Sleeve date 11-4.

Down 33 lbs.

Pre surgery shirt was 4 or 5 xl with size 26-28 jeans

Yesterday I shopped on sale at OLD NAVY! Got a size 20 skinny jeans and a nice black sweater to keep warm. Loving the progress so far. Got the signed letter from my surgeon so I could join the gym ( they wouldn't allow me to join without letter) so I'll be ready for the cardio class on Wednesday! Can't wait to feel things burning on the inside.

@@becweaves I am on normal food stage. I am eating a greek yogurt with a scoop (30gm) of grnepro unflavoref Protein Powder each day and then chicken, turkey, and fish for dinners. I have been making a lot of stirfrys with chicken and then some veggies and been eating that. I have just been focusing on getting my 100gm of Protein a day and my liquids in. I have had a chest cold since Dec 14 so no gym just walkinh for exercise

Sleeved 11/4 and down 42 pounds post surgery. I lost plenty of weight on the pre-op program as well.

No regrets. the only issue I've had was the week 3 stall.

Feeling frustrated, my wgt. Is standing still. I've been working out, getting in more Water. I'm going to focus on Protein this week and see if that makes a difference. I know I made the right choice and I'm not sick at all, the only foods I've tried that don't go well are bread, and rice obviously. And the ever persistent question of how much I've lost now is driving me nuts. I love that people can tell I've lost weight, but I feel like they think I should have lost more by 6 weeks. Or maybe I feel that way.

I was able to switch back to my effexsor EXL and that has helped me.

Hope you are all having a great week so far.

Had my surgery on 11/16. I hit the dreaded stall and it lasted about two weeks! During the stall, things shifted on my body and my size changed but not the scale. Now loss is slow but a little every day. Just keep up the Protein and water! The scale will move again....everyone goes through it :)

Hey guys and gals I'm so happy for everyone and your progress!!!

I was sleeved on November 26th and so far so good! I'm down 28 pounds so far, I've been stuck for 3 weeks without movement on the scale. But I'm hoping soon the scale gods will change the number before I go nuts hahaha

I am on My fitness Pal if you wanna add me! Then we can see each others diaries and get ideas for meals etc

Sheena696 is the name!

I must say I am struggling with Vitamins. .. I forget to take them all the time. I've never been on medication or anything so it's not something I think about. How do you remember to take them?

Also, is anyone FREEZING all the time! I can't seem to keep warm.

Talk soon,

Sheena :-)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
