Hey folks. I was looking to set up a thread for July 2014 sleevers. I believe the other threads were originally back in 2013.

I just had my surgery on July 2. I'm SO glad I did this. My breaking point was being diagnosed with high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and a host of other problems. I put on another 30 pounds from October to February of this year. I was a good 185 and quit smoking. I ballooned up to 305. I'm self pay and I got to 278 during my pre-surgery.

Since the surgery, I don't think I've been hungry, but I'm still dealing with the healing process. My first postop is Thursday. My only complaint is the low energy level. I knew it was coming, but wow.

I'd like to hear from those who started their life change this month. I am also hoping this can be a thread we can keep tabs on each other, as well as provide motivation when we need it

July 23rd for me.

You can puree chicken and it tastes great and goes down a little better but that's a lot of trouble and who wants to go back to that stage?

So far I have not gotten tired of any of the foods I eat on a daily basis. Chicken and turkey breast, eggs, cottage cheese. I eat a lot of other stuff too but not every day like I do these.

My surgeon and my primary are both really good about keeping an eye on my progress. My surgeon encourages me to contact him any time day or night if I have a problem.

I encourage you to contact your doctor with this problem just in case it is something serious. Get some peace of mind and stay on top of this problem.

Hi guys..same here...everything in blender..feeling much better on clear soups or cream soups. Try it..all the best...

It's hard to go from eating regular food to going back to blended. I guess I'll have to try again because I don't know know why I am having discomfort when eating.

I know it so well but I hate getting sick so I better blend the food. I cannot wait to be able to chew again. I noticed losing more weight when I go back to liquids. I am also on 4months old baby food..soon I will be 6 months..lol

if you still have your gallbladder and you're getting sick when you eat, please get that checked. Hope you feel better soon.

Today is my 4 months anniversary woohoo!

I also had a check up with my surgeon, he was satisfied with overall results.

I've lost total 69.5 lbs and 51.48 lbs since surgery.

He prescribed Calcium, zinc and Vitamin B5 for my hair because I lost a lot!!!! He said it will grow back (I hope so).

Other than that I'll have to continue on Omeprazole for 3 months, then do the blood work again.

I'll be on a trip tomorrow and quite afraid to be freezing cold on the plane because get cold so easily lately.

And I told him that I'm worried that I eat so little lately he just said I have to eat 4 times a day even I'm not hungry. My blood work was good except for colesterol that a bit high but he said it's the body that produces the fat itself not because of what I eat because I haven't been eating a lot to cause colesteral. If it's not improved next time he will prescribe me something to get it controled.

That's pretty much it for the 4 months report :-) happy losing weight all July sleevers!!!

Now I'm more than thrilled that my weight is under 154 lbs, even though I'm floating on another plateau but I'm not discouraged at all.

I actually posted my before & after picture in the other post but I want to share with you guys here too.

I had RNY on July 22nd 2014. I'm down 71 pounds (pre op liquid diet included). HW: 330 SW: 310 CW: 259. I feel like a new person already! My energy is through the roof and I feel so much more motivated to be healthy and active. I started a blog and a YouTube channel months ago if any of you are interested! It's all about the pre op and post op experiences I've had. There are recipes on there too!
