I was sleeved nov 7. My nutritionist said one serving a day starting this week

When was everyone allowed to hit the gym? I'm ready but my doc said another week. Nov 7th was my surgery

Thank you everyone! Before the surgery I walked- not much, but with loosing what I have so far I have so much more energy and I want to work out. I am starting to feel like a deflated balloon in the stomach area. Trust me I have so much more to go, but I feel it. Also I want to work on my upper arms. I will wait until my doc says ok.....I am just ready to jump in head first ya know? I wanted my goal weight to be 140. My nutritionist today said I might want to make it 170. So I have decided to try to make it to 170 for summer.That is 13 lbs a month jan to june. I know its a reach, but its my goal and I really want to challenge myself. I do not want to get in the frame of mind that they surgery will do all the work for me. I am in the right frame of mind that this is a tool to help me loose weight, but I have to do my part also. I will listen to my Doc..I don't want to get hurt.

Wait I wrote I ate one cucumber! Make that one SLICE of cucumber. Lol !!!

Ok nov 7th was my surgery. Have lost 28lbs and very happy. I went to a nutritionist today and she basically said protein first...always eat it first. 3 oz of protein like tuna, chicken, beef...ect. Then eat what else is on your plate. Tonight I made the chicken parm cups - recipe on emilybites.com and spinach and cut up cucumbers. I had the chicken then a tablespoon of spinach and one cucumber. I was full ! I ate two hours ago and I'm still full. She also said do not drink 20 min before you eat and 20 min after. She wants me o have 60 g of protein, 20 g of fat and 60 to 70 g of carbs a day. No pasta, rice or bread. If I want a crunch she suggests rice crackers or wasa crackers Unjury unflavored protein powder can be added to oatmeal, cream if wheat Start. 277 today 248

I love black beans! I'll try that tonight. When was your surgery? My twins are 7. Boy/girl. The loves of my life!!!

I'm lost myself. I'm going to a nutritionist tomorrow who works with my doc and hopefully will have a better plan! My surgery was nov 7th. If I get some good info tomorrow I will post it! Right now I'm s sick of broth I can't even smell it! I have my liquid vitamins in the morning, then one egg white, protein shake for lunch, pudding for snack and a meatball for dinner. Then usually another protein shake. I think that I'm screwing this up so I can't wait to see this nutritionist tomorrow

You look great!! Congrats!!

My surgery was nov 7th. Today is a bad day..I am very hungry ! I had a protein shake and some soup. I even had a cracker with the soup I feel like when I have a protein shake it makes me more hungry!! Any suggestions for me? I

I will ask my nutritionist Monday and post her answers

I'm going to see a nutritionist on Monday and I can't wait! I just need a solid plan as to what I am to eat. I did all liquids the week before surgery then a week after. Second week was adding some puréed and cream based Soups. This week adding some ground meat and some macaroni. Now that I think about it I'm probably a once a week average with the bathroom. I think that if I was able to go maybe I would feel that I actually lost 30 lbs. stay tuned everyone! I will ask my nutritionist for some advice too !!

I was wondering if anyone is having issues with using the bathroom. I go maybe every 3-4 days. Should I be nervous. Should I be taking something. Call my doctor?

I was sleeved on Nov 7th. So far I'm down 30! I don't feel it but I am. I'm confused. I know docs have different guidelines, but my list shows this week I can have egg whites and 2 oz of ground meat. Is anyone allowed to do this?

New to this App and loving it ! So I went to my doc today and all good I was able to go to puréed foods this week. So for dinner I had two tablespoons of refried beans. Never thought in a million years two teaspoons of anything would ever fill me up!! What
