Hey all SEPTEMBER SLEEVERS !!!!!

Im 28/F Sleeved on 9/17 in chicago Tomorrow will be my 1 month Surgiversary ! Im excited so Far I am able to intake far more liquids then I can eat. so far about 1 11 oz Protein shake my choice is the Atkins mocha latte ( doing the atkins diet BTW)

Im on The Soft foods phase trying a new thing at a time due to me having horrible dumping syndrome to almost everything.

stats: pre-op: 277

Day of Surg: 262

Current wt: 244.8

My weight has currently stalled. or it can move up to 248.3 ish

this is the worst part at this step for me :( I try so hard no to weigh myself daily but im fixated lol...

Overall being able to eat a few normal things lunchmeat. cheese , grapes. alittle lettuce has gotten me out of my little post surgery blues that I was feeling.

No more pain at all. I have ordered a Corset for waist training as this is very common after having surgery ( I had a c-section in 2008)

overall I feel great Im down 2 pants sizes !

only thing I regret with this stall is not taking my measurements and I know my overall body mass has gone down even though the scales says otherwise ! (there is a light at the end of this tunnel ) I am so happy for all of you on here and sharing your stories is so much support!

please keep posting on your journeys as I will do so Also !!!!!

My surgery date was September 17, so tomorrow is my surgiversary, too. So far I've lost 34 pounds. I would NEVER have been able to lose this weight without my sleeve. I couldn't even make it through the 2 week pre op diet without having a moment of weakness here and there. (I lost 10 pounds but gained 2 back during a cookout we had) Now, when I get hungry I eat but only very small amounts. For anyone curious as to what I've been eating. .....I eat the following items but not every day.

Cottage cheese, string cheese, Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt (the caramel apple is to die for, lol), sugar free pudding with Unjury chocolate Protein Powder mixed in, Progresso Light chicken and Cheese Enchilada Soup with Unjury unflavored 1/3 packet Protein powder mixed in, tuna fish, Egg beater Southwestern style egg white omelet with grated cheese , boiled eggs, and occasionally an Atkins bar or treat but usually only about once a week. I never seem to finish anything and usually put it in the fridge for later but end up throwing it out. Appetite is easily curbed with just a few bites....Also, I write everything that I eat down in a notebook along with the time I ate it and the calories, carbs, and protein. That way I can keep track of what I am eating and how many carbs and protein I'm getting. I keep my daily carbs under 20 grams a day. Well, that's about it. Good luck, everybody!

I was sleeved 9/16.

HW 249

SW 229

CW 210.5

I just came out of a 2 week stall. After I got home from the hospital I went from 228 to 237. But I kept tracking and monitoring everything I ate and drank. It is finally starting to come off again.

I also got really sick during this time and could not walk. They have me on prednisone now and the pain is gone. So I have had minimal exercise during this past month.

I am just so happy that I did this and feel blessed. Every day really is a gift!!!

So it sounds like most of us have a stall!

How does everyone here get all their Protein in? There is no way I can do it. I can only eat about 2 to 3 tablespoons of food and then I am full.

I do, if I have four small meals and two Protein drinks. Usually hit about 65g that way. But I can only eat a few bites at a time too. So I understand how hard it is. Good luck to all. ????AllofMe

I was sleeved 9/15/14 @ 0730 in Everett Washington. My surgery was completely painless (minus the air pockets. Gas x fixed those right up.) I was up walking and eating Jello and chicken broth and ice like nobody's business. My surgeon removed my excess stomach through my belly button so it took about a week and a half to heal.

I've done fairly well with the diet eating every 2 hours while awake my schedule is Protein Shake for Breakfast yogurt at 10am with granola. 12(ish) lunch usually chicken or fish on whole wheat crackers. Then at 2 I eat cottage cheese.

I lost 11 pounds in week 1 and 4 pounds in week 2 then only like a pound a week since then. I'm losing inches tho and my husband says not to worry about the scale. Anyone out there have similar experiences?

Starting weight 264

Surgery weight 259

Current weight 238.

Ugh.....

Yes. I'm in a similar boat. ????Slow and steady. I was sleeved 9/16 and have lost 27. But we are doing well and will make it to our goals. Keep on keeping on. -️AllofMe.

I was sleeved 9/16, and I also feel like I am losing slowly...but like you guys said, slow and steady is better :)

Starting weight: 264

Surgery weight: 253

Current weight: 232

I know I shouldn't pay attention much to the scale, and I wish I would have taken my measurements so I could also track inches lost. I've already had one stall on the scale, but my clothes are definitely looser. I'm putting off buying new clothes as long as I can though... don't want to spend a whole lot of money on clothes that I won't be wearing very long.

You guys are doing great!

      Hey everyone!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
