alovio

not really much, tops a 1/2 cup of anything. Anymore than that makes me feel like when i use to go to buffets. But your right mushie foods are much easier. Havent tried fish yet. I think my biggest problem is knowing when I am full.

I hit my hundred last week, now working on my next 100......i was sleeved on 4/20

its normal i lost about 2 pounds per day first week, then you'll hit a stall in two weeks, good luck.....dont forget to walk alot its good for you

you look great, and much happier

So today is my one month post op, I was sleeved on 5/20. First let me throw some numbers at you. 6 months ago I wieghted in at 458. I lost 68 pounds getting ready for surgery, mostley by calorie counting. on 4/20 I was sleeved my weight was 390. Today I am weighting 358, lost 32 pounds in first month. First of all I have been pushing myself. In the morning before work I walk/jog 3.5 miles before work. And then after work I try and do 1 hour of cardio. So far its worked for me. When i started this journey I was wearing a size 58 pants, today my friends that also had sleave gave me some hand-me-downs to wear because my clothes are getting baggy. I couldnt beleave a size 48 fit me good. WOW!!! Made my day, starting to really like the way I look again and i feel 100 times better than last year at this time. Really excited about the future in a really long time. Just feeling grateful and happy, havent had that feeling in a long time. Just to give you a sample of what i eat , never more than 1/2 cup of food. And beleave me I have gotten sick my share of times. I Am I have 1/3 cup of egg whites with a slice of ham. mid morning I have my premier shake. for lunch usally a soup or a 1/2 cup of beans. then next few hours I take down Isopure drink. then after gym I make myself a shake with frozen fruit and frozen veggies with whey powder protein. I think key to my success is the walking and cardio. I am walking/jogging about 15 miles a week. I havent jogged in 15 years. It amazes me that i can jog. Life is good. Everyone good luck dont mean to brag but hopefully motivate. Walking is the key people. I feel like the weight of a teenager is off my back

WE WERE SLEEVED SAME DAY, I HAVE LOST 20 POUNDS SO FAR. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS I AM WALKING 3.4 MILES IN MORNING BEFORE WORK. AND THEN AFTER WORK I DO AN HOUR OF CARDIO AT GYM. I HAVE ABOUT 2 OUNCES OF EGG WHITES FOR BREAKFAST AND A PREMIER SHAKE FOR MID MORNING (30G PROTIEN) FOR LUNCH USALLY A SOUP. TEH I DRINK A ISOPURE ZEROCARB DRINK (40G PROTIEN) TAKES ME ABOUT 2 HOURS TO DRINK. AFTER GYM I GO HOME AND MAKE MYSELF A PROTIEN SHAKE WITH FRUIT AND FROZEN VEGIES. REALLY NEVER HUNGRY, MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IS KNOWING WHEN I AM FULL. GOOD LUCK WALK MORE THATS MY BEST ADVICE

ha ha, do you know how many customers tell me same thing. i tell themthat the big is not for my waist line but for size of my heart. thats so awsome your mom was a barber , my daughter is also a really good barber. thanks agai i will add you as a friend

ha ha.....noticed that beer thats actually a before pic sometime last year. Although I havetried a beer didnt work foamed up in my sleeve so i have given up alchol for a while. But you right its the single best thing I have ever done for myself. No regrets. I would recommend this to anyone who has had issues with wieght problems.

i lost 65 lbs getting ready for surgery. like you i had second thought considering i lost 65 maybe i could continue loosing and do it on my own. But i have been overwieght most of my life and had'nt done it yet. Always going up loosing 50lbs then gaining back 60. I am only 1 month post op but have absolutley no regrets it is a big change you WIL NOT be able to eat same amounts of food. you will be amazed how fast you will be full. The hardest thing for me so far is knowing when i am full, usally too late. in my mine i am still that fat guy overfilling my plate. But I am down 32 lbs since April 20. I am starting to like the way I look again. The pain was only about 10 % of what i expected. So have no regrets you can do this you will love what you look and feel. Good luck

Itested positive for pylori cause it sets you back 45 days, first you have to take antibiotics for 15 days and then wait 30 days before you can retest. Just be patient sounds like its gonna happen. You might test negitive too. I knew I was gonna be positive because I had ulcer bleeding before but it is important to treat.good luck

friday will be a month for me, i am eating mostley mushies. anything soft. I tried some chicken on mothers day and it didnt sit well, came back up. Ive tried a lot of different things and have gotten sick a few times. hardest thing for me is knowing when i am full. but i have lost 30 ponds since surgery, must be doing something right, I am walking/jogging 3 miles in morning before work and 1 hour cardio at gym after work. I wanna start lifting weights but going to wait two more weeks, good luck mashed potatoes and chili beans are great try them

Well last night i slept pretty well, went to sleep with my cpap machine but must have taken it off at night. Woke up real early at about 630 felt a bit disconfort. Yesterday i did liquids all day motly water and 1/2 bottle of isopure took my chewable vitamin. So this morning went for an early morning walk not long maybe 1/4 mile, woke up with lots of gas walk seem to help. came home started on another bottle of isopure grape flavor not to bad when cold. but i only take 1/2 ounce sips. I am using a 1 ounce cup they gave me at hospital. I also had 1 ounce of gello and my chewable vitamin. Then i took a nap. woke up pretty well took my first shower since operation felt great. then went on another 1/4 mile walk. Right now i feel real good. Gonna start on other half of isopure bottle this time fruit punch. im gonna have some chicken broth for lunch. but really not hungry strange because i am a food guy. taking it easy but feeling really good. Ill keep you posted later today see if i feel different.

i took mine with but nurse said that i didnt have to use it. with help of morphine pump i selpt like a baby first night. take it with you just in case. But i never used mine. Back at home i still continue to use it daily

you'll be fine, I am 10 post op. First week you wont want to eat just drink. I remember day of surgery I was hungry. I rmebr thinking im gonna wake up hungry, that wasnt the case, I woke up in pain the first 45 minutes after surgery are the worst because of nausea and gas but after its piece of cake. Rigt now i am on mushies so nothing solid , its funny how 1/2 cup of soup fills me up and makes me feel satisfied. dont worry eventually you can eat all favorite foods just at a smaller amounts. good luck and remember you making right choice for a healthier longer life.

im 8 days post op i had chili, I put in a blender and liquified it. tastes same delicious

today i made turkey chili beans, but im only 7 days post op. so i blenderized them to a puree. man oh man yummy. plus its great protein turkey and beans. i can only have half a cup but it filled me up.

your not suppose to eat anything, just drink. i hated chicken broth so i put a can of campells chicken noodle soup in blender and liquified it, yummy. popsicles were easy for me. I seem to like cold liquids more than warm liquids. you'll get better i am 7 day post op today, just remember if you crave something dont do it you'll get sick . let your sleeve heal. good luck .....oh walk walk walk......i am walking six miles a day as of today good way to release the gases

late snack i have a suger free gelatin, only 5 calories, 6 days post op.........matter of fact just had one

I don't mean to brag but I feel really good today. I have been doing good with my protiens yesterday took down 1 1/2 bottle of isopure and you know not to taste but with ice chips really cold not so bad. Had trouble with chicken broth tasted like sh*t, so I took a can of cambells chicken noodles soup and liquified it in blender it was so good. I also have been walking about 5 miles a day broken up to four diff walks. This morning I moved stage two had a premier choclate shake that was really good cold, also had some plain cream of wheat not bad I added two splenda for flavor. Right now I feel a bit hungry but will have another chicken noodles when I get home, I only took about 4 oz of soup with small spoon. Felt full afterwards. I have lost 15 pounds since surgery on 4/20. And 79 since Nov. Looking toward to moving to mushies next week. I think I will go back to work a week from today. I am a barber so need to stand all day but I feel ill be ready by next week. Hope everybody is doing well also.

Also just noticed you and I share june 1 as a birthday, of course I am a lot older,what makes it stranger as your 2nd person today that i met that share that bday, just freaky......good luck on your upcomming surgery if you have any questions feel free to to ask.
