3/29 sleever stall



Recommended Posts

That's it, this is a day's worth in the life of Redhead [emoji14] I drink my 16 oz (or 8 oz if it's the cookie flavor) of Water in my shake, then from like, 8am-10am I've finished another 24 oz. And from around 12:30-3 I'm working on the next 24 oz. Finish whatever I still need to at home after dinner and typically before 8pm. I keep a Water on my nightstand if I get thirsty in the night, but try not to break into any food or liquid after 8. This is pretty average for me. It's pretty low Fiber so sometimes I supplement, sometimes I don't. My pipes run smooth enough so to speak so I don't worry about it a lot. I haven't seen the nutritionist since like, a month post op, but she said "it's not really about calories, it's about your macros" so if I meet my Protein (the one I worry about) in less than 400 calories and feel full, I'm chill.

Cool, never any hunger etc? when's the next time you see the NUT? Can you ask if everyone is low cal in your program and until when. I'm interested in knowing where everyones programs want them. Mine has me at 1000 cals. Also is synthrax fruity or milky?

Not really--Snacking was never on my surgeon/nutritionist plan they gave me so I never snacked. So I guess my body was trained or knows to expect food in the AM, lunch, and dinner and that's it. I don't see then nutritionist again unless I want to, which I don't (would have to pay for it, not included in my surgery). I think my program's average calories as it said in my binder was 800-1,000 a day or less once you reach 8weeks out. I just happen to meet it in less than that and so far no consequences. I have my yearly already scheduled so we'll see what they say about it then.

Syntrax has both types. The Fuzzy Navel is fruity, tastes like orange juice to me. The cookie flavor I have is better with almond milk if I have it and that'll taste milky, maybe too sweet for some but I like it.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
