Hey all,

I was sleeved on May 26 and I am down a total of 19 lbs from highest of 312. I had a very difficult time losing weight on pre-op diet. I had such a hard time losing, period! My metabolism was so effed up from yoyo dieting, and meds I was on.

Good to hear from everyone.

I am May 26 also.

May 11th was my big day. I lost 21 pounds in the first 2 weeks, this Monday I will be 4 weeks out and I have been eating soft foods. I to have been having issues with getting enough water and protein. I will not be going back to work for a few more weeks(I have great benefits) My 4 week check up is this Tuesday and I will step on the scale then. I am having a hard time not over eating. I have made myself real uncomfortable a few times. I have been working with a nutritionist and a shrink. Learning to eat all over again is a little over whelming at times. I just look forward to being pain free!!

Sleeved May 20th, what portion sizes are you eating?

I got sleeved may 20th also, on soft foods now. Meals are anywhere from 1/2 - 3/4 cup total and snacks no more 1/2 cup or 8 oz protein shake, per my Nut

My scaled was stalled for two weeks... Dietician said make sure I was getting my protein. Started really focusing on the protein and viola! I lost 5lbs this week. My new protein drink of choice- syntax nectar. I've only tried the strawberry kiwi but my friends (non bariatric) drink them too and like the lemonade

I could use some tips on this, too. Admin loves to feed teachers! lol

@@Lillypad glad I'm not the only one who did that How are you doing with the eating habits now?

@@jordantaylor well I'm still technically on full liquids. Yesterday I ate a slice of thin turkey with cheese. I have been way too hungry. I felt so much better after. Dr should clear me Thursday officially. I just couldn't wait lol

Hi, I was sleeved on 5/20 and I feel great (despite the fatigue). I am already on solids... is anyone else there yet? Liquids were hurting me so my surgeons PA suggested I move along to solids, since it's rare, but some people do better with it opposed to thin liquids. And now I'm not having any issues with any of the foods I am eating. I am really surprised this whole process is as easy as its been.

Last week I had a slight stall which worried me. I was stuck at 212 for 5 days and then this morning it broke and I was down 4 lbs overnight..... it felt good and made me realize that these stalls I have heard so much about, are real.

Good Luck Everyone!!

Sleeved May 20th, what portion sizes are you eating?

I don't measure, I let my body tell me when to stop. But I would estimate I am close to .5-.75 cup of soft (like cottege cheese) or approx 3oz of solids (like chicken and beans). I've experienced eating 1 too many bites once, and once you feel that, you will be sure not to do it again!!! It's a terrible feeling.

I was sleeved on 5/19 and I have been eating solids for about a week. It's only toddler sized portions and I have done well. My goal was to never throw up and so far, I haven't. I haven't experienced a stall yet but I keep waiting for it to happen!!
