I had my sleeve done Aug. 27, just looking for people to chat with about how things are going.

I struggle too with trying to still eat to fast, but my sleeve kindly lets me know that it does not like it. But overall doing very well. 25 pounds down today, surgery was the 8/25. I had a 5 day stall last week. That was tough, but the scale seems to be moving again.

I have trouble slowing myself down while eating, too. It feels like I have a rock in my chest right now. But it might be stress. We just found out my husband has a brain tumor and we have been at the hospital since early Monday.

Surgery 8/26 18lbs so far I'm happy! I can't tolerate eggs and I love eggs...my sleeve doesn't let me know that I'm getting full I go from starving to getting sick I still get 2 to 3 oz but depending of what I'm eating I can tolerate or not...I'm so bored of food options and I dont like cooking...I miss steak but have a feeling it will be too much for me...let's see how many lbs I will lose on my second month...I f I lose 10 I will be happy!

August 11th so today is day 30 and I can transition from pureed foods to soft foods. Eating 80 grams of Protein a day and about 800 calories right now. Lost 22 pounds pre-op but only 13 in the 30 days of post-op. No idea why. I've been following the program and feeling really good. Just stuck at this weight for eight days now. Frustration.

I've been eating mostly yogurt and Protein shakes, some eggs, some pureed meat with light mayo, a little fruit with no skins and some cooked carrots. Not sure what to start up on next for the "soft food" phase. Add more vegetables I suppose. I can handle more than the 3 ounces I'm supposed to have (unfortunately) but haven't been abusing that.

Oh well, time will tell.

I was also sleeved on 8/11. It seems like we are on the same track. I'm eating about 800 calories a day and I've only lost 22lbs since surgery. I've lost inches though. I eat lots of dairy.. Greek yogurt. Cottage cheese and Babybel cheese. Ground beef is a little tough but ground turkey and chicken work well. I also have a hard time getting 64 oz of Water in as I just get busy at work and don't sip so often.

I do feel better though! I know the best is yet to come.

Sleeved 8/19. Lost 25 lbs post surgery so far. Eating normal diet (64g low fat protein/64 oz water) a day. Feel great. Get full pretty fast...no issues with pain after surgery (Dr did robotic arm laser), incisions healing nicely...no nausea after surgery (but they gave me meds so I wouldn't). So far only thing I cannot tolerate is hard boiled eggs. WS slowed down at 3-4 weeks, but has since picked up again. I joined a gym a couple weeks ago and do 30 minutes strength training and then 20 minutes cardio, then flip the next day...go to gym 5 days a week. I think I've gone down 3 sizes so far.

@@Mrswrath you can add some fruit to your smoothie. You should be getting in at least 800 cals if you are working out that much. Or even a few bites of well cooked veggies at supper. You are working out a lot....you need to add food. I cant get my fluids in. Ended up in emerg last week from dehydration.

Pillar- I'm so impressed with the sizes lost. I've lost similar weight but not a size change yet I don't think. Still wearing same clothes but they are a bit loose.

I am almost 3 sizes down sleeved 8/17 32 down

3 sizes how? Man or woman? I started in a 5xl shirt that was pushing a 6xl now I'm comfortably in a 4. Pants were the stretch 56 now comfortably in a 54. Down 69 pounds in the 6.5 weeks since 2 week pre op. I can't complain about that but I've got 250 to lose.

Three sizes in a month? I know all clothes brands fit different so I'm curious if people are saying the same brand they are down three sizes in a month or so.

I was sleeved 8/24. Down 25 lbs so far. Feeling good most of the time, still get tired though. Recurring achy pain on lower right side. Nurse assures me its muscle. Other than that I have to force myself to eat most days. I'm on soft foods so I just ate half a salmon patty, and a couple slices of zucchini and squash. I use the isopure to help with protein. My fav right now is ice cold water.

Woman and true it depend on the brand but I am bottom heavy all my jeans are big now and I go by my jeans because I always had a hard time shopping for jeans and.

that a good sign for me even if Iam not satisfied with 33 pounds..

@mimorisonHey I had my surgery on 8/26 and down 22 lbs-- I had some steak filet last night -- I cut it so small my family was making jokes. I only had maybe 1/4 of an ounce but it was wonderful!!

I was sleeved on 8/17 and am down 25 pounds.

However my weight has been stalled for 15 days now.

It's so discouraging.

Tomorrow is my Stage 3 which is my final stage.

I think I can eat most everything except salads.

I am also experiencing hunger now.

My diet has been pretty good.

About 50 to 70 g of Protein per day, 600 calories, and low carbs.

I also do Zumba 2 -3 times a week.

I just need to be patient I guess, and hope the weight loss starts again soon.

@@cbruce125 I am at a stall too it sucks I hope it get better because.
