September Sleevers Update

[Nikki T 708 3]

How are the September Sleevers out there doing? I had mine on 9/28/2020 and am down 28lbs. I still have pain with every bite or drink I take and am still drinking a lot of Protein Shakes. One day at a time....

Sorry to hear about your pain. I had mine on 9/16 and I've had hardly any problems at all. I'm currently down 39lbs and am feeling pretty good.

I'm doing fine (surgery on 9/21). Down 19 since surgery and 56 total, so feeling good about my progress. I have been pushing a bit too fast with eating foods I probably shouldn't, but my body lets me know right away. If I stick to the plan, I feel OK, other than being tired a lot. I'm over halfway to my goal, so I'm anxious to get there.

I didn't do the puree, I did liquid then soft, a lot of scrambled eggs and cottage cheese. I'm still going shakes as well. I did notice when I did cream of wheat it thickened up and really hurt. I have to make it really runny.

I'm slowing down on the weight loss as well but from what I read on here that's normal.

Hope that you're all doing well today.

I'm scheduled for 11/6. I'm wondering when you say that it hurts to swallow, is it at the throat or as the food drops down and travels through the esophagus? Any details are appreciated.

My doctor has me on a liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery, so that is why I'm at the weight loss I'm at. Don't compare yourself to anyone else, it will drive you crazy. Just know you are doing what's best for you and look at every pound loss as a win. You got this! [emoji3590]
