Where are my November sleeve buddies? I'd like to connect with folks going through similar stages together so that we can support and learn from each other.

Sleeved on 11/9 here. I'm still learning what I can and can't eat. And I've never been able to get in the 100 oz of liquids I was told to drink daily. I aim for 50 and am happy if I can surpass that.

Hi sleeved on 5th Nov Christmas has been challenging but made it through with out eating too much crap.

How are u doing ??????????????

I was sleeved on 11/16. Definitely still trying to get to know my sleeve. Liquids I am struggling with. I have no interest in plain water anymore.

Nov 10 i dont come on here a lot ita hard to follow and website freezes gastricskeeve is good anyone nave facebook

Sleeved Nov 13. Just as all of you have already said, there is a lot of getting to know my sleeve going on. It is weird, I will think a food is good as it my sleeve is ok with it and the next time I have it I will vomit.

Right now my focus is on increasing my workout's intensity. Luckily I have a bike and elliptical at home for this extended break, but the gym bag is already packed and ready to go for the new year.

Hi fellow November sleevers! I was sleeved 11/18/15 & have been a very slow loser. Started incorporating cardio and have been eating lots of protein. I'm able to get 64oz of water in daily but don't like the taste of water lol. One thing I'm suffering from is I wake up with headaches every morning. It's not dehydration but I don't know what it is.

Sleeved 11/5 - HW 292, SW 274, CW 246, GW 138, height 5'9. So far so good!

Sleeved 11/30. Still on puréed foods next dr appt is this Friday then I go to diced foods. Hardest challenge is getting in my 64oz of water. I can get 48oz if I'm lucky. Other then that I feel pretty good and really excited on how my clothes are fitting

I was sleeved 11/19 so far only lost 34 pounds

I'm on regular food since December 23rd

I got the Sleeve on 11/5. Diet is pretty much unrestricted, I find my go to is chicken, tuna and Protein shakes. Just started drinking wine and booze again over Christmas, and noticed my tolerance is a lot less. I have already lost 58lbs and hitting the gym again everyday.

Update I lost another pound today so that's 35 pounds , and I don't work out I want to but my baby it's only 1 and I'm always home with him

Sleeved 11/25/15 started 8/4/15 250 lbs date of surgery 228.8, currently 201.8. Have been walking on my treadmill till 4 weeks post up, also using albs weights for arm exercise, but at 4 weeks started with approval of physician swimming, 15 swimming and 30 min now at 45 min aqua exercise and walking, love that, great for everything Water is great protects your joints and toning muscle, go every day before work since I started Saturday one week ago have not missed a day yet, hard to go, but feel great afterwards. Ok with 64 ounces of water, ok with Protein 60-80 gram, but hard to get anything else in regarding fruits and vegetables. Have eaten very well cooked brocolli and carrots and apple sauce, but many days since I started soft foods just enough to deal with protein, eating cottage cheese and 1 cheese stick for Breakfast, or yogurt, lunch chicken, tuna or sometimes lox same for dinner.

I wanted to respond to SCARLAP but did not see a reply button, I have a f.u with my physician at 6 weeks which will be this wednesday and waiting for approval to start hula hooping, i was thinking that might be something when allowed by physician that you want to try. It is great for toning and cardio and not as expensive to buy as many exercise machines. You can look on line, just make sure that you have one that is the right size, not a childs one. It will maybe take a little time to be able to do this, but most people can learn it. Also 5 lbs dumb bell weights are great as well as ankle weights, which you can use when walking in your home or out with stroller.

Good luck!

Nov 18th here. Daily struggle trying to decide what to eat. My nut says no pasta,bread,rice until day 120. I'm wondering if that's more for the weight loss aspect. I really want some cous cous. Lol

Welcome all!! So happy you all replied! Sounds like we all have a lot in common being Nov Sleevers! I'm going through a lot of what you all are. Don't get a lot of solid foods down. Basically only about 3 oz of animal protein 3x a day, little veg/fruits, thank goodness for protein shakes bc I would never get 60g of protein in! I'm getting enough fluids but I have literally drink all day. Started taking a daily antacid this am bc everything gives me indigestion. Can't eat anything even remotely spicy which I really miss but what can you do? I'm continually looking for creative ways to get protein in so if anyone has suggestions or tricks, let me know please! I've lost 46 lbs as of today. Started back to the gym last week and loving it. No dumping for me but I eat really clean so that helps. I did cheat today with more carbs than usual but it's the only day so far. I'm thinking about starting a private page on FB for us... Would anyone be interested? I think it would be easier. Let me know! So glad to have you all here. I'm gonna share my before and current pics. Feel free to share yours!
