JULY 2014 SLEEVERS GROUP



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on the 7th and lost 14lbs but also nothing the last couple days . How long did your doctors tell you guys to wait before exercising ? Trying not to get discouraged . I'm on the purée diet and I just can't do it . liquid tuna chicken and turkey just really turn me off. Anyone have any suggestions ?! I'm still on creams Soups but I have been tending to eat the chunks in the soups and not straining then (I'm bad)

I havnt read all threads but are u adding Protein Powder to ur Water, foods that it can be added in?? I have several scoops a day I add the unflavor to applesauce, soups, my ice tea, I'm making diffused water by adding strawberrys cut up, cucumber, mint leaves an just let it sit all day in fridge then add a teaspoon hee an there...or it in a cup of hot tea or my coffee in mornings. ..everything I can I add Protein. .hope this helps...I stalled about 4 days then all of a sudden it showed I dropped 4 more pds...I also use ketone stix to p on to see if I'm still burning. ..it helps me. ..:)

Hi, my name is Misha, and I was sleeved on July 10, 2014. So far so good but very weak and nauseous from the liquid hemoglobin I have to take. Very weak, too. Strangely, foods taste different and I don't like the taste of most of my previously loved foods. Glad to hear that I am not alone experiencing these symptoms.

I was sleeved on 7/14 and feel pretty good. I will get odd back pain right around my diaphragm area. Anyone know if this is gas or spasms? Would like to take the right meds.

Hi! New to BP. I was sleeved 7/10/14. I have been blessed with having an easy time. My only issue at this point is fatigue. I can easily get 80-90 oz of fluids and the same in grams of Protein in a day. I will not say "only" but I have lost 6 lbs since surgery. I expected a little more but if I were dieting I'd be happy, so I'll take it. I have lost a total of 13 inches so far. Yay! I try to walk 30 minutes a day.

My doctor did tell me not to worry about the weight it will come off the main thing is to get your Protein and take your vitamins......but when you have weight loss surgery its hard not to be concerned with the amount your loosing

I like Unjury chicken broth.. and they delivered within 2-3 days... although after 10 days it is getting old. :)

Hello! I am a 7/14/14 sleever... not loosing anything for the past 4 days stinks.
I will just keep drinking and trying to get in the Protein.< /p>


Yes I'm definitely in the the same place I've been trying to get as much liquids and protein in as possible but of course the protein is horrible and I can't seem to get down a whole bottle of anything with it in it I'm even trying that unflavored protein they gave me in the hospital but I don't kno what to do as far as that's concern

Not sure where you are in eating phase. I am in puréed. One of my favorite go to protein foods is sugar free/fat free instant pudding with two scoops of my vanilla protein powder and 1/4 cup PB2 powder. It s really good and very satisfying.

Lakemama, you can put the unflavored powder in anything to add Protein. I added it to Soup, yogurt, applesauce, and pudding. The one I have seems to make everything but the soup more of a liquid, so I added a tiny bit of skim milk to the soup to make it the right consistency. I could not do my fusion shakes after surgery and they had been fine before. Found I could handle the premade shakes a bit better especially when cold. I just sip them similar to Water over a long time; took it my purse to a movie and keep it in my car when I drive to sip more protein.

Hello! My surgery was 7/7/14. My high weight before beginning. The preop diet was 266, day of surgery was 251, and current weight is 239. All in all it has been pretty good started on my soft easy to chew Proteins like canned meat, Beans and cheese. food doesn't taste the same, I am never hungry and when I eat I am so focused on eating slow, chewing, and not hurting my stomach it has become more of a chore than enjoyment. Also it is hard to get the Protein you need in. Exercising is going great, just surprised I have the energy:)

      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!!
