October 2014 Sleevers

[Ray9783 1]

Congrats to you both. I'm healed up on the outside now and feeling great. My only problem is I'm over Soup, Protein shakes & Water...lol. I've been having diet jelly and custard as my doctor says its fine. I've lost over 5 kilos in one week so you'll be happy to see that off your scales. Keep up the good work cos it's all worth it. Sleeved 10 days ago.

Fantastic results Ray, that's incredible. You must be feeling great. I was over the shakes pre op let alone face them now. Im missing that crispy sound when biting into something. I sat and watched the fam munching on their meat and veggies in ore tonight, as I slurped down my puréed chicken casserole.....almost brings a tear to my eye thinking about it. Keep us posted on your weight lose, I love hearing people success stories.

Hi ladies, I'm Michelle, Victoria and sleeved on Monday gone. Have had a few testing days with the effects of anaesthetic but feel 100% better each day. Just had my first yoghurt pouch! Woo hoo!

Hi Michelle,

Glad to hear your mending well.

A whole pouch of yogurt isn't much but to a fellow sleever it's a great achievement. I'm exactly 2 weeks and 2 days post Op and I'm feeling pretty good in myself, but missing that crisp sound when you bite something. I think all this purée has just about done my head in...Lol.

Welcome to the club, just take it slow you still have weeks ahead of you before to go back to solids so don't rush it.

Hi all,

I've just found this site and excited to share my story but also to reach out to others for on going support.

I had my sleeve done on 6th Oct 14 by Mr Frydenberg at Epworth in Richmond Vic. It was the best decision I've made.

I've lost 32kg which has been fantastic but the last 2 weeks I've not lost anything.

Not sure why as I haven't changed anything in my diet.

Is there anyone else that this is happening too?

I'm 182cm tall and starting weight was 163kg so I have still a lot of weight to lose.

Would love to hear if others have had a stop in their weight loss? Is it temporary? What can I do to get it moving again?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi Happyjacq,

I have also experienced the weight lose stall, 4 weeks and not a gram, It really is disheartening. I spoke with the dietician about it and she suggested that I wasn't eating enough....no one has ever said that to me before LOL. Low and behold I mixed up my meals a bit, added a few more vegies and salad and hey presto I've lost another 2.5kg in the last 3 weeks even whilst being on a cruise and consuming more than my far share of cocktails!

So try not to be to disheartened your results so far are fantastic. I sometimes have to remind myself that it has only been 3 months and sadly want what's taken me a life time to put on just to magically disappear overnight.

Thanks MooCow for that. I'm seeing my dietician in a couple of weeks - will be good touching base with her.
