Any March 2018 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts


There are several different types. It’s flavored water infused with Protein. I know that premier has premier clear, there’s protein2o and this is the one that I like the best. It has 20 grams of protein in 16 ounces. IMG_3225.JPG.70ac5603923dc90001fe52a1bb158b69.JPG

MyFitnessPal is excellent.



I do use MyFitnessPal currently but I’m looking for something with a timer to remind me about Vitamins etc

Baritastic is a very good app. Journal, track Water, Protein or meals, timer tracking weight and measurements etc

Thanks for the reminding me about the Baritastic app, I remember hearing about it in the support group I attended at the Center for Obesity. I am definitely gonna try it, because I am doing a terrible job of tracking my Fluid intake. I think I am getting enough but I am never finishing anything and I've got Water bottles, Protein water bottles, and Protein Shakes that I intend to finish at varying levels of fullness leftover in the fridge.

I have never been good at tracking but i feel it is absolutely necessary for success. I’m doing my best to track everything. I find this app very helpful.

I am doing 2 Premier Protein shakes a day (breakfast and afternoon snack), plus a half cup of Soup for lunch and another for dinner.

Hi all,

I've been reading for a while, but decided it was time to break down and make my own account... I was sleeved on 3-7. Overall, things are going well. I have had very little pain or gas, and I have been able to advance my diet better than I expected. The biggest issues for me have been two fold: 1- sweet food tastes terrible! I hate the Protein Shakes, sugar free products, pudding, Jello - all of it! It all tastes too sweet and like chemicals. I force myself to gag down a Protein Shake in the morning but that is really all I can do. I have been getting the rest of my Protein from pureed eggs, chicken, cottage cheese and tuna. Thank goodness those have gone down well. I met my protein goal for the first time yesterday, which is okay with my surgeon, who wants the first weeks' focus to be liquids. 2- I am so tired! I have read lots of posts and know that is normal, but it is killing me. I just want some stamina back!

6 days and counting until surgery.... It has been great being able to read everyone's post and hearing how things have been going for those that have recently had surgery. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. My anxiety sometimes gets to rule my nerves right now :)

Thank you to everyone who has been able to take the time with updating how things are going, it definitely helps those who have surgery dates coming up.

I'm getting my surgery on the 22 of March. I'm so excited after having to fight with my insurance company for 3 weeks & I thought it wasn't going to happen. I'm actually getting the sleeve after having the band for a few years & it was removed this past summer. The band didn't work at all for me. I'm nervous about the sleeve working, but I'm very excited to finally get it done. I'm struggling with the liquid diet. I'm hungry & I can't keep drinking these shakes! There's got to be something else I can have! Good luck with your surgery!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
