Hi all I noticed there are several people being sleeved on the 1st. Introduce yourselves and let's motivate each other and keep in touch! I'll go first. I'm 5'5" HW 242

CW 232 GW 160. I am extremely nervous about the procedure, but I am also excited.

I had salmon for dinner tonight at a restaurant and it was amazing. And so little made me so full!

Oh that sounds delicious. I can't start soft foods until 2/29. I think they want me to master these other stages before since I haven't been getting my pureed foods down well.

PrettyCali, How are you doing eating real food? Are you not having to mash/puree everything? I'm looking forward to it. I can't even eat mashed/blended food until this Sunday

Those who started purée how quickly do you get full. I take two bites and feel like I ate a horse. Anyone experiencing the same. ??

I get full off of 4 tablespoons if the food is warm but if the food is hot i eat up to 6 tablespoons which i feel is alot!!

I just portion out a cup of its full liquid and 1/2 cup of it is real food. Then I eat that until it is gone...slowly. Still not doing good on water though.

It's right around the corner!!!

It's really good but I can only take two or three bites and I have to stop. Not having to mash anything but its an option. I chew the soft foods very well. My options are really limited lol! Here's what I can actually eat (plus all full liquids from before):

So as you can see it's not much but I'm happy! I still had to have a protein shake (30g of protein) this morning just because I want to make sure I can get it all in.

Finally getting the hang of the fluids, but the protein...meh...not so much. Baby steps.

All our different food stages are funny to me. I have good and bad food experiences. Smashed beans went down fine one time next tome I got 2 tsp. Down and almost got sick.

But day by day... I'm more excited that I was cleared to go to the gym. Woooooo hoooooo..... I can only do low impact cardio.. and no weights or ab. Work.

But it still feels good to move. ????

Hey guys! I am also a sleever from 2/1. So 2 1/2 week out. My HW 260, SW 251, GW an ambitious 130! I was loosing 1 lb a day but for the last 5-6 days I have lost 0 lbs! Frustrating for sure. I just started the puree portion of the diet this week. Made a turkey and black bean chili and am only able to eat 2-3 oz before I am full. I know I am not taking in enough water or protein. Seems as if teh higher the protein I take in the fuller I feel and less food I can eat. I suppose that's the point but hard to eat the amt of protein if i am full. Its crazy tho because I love water but sipping is the hard part. Gonna start exercising and drinking more water in hopes this will help.

It's fairly normal to hit a stall when changes food phases, so I wouldn't worry. I was sleeved 2/2, but am on liquids for another week before going to the mushy/pureed stage. I expect I'll stop losing then for a while.

I would love to group to chat with. My surgery is February 24th and today I started the pre-diet. This is really making it real.

I have eaten so much today and I have no idea how I was able to? Shouldn't I be puking my guts by now? I've had no energy. Took a B-12 shot today. Hopefully that helps.

Lol! Our doctors are so different lol.

I was cleared as of Monday for the gym - same as you low impact cardio but 5 - 20lb weights. BUT my sweet overprotective husband said I can wait on going to the gym until I'm fully recovered. He's so worried I'll mess something up but I really want to go. I do have the tendency to go hard and I think that's what he's worried about but I won't overdo it!

Anyways, maybe he'll go with me this weekend and see that I'll be fine. I love him for caring but I'm ready to get to work!

Like food food? Or like our restricted food? A lot? Like a lot lot? Or just like 4oz. Because 4oz is a lot! I actually feel like I'm going to puke every time I hit like 1.5 oz. it's annoying as heck.
