Was wondering what amount of fat grams should your daily intake be?

Would it not stretch out your sleeve?

How would each of you celebrate your birthday?

Thank you for those words! I'm doing good not to compare but sometimes it's hard! Ya know though , when I begin to get discouraged I think how lucky I am n then things begin to look up! I'm excited! I'm happy bout my new lil sleeve! At doctors appointment I was 20 lbs down in 18 days! Guess I can't complain that bad! R u on my fitness pal?

M 17 days post op! From previous posts I stated I was at a standstill and a little discouraged, I haven't got on the scale but once in 4 days but man it's been hard! Still no lbs down but I'm bring patient! You know I see a lot of patients have suffered from nausea and I haven't got sick one time! It seems most do - Im not complaining I just wondered what was different - why they did ? Not eating right? Too much?? Not enough? Then... I don't want to stretch my stomach out! I am only eating 400-540 calories a day and 50 oz of water - could you? I don't want too!

I am so in! My #'s - SW-266lbs CW- 236.5 GW- 216.5 Total loss by challenge date - 20 lbs Also track all my intake daily my fitness pal! Drink 45-50 oz of water Protein- 45-55 g per day let's do this

What is this were talking about!?

Need friends on fitness pal "snkems333"

Surgery on the 18th of June...lost 18...gained 5 lost 2 ... Now At a standstill ughhhh I'm starting to ask myself am I going to loose anymore??

I see my surgeon on Thursday! What if he's disappointed in me? Ugghhh

What could those 3 meals be? Protein or Jello?

Im gonna add a protein drink that's sounding good for mid afternoon snack! I guess I'm not eating enough - does anyone write down what they eat daily? I need some tips! btw thanks for all the encouraging words!

Why is there weight gained ? I'm not understanding? I barely eat! Example today protein shake breakfast salmon for lunch 3 bites nibbled on salmon for dinner theme 2 bites of spam & 62 oz of water what's wrong with that

Was sleeves on 6.18.12 and only 18 lbs lost! Is that normal? Shouldn't I be loosing more! Can someone tell me how their diets are going? What do they consist of? I am not sure I'm doing things right!

Before I was 253 ... Will update results

Could some of you help me with a meal plan for Phase 2 . I need to put myself on a schedule but have no where to begin ! What r y'all doing?

Oh wow! I needed to hear that! I'm not going to lie and say I've not been discouraged because I have - don't know why it's not just falling off! I've done good today I've not weighed at all! Ty for your advice and words! Glad your okay! How did u find out you had a leak?

MamaM did u have the band b 4

Thanks! Kamrie be patient it will come!

Thanks Dorrie! I have to make myself drink but I'm doing better like stated in precious post! Now to get the protein! What kind of proteins are y'all eating or drinking

@ Star- thanks for the encouragement and thoughts - I guess your right - weights never dropped that much before! I just moved out of liquids I'm able to incorporate flakes fish and puréed meats in and eggs with cheese. Phase II is where I am! I did have some peanut butter yesterday too just 2 oz all day! I guess I do need to drink more yesterday was 1st day I was able to get 40 oz of liquids in which is amazing - n 29 g of protein ! Hopefully I will keep up with those like I should

Well I have heard the heavier you are the quicker you will loose - I don't know how true that is but a friend of mine was 330 and now 4 months later is 79 lbs down! I was 248 morning of surgery an now am 230 . I just thought it would come faster I thought 25-30 lbs 1st month is an average for sleevers . I haven't lost in 4 days ( which there are some factors - where miralaX is needed) so that maybe triggering the standstill .

I'm close to you as far as days are concerned today is day 13 for me and honestly I am suppose to still be on liquids which I am, however I have ate some liquid mash potatoes and kidney beans mushed up! All it's caused me is problems (constipation) so follow what your surgeon has advised, he knows what's best ! I have tried to test the waters and it's not worth it until he allows you to move forward!

I'm 12 days out and I've lost 16.5. I went in weighing 253 and I'm now 236.5! I know I shouldn't be frustrated but the last 3 days the scale has stayed the same! I'm not to the puréed state yet but I know for sure I'm not getting all the liquids I need in - could that play a factor I don't know! You've lost 9 lbs in 9 days that's great! Rejoice in your success it will all work we jut have to be patient! U can do it

This is such a great post! Ty
