I was sleeved April 15. I've lost 32 lbs since April 1st. I've had a 2week stall...idk why. I'm following the rules but that's ok I'm sure it won't last & I feel good. I just wished to be down more before I went back to work. LOL #vain & wanted a little wow moment hahaha!!!!

I'm sooooo flippin glad I'm not the only one!! I started thinking what if this works for everyone except me ACK! LOL we are gonna be ok!

So I know that we need 60-70 grams of protein everyday but can anyone tell me how much calories, fat etc. a day or does it matter or not. I'm just confused. I asked my NUT & she basically said don't worry about it because I'm very diligent about getting my water & proper protein (never more than about 3oz at a time) everyday. I'm 1 month out so I don't have room or time to get anything other than water & protein in. I tried to tell her that I think that info would help me choose the correct items long term to eat but i was kinda blown off. I'm a hairdresser who travels so I have no free time for much prep. & really no time to be eating all day. So what I need it small items I can eat in a reasonable amount of time that packs a bit of a protein punch. I can find these items but I'm wondering how many calories & fat is too much for something with say 20 grams of protein. Any guidance would be amazing! ;D x

LOL you're welcome! I have a need to cap lock the word ILLEGAL to add drama!! Hahaha! those are exactly the bars I have so that's awesome!!! You are a gem!! #betterthanmyNUT

Yes it helps I think my confusion comes because I am & will be relying on 1shake & one protein bar a day for around 50 grams of that 80 & there are so many choices. (The reason I will be using those for food is because those are items I can nibble on & hide quickly between/during clients. I can't have containers of chicken & bowls of yogurt sitting on my station while I'm training or taking clients. It's tacky & will undermined my expertise to have food items visible aside from being ILLEGAL! HAHA!! It's strictly against state board regulation to have food in chemical areas.

Thank you so much!!! This is very helpful!!

Omg I didn't have to buy either from my NUT! That's cray cray! Mine gave me a list with pictures & where to but my vitamins/supplements & protein shakes & powders...& explained the things I needed to have if I could not find the exact brand. The more I read in this app the more I think my experience has been totes diff from most. (ie. I had no drains in & the mandatory diet purchase) seems like most had those things..

I'm only 1month out..but I've been taking Biotin since before surgery & one of the gals on Instagram said she started it after her hair started coming out & it totally helped her..also I recommend Nioxin shamp. condt. & treatment. It makes really happy hair follicles:) ..(.I'm a hairdresser) LOL ....I'm gonna try it all HAHAHAHAHA! It can't hurt ;o) good luck doll!

Seriously totally felt the same way LOL!!

Thats fantastic!! How long has it been for you? I'm 5'1 so ya ...really visible LOL always thought 5'4 would be a perfect height.

My heaviest was 322 April 15 surgery day was 305. Now I'm 290....it's been 1 month. 15lbs. Isn't as much as others but I'm following all the rules & it's better than nothing. Guess I'm a slow loser! LOL I'm glad to see there some more of us 300+ sleevers ;o)
