Yes, I know what you mean. I am going to start to gauge what amount triggers that.

Hi I was sleeved 9/22 so I am almost a month out and I have lost 21 lbs since surgery. Still a little sore under my left rib, but I wear a light compression support belt. That helps. I am trying new foods and find that eating is not so eventful when you can only take a few bites. post-301099-14767978938348_thumb.jpg post-301099-14767979162111_thumb.jpg

@@lizardqueen I feel pressure where my esophagus is - it's always 1 bite too many when that happens

That is also my first sign. If a small burp doesn't move it. It's definitely time for me to stop. I also get a runny nose.

Hi everyone! I was sleeved 9/26. Had lost 14lbs that first week and NOTHING since. The last couple of weeks have been hard as there was a death in the family that meant we had to travel out of state - and stay with family I had not told about my surgery. So I'm wondering if it's a normal adjustment or if trying to work with what they provided killed my potential. How are you all doing?

What have you been eating, and how has your Protein been? I was sleeved 9/15 and just hit the 40lb mark but I am 5'10 so it's obviously coming off me faster than others. If you're following your plan I think it's way too early to be concerned.

Great job on 40 lbs gone!

Since I haven't had much control over what food is available , I've done my best trying low sugar premade Protein shakes from the corner stores and cutting skin off of fried chicken etc. It was nearly impossible to track, so I opted not to drive myself insane. I'm doing my best to get back into a grove now that we're home. I'm hoping the scale will start moving soon!

Thank you! I'm sure once you get home and can break the bad vaca habits you'll do better. Just be very careful not to spring a leak! I just tried chicken today. Protein Bars, string cheese, etc. are your friends when you don't know what food is available.

Hey September Sleevers just checking in. It's great to see updates from everyone. I was sleeve on 9/29 and thankfully have had a very smooth few weeks. I even went back to work on my 5th day post op I felt so well. Glad to report I am 42# down since start of my pre-op diet 09/19 and 28# since surgery. I'm on soft foods for another week and then I will hopefully get cleared to start on normal foods. I look forward to seeing everyone's continued progress.

      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.

      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!!
