Good luck and a speedy recovery to you both! 😁

Three months out from surgery, if you log food, you know that you are eating your weight loss calories and getting your protein goal in each day. (Guessing my calories and goals never worked for me) Stop with the sensation of full. Some people have great surgery restriction. It may take more time or breaking up your meals to frequent intervals to hit your calories/macros. Stalls happen. I had my first major stall my third month. It messed with my head. I had to evaluate how I was working my plan. I was slacking off on activity/exercise. Some advice I had from vet’s and a trainer. Don’t do the same type of exercise over and over. Mix things up to get the scale moving. Here is a link to embrace the stall. It help me figure some things out. https://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/351046-embrace-the-stall/

I am a couple days away from 4 months post op. Best thing I have ever done for myself. The changes physically, mentally and in my health in 4 short months is nothing short of amazing. I wish you all the best and a quick healing. There will be some tough spots but keep looking ahead. It will all pass. Keep us posted!

Your pharmacist may be able to answer that too.

Ok so.... just wanted to post this. Our nutritionists say we can’t absorb more than 25 g of protein in one sitting. Just wanted to throw that out there, but if you’re drinking that shake all day I’m sure it’s ok.

This was a concern of mine too. Especially on the Facebook bypass support groups I was on. They were saying that 25% of sleevers end up getting converted. Yikes! But you can’t believe everything you read on the internet and so I went looking for more reliable sources of information - namely medical studies. Sorry I didn’t save the links so you can read them for yourself but I have screenshots of the information I wanted: As you can see, the numbers are actually quite small! So don't feel you have to worry about getting a revision - statistics are in your favor!

That's GREAT! Way to go!

@cristobal you are doing soooooo great!! as far as being Mr. Cheap!!😉 - check out thrift shops et al, not too expensive as you loose weight, you NEED/must buy new clothes - otherwise they will fall off you!!
