I am 5'10" DOS 6/25 HW: 340 SW: 295 CW: 251 44 lbs down since surgery 89 down since January 11 more lbs. till I hit 100 lbs down!

I agree on the Propel Zero. I love it, it's the only one that I don't have to dilute with water. All the rest are too sweet!

I am 8 weeks put and not eating anywhere near what you r eating. That sounds like a lot of food! I eat 1 or maybe 2 eggs over the day, 1 yogert, a protein shake, some cheese. Maybe try cutting back a bit.

I read one post on here about names. The one I liked was "sleevie wonder". Thought it was hilarious!

I love the butter ball turkey burgers that are seasoned. It is call Sweet Onion Seasoned Turkey Burgers. Yummy!!!

I was allowed pnut butter very early on. Have some every day!!

Today is my 13th wedding anniversary and I went out to dinner with my hubby. I wore a new dress size 1x (down from 4x), wore my wedding rings (only recently fit me) and had a lovely time with my man who said I look 10 years younger! What a happy day. I was sleeved 6/25 and am down 40 lbs from surgery and a total of 85 since January. Lovin life! Just in case you wondered I ordered shrimp cocktail and had a few bites of my husbands filet mignon, delish!

Fellow Buffalo gal here too! I am 8 weeks post op from surgery with Dr. Posner at BGH. I am doing great and have lost 40 lbs. it has been a wild ride, but I am happy I did it now after a few weeks of "what did I do to myself".

I used to get up at 6 am and start drinking. I often stayed up late to fulfill my requirements. It is important and all you need to worry about right now. I am 8 weeks PO now and it is all a distant memory! This too shall pass and you will be amazed when you can drink stuff almost normal in a few short weeks! Keep sipping !!!

My requirements are 60g protein per day. You r fine!

I have a weak stomach now too, but mine has been that way since surgery.

I could have written that comment myself! I am 7 1/2 weeks out!

I am currently in the Outer Banks with my family and loving my time here. I have had a textbook recovery and will be 7 weeks out In a few days. Do you think it is ok for me to do whatever I want as far as playing in the surf, body boarding etc? Am I considered healed?

Thanks for your replies. I thought it was fine, but after being so cautious for so long, I thought I would see what you guys thought. The outer banks is off the coast of NC . It's like heaven to me❤

I am 7 weeks out and I have not lost my hunger either! I have to eat every 2 hours. One cheese stick here, some yogurt, a few bites of turkey, lick of peanut butter. Works for me! I have lost 37 lbs!

June 25th here. I have lost 35 since day of surgery. Feeling great, getting used to how little I can eat! Can drink liquids much faster now which is so much better.

Go !!!

AWESOME! I am 5'9" and my starting weight was 340 and my goal is the same as yours! It is nice to see similar stats and what I could look like some day! Thank you for your post and you look AMAZING! I am currently 259, I am on my way! Keep up the great work!

I am 6 weeks PO and still have some soreness at times on my left side. No big deal really, just know its there.

Block sale in my neighborhood today. I sold tons of 22W-24W clothes. Feels weird to get rid of the clothes I have been wearing for so long! Kind of scary in a way, but I know to move forward, I need to let go of the past. With all the times I have regained weight before.....let's hope I don't ever wear that size again because all the clothes are GONE!

Yes!

I just made some chicken salad and chopped it up in my mini processor with mayo and some wholly guacamole. It is totally delish and has healthy fats!

I would not want to travel at 3 weeks out. 7 weeks yes.

I am 5 weeks PO and just started waking up on my stomach recently. It will come!

I am almost through week 5 and yesterday was my best eating day so far. I was starving! I was able to eat and drink everything I should. Today..... Not so much. It has been hard to choke my protein shake down, and could only eat some yogurt and cheese today. I did get in enough fluid. It just seems strange. Anyone else have a fickle sleeve??
