How is everyone doing? I just hit 4 weeks post op today. Struggling with getting Protein in. I am feeling pretty good though. Energy is low. I am down 50 lbs today since pre op diet.

4/26 sw 276

6/1 cw 226

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.

How did you know your internal suture popped?

Up your protein. I stalled for 2 weeks, added protein and have lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks

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!

This is my first post.

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

Hi, I was sleeved may 28. Still on puree and soft foods, no problems with anything so far which I'm thankful for. Initially I found milk was going straight through me but that has subsided now!

I feel great and am already seeing and feeling the benefits :-)

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.

I was also sleeved on the 26th of May! I have hit a stall this last week or two! I am super frustrated!!! My one month spot is coming next Friday and I pray the scale moves for me again! This is super disappointing knowing I am doing all the right things. A finger if peanut butter shouldn't make me stay the same weight should it?
