How are fellow March sleevers doing?

I’m up and around and feeling fine. I sure am hungry, though. Real, not head hunger. I’m averaging 90 G Protein and 600 calories. Down 11 lbs since 4/19.

I have felt pretty great this week. As far as hunger goes, some days very hungry in my head. Other days, 3PM rolls around and I remember I better get a shake in. Down 12 pounds since 3/9. Weight loss kind of stalled for a few days but have a feeling its due to constipation:(

I'm doing ok,down 28 pounds since surgery on 3/5...just ready to be 2,3 etc months post op so that the discomfort with eating and drinking gets better

Two days out. Doing ok. Still nauseated when trying to drink. I have real hunger as well but it is not overpowering at all.

That’s awesome!! Woo hoo!!!

3 days out and doing ok. I was able to finish a Protein Shake today, though it took an hour and a half. No chance of me meeting my 64oz goal but I continue my sips.
How long until I can get on the scale and see all of this surgery bloat and Water weight gone? I GAINED 7 lbs from the surgery, which I understand is mostly bloating due to the swelling. But when will I see the number slide back down?? A week post-op or longer?

3 Weeks out as of yesterday. On Puree stage now. Started work again on Monday and everything is good minus feeling dead tired by the end of the work day. 2 shakes plus a little Protein like yogurt, cottage cheese. My goal is about 90g of protein and my 64oz of Water. Besides that, all is good and getting in about 2 miles of walking in the late evening.

No. That was my starting weight back in may of last year from talking to my PCP about surgery. Surgery day I was 306 so 20lbs in 3 weeks.

Phew, I was thinking that is a really high bar for me to measure against. Thank you for the reality check.

Feeling good today! Still feel like I need an afternoon nap. Back to work on Monday.

Heyyy March 7 here feeling as we one except constipated hahaha but no pain I’m getting my Protein and Water in down 28 lbs

[ElseeG 67]

OMG! That’s awesome!!! Out of curiosity, how much Protein and cals are you getting in? I’ve been stuck at 11 for several days. I average 650 cals and 90 protein.

I'm feeling great. Don't have any real issues with food - except I cannot tolerate eggs in any form....which makes me sad. Down 30lbs but have had an impacted colon twice! On Miralax but not always helpful. I have not had any issues moving from phase to phase. Start "regular" foods tomorrow! I was sleeved on 3/7.

I'm feeling pretty good! My surgery was March 12th and I'm down 30 pounds. Still a little bit sore when trying to sleep but not too bad.
