Just thought I would check in and give you all a progress report. Had my surgery on April 22, 2013 When I went to my first doctor's appointment I weighed 248 Today I weigh 195... It has been a rocky road. . Before the surgery I use to drink a ton of water..now it seems like I can't get my 8 glasses down and I don't get all my protein in a day. I get maybe 40/50 grams a day. I try. I still don't eat any breads or pasta (unless it is a lean cuisine) no pop.. no fast food.. no beer. I can tolerate EVERYTHING. .and I wish I didn't ..that scares me a little.

I am having a hec of a time with all of this ... I am having so much trouble ... I found a protein bar at Target that has 20 grams in it? What do you think? I have gotten maybe two bites down...

When were you able to do Zumba..or sit ups. Maybe join a softball team.. I am over Two Months out and I want to do more but kinda scared. .. I am walking

I am around 8 weeks and at 40 pounds (including pre-op)....

3333 ...what do you eat then? I am 53 days out and I can just about tolerate everything. .WAIT I tried pork yesterday. .. and I had the worse HEART BURN ever..and felt sick. So I think I will stay away from that for awhile.. all I pretty much eat is meat... chicken.. yogurt...eggs..protein shake here and there... it is still hard for me..I did bring a protein bar this morning to work..gonna give it a shot.

Good Question. ..

Congratulations 123... so exciting to hear. Do you work out alot.

They say 64oz... 4 water bottles . I am having a horrible time getting it all down. I am about 3 bottles.. my surgery date was April 22nd... working on it..it is hard

Do the sleevers..and bypassers loose more weight than the plicaters?

I went in today for my month check up actually it is 5 weeks and he called me his special patient. .. because of my pain tolerance. .. he assured me my surgery was flawless...and it is just a super tight stitch. He said he is glad he did not do a bypass on me (I was thinking in my head ..dude that was never an option) he also said I was doing better than his bypass patients regarding weight loss. I am down about 20 pounds since surgery date and 31 since I started this entire process. I am not sure if I am on schedule. Am I really gonna lose 20 a month? I am finally almost at 3 bottled waters. I am working hard on the protein. . Eating Tuna yogurt eggs and drinking slim fast high protein. I have had a couple Smart Ones.. I can only get about half of it down. Oh I am trying to eat a protein bar now... (not feeling it) I do find that i am getting hungry every 2/3 hours and that kinda freaks me out.I am feeling better. .everyday... I finally went on a walk a few blocks and back.. and I feel good ..tired but good. Sorry I am rambling.

I was just curious on what I can expect...since I feel my doc. Pretty much stretched the TRUTH about everything .... especially the pain . Lol... yeah I am still a little bitter..lol

Wow.. only 2oz that don't seem like enough at all. I can do at least a cup or so..but I am getting hungry every 2 hours on point.. it is very strange..

I am going to try them again. I am not getting near what I should be. It is so had to keep track.

I am a month out too.. and still working on getting more than two bottles of water down day..it is hard.. and protein I am getting better.. I know it doesn't sound very good ..but for dinner I had a can of tuna with an hard boiled egg in it.. that was 24 grams of Protein right there.. greek Yogurt is I think l4 grams... keep trying... that is what I do... oh in the morning I will eat 2 soft boiled eggs that is |2 grams of Protein. .

Oh no... so sorry to hear this .I am not at ten weeks..and I never feel like vomiting. .may something your eating? What is your typical diet in a day

Are you able to get all your water in... I am stuck on maybe 40 oz a day.. I want to keep loosing... ! Are you doing any exercising yet? Today is a month since my surgery. .I still am taking pain medication daily and just starting to feel better.. it has been a tuff month for me.. I still am very weak and feel exhausted by the time I get home after work. I want this to pass ! I want this burst of energy everyone talks about.

What exactly is the second one?

I am still in pain. Did any if you go thru this? I went back to work on Monday..and sitting is horrible. I think I am scrunched in the chair... so when I get home I have to lay straight flat with an ice pack on my tummy.. for a while. I still cant reach or bend down. I honestly didn't know recovery would be like this ..oh am eating I am not even sure if I am doing to less too much.. This week I would have Yogurt (breakfast) Protein Shake (lunch) & I will may boil 2 soft eggs (dinner) or a can of cream soup I will drink water all day.. I can get maybe 2 bottles a day down. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IF I AM ON TRACK... IS WHAT I AM DOING NORMAL. ..TOO MUCH ...TOO LESS. I feel lost... and honestly getting depressed. ..thanks ..TC

Thanks... how are you doing? How is your diet..

Hi 123... I am better..still not 100% but I am moving around faster and not wincing everytime I get up. Still not comfortable sitting at my desk but I am adjusting and I am taking a half of pain pill at work so it is helping me. ... tomorrow will be a month out.... I am about 20 pounds down but do not feel it much... still stuck on 2 bottle waters and maybe 40 grams of Protein. .but trying every day..

Yea..you might have a hard time finding a doctor to do it... hopefully someone will reply... but this website does NOT get to much action. .

What is your diet like? Do u feel like your eating too much.... I stayed the same for awhile. .but I have been very uncomfortable since I went back to work and sit all day. I am still not that hungry and am not drinking all my water or getting my protein down.. maybe half of what they want me to do... I am frustrated also...but each day is getting better for me..

Is a 30 considered ... obese? I am not sure...

Is a 30 considered ... obese? I am not sure...

Thanks 123... it has been very hard...physically and mentally. .. I go to work..come home and have to put ice packs on my tummy. Were you exercising at this point yet? I am so tired and feel so week by the time I get home from work..it is horrible...
