Sleeved 5/19 in Baton Rouge and have no complaints. Went out to eat tonight for the first time. My husband ate boiled crawfish and I ordered a grilled chicken breast topped with grilled onions and mushrooms. As good as it was, I was only able to eat about 1/4 of it and I was full and satisfied. Didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. Blessed to have such a smooth journey thus far!!! Happy Weekend everyone!!!

I can't wait for that. Keep telling friends that pretty soon I can enjoy an evening out. Been to a couple of parties and did fine. I was afraid to try onions, now I will.

Hi! I was sleeved on 5/6 had some serious set backs along the way (allergy to meds put me back into the hospital & internal suture popped) so I was out of commission for the first 2 weeks. Here it is 6/2 and I'm 15lbs down. I've had a stall over the past week but I'm hoping that passes. I meet with the surgeon on Thursday and I'm hoping he clears me for more exercise besides walking.

5/6 233

6/2 218

How did you know your internal suture popped?

Hi May sleeves. I had my surgery on May 26th. I have not been on the scale in a week but at my two weeks post op I was down 14.7 lbs. I will weigh again tomorrow. Hopefully it is down a few more. I am getting back to working out today, just cardio. food is a challenge for me because I don't know what I like puréed. I just tried turkey meatballs from Trader Joes which are pretty good. I like having the whipped Greek yogurt with Protein Powder still! Good Protein source. I have my one month appointment next Friday so I hope to be down at least 20lbs by then! Keep it up everyone, it will happen before you know it!

This is my first post.

Surgery was 5/11

I've lost 42 lbs total (25 since surgery)

I am struggling big time! I've had severe nausea. GERD has improved.

At 5 weeks out I should be eating mushies by now, but everytime I try a puree or mushie I end up vomiting it backup- Just in the past five days I've gotten sick each day. My pouch cannot handle much capacity wise. I can only drink one 8-oz of Protein shake a day (2oz at a time). I think I have thrush which makes everything taste terrible, including Water. I am weak, tired and frustrated...I know I need to get more Protein in but I cannot take in anymore!!!

Hi,

I was Sleeved on May 4th. I have lost 51 pounds so far, it is June 16th. My energy is picking up a lot now that I have been gettting in my Protein and eating real food. Turkey is my friend!!!

I was a bit sad and depressed during the liquid and pureed food stage but now I am better mentally. I have been having trouble with gas and havng bowel movements. My doctor suggested I take a Dulcolax every night so I don't get constipated by the Protein I am taking in. This has helped a lot. I still feel sad sometimes and miss some of the foods I use to enjoy but hey...no food can replace the feeling of excitement knowing I hit my first goal of 50 pounds. I have 4 50 pound goals I want to hit...1 done...3 to go. Good Luck and blessings everyone!

Protein got really really hard for me too, i had to buy the unflavored one and just add it to things, like my yogurt, that helps a lot! now i can get it all in without having to fill myself to the gills!

Hello! I was sleeved May 26 as well. So far I am feeling amazing. I haven't had any issues and can tolerate everything I have tried so far. I am down 25 lbs since pre op shakes. I haven't lost much this last week but I think that might be due to trying to get enough Protein. I'm staying positive though because this is still the best I have felt in a long time

Hi there, I was sleeved 5/21 and am doing pretty well. I'm learning that fro-yo and tuna cause immediate trips to the bathroom and that I need to really really work hard to eat over 70g of Protein a day now and drink enough Water. I do love my results so far and can't wait to see where I am 4 wks from now!

Beginning weight : 250lbs

Day of Surgery: 231 lbs

Current weight: 214 lbs

Hello May sleevers - my surgery was May 4th. I did 10 liquid diet before and lost 10 lb. The first few weeks I was very low energy, hungry, couldn't eat much. I lost about 10 more lb then my weight loss stalled. I actually gained a few days. I was hungry and tired. I called the NUT she was not much help- more Water, more Protein. I don't think any of it made a difference Finally everything clicked back into grear - just as everyone said it would.

I am down 29 lbs total and loosing about a half to 1 lb everyday. I am seldom hungry and can't only eat a small amount and I am satisfied. Anotherwords - Perfect!

I can't say enough good things about costo's primiere Protein shakes. Not because they taste good (they don't) but 40 grams of Protein and it really stays with you. I still use one Protein shake and 1 Isopure to get in most of my protein.

I am feeling good and very pleased with my progress.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
