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 Thanksgiving! I am pretty much eating all types of foods now, but always my protein first! Loving my sleeve!

I have a few FB friend requests of folks I don't know. If this is you, please let me know so I can add you to our private group... Lots of great support happening there!!

Sleeve Nov 17 2015. Feeling and doing great. Down 49 lbs. On solid foods here.

HI Goddess, I have sent you a request on fb about 1.5 week ago and also have sent you private messages to this site but you have not responded or added me to the FB page, so i was wondering what the problem is?

I had mine 11/5/15 I am down 50 pounds but I have been very sick, I can't keep anything down and had to get IV treatments so that help take some off the weight, now I am at a stand still due to lack of protein and water, sad I feel like I went through this pain for nothing

I was sleeved on November 10th and, between my four-week pre-op diet and post-surgery weight loss, I am down 102 lbs. I have been fortunate in that I have not really had any problems getting enough Protein or Water in each day. Based upon my nutritionist's recommendations and feedback on this forum, I aim for about 100 g of protein per day. Since I am only supposed to eat somewhere between 600-700 calories per day, that means that just about everything that I eat has to be pretty high in protein. My go-to foods are Greek yogurt, grilled chicken breast, grilled shrimp & scallops, turkey, with a couple of Protein shakes per day thrown in. So far, so good.

Regarding your diet, you and I are pretty much spot on. I've started doubling up my protein shakes, generally two scoops of ON 100% whey per 8 oz of almond milk. Down 80lbs as of last week.

I was sleeved November 16th. Surgery weight 272, current weight 240. I am not getting enough Water or Protein. I wonder would I lose more weight if I was able to get more protein in? I also have not started exercising yet.... Plan on joining gym before end of week.

I have found the more protein I get in the more I can exercise...so it is tough--I still drink most of my protein.

Sleeved 11/17/15. Lost 20 lbs month one and 4 lbs month 2. What tha hell is up with that?????? The only thing I am not doing right is getting 64 oz of water a day. Exercising a few times a week. Also losing hair. Sad face.

Have you tried adding Biotin to your daily meds?

So today I weighed myself and the scale says I gained 2 pounds. I had a rough couple days and I have been eating poorly. Today I'm back on track and hopefully lose those 2 pounds by Friday... Has anybody gained any weight since surgery? I think I need to stop having the 2 snacks in between.

Mine goes up and down within 2 lbs...I doubt you ate enough to gain 2 lbs at this point
