A day in the life of a 4-5 month sleever



Recommended Posts

Hi All!!!!

Just checkin in, thought it would be fun to see what a Day in the life of a 4 month sleever looks like!!!

Breakfast for me is 6 ounces of yogurt. I eat the Fage yogurt with the fruit on the side. It is a 190 calories and 19 grams of carbs. That might be too many carbs for some people.

I then fill up 3 -20 ounce bottles of Water and put 1/4 blueberries/strawberries/pineapple in the water.

lunch is 3 ounces of chicken breast, 1 oz veggie with cheese

snack is yogurt or cheese

Another 20 ounce water

dinner is same as lunch

After dinner ill have 2 more 20 ounces of fruit infused water

I just had a hysterectomy so I'm not doing any "planned" activity. Although I do go up and down our stairs throughout the day. Also, whenever I go to the store I try to park out in the parking lot far away.

I dont wait 30 minutes between food and drink, I need to work on that. I feel like I could be doing more so I welcome any suggestions.

Water is 80-100 oz

Calories 950-1000

Carbos under 45

Vitamins are: 1 multi, 2 calcium chews, 1 fish oil.

Liver enzymes were above normal. I stopped tylenol now their normal. I am getting major headaces which I hope are just allergies...everything else has been great.

Any feedback? Id love to hear what your doing?

Hi there,

I am 4 months out also. For me the hardest thing is getting all the Water in. It is a real struggle. For breakfast I usually have an egg or a Protein shake if I am in a hurry. Mid morning I have the Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt. lunch is usually cheese, afternoon snack is a Protein Bar or nuts, and dinner is a Protein and vegetable.

I am doing really well and although the weight loss has slowed, it is still trending down. All the post-op labs were fine so no worries there.

What has helped me the most I think is developing an exercise routine. I go to the gym twice a week and can feel the difference it makes.

Water ranges from 30-70 oz

Protein about 60-80 Gm

I don't count carbs or fat though I am guessing calories are about 900

Vitamins- 1 children's chewable and 1 Calcium chew

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
