Wanted to check in with everyone who had their procedure on December 13th. How is the diet going? I am still liquids until next Wednesday. I have been doing well getting my water in, average close to 60 ounces. The protein shakes are getting old but I drink two per day. Have not had any nausea and not a large amount of pain around incisions. Thankfully have not had the gas pains I was so worried about. Today was my first day getting out of that house and I was surrounded by junk food and more junk food and had no desire for any. Enjoyed the time with family though.

I am 36, mother of 3. Was an athlete growing up and had no weight issues until I hit my 20's. Husband was deployed and I ate my worries away. 3 deployments later I was over weight. I have lost the weight(extremely unhealthy measures) and gained it back. I have a underactive thyroid.

I have an amazing life and I am extremely happy besides my weight has stopped me from enjoying everything God has blessed me with. I have been ugly to my husband, skipped activities with my kids, and disappointed myself too many times. That is what motivated me to have the sleeve.

My highest weight was 264, with the pre-op diet I lost 15 lbs. I have not weighed since surgery and do not plan to until my appointment on Wednesday. I am 5'7.

Thanks for reading. I look forward to going on this journey with you guys.

I went to my primary care yesterday for my blood pressure and he said the stalls are normal and everyone has them, then doubts the decision, but to hang in there cause it gets better.

I had my surgery also on the 13th, but I have not had any issues at all from the start, my surgery went very well, no pain, no gas pains. I have been having trouble as far as trying non pureed foods. I really need some feedback, has anyone else done this?

I am on puréed foods until the 10th so I have no tried them. I have been doing well with puréed but still adding Protein powder to get meet my protein goals.

My recovery was simple also. I did have some pain but nothing to take any meds for, just some discomfort.

December 13th sleevers!!

Lets all update and see how we are doing. I am trying to get a sense of what is normal, average, ect. I am 3 weeks post op today and down 16 lbs. I thought I would be down more, but seem to have stalled at day 13, losing only 1 lb in the past 8 days. Is this normal? Is this possible? My calories are between 600-800 per day. No issues with the Protein or liquids. Soft food stage for me, fish, yogurt and soup. I know its crazy, but I was not anticipating a stall for at least a month or two. My surgeon said the first 6 months is where the weight will fall off, after that its up to me. Hoping to hit a milestone in January.

Hey I had surgery 12/14 and hit a stall too. Have u began losing weight again?

I had surgery 12/14 and hit a stalling period as well

I still haven't gotten over the stall! Surgery was the 13th and once I started soft foods I've hit a stall. Nurse and dietician say don't worry about it but its stressful. Another dietician says the stress will cause body to hold the weight so again don't stress. It's hard!!! What does everyone's food log look like? What are you eating?

I've stalled, too.

I'm on an antibiotic that's tearing my gut up so I'm at a stall. My stomach is NOT liking the antibiotics (it's a liquid).

Hi everyone. From what I'm reading, the stall is normal. I was down 21 lbs on 01/02/17, but on 01/09/17, I went down only a pound. I'm still on puréed foods until tomorrow. The Protein shakes that I liked in the beginning are now making me nauseous. And so is the Water, but I still drink it with crystal light. My doctor and dietician say the artificial sweetener in it is ok, but I'm wondering if they're wrong. I've never heard good things about it. Does anyone have any good soft food ideas? I, too, use the GENEPRO unflavored protein. Mix it into puréed foods.

Just wondering, has anyone felt any pain in different parts of their body after losing the weight? Woke up on Sunday with my back and thighs hurting so bad that I don't think I sleep more than three hours total each night. I thought it might be Sciatica, but the pain does travel down the legs. Just stay mostly around the hips, lower back and upper thighs.

Happy first month!

6 weeks after surgery. I started low BMI but i still losing weight. My issue is actually still progressing to soft food and eating proper protein rather than shakes which i tolerate very well

I can tolerate yogurt plain and with natural fruit. and tiny amount of cheese.(cracker size).

tried lentil soup - there are days I can tolerate more of it and days I just can't.

I am now 163 pounds down from 190 Surgery day.

Any ideas about varieties of food (protein) that you can tolerate acknowledging of course that every individual is different.

Hi fellow 12/13 sleevers. How is everyone doing?

Hi fellow 12/13 sleevers. How is everyone doing?

I am doing well. Progressing and steadily losing. Staying on track with my diet and working out. Focusing mainly on cardio but adding in weights. I am able to get 70 protein and at least 70 ounces of water. I am halfway to my goal weight and I am hoping to make my goal before the end of summer.
How about everyone else?
