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

I had my sleeve done on 8/3 also. Doing good so far, thought I might have lost more weight by now, but I will take what I am given. Pre-op had lost 15 pounds, post op have lost 24 pounds. So all together its been a weight loss of 39 pounds since May, and since April: 47 pounds, since back then I was 273 and now I am at 226. Eating regular textured foods now, but ofcourse measured, cannot have more than 4oz of food at any one time; if I do over do it I end up having to throw up some. Just eating in moderation but worried about overall protein intake since it is not at 60-80g daily yet. Will continue to take protein shakes for this lack of intake. Also, not taking in 64oz of fluid, I find this hard to do since plain water makes me somewhat nauseous. But overall, doing ok. I thank you for reading and thank you in advance for any responses to this post.

@@Awjones28, you re doing great a loss of 25 pounds is a lot considering its only been since the end of August that you have been sleeved. As for feeling tired, that will go away just make sure you take all your vitamins. Congrats on your success, wishing you more!

@@cbruce125 you will lose more weight, dont worry. I have had stalls since my surgery on 8/3. Then in the last two days lost 4 pounds, so suddenly...I am not at a gym , I only take neighborhood walks and hope to join a gym soon, but for the time being I am just eating at the regular texture stage and meauring all my meals. Not all of which consists of diet food but definitely all in moderation.

@@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.

Ugh new to this reply business - anyways. I have struggled since my surgery to find a protein shake I could stomach- tried adding a banana to one this am, after the gym. Choking it down now.

All the protein shakes that I consumed pre-surgery are just too dang sweet for me post-surgery! So I have been drinking Isopure. Do any of you have any other protein recommendations?

There is a product sold at the vitamin shoppe called coco protein. If you like coconut water THIS STUFF IS AMAZING!!!!! there is a chocolate flavor also that I haven't tried cuz I hate chocolate stuff but the piña colada taste just like plain coconut water and the stuff is amazing!!!!!!!!! I stick to that and isopure rtd juices Apple melon is my favorite kinda taste like a liquid jolly rancher!! Good luck!!

Mrswrath, I could not stomach the protein drinks either. I ordered GENEPRO on of amazon,it is supposed to be odorless and tasteless, and it is for the most part. I mix it with swiss miss sugar free hot cocoa and it is definetely easier to get down. in phase 3 I got to start making it with skim milk instead of water, even better!

Omg. Im down 28 pounds and still in same size pants. Tops a bit loose but what the hell? It's weird and frustrating. Maybe I need a new scale. People say my face is smaller.....did I really have 28 pounds on my face? ☺☺☺☺☺

Lealor - I doubt very much you had 28lbs in your face! I notice that the bigger we are, the more weight it takes to go down one size. I was 295 and was in a 22W, I've lost 67lbs and I'm in an 18. I think once you get down to size 12, 10, 8 etc. it's a 10-15lb loss between sizes. It took about 40lbs before anyone started to notice my weight loss. Don't get discouraged...28lbs is amazing!

Mrswrath did your NUT recommend putting banana in your Protein shake? My NUT told me to stay away from banana's because they are very high in carbohydrates. You could always try adding unflavored Protein powder to chocolate milk, cocoa or thick Soups for extra protein.

Thanks I will check out the coco protein!!

I only tried once with a banana in it- not a fan of the taste of bananas anymore. My dr. Said we could do mashed bananas starting stage 2. This week I am at a weight loss stall????????.

Not sure if it is because I have upped my workouts this week to 2 a day?

I see my dr end of next week- do hopefully I start losing again

My surgery was August 26th. I have lost 30 lbs total. pre surgery and after. Little disappointed, thought I would lose more. Just waiting to see.

Today is one month post op. Sleeved 8-25-15. Lost 56 lb. feeling great.
