JULY SLEEVERS- How are you doing?

[Peeblejam 5]

Hi.
Try chewing each bite 32 times. I actually put the fork/ spoon down after each bite. The slower I eat the more full I get and less uncomfortable. Sometimes when I feel hungry I focus on my fluids instead (drinking it).
I really try to remember why I'm in this process to begin with, and talk to myself about not going back to square one in 2 years.
All the best on your Journey

Thanks for the advice. It's funny over the last several days, all of a sudden I find I can't eat as much as I was. And I'm no longer hungry right after eating like I was.

I have started to concentrate on chewing each bite at least 25 times. I also use the timer feature on my phone and time 30 seconds between bites. LOL

I just started week 4 and exercising again. I feel great but my weight loss has stalled, since I moved to purees. Is that normal, how to I break the stall?

Hi

I don't weigh myself at all. I don't even own a scale! I have been using old clothes to gauge how I'm doing. I don't compare myself to anyone else as my starting weight is not as much as others so rate of loss will be different. I'm female and 52+ so losing at a different rate.

Yesterday I wondered if I eating too much. I was feeling very hungry and had to take extra meal but still within 60-80 G Protein.
I reflected in what I did as to why I felt sooo hungry, and remembered eating something sweet on Sunday at a picnic and a little taste yesterday. So last night I decide not to sabotage myself and lay off sweets as I think it got my juices going and making me hungry.

I believe if I do the right things I will be great.

All the best. You can do it!

July 18th feels like forever though my stomach only can handle Soups and oatmeal still . The meats feel so heavy and fill me to the gills

I was sleeved July 10. Feeling great, but I'm in the dreaded 3 week stall. I haven't lost an ounce in a week. I'm trying not to let it get me down because a lot of people experience this. *I will not complain. *I will not complain. *I will not complain.

How did your stall go? Any tips or methods you've used?

I upped my Protein a little bit and just stuck to my program. It's tough but at least it only lasted 7 days!

11 days post op (sleeved on 7/31). I have felt amazing over the last week. However, over the last 2 days, I am finding myself feeling short of breath when walking and my anxiety is starting to creep in. I am sweating like crazy, just walking through the store. I am weak and tired. I am not getting full Protein but still reaching about 55 grams a day and about 50 oz of Water. I am a worrier and so I am concerned that something might be wrong. Or else the estrogen and hormones are flowing. I have lost 17 lbs in 11 days. Total since Thanksgiving is 86 lbs. Please tell me others have experienced this as well. I have sent a message into my surgeons office and expect a response tomorrow. I don't have any stomach pain or anything. Just the shortness of breath, sweating and a little dizziness.

I was sleeved on July 26th. I didn't expect this jorney to be as smooth as it is. I had no gas pains, no nausea, only had to take 1 pain med after arriving home. I was a little weak while walking a few days after surgery. I'm still having problems drinking 64oz of fluids. I'm taking all Vitamins. No problems eating soft foods. I haven't return to work yet. I'll be going back on 8/24. I've loss 44lbs since I started this journey on April 28th. I have no regrets....absolutely best decision. I a truly blessed. Hope everyone is doing good as well.

I was sleeved on 7/24 - I went through exactly the same thing. It changed for me....hopefully it will for you too, hang in there.

This week I am in a stall.

It also happens to be the third week.

Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!!

Right???!!! I thought the three week stall was a myth. The Lochness monster of the WLS world, if you will. Then BAM! Three week stall, right on schedule.

Mine was July 10th. The first month I lost 40... as long as I maintain my Water intake I noticed I'm still losing. ...
