Hi All,

Didn't see an October Post Op thread so I figured I'd start one.

I was sleeved on Oct. 17,2017. I had no complications, only pain I dealt with was the gas that was stuck in my rib/chest area for about 4 days. I didn't have any nausea or vomiting and have been doing great. Only frustrating thing is I hit a stall about 10 days ago and the scale hasn't moved yet. How's everyone doing?

I was sleeved 10/04 and I am down 34 lbs not sure how much is the normal monthly loss though

Does anyone else have 4 weeks of liquid diet after surgery? I just finished week 2 of 4 and I'm dying here.

I just had surgery on 10/23 and I feel like I am hungry all the time. Thankfully I can’t eat much. I have also stalled. With 21lbs down with pre-op liquid diet. Trying not to get discouraged.

Was sleeved 10/30 and started the Soft and Moist foods this week and so much happier. I'm done with jello, Kool aid, popsicle and on to food. Went through our Kaiser handouts and The Idiots Guide, Everything your need to know about WLS, Bariatrtic Cookbook and one other and wrote down ALL of the ingredients needed for this stage. Sent my husband out to get everything and now have a good idea of what I want to eat for the three meals a day. I'm on this stage for four weeks, and needed something other than eggs. I had banana/yogurt smoothie today and it was OH.MY.GOD.GOOD. I don't think I couldl've been on the liquid diet longer than the week I was on it.

How are you getting your protein in?

I eat two egg whites, fried in Pam, with no fat cheese at breakfast. I always eat 3oz of whatever meat at the other two meals rounded out with 1-2 oz of (green beans, roasted squash). I have three snacks each day out of: triple zero yogurt, two lifts cheese sticks or a shake made of 4 strawberries, 1/2 cup blueberries, 6 oz water and a scoop of protein powder. I’m at ~ 1,000 cals a day, but I workout quite a bit.

That's great! Once i overcome this nausea I plan to try and hit my protein goals.

I was sleeved 10/16/17 Down 30lbs total. How many Calories are ya"ll eating a day? Just curious. I get around 400.

I had my sleeve done on 10/11/2017...I generally get around 600-700 per day

I was sleeved on October 26th. I was amazed at how quickly I recovered. I have had so many surgeries and have never recovered so quickly. I have lost about 26 pounds as of my 2 week appointment. I don't weigh myself because I'm afraid honestly of what the scale says. I can barely get food in I take 2 or 3 bits and instantly get nauseous and pain but I try. I'm afraid I'm not losing weight but when I look in the mirror I can see progress. I go through bouts of a little depression because I'm afraid I will just start gaining weight again......but I am determined to make this work. Its nice already having my clothes fall off.

Hey we are basically sleeve buddies! I was sleeved on 10/27, don't worry you got this! We all have our days some days I will get on the scale and it has it moved some days it days...I'm just trying to be patient and trust the process.

I drink the premier protein shakes.

I was sleeved on 10/30 and I am so ready to be done with the blended diet. I go on 11/30 for the next phase! I eat scrambled eggs with a little pepper jack cheese; Oikos Zero yogurt; Premier Protein Chocolate, and drink about 56 ounces of water. I tried crystal light, but it actually made me crave sweets. I have been losing weight steadily, but actually had a stall the last few days!

I was sleeved on 10/31/17 - So far so good, though I struggle to get in the required protein. I know I need to plan my meals in advance, just need to sit down and actually do it!

I am doing 30 minutes or 2 miles on the elliptical machine, whichever comes first. I love it since it's a total body workout and so far I've had great results come out of it. Or days when I'm not really feelin' it or I have some slight pain on my right side, I just walk for 30 minutes on the treadmill.

I was sleeved on the same day!! Your progress is amazing!! When do you start on soft foods?

Just checking in to give an update on myself and see how the rest of the October sleevers are doing. I’m a little over 7 weeks post op right now and feeling amazing. I’ve been going to the gym on a regular basis and feel like I have much more energy for it now than I did before surgery. Food wise I feel I’ve been very lucky in that I really haven’t had any trouble with anything I’ve tried post op. I started this journey back at the beginning of June at a weight of 333lbs. The day of surgery I was 299lbs. My current weight is 252lbs which I am very happy with. I set a goal for myself after surgery to be below 250lbs by the end of the year and barring any crazy stalls I should be able to hit that mark with the few weeks I have left to reach it. Then after that it’s time to push on to my goal weight of 230lbs. All in all I’m 100% happy with my decision to make this life change. Yes there were days of doubt and times in the few weeks post op where I questioned what I had done, but I know in the long run I made the right decision and become more sure of that every day. Now if I could just hit the lotto so I could afford the whole new wardrobe I need I’d be all set lol.

I was sleeved on 10/26. I am down 38 lbs, I want to lose about 50 more lbs. I am 5' 9 1/2" ....... and this would put me at 175. Honestly, i think i would be happy to even just hit around 190. It'll be a big day when I hit 199.

I have promised myself a massage as a reward for getting under 200.
