Any August 31st Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Today I did notice it's harder to swallow and I had tummy issues all night last night. I called my NP and got a prescription for protonix, I've been on Pepcid. I'm hoping that helps, I think it's acid and reflux, which had been better until last night. I found protonix worked better than Pepcid before surgery but ran out and Pepcid is what I was sent before surgery. Fingers crossed.

I lived on the Unjury chicken flavored broth for the first 3 weeks! I put it in my shaker cup and mixed hot tap water...so good...comforting! Not salty like regular broth at all!

Hi, I got the sleeve on August 31st as well. Everything has been going good so far. I had my first post-op appointment and im down 31 lbs including pre-op. I still can't drink my Protein Shakes, they make me sick. I'm improvising things my surgeon recommend to me to make my Protein and liquid goals. I listen to about 5 or 6 songs on my iPad and it equals to about 23 minutes so I walk until it's over. It's hard but I'm trying. I am also new to this site and im so glad I found it. Before this site I didn't have anyone that I knew that could relate.

Hey is anybody interested in unjury chicken noodle Soup flavored Protein powder... I bought two containers before going into surgery and now after surgery the smell just makes me gag... I really enjoyed it before surgery but i can't even stomach the smell of if... If anybody is interested please let me know and I will ship it to you at no cost... Just send me your information.

It's 20 grams of Protein per serving. Mix with 8 oz of Water. Each container has 17 servings. I have a full container and a half full container left and I don't wanna toss it.

Yes! I just opened my sample pack of it today and I absolutely LOVED it!! :) I'm definitely interest if still available :)

I graduated to soft foods today, and had some turkey meatloaf for dinner - I had no issues, though I chewed it to death just in case. I'm pretty excited to get to have some more normal foods without blending! How is everyone else doing with eating? I'm down 27lbs including pre-op... not too shabby for a month. :)

Nice that you have graduated to soft foods. I cannot wait until I can, I am so sick of broth. I am still having a hard time drinking Protein shake or even getting in 5 small meals. My surgery was a revision from lapband to sleeve so recovery has been slow. The weight has been coming off rapidly which is good, I was advised since it was a revision it might take longer I have lost 32 pounds but that includes pre-op. Are you guys having difficulty sleeping at night?

@@amaral1407, when do you get to graduate to soft foods?

I couldn't get 5 small meals in when I was on liquids either, so I wouldn't sweat it too much. My initial recovery was great.....it's the large internal stitch on the left side that has been murder for me the last week. I'm still sleeping in the recliner, so sleep is decent. I think it will be harder once I actually sleep in my bed. I hope that you're doing better since it's been a couple of days since your last post.

i'm on soft foods as of today! one week of this and then i can eat anything.

i'm down 30.2 lbs since surgery day but i think i'm stalling as i've only lost a few ounces in the last 4-5 days. my energy came back last week. i haven't felt this good in YEARS. i took the kids on a two hour hike, chased them on the sand (which is a WORKOUT), played basketball with them the other night. i don't even feel out of breath and i'm sleeping so well on the nights that i do that.

i'm back to work tonight (i'm a photographer) and i can't wait!

Heres my update! I was sleeved on the 31st, and I am down 29 pounds!!! I guess the icky liquid diet pays off!! :)

29 lbs since the 31st? Or including pre-op? If that's not including pre-op, that's insane!! Either way, congrats to you!

That is not including pre-op! But my SW was higher than most at 394... So that's probably why. But I am thrilled either way ????

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
