NOVEMBER SLEEVERS! HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LOST SINCE NOVEMBER SLEEVE SURGERY AND HOW DID YOU LOST ALL WEIGHT! Thank you



Recommended Posts

Dear all,

feeling lost.

ive stalled badly last two months.

im now 241, down from surgery weight of 295. Since November I feel like I should be much less than I am. This distresses me. I know everyone's journey is different but my body is sooo stubborn I honestly don't know what to do.

i exercise 5 days a week.

but I have started to eat more. 1200 calories.

this far out please tell me what the magical number for eating is. It was so much easier in the beginning because it was so clear. I don't know right now in my journey. The number of calories, Water, Protein etc are a bit fuzzy.

please help. :(

@Hazel_eyez i don't know what to eat anymore....i have changed my diet and nothing changes, what is your diet ?




I'm sorry, I am barely on here anymore. I do a low carb diet with no more than 20g of carbs and I try to keep my Protein up with Protein Drinks, chicken, fish, and bison mostly. For "sugary" snack Quest bars, sugar free Jello (splenda), or kind bars. I also munch on celery, grape tomatoes, carrots, sunflower seeds, cucumbers and sometimes broccoli.

WE CAN DO IT!!

Yes, lady keep it up[emoji7] I have a little extra tummy skin as well and my boobs are non-existent without a push up bra but I may get surgery for them. I will see what muscle gains can do first. [emoji1]

Sleeved 11/9/16

HW: 260

SW: 242

CW: 159

Sizes: (pre surgery) = size 2x and 20W pants GOOD-BYE LANE BRYANT!

(currently) = s/m and 6 pants HELLO EVERY STORE IN THE MALL!!!

I FINALLY BROKE 100 although the weight is slow.slow.slowly coming off now. I'm okay with that (most days)... I still choose Protein 1st, limit carbs, and weight train a few times a week. I don't log individual nutrients but stay mindful of popular concerns (protein, carbs, Water, fat, activity, etc).

My body doesn't seem to tolerate some things as easily as it did before - I no longer eat Pasta of any kind, have difficulty eating rice and bread is severely limited. I don't miss any of it except the sushi rolls... which I still have, just only a bite or two rather than a roll or two !!! LOL Pre-surgery I would indulge in ice cream every.single.day. I have absolutely no desire for ice cream or brownies anymore. I use vanilla Premier Protein instead of Creamer in my morning coffee...

The 2nd best decision I made was to hire a personal trainer. Besides building muscle, it's rebuilding my confidence. It's helped in becoming more social and it's holding me accountable - it's an investment I'm thankful I can make and one that addresses many areas within - physical and mental. I feel so much better in my clothes, too!

It's very encouraging to see the progress of others. I've picked up a lot of tips from these forums and find many things about them to be useful. I do however, try not to get caught up in comparing myself and my journey to everyone else. It took a good long while for that to sink in my head - not everyone moves along at the same pace. In the beginning it was sometimes discouraging for me (I'm a wee bit competitive). Hind sight, I'm where I need to be and am moving along just fine.

I.Am.Happy. :)

HW (end August 2016): 334 lbs

SW: 312 lbs

CW: 211 lbs

Surg date: 11/14/16

51 more pounds to go!

High Protein, low carb. Finally worked my daily calorie intake to 1,200 a day, and it is really making the weight drop off the past two months. For a couple of months prior to that, I couldn't get my calories above 900 a day, and as a result, I was not losing any weight.

Congratulations to everyone!

Hello everybody!!!
How are you doing?!
I was sleeved On NOV 31st. I can tell that so far i have lost 70 pounds. Still losing But muuuuch slowly. Im currently 160lbs. My goal Weight is 145lbs.

It's amazing how this surgery changed my life. If i went back on time, I would do it again in a heart beat! I wish I did it earlier.

I train 3 times a week, weightlifting n some cardio. My body is much toned. I even see now some abs. In December I'm giving myself plastics surgery as a xmas present. Tummy Tuck, breast implants and some Lipo. Can't wait any longer! I went last week to a consultation with the surgeon. He said that I'm a good candidate for a mummy makeover. I must confess that it scare the sh*t out of me just thinking of the pain but I really want to do this. I want my pre children body!!

Anyone considering plastics at this point?

I think it's too early to consider plastics, honestly. My doctor's office won't even talk to you about it until 18 months out -- that's how long it takes for any skin that's going to snap back to actually snap back.

Im not sure whether it is too early since I expect go be at my goal weight before my anniversary. I'm already in the high end of being normal weight. I have 26% fat percent which for a woman is fine. I see the skin of my tummy, oh gosh!
Anyway, I think every case is different. My doctors are ok with my Tummy Tuck and breast augmentation. Thanks for your response.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?
      · 3 replies
      1. NickelChip

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
