December 2015 sleevers progress check



Recommended Posts

I tend to take a bite or two, then wait, then bite, then I lose interest and say "I'll come back for this later." Is it grazing if it takes me all afternoon to eat to eat my small portion lunch?

I had mine on 12/31 and I can't stomach the Protein Shakes. I haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks but I was at a stand still at a lost of 29 pounds

Good for you foreverTracy! Sometimes the weight stays still and the inches move. Keep trucking and they will sync up again.

Anyone else having trouble keeping their eyes open past 8:45pm?!?! I feel like I have been going to bed when my kids do!

I can't emphasize enough the importance of keeping track of your measurements to quiet those stupid scale thoughts! Even when I was in a stall for 3+ weeks, I still lost inches. Even though I do weigh myself once a week, keeping track of measurements every 2-3 weeks is how I track my progress.

sleeved 12/14/15. pre op diet began at 292. surgery day 277. today 245. i feel as if i am losing slow because of the amount of stalls ive had. i lost 20 the first two weeks. then stalled for 2 weeks. then pretty much the entire time since. with a few days of a loss in between. its frustrating to say the least.

My goal for this year was to never get on the scale EVER again. I played the scale game for 45 years. If i was down i didn't watch my food, if i was ip i would practically starve myself. When i go to the doc/nut they weigh me. If they are happy, i'm happy. Just went shopping. I was sleeved on 01/14/16. I am down from size 22pants to 18 (i am bottom heavy) and a 2/3X top to an XL. This tells me i am doing well. ????

My surgery was 12/22 and I'm down 35 pounds so I'm happy. I have good and bad days with eating. One day everything goes down well, the next nothing does. I'm averaging about 500—600 calories per day. I had a follow up with my NUT and she wants me to drink more Water. I average about 62 oz per day. I told her that with waiting 30 minutes before & after my 3 meals per day plus the 30 minutes it tales for me to eat that is 4.5 hours of my day I can't drink. The struggle is real! I keep trying!

Hello everyone,

I was sleeved Dec 18/15. My high weight was 345, my surgery day weight was 312, and as of today, I am 280, so 32 pounds in just over 2 months.

I am ecstatic, and feel great. While I sometimes think I should lose a bit faster, (I compare to my wife who had RNY 2 years ago), I see the inches drop off. I have lost almost 6 inches from my waist, which is so awesome!

The future looks bright!

I find that I have become crazed with the scale; I took it out of my bathroom to stop the madness. Although I feel like I should wake up tomorrow as a size 2, it isn’t really what I want. I am happy with the slow and steady approach, hopefully there won’t be as much extra skin this way. Plus I can’t remember the last time I lost over 30 pounds in two months…

I do find concerning that I go up on the scale when I get close to drinking my 64oz of Water each day. I struggle with eating and drinking the required amounts of Protein and Water. When I get close to meeting these daily requirements, the scale goes up. I am really struggling with drinking my water, I try each day and it is such a struggle, makes me so queasy when I drink it and when I add the crystal light it gets worse. I keep hoping this passes but it hasn't yet...

I was sleeved on 9 December 2015...my weight starting the process was 245 lbs. After the pre-op diet, I was down to 236 lbs, and I am now weighing in at 179 lbs for a total of 66 pounds lost!

I just joined my local YMCA. I was stuck in a stall for 3 weeks and scale would not budge. I found some fun exercise classes like zumba and kickboxing and the scale started moving again. I was walking on the treadmill prior to this and think my mind and body were bored. Since I live in Wisconsin with long winters unfortunately I can't get outdoors like I would really rather do.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
