Any February Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 2/26 as well. Im at 19 pounds down. Im trying to eat around 800 calories a day. With 60 oz Water and 80 grams of Protein. Im getting around 7500 steps in a day. Not excersising yet. Most days calories are 650-700. Im happy, although every other day i have no energy at all. I think its directly proportional to my water intake.

Cheers

18 days post op here.

Is anyone else getting paranoid over the fact they can eat more now? :(

Yesterday was the very first day I was able to hit 500 calories and I am freaking out. I know it's illogical and I am being paranoid but I feel like it's too early for me to be able to eat that much comfortably. I know I have to eat even more in order to hit my Protein goals but as my weight loss is halting and my intake is up I am just feeling panicky.

I feel like I don't understand my sleeve at all, some foods go down with generous amounts, and some foods make me super full from two bites.

I feel like that's why the results of the sleeve differ from person to person, it's all about the food choices we make. It's tempting to pick stuff we can eat a lot of. There in lies the trap.

Exactly the same here. Solid Proteins are the only ting that gives me that physically full feeling.

But what I'm loving most about this surgery is an almost total lack of hunger. That is making it easier to make good choices. I was at a work event and had several buffet meals. I was able to skip past things I used to love (still love?) and go straight to the lean Protein. I just didn't have any real desire to eat, so the chicken was as appealing as the mashed potatoes. I'm really hoping that continues for a looooong while!

How’s everyone feeling. I was sleeved 2/15. I’m down 2 sizes and feel like I can take in more Water today than even this morning. I just had 12 oz of water in about 1 hour when before that would take several. Anyone struggling with purée (current stage) Or liquids are you starting to feel a little better ?

I am having the hardest time eating. Decided to stick to liquids for a bit longer. I feel like everything gets stuck between my chest while the food goes down. No bueno...[emoji24]

Everything's been going down really smoothly and I've been cleared to eat anything I can chew down to a paste! I've had the reduced fat triscuits with some tuna, olive oil, lemon, relish and black pepper. IT WAS TO DIE FOR. I MISSED FOOD!

It took only one triscuit (I originally put in a half serving of 3 lol), and less than 2 oz of tuna. I swear I don't recognize myself anymore.

23 days post op. Yesterday I had my highest ever calorie day, a whooping 800 calories! I felt like a pig LOL, and I was eating *all day* it's surprising what it takes these days when back in the day I'd still feel hungry after 2000 calories.

I won't make a habit of it, I feel like it's too soon to be eating 800 calories, but with the introduction of new foods, eating has been way easier. I won't count but I will try to stick to 600 calories, I have years of calorie counting and weighing foods under my belt so I sort of know what it looks like.

BUT GUESS WHAT! I broke through the stall! WHOOOSH 4 pounds in one go.

Total loss of 27.5 pounds in 22 days. :)

OK, so inquiring minds want to know: when did your stall start and how long did it last?

My stall lasted about a week (started mid week 3). Sometimes my weight went up, as well. I am now mid week 4.

I had my sleeve done exactly 1 month ago from yesterday. I am lucky if I can get 500 calories in. I have to rely on Protein Shakes to get my required amount. For me, I noticed that only moist foods go down well. Anything else kind of hurts going down and then I feel like it lays there like a rock. I always eat slow and I stop before I get that full feeling. I can't stand that feeling. I spread my Vitamins out through the day so I don't have to take so many at once.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
