That's the kind my parents have lol I just don't want to throw a number out there and then Find out its not true.

I am getting lightheaded when standing but I have a feeling that's due to my low intake

I'm waiting to say how much I've lost. My parents scale is registering a number that I'm not sure if I trust. How's the diet?

Me!!! Hi!

I'm 5'4, 302 surgery weight

1/2 cup cottage cheese went down smoothly for me too. From what I've heard restriction starts for solids

I'll keep you in my prayers. Please let us know how you're doing. Everything will go great : )

I'm in! Weight day of surgery 11/26: 302.5 I'm not sure i trust what my scale is registering as my current weight. I'll double check and post! Goal by 12/25: 275

So cottage cheese for dinner. I'm almost 4oz in, a half cup. And not full... When to stop?

Sent a request.

What's yours? I'm sipping on 0 cal Powerade fruit punch diluted with Water YUM!!!

That's great to hear. I was getting a little concerned lol

Cottage cheese went down great, I am now soooo full. Like I feel extra full. Once again dinner is skipped : ( oh well. I'm trying my protein with a half a banana tomorrow. Maybe I'll walk to the store and buy different protein? Lol who knows.

Yeah, I'm not full at all. Well, overly so. Well, now I'm full. I feel as though my hunger is returning. As the days to by i am feeling it more. This sucks. Maybe I should stay away from cottage cheese. Seems like a slider

About 45 minutes. Is that okay?

Didn't menstrating the day of suck? Happened to me too : ) I'm curious for the answer to this as well

I'm gonna try a new protein. 1/2 c is all I can stand of mine

Hi all, I was just sleeve Monday 11/26. I am 4 days post op and am looking for any advice you can give me. I get so full so easily. I was looking forward to soft queso fresco for lunch that I cut off an oz and left the cheese on the counter CONVINCED I would need to cut off more. I got a little under half way through and even that was pushing it. I am ridiculously full still and I ate this over an hour ago. : ( I love cheese but : ) restriction. Any advice on how to survive the first few weeks? I am on soft foods and am drinking optimum nutrition 100% soy Protein. My dad is concerned that I am not eating much, he is the one who bought the cheese specifically to encourage me to eat more. Any advice for Water intake? I can get in about 20 oz and 6 oz protein in a day. And any advice for walking? I am perhaps lazy but I just do laps in my house and get tired so fast. And I break a sweat so fast as well. Thanks for the help!!!!

I know what you mean. If I hadn't run into so many problems trying to get time off from work, not that many people would know. Having HR tell me that it's an "elective and unnecessary surgery" prompted me to move past them and go directly to supervisors, managers, and general managers. All of whom petitioned for my time. Otherwise it would have been just close family and like 4 friends. People always hate, it's human nature. So why put yourself out there to receive that? I'll be happy to say I had WLS when I'm at goal. But while I'm still struggling to learn about myself and my new anatomy, I'm on "a diet and exercise"

Had mine 11/26 I am barely beginning to be able to roll on my side with a pillow underneath. It'll get better

Tell them you ate something bad the night before and have had the runs ever since. That you wanna take it easy so nothing too heavy. If they push you to eat, play with it for a few minutes, then excuse your self and go to the rest room. Hang out there for 5-10 and come back and say you think your stomach is acting up so you'll stick to Gatorade.

I was just about to start a thread for a similar problem. I'm 6 days out and can drink a cup of miso broth no problem. Water is easy too, protein is the only thing that gets stuck

Drink water too. Lots and lots of water. It will help some.

I can't wait for that to happen to me!!! Congratulations

I'm doing a multi, Vitamins b1, b12, d3, Biotin, calcium citrate. Seems like a lot lol but that's my required ones.
