Today 3 weeks ago I had my sleeve done. Im down 24 lbs! What does everyone think about eating sunflower and pumpkin seeds.,i was on a stall and after eating them one day off and on bc I felt hungry I lost 2 lbs the next day. I know they are high in salt but besides that they have lots of iron and protein. You have to chew them real good and it takes time in between each one bc you have to crack the shells. Just wondering if its something I should be eating?

That's great! Hearing this gives me encouragement. Im 3 weeks in and down 23lbs.. I was ur same size when started.

I had my sleeve done on sept.21 so I’m a little over 2 weeks in. I have days that i wake up with tons of energy then about 3 or 4 hr in I’m crashing... I mean I don’t have any energy at all. I’ve only lost 22 lbs in the first week. I didn’t lose anything last week or this one so far. I know I’m not eating right. I have found carbs are so much easier to go down and I can’t seem to eat without drinking. One other thing Im eating that I shouldn’t is potato chips. I was so hoping that was one of the things I would lose a taste for. It’s just they are so easy to go down. If you chew a few times it’s like eating mashed potatoes. Lol… Getting my protein in is a struggle also. I love coffee so I bought some instant flavored coffee mix and I put a couple table spoons of chocolate flavored protein powder in. I read this blog almost every day to see what everyone is experiencing. Some of you say eating is a chore and I so agree with that. I hate the fact I struggle with food. Any thoughts, advice,prayers or scaring me into eatting right will be helpful! everyone have a blessed and great day!

I have been in a funk for the last few days. I have had no energy. I am starting to think I’m doing something wrong. I have lost 22 lbs. so far and I’m 10 days post op. I will be getting rid of my first clothing item I can’t wear anymore! The sleep shorts I wore last night kept falling off when I walked around. What are some of you doing to keep your energy level up? I might not have any energy due to I can’t sleep at night. I just can’t seem to get comfortable. On Saturday night I did have miss hap with me drinking some crystal light. I was very thirsty and without thinking I picked up the bottle and chugged. Next thing I knew it all rushed back up it was coming out my nose and everything. My nose hurt for the rest of the night. It seems I’m more thirsty than hungry.

Im 6 days Post-op today and I am feeling really good. For the first time I hate something besides a liquid. I ate chicken noodle soup. It went down really well and didn’t hurt like when I was eating just broth. Because I had my surgery in Mexico and I don’t have a dr to follow up with I feel like I’m using this forum as my post op care and diet. Is there a diet online maybe with choices of foods I can eat? When you start soft foods can you eat anything soft? When I saw I have a 20 lbs. loss I was very excited this morning. I woke up with very little back pain: which my doctor told me before it was weight related. Looking forward to being all healed up so I can enjoy doing things with my children again.

I am 5 days post op and down 17 lbs. I am having a terrible time sleeping. I can’t seem to get comfortable. I have an aching in the middle of my upper back. Is that normal? I do well getting my water and protein down. Every time I drink some broth I have terrible stomach pain. I had had my sleeve done is Mexico so I have no dr here to let me know if what is going on is normal. Im relying on what I read.
