HELLO JANUARY SLEEVERS!



Recommended Posts

I've been waking more around the house. We got 18 inches of snow so that makes outdoors out of the question for me. I'm taking gas-ex and it seems to be helping.

Tomorrow I move on from full liquids to purees. I am down to 290 pounds today. I had one bout of stomach cramps that sent me to the restroom yesterday morning. The only thing I can attribute that too was the small can of V-8 juice that I just tried to introduce.

I've hit a stall as well. Sucks! But I'm just gonna keep doing what I normally do and hopefully it'll break soon. I'm going to a wedding in March and it would be nice to have lost some more weight by then.

Hello all, I was sleeved on 1/6/16 and stalled around week 3 for about 10 days. For about a week of that time, I had my period. I get my 70g Protein and do 30+ minutes of cardio every day. I'm not very successful at hitting my Fluid intake

It was funny that I took one day off from working out and that seems to coincide with when my stall broke. It's been a week since that time and I've lost another 7 pounds.

Sleeved on 1/29. Does any one feel like you have air in your pouch about an hour after you eat. Not gurgling or gas but; like a bubble below where your sternum ends. I'm having a hard time discerning hunger from that feeling...

I don't know if it's the same thing, but I feel that feeling when I've eaten too much or eaten too fast. That is my cue to stop eating. It doesn't take an hour, it happens right away.

Thank you, thank you Ladies! I thought it was just me because I hadn't read anything else that I could find on BP on this subject. I will get the bubblies when I think maybe I've eaten too fast, too much, or too big of bites, right away, so I stop eating thinking my sleeve is trying to tell me to back off. It will however, still bubble up to two or three hours later, and it makes me wonder too, if it is hungry or just still processing an earlier meal. I'm having difficulty recognizing the signs it is giving me.

My nut said to eat over 20-30 minutes but with like only 5 bites I can't do it. Are you all taking 20-30 min?

I try, but I can't stand when my food gets cold. It makes me gag! So I do think that's why I have a tendency to eat quicker. As far as Soups, tea, or coffee, I bought myself a coffee warmer which has helped, but other meals I have to keep reheating in the microwave. Pain in the butt! If we go out for Breakfast out my egg definately gets cold fast, and I just won't finish it.

I love the coffee warmer idea. Thanks!

I was sleeved the 6th. I'm glad to find someone close to my date. How are you feeling? I feel like I didn't even have surgery by today.

Hi There!! I am a 1/6 surgery, too. My recovery was very quick as well. Did not throw up once!

Now I seem to be slowing down with my weight loss. Still can't eat much, so can't figure out why. Always had this problem with dieting before and was really hoping with the sleeve it would be different.

Hello! Mine was January 6th. I feel great! I have energy. I am sure that won't last but I am enjoying it now! I'll be glad to get rid of stitches and eat solid food!

I was a 1/6 surgery, too. Surgery went very well. Quick recovery but now stalled out after losing 23lbs post surgery.

I'm in the same boat! Sleeved 20th Jan. Have lost 24lbs but stalled for last 2 weeks! Saw surgeon and nutritionist yesterday who told me to ditch the scales. Really anxious this is going to be another addition to the long list of weight loss fails.... And a very expensive one at that!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
