Will be 4 weeks on the 21. So far I'm down 42 pounds. 20 from my 2 week preop diet, 22 since surgery. I haven't been at 226 since maybe 2008. Currently wearing a pair of shorts that I haven't worn since we went to Walt Disney World in 2010.

Hello Everyone! I had surgery 7/27 and am still on pureed diet. I can't stand the thought of pureed meat, so I have been doing oatmeal, eggs, yogurt and Soup mostly. Any suggestions for other things to eat?

I just couldn't purée there meat either. You can do tuna, crab, or artificial crab.

I had pureed chili and that wasn't bad. I also had refried Beans. The thought of pureed meat (baby food) was terrible, DH had tried it during his pureed phase and said it was horrible. I remember it from when our kids were little and thought how cruel I was giving it to them, lol.

Today I reached the first weight goal that I set for myself. I started the journey at 268 and weighed 248 on the day of my surgery. I set my first scale reading goal for 225, and today I reached it! I haven't been at this weight since 2008, two pregnancies ago. While my shape (clothing sizes) are still bigger than I was 7 years ago it is still a huge accomplishment that I'm proud of.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Hello July Sleevers!!

Congratulations to everyone! We made it!! I'm six weeks & five days out - and am down 51 lbs. I too am struggling to get my Water every day. Some days are better than others, it depends on how much I'm doing.

The other day I went to the Iowa State Fair, and within four hours I had met my goal. Other times (like now) when I'm sitting at my desk working - I barely drink any. I'm finding it hard to get Water in especially trying to follow the '10 minute before - 60 minute' after meals rule.

I guess I'll just have to find what works best for me. I love Diet Snapple Raspberry Tea, but try not to drink too much of it because of the aspartame. I hope they jump on the band wagon like a lot of these other companies and find a more healthy alternative!

I've graduated from the soft food diet to whatever I want. So I'm gradually trying new foods. I'm staying with healthy foods. I work on Proteins first, and by the time I get to carbs, I'm pretty much done with my meal!

I was also sleeved on 7/27. I'm on purées and I haven't had anything that's actually pureed. My favorite is tuna mixed with Miracle Whip and I add tiny tiny chopped pickles (no peel or seeds) and cheese. Last night and today I had baked salmon, not even close to a puree but my NUT said it was fine. It felt great to be chewing real delicious food! I also love refried Beans mixed with cheese and plain Greek yogurt.

Was sleeved July 11. I've been doing walking/jogging and swimming as daily exercise. I really want to add some strength training but one of my incisions still hurts a lot so I'm nervous about pushing it. Do you think I should wait til the pain is complete gone or try work though the pain?

Hello!

I am doing great. Down 50 (but I have a lot to lose!). I haven't had salads yet but I have had cucumber slices with tuna fish and tolerated that well so prob can do that soon! Still just trying to get ALL that Water in, and ALL the Multivitamins, and ALL the Protein and now Miralax ugh! What multi vits are you on? I'm tired of these chewables 4x a day! I would rather just do a capsule lol

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
