Looking for those who had sleeve in August 2015

[Sherri1964 7]

I had the sleeve Aug 27, I just started phase 3, It is much better, I have had tuna salad, (no onions grapes or nuts) on toast and it was so good! I have had fish but didnt do well with fish. I am down 23lbs. I had a week without losing as well, but looks like it has picked up. My energy level seems to be getting better the more I am able to eat. I am meeting my Protein goal, but my liquid goal suffers... its a struggle

Lots of August 11th folks on here! Yay. I too was stalled and disappointed in my post-surgery weight loss. As of this week, things are starting to get better on the scale and I'm a little bit less hungry than I was before. That's a good thing. I lost 22 pounds on the pre-op diet and only 19 since the surgery. I know someone will say, "only 19?" but as was pointed out above, when you are eating about 800 calories a day that seems pretty slow. Also compared to what others report. I had two whole weeks with no loss at all. It's back on track now though so I'm good.

@@Sherri1964 ooohh, you get toast? My doctor said no bread, Pasta or rice for the first 6 months. I miss it! But I have found some creative ways to have "sandwiches." My favorite is smoked salmon or smoked trout, Laughing cow cheese, and capers rolled up in a lettuce leaf.

Isn't it amazing how the directives from different doctors vary so widely?

HI, I am exactly 4 weeks postop, Im in the soft semisolid food, not much variety, but ok for now. I feel Im more nauseous than before with some days with constant severe nausea since I started semisolids. I can tolerate yoghurts mostly, dont get enough Proteins in as my stomach doesnt tolerate the Protein shakes too well, I find it hard to get all my Vitamins as well as Im food averse!, also I find Im constantly training myself to eat slower, and \i do get some stomach discomfort. There are days when I revert back to thick liquids, as the semisolids make me nauseous. Im very sick of carrots, but Im still not allowed meat, bread, Pasta or fish, which leaves me with Soups , mashed vegies, cerelac, millk and yoghurt. Also I tried egg white today and I was very nauseous. I ve got so much nausea these days that Im inclined to do a pregnancy tests, fingers cross it will be negative! i wasnt that nauseous right after the surgery its is only since the semisolids. I have to say Im getting depressed with this nausea, it is very debilitating.

I forgot to mention I lost 12.5 kg in 4 weeks, Im happy with it.

Hey Sleeved on August 26th -- had no issues, and recovery has been great. I feel like I am finally getting my strength back and do not get fatigued like I was in the beginning. Have a major knee issue that has kept me from walking the last couple days which is disappointing... I feel activity has really helped with the lbs melting away! Hope everyone is doing well tonight!

i was sleeved 8/27 as well. Been stuck on 15lbs

[Vivian Falto Lequerique 3]

I has mine on August 10. Eating well. Nothing raw so far...but all is good. Little hunger.lots of energy!

[lizlosinglbs 2]

Sleeved 8/18. Feeling good. Down 25lbs. Constipation is an issue and occasional gerd feelings

[CynthiaAnn 59]

lizlosinglbs, I was also sleeved on 8/18, feeling great and lost 25 lbs so far!

Congrats and keep up the hard work!

[stuart85 28]

Sleeve 8/19. Never got hungry until two days ago. Is that normal a month out to start to get hungry?

I'm eating 8oz shake for Breakfast 4 oz for lunch and dinner nothing else

I don't like this hunger feeling

[CynthiaAnn 59]

Stuart, are you allowed to eat mushy/soft foods yet? That step is so much better than the liquid drinks for hunger.

[stuart85 28]

Yes. I've been mushy/puréed for over two weeks and this new found hunger has only been around the past two/three days

[Mrswrath 19]

I was sleeved 8/3- had a very rough first week in the hospital. Down 51.5 lbs ( this includes 15lbs I lost in the 2 months before surgery).

I am on stage 3, and can not even imagine how I am suppose to fit a fruit or veggie in- it is hard enough eating 2-2.5 oz of Protein.

I get up at 4 am to go to the gym for an 11/2 hr before work 3-4 days a week and do 90 mins of Water aerobics 2 a week- Sunday I try and get a walk in.

I am tracking all my food and water and range between 551- and 610 calories a day- some days I need to remind myself to eat lunch.< /p>
