Oh wow. Thanks so much every1!

Thanks. I go to the gym for 45 mins 3X a week. I burn 550 calories each time

Glad to report I had my 6 month weigh in today (6 months isnt until 8/22 though) and I am down 85 lbs! I originally wanted to be down 100 lbs but oh well. Ill take it! Feeling great!

Thanks!

I am 6 months out and yes I am still drinking protein shakes! Never thought I wiuld be keeping up with it but I have! I was drinking Premier Protein from Costco but I jusy discovered Rockin Refuel made by Shamrock Farms! OMG it tastes jusy like chocolate milk! I drink 2 a day. 30 grams of protein, 190 calories 9 carbs and 6 sugars. This drink is my new best friend!

The ine im drinking only has 6 grams of sugar and 30 g of protein. They are lactose free!!

They are refrigerated! :-)

Where do u live?

Its a pre made drink. I bought mine from ShopRite. Some walmarts usually carry it

Hey everyone. I am 5 months post op and am down 80 lbs. I am going to the gym 3 times a week for 45 mins. I do the elliptical and burn 500 calories. I usually consume about 800 a day. Since im burning 500 calories do I need to imcrease the amount of calories I consume? I was hoping to have lost 100 lbs in 6 months and it seems like ive been plateauing :-( any advice??

Thanks so much! :-)

Does anyone else get a rapid heart beat/pulse after they eat? Idk why this happens!

I was just wondering how people are eating throughout the day. I am almost 5 months out and am down 80 lbs. I feel like am only losing about 2 lbs a week now. Was wondering if snacking between meals is ok or if we should strictly be having 3 meals? I usually have a protein shake in the morning and then some nuts or a piece of fruit in between and then some protein (chicken) for lunch and them a snack such as fruit or cheese in between lunch and dinner and them some sort of protein and veggies for dinner. Is this normal? Need help

So I am 4.5 months post op and down 80 lbs. Just curious how many calories daily I should be eating?! Any advice would be great :-)

Thanks guys. I feel like im plateauing a lot. Been going to the gym 3 times a week and doing elliptical 3 times a week burning 500 calories each time. Im eating enough protein. I need help lol

I will be 3 months post op on May 22nd and just this week I have noticed lots of my hair falling out. During the shower I have to clean the drain 2 times. I have lost 60 lbs and it hasn't even been a full 3 months yet. I make sure I am eating enough protein but obviously it's not enough. Any suggestions?!!

In down 55 lbs in 2.5 months ! Don't think that's too shabby!!

Does anyone know if the Zi Xiu Tang bee pollen supplements are ok to take post op sleeve???

Thanks so much guys! I hope illness down 75 lbs by month 4! The first 3 weeks were difficult for me because I was still very hungry. My body wasn't adjusted to everything yet. I also wasn't used to the portion sizes id be eating. I went out a couple times and my brain said I wanted more but my stomach and body said no. So it was awkward trying to get my brain and stomach on same page. Didn't take long though! Now just after a few bites I'm full and satisfied!

It's been great. I don't have any complaints really. The first 3 weeks post op were the worst but now I feel 100% normal. I can only eat a few bites of food and I'm full. I can eat whatever I want but to tell you the truth I don't get cravings for bad foods anymore. I got back to the gym and try to go 3 times a week. Hope the weight continues to come off just as quickly!

Yea you do. It seems like the scale won't move. But you get over that. 2 weeks ago I weighed in at doctor and I lost 36 lbs and now I lost another 10.

The last 2 weeks the scale as been my best friend. It just has been going down the last two weeks. I felt like it wasn't budging 2 weeks ago. On Friday it will be 8 weeks since my surgery. I have lost 45 lbs so far! I am assuming that is about normal. I hope I continue to lose like this the next few weeks!

Today was my 6 week post op visit with the DR. Friday will be 6 weeks since my surgery. I am down 36 lbs. I can't complain. I wish it was more like 50, but I'll get there soon! I feel great and I have dropped almost 2 sizes in my pants!

Thanks guys! I've been doing the elliptical at the gym and to tell u the truth it seemed like I gained instead of lost! I'm not gonna go crazy going so often

I am a little over 1 month post op. I have lost about 30 lbs so far. The past couple weeks I've only lost a few pounds. To me 2 or 3 lbs a week is slow considering I'm eating so few calories. Any suggestions how to speed up the weight loss ?!
