Hey! Umm, honestly I eat whatever I want and I drink alcohol too. Which is bad I know but I really have no consequences, I'm still losing a pound a week and that's what I expected to lose being that I was a low bmi. People tell me I don't need to lose much more but I know I am cause I want to be smaller. Everyone notices that I've lost a good amount of weight and it's very rewarding. I always make sure I eat Protein first whether it be meat or cheese but I do eat chips and bad stuff I shouldn't. I think I became lactose intolerant because I tried to eat ice cream and I had bad pain and diarrhea. It was awful. But I probably don't get all my Water in either and that's the worst part. I need to improve on that a lot.

Mine changed fast, I'm down 2 sizes. None of my old pants and shorts fit at all. I can get away with some of my shirts but they are baggy so that won't last much longer. I think soon I might be going down another size because some of the smaller ones are getting lose too.

Sleeved June 26. SW 186 (could have been a little higher in that pic) CW 155 GW 120 but that might be too much. We will see!

Are shrimp soft foods?

Sashimi sounds amazing.

I wasn't sure! But that makes sense! Thank you!

Weird question. Has anyone tried to eat raw oysters on soft foods? Haha

It's full liquid but I start soft foods in 2 days

18 days post op! What can I eat at a Mexican restaurant?

I'm 17 days post op and I can drink 12 oz of Gatorade/ water/ broth in an hour. That seems really fast. Is this okay?

That's so interesting how it affects everyone so differently. Yeah drinking doesn't bother me one bit. I haven't started eating yet so I'm not sure how that will go.

Thank y'all!!! And you have no problems with doing that?

Well actually more than that... That's just the oz I was sure about.

Yes that's how I survived! Haha

Have you tried the isopure ready to drink? In the glass bottles? I was getting in like 10g of protein and I knew that was going to catch up to me. So I got the bottles and they have 40g protein in one bottle and they aren't bad at all! Even though they are expensive. 4.19 a bottle but it is helping me lose weight so it's worth it, and easy to get down.

You look amazing! What were your stats? And how long did it take you to get there?

I'm on liquids but my NUT said I could have yogurt to since I have had a hard time with liquids and protein. So how does everyone know when they are full say 7-21 days out? Possible even a month out? I'm 11 days post op and I have no idea when I'm full and I don't want to mess up my sleeve by eating/ drinking too much.

Thank y'all! That helped a lot! So I'm not gonna cause a leak by drinking too much water? (Sorry I'm nervous about everything)

I'm 9 days post op and having a sharp pain in the center of my back. I also have a little shoulder pain but I assume that is from gas. Could this be a leak? The sharp pain in my back comes and goes.

It's not extreme pain. I'm not crying. But it is definitely enough pain to make me notice it. I just don't want to go and nothing be wrong and feel stupid. But I also don't want to sit here and worry so much.

Yes I have tricare. Will they cover the leak test?

I had my surgery done in Mexico so I would have to go to the ER and I've already been there once for dehydration and they said my blood levels were normal other than signs of dehydration. I texted my surgeons assistant/ NUT and she told me back pains aren't normal but since I'm having the shoulder pain I assumed they were both gas but she told me to go to the ER immediately but I don't know if she is just saying that as a precaution.

Yes

For those only having the two bottles of water some broth and jello, be careful! That's around how much I was taking in day 3-6 then today, day 7, I was hospitalized with dehydration and was miserable. Liquids are so important. I set a timer on my phone so I drink 4oz every hour! Hope everyone feels good
