November Sleever's how you doin?!

Well you go girl!! That is great! Is that 26lbs all post op?. We are in the same weight range! I'm down 24lbs from 11/9 your 11/29 and that is a great amount of weight in almost 3weeks!! Great job!! I also have dizzy spells! I believe it is from not getting enough fluids daily. Once I get enough fluids I find that they go away! Hope your feeling better!
I look forward to hearing from you at next weeks post!

Cheers

Hey all - I was sleeved on 11/28 and am now on full liquids. Never knew Trader Joes soups could taste so good! No problems so far; getting in all my fluids and 40 or so of protein. I kmow I will need lots more protein starting next week, buy np says fine for now. Lost 13 lbs pre- op and down about 12 since surgery. I am a little apprehensive about real food though. I dont seem to have a good feel for when I am hungry or when I am full.

well hello to you my dear friend!! Thank you very much!! I need this scale to start moving again..LOL I can't wait until you join us also!! Oh boy that pre op was hell on earth!!! Lucky for you one day that is a breeze!! My two weeks was beyond hard..The post op diet is much harder and takes much more self control!! Beware of that! It was soo difficult and I swear I cried because not eating and smelling food is just the hardest thing! You can do it!! I did it we all did it and it is finally your turn!! Keep me posted!!!

Shana!

Hi

I was sleeved on 11/15 and I am down 20lbs last time I got on the scale. I am still on full liquids. I have a Dr. appt. tomorrow and hopefully I progress to mushies and being able to exercise.
Have you heard of Isopure protein drinks? I was able to get the protein shakes down but I just got sick of them and switched to Isopure, easier to tolerant not thick like the shakes.
Continued success Nov. Sleevers

I have to try Isopure! How did your appointment go?! Glad to hear you are having much success!!

I look forward to hearing from you at next weeks post!

I was sleeved on nov 15 and doing well! I have lost 23 lbs since surgery, 32 total. I am still on mushies, but have a craving for salads (I've had a small salad on occasion with no issues). I spit up my multi vitamin no matter how hard I try to keep it down. My doctor suggested gummy vitamins, so I will give it a try. I was having trouble getting water and protein in (stuck feeling), but then realized drinking from a straw really helped. Weird!

I love these posts!  I was sleeved on November 16.  I am down 16.5 lbs since I started my preop diet, 35 total.  I was afraid I was losing really slow but it looks like I am right in the mix :)  Went to see the psycologist today and she said to keep my eyes fixed on my daily eating and new habits.  Protien, liquids, and healthy choices.  I am cleared for exercise tomorrow and am heading back to the pool.  She said if I focus on these things the weight will follow.  She said that focus and anxiety about losing  can really be a stumbling block for some of us.  So I just need to take care of the basics and see the weight come off .  Good luck to all the November sleevers!  We are on our way!!!

glad to hear you are having much success! Keep rocking that sleeve!!
I look forward to hearing from you at next weeks post!
