January Sleevers ❄️

[downsizingdiva 459]

Today was my first day on pureed food and I was in heaven I had 1/4 of cream of wheat and a soft scrambled egg. I couldn't even eat it all, but it felt good to feel a little normal and not have a shake or smoothie, or soup! dinner was a pureed chicken leg which wasn't bad at all. If I can make it past these two weeks, then I can do anything! Lawd help me!

what did you add to the chicken to puree it

Me! Me! I'm a January Sleever!

January 12 surgery, home on the 14th. Rough go of it at first, I had a kidney infection. Once that was squared away, I feel like a million bucks!

I really haven't struggled with cravings or any stomach issues. I've been sticking mostly to Protein "shakes" and broth (and lots and lots of water). So far so good. The only real complaint I have is the pill crushing thing. Ugh! It's so gross!

My surgery was 1/15 and I went home on 1/16. Maybe the Kidney issue is common, I kept thing my back pain was from surgery and come to find out I had passed a stone and had an infection. Once that passed I felt so much better, I am having issues with getting in all my Protein I am kinda over the shakes. But I am also feeling really good! ????

Had my surgery 1/13. I am so depressed. I lost 9 lbs in the first 5 days after surgery and nothing since i am on mushy food and can tolerate it well. Getting in my fluids and Protein. I have an itchy rash around my incisions from the glue. They removed it all last Thursday but rash us still there. I feel fine otherwise. I am second guessing this decision. Why am I not losing

It's been one week since I was sleeved and I am shocked how well everything has gone for me. Pain was minimal, and I actually stopped taking any pain meds on day three. Only nausea was twice from strawberry shakes so I can't have those, but everything else goes down well. Been averaging about 80 ounces liquid, 65 grams Protein and about 600 calories per day. And it's paying off. Pre surgery I lost 27lbs in two months, and post surgery it's been 14 lbs in a week. So that's a total of 41lbs already.

I try not to care about flavor or food as anything more than fuel, no speciality shakes or anything like that. Store bought shakes, broth and yogurt is basically everything I've had so far.

It's showing in my face. It's so awesome. Best of luck everyone. I know I'm having a strangely easy and successful time, and some others are struggling. I'm hoping for the best for all of us. The stalls will end, the pain will end, but the compliments will keep coming.

Thank you

I am really sorry for those not losing any weight, but I feel like I'm not alone. 10 pounds lost during first week after surgery. Nothing since...3 weeks later. I'm getting almost 70g Protein a day and eating less than 700-800 calories. To go from eating probably 3000 calories to this little, surely the fat should just be jumping off my body. But for some reason my little fat cells are holding on with their dear precious lives screaming, HECK NO, WE WON'T GO! GaaaahhhH!!!!!
