Hi! I had my sleeve August 15! I wanted to see how everyone was doing?? I haven't weighted in two weeks but have been in a stall before that how much are y'all eating? My dr does not give set ounces so I am curious

My sleeve was Aug 19 and I am doing well. I still have trouble meeting my Fluid and Protein goals most days, but it's getting better. My day looks a little like this:

AM coffee - I drink 1/2 cup and put the other half in a (Premier) Protein shake that I sip on all morning

Breakfast - Usually a scrambled egg with cheese or a Jimmy Dean Delights fritatta (it's the size of a small muffin and I can't quite eat a whole one)

lunch - usually some form of leftover protein from dinner, such as a chicken thigh or baked fish; or I'll have tuna with mayo - most of the time, I can't eat more than 1 oz of any protein at a time (usually comes out to about 5 grams, a little more for fish)

Afternoon - sometimes I'll have a piece of cheese or a small handful of nuts (maybe 8)

Dinner - Again, some form of protein, as listed above

PM - If I can, I try to squeeze in a protein shake, or at least half of one, to make up my protein goal for the day

Hi. I was sleeved August 22. I'm getting in my fluids and about 80 g of Protein on average. I'm between 650-800 calories. 2-2.5 oz of food 4 times a day and one protein shake.

Not losing but definitely getting smaller. I'd lost 19 pounds pre op and I've lost 16 post op.

Slow and steady wins the race.

I had mine on August 17, I have hit a stall as well... but I am still keeping to the plan. I work out 4-5 times a day.

My meal plans go like this:

Breakfast: Protein shake, or egg, or grits.. I trade off each day

Lunch: some sort of protein meat, egg salad with lettuce boat, yogurt, some combination of those

Snack: some sort of nuts, or Kroger Carbsmart Protein Drink

Dinner: protein meat or a salad...I noticed I don't each much of a lot of salad.

I work hard to keep my Water at 64 oz. But I do fall short. How long are the stalls for? Cause I have lost about 25-30 lbs... buy it seems to be at a huge standstill.... what about you guys?

Aug 8 sleeve...almost on no restrictions for food, nervous to start real life. Lost 38lbs so far... struggling with constipation, I think it is stalling me out some. But no regrets. I drink one Protein drink and then regular food for the rest of protein goals...fluids I struggle with but I do pretty well and I power walk 2 miles each am. Pretty good for never exercising ever before. Hope you all are doing well.

I have also lost 25 lbs, and now I am in a stall - my first one at 6 weeks. From what I've read on here, they can take anywhere from 3 weeks to a couple of months. Like you, I'm still struggling to hit my water (and protein) goals. I'm going to focus on that, as well as increasing exercise, and hope I can break the stall that way.

Also, I just noticed you said you are working out 4-5 times a day. That seems like a lot, so if you are not hitting (or exceeding) your water goals, that may be part of the problem. I'd focus on that. I hope it helps!

Aren't we supposed to be walking 30 mins a day? At least that is what my Dr. Told me.... that's why i go to the gym so much! I work next to it and we get a membership for free, so I go right after work.

LOL, I was thinking... Man, she is hard core!! Still, you are doing great! I wish I worked next to my gym. That would definitely make it easier.

I was sleeved August 31. I'm pleased with my weightloss thus far - SW 276, CW 245. I am also having a problem with constipation. I can't eat more than an ounce of Protein at a time, but I have no problem drinking a Protein shake. I would say right now, half of my protein is from Protein shakes, and the other half is from food. A typical day is 1/4 cup of NF cottage cheese, and two tablespoons of peaches, a premier Protein Drink, Shelly's Ricotta Bake (1/4 cup) with 2 tablespoons of string Beans, a scoop of Isopure with some Water, chicken breast salad or Shelly's Chile Relleno Casserole 1/4 cup, with 2 tablespoons of string beans. When I stared pre-op, I weighed 310, so I've lost a total of 64 pounds. I haven't hit a stall yet, but expect that I will soon.
