! To me, this is as exciting as the weight loss!

glad you where able to figure out your meds.

Me for the 4th just hanging around the house resting. I was going to try and travel back home (4 hours away) but since I don't have all my energy back I figured I would take it easy. I miss being with family like usual but next year will be a different story. So his long weekend (plus my birthday tomorrow) is all about me recovering and getting healthy.

jennyinky Wow 37 pounds in 3-1/2 weeks. That is awesome! Thanks for posting. That is so encouraging!

The first 20 was before surgery on the pre-op. So 17 since. Still, I'm happy!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
