May Sleevers?

[AmandaWho 158]

2 1/2 weeks out. Still on full liquids. Getting all my Protein and fluids. scale hasn't moved in over a week. Actually, it's gone up and down, up and down. Half regretting this right now. Only reason I'm not fully regretting it is my blood sugars are completely normal without medication. So there's that. Which is what I said I'd be happy with, only I'm not. I knew I'd lose less because I was a lower weight, but this is ridiculous. 6lbs since surgery.
Sigh, I know my body is healing. This was my fear though.

Don't be discouraged. Your body IS healing and once it's done you'll see weight loss.

I'm in the same boat, blood sugars are great but....not seeing much for results on the scale side! My surgery was May 8th. I am still having trouble finding things that agree with me and getting my protien in. [emoji53]

Wednesday is the day....everything is a go. I'm getting nervous...but I am so ready to make this life change. I love my Dr....and the staff that have helped bring me to now. I find it comforting to know they will be with me through the entire journey and beyond....and will follow me for years. Praying it all goes smoothly.

Thank you fellow May sleevers for the encouragement and sharing your issues and successes. It really helps.

May 24th here too.

May 30th is my surgery date. I'm not sure if I've already posted on this thread because it's huge and I didn't want to look through it. lol

Yikes! Hope you get past that quick. Is it carb withdrawal?

Some of us have had that problem I vomited the first 2 days every time I tried to drink. By day 3 I was just nauseous. It seems in the majority of people that day 4 is the turn around day. Hang in there.

Hang in there. Did they give you anti nausea meds? It is probably the anesthesia, it will get better.

BP May Sleevers is a FB group someone started and quite a few of us are over there for the ones that don't know.

It's one day at a time. You will see results. I find that eating and drinking really slowly does it for me. I am in the pureed food stage now, I eat so slow. If I do not, I feel it. I was a super fast eater, so this has been a huge adjustment. I found and unflavored Protein called Unjury that has been a life saver.

Thank you I did order the unjury just waiting to receive it. I think eating slowly is going to be a huge battle for me too I'm always in a hurry.

In the hospital today and will be discharged this afternoon. I had the surgery 7:05am Tuesday morning - lots of pain shortly after but now it's nearly gone, gas too!

Smooth sailing all the way.

Looking so forward to hearing how the rest of you May Sleevers do. I'll start blogging tomorrow, and share this journey in more detail with pics etc.

Blessings to you and, a happy happy future!

Surgery was 2 weeks ago yesterday!!! I am doing great. There has been the pain (but I only used the pain meds for , I've felt tired, but I have had no major issues. I have been taking it slow and being really conscious of what I am eating, counting my Protein, and getting my Water in. It is an all day thing. I've never thought so much about what I eat. Today I stepped on the scale and was under 200 pounds for the first time in years. I am so happy and thankful.

No because I was already in ketosis from the liver shrink. Idk what caused it but I have had none today. Gas here and there but so much better so far. Phew!
