Just keep going it will be worth it. I am 7 weeks out and had my doubts before and after but now I am happy with what I'v done. Good luck! Keep us posted

I have been trying different types of protein seafood goes down easier. but eating every 3 hours is about right I have been trying to work on this too. Its a new way of eating. I try to eat fruit more btw meals if its going to be longer. I stay away from carbs as much as possible.

You are not the only one that has second thoughts "What have I done?" I had that for several weeks. But now that I see the results I am very glad It did it. Friends are saying how young I look now, I'm 51 so that always lifts my spirits. Keep bloging it helps to have other support you. We know how you feel, You are not alone.

Yes my Dr advises to drink one a day at least. The protein is important to you don't lose muscle mass. As you know protein is the one thing that's hard to eat. I try to drink one in the morning first thing for breakfast.

I am only 7 weeks out and looking forward to getting under 200. I started at 258 I have purchased a few new clothes but am trying to refrain so I won't have to much to get rid later. My diet is is much less than yours I'm eating fruit for snacks and only meat and veggies for meals. We went out tonite and had an appietizer of scallops in wine sauce with bruchetta, First bread I have eaten since my surgery It was so good. The scallops went down so easy no overly full feeling that I get with other proteins. All in all very happy with my results.

I havent eaten any bread staying away from carbs. I stalled in weeks 3 and 4 but soon after the weight lose started again my Dr said this is normal. Be patient it doesn't happen over nite. Try not to weigh everyday. I had some bad days too got discuraged my Dr provides a good support system. A pschologist and nutritionist. Good Luck!

I am about 6 weeks out. No nausiea really. Able to eat want i want now losing about 2.5 lbs a week. Happy with that. Had a couple of lost weeds three and four, doctor said this is normal. I have found that pork is to dense to eat, beef (one of the better cuts) is good if rare, chicken is good but fish is the easiest to eat. I'm sticking with the low carb diet as best as i can it keeps me centered. I can still only eat about 2 oz. Liquid shake once a day. I need to excercise but my job is very demanding its hard to get motivated.

Weighed today lost another 2 lbs. Went shopping for the first time since surgery. I didn't go crazy just one outfit. But it really raised my spirts. My husband loved the transformation. It gave me the boost I needed. Had a pity party the other day not good. It is such a process to get through.

I did the same thing My doc calls the 3/4th week lost weeks he said your body is just getting use to the lower food intake I started losing weight again the following week.

Just wondering what the cost of all three would be? I am planning the same procedures when i reach my goal. Good Luck! Keep us posted.

Had the sleeve on Feb. 27, 2012 the surgery went well,(with the exception of the anasteisa). I, ve lost 20 lbs and am learning when to eat and how much. Very little nausia thank goodness. That being said I have had some really crazy mood swings, It's all in my head but I feel like I am missing out on things. I don't enjoy eating it's like a chore now what can I eat how much can I eat. Not to mention who is watching me eat. Has anyone else felt this way?

I had nausea for about 36 hours... But i always do after surgery the sleep meds make me sick. After that only a couple of times was i feeling sick. Just remember to take it slow and easy when drinking don't get in a hurry. I am 6 weeks out and sometimes I start to drink and have a big swallow in my mouth and remember .... i cant do this all at once...lol .. just got to slow down and focus.

Thanks for the feed back. Just needed to know I was not the only one that felt that way. My Doc sugested I start taking an antidepressant. I feel some better.

Before my surgery I never have heartburrn.. Now i really have to watch what I eat. previcet helps but it is what it is.

I like the weight ticker.

It will get better, I am 6 weeks out, and when I eat i get gas bubbles and have learned to burp quietly. you will figure it out

You are an inspiration... I can't wait to get where you are at.

I am 6 weeks post and have lost 15 lbs with minimum exercise my insision was not healing. You will lose the weight. If excercise alone would have worked you would not have needed the surgery. It is not a quick fix.

My Name is Cindy and am 6 weeks post surgury. I would like to know how this turns out with the ins co.
