June 2015 sleevers

[Vaness7578 35]

I was sleeved on 6/25/15. My program starting weight was 235.4lbs. I was 223.9 when I started my liquid pre-op diet and on surgery day I weighed in at 215.1. This morning my weight was 196.8lbs. I'm very pleased with the way things are going for me. My first 2 weeks were pretty brutal on me (mostly mentally). I also hit the 3 week stall, it was a bit torturous. I just kept jumping on the treadmill for some easy walks. It seemed to do the trick. So I'm about 18lbs down since surgery, and 38lbs down overall. I'm still struggling with my mind wanting to eat more than my stomach can handle. I'm getting better everyday with that. I'm feeling great, and proud of the way I look, even though I'm a long way from where I want to be. Good luck everyone!!

I was sleeved on June 10th. I have lost 45 pounds... the best part is I feel so good. I am introducing "real" food to my grouchy pouch, am exercising, and I am so filled with hope! There is light at the end of this tunnel....if only I could have a diet Pepsi! LOL.

Sleeved June 26th, down about 35 total. Had an Iron sleeve the first 3 weeks, 4th week everything tastes terrible. and always seem to eat a bite or two too much. Other than that I feel great and couldn't be happier with my decision.

I was sleeved on June 22nd. I did not have to do a pre op diet. I am down 35lbs and i have gone through a few stalls. I don't really see a difference but some other people say they see it. I am slowly adding things back in to my diet and I have had no issues. I think my biggest issue is getting all my fluids in. I was a bit dehydrated the first 3-4 weeks which made it hard to exercise. I am happy with my decision.

Soo I'm currently at a stall and I'm like obessed with my scale .. like every morning and night I get on it to weigh myself.... I need to throw that sucker out but I guess just seeing the difference in weight made me keep reassure myself that I'm not gaining anymore weight..... anyways I feel good though ... 40 lbs down and i have more energy and move more around. Though I guess my mind has playing around with me so I think I'm still big like before... :/

I was sleeved June 3...so almost 2 months now. I still have trouble getting in all my liquids. They released me to eat some veggies, but after the Protein. I never have room after the protein. I feel like I'm just drinking and eating protein. Any advice?

I had bypass June 1st and have lost 48 lbs as of today. I have not had any problems and can eat whatever I want but I crave meats and veg. I have had 2 stalls so far, one at the dreaded 3 week post op mark, and one that just broke today. Both lasted about a week. I started at 300 lbs and my first goal is only 2 lbs away!

Who knew jogging/running could give you so much adrenaline. 6.5 weeks post-op. From sleeping late, being lazy, eating in the closet and overeating to waking up early, feeling energized, eating healthier and to be able to 8 miles on the treadmill. 28lbs down. Sleeved 6/16/15

Today marks my first 50lbs lost since surgery on 6/8! Total of 74lbs (pre op and post op).

@@need change - I almost always get my Protein in so I might have veggies as a snack.< /p>

Question for everyone. I was sleeved 6/16. I get majority of my Protein with shakes and unflavored Protein Powder. I'm on soft foods for another two weeks but are only able to take 3 or 4 small bites before I am full which consists of all protein. My question is how do you all get in your protein? Is this normal for me to take in majority of the protein in with liquids at this point?

I was done on 6/15. I drink 2 Protein Shakes a day most days to ensure I get enough. I personally can't eat enough Protein either.

I have noticed that a few people here have 2 Snacks during the day which consist of Protein shakes/drinks in addition to their three meals. Some have a Protein shake every day for Breakfast to keep their Protein up (I think this is something I will do too, just to ensure that I get enough in, until I can try to cover all protein with food, if I can). Some don't have any at all and get all their protein from their meals. Its early day's for you at the moment. Just do what works for you, in order for you to remain healthy and happy.

I was sleeved 6/8, and still have to have a shake to hit my Protein levels. I drink it in between each meal. I do not snack, my NUT says it is not necessary. I hate forcing food when I am not hungry (which I never am). I was told that in a few months, I will be able to eat enough ounces at eat meal to get all my protein from food and I can forget the shakes. Right now, I'm done after 1.5oz.
