Congrats! I'm not far away from two-derland. I started at 377 on 11/15/2017 and I'm down to 317 as of yesterday.

Looking for some support here. I was sleeved 12/7/17, three weeks out today. These past few days I have been having the most difficult time emotionally and physically. I went back to work on the 24th, and was so fatigued; it was so busy at my job. The next night was even worse. And I'm so sick of this liquid diet. I knew what to expect going in to this but it's a lot harder to tolerate than I anticipated. I'm having my family over to dinner tomorrow, which means I've been cleaning house and planning a menu (which I can't touch!!) like mad. I'm missing food, and watching those around me eat is really bring me down! I feel like if I could just have some regular food (all I want right now is a couple slices of deli turkey and cucumber) I would feel so much better, but I can't. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Three weeks out, my plan is cool with a little turkey, a little bit of potatoes, some apple sauce, etc. Cucumbers not so much...need a few more weeks for those. But turkey cut very small and chewed very well is totally ok on my plan 3 weeks post. Deli turkey is so soft, I can't imagine why you couldn't have it. (that said, you should follow your plan) If I were still on protein shakes at this point, I'd be miserable. I'm glad to be eating 1000 calories a day. I feel human again. Also have great energy to exercise....which feels pretty dang good.

Best of luck in your surgery.. as far hair loss try biotin pills, take pills asap, I think it takes like a month to kick in... also keep track of your protein intake..as far as hair loss, dont panic, is not like you will end up like Bruce Willis. Take your biotine, meet your protein intake. you are almost there.. best of luck!

Nice numbers pal!! we had same HW number lol very impressed you lost significant Weight by your surgery day. Keep it going and never stop.. congrats in your success..

Congrats! And best wishes on a healthy effective procedure:)

Best of luck to you from me too. Money well spent, I think, when you remember you are buying your healthy life back!

My NUT says between 50-100 for me now but I'm almost a year out. Prior to 6 months she said as close to 45 grams a day as possible.

I’m also 3 weeks out and wl is super slow. I feel great but started to get concerned. I kept telling myself to trust the process and then I read this thread. It’s very reassuring. I’ll relax a little now and keep doing my thing. Kudos all and thanks for sharing

I think in some ways I have changed but who I am is still the same. I think the things that have changed are confidence and habits. Dealing with a slimmer body can be difficult to process. It has been for me. I didn't think it would. Two thoughts to pass on on that front. My doctor told me I needed to develop a new identity as an active "skinny" person. (I don't consider myself skinny but he was making a poont.) Counseling - I'm a big fan of c.b.t. and working through it. It is worth it though. It may be easy for you to accept the new package too.
