Alimac-2007

Lost total 40lb in 3mos. I'm one of the low bmi's. Started at 196 and now 156 yay!!

Thank u everyone, @ Carolina yes I'm losing lots of hair but It's my fault. I'm not doing good with my calcium however I'm trying to eat healthy and do take b complex liquid

Thank you everyone, I been staying active and try to eat healthy. Sometimes I feel guilty because I didn't make the time

Forgot to mention pic on the left was down 20lb & pic on the right is today down 40lb

How much have you lost? what's your weekly program like?

What name brands, store brands, etc. has worked the best for you when it comes to Vitamins & Protein shakes? Also how long you been post op & how many vitamins & shakes you take a day

I'm 3 weeks post op and having difficulty taking my vitamins. I usually like my vitamins with food. However after any meal I'm just too full to take anything else. I haven't taken any vitamins other than b12. Just not looking forward to my chalky calcium lol. I also have liquid omega but also not looking forward to that. I'm afraid to vomit. I am only taking one protein drink a day. I wanna be healthy and for that I know I must take them but I'm just too afraid to vomit.

I started eating a boiled egg too fast, kinda forgot about my sleeve. It was embarrassing since I threw up in public. Not to mention acid reflux won't go away, I want the madness to end. It's getting harder to get enough fluids in because of it Any advice please? 3 weeks post op 20 lbs down

I'm not on any meds and I eaten eggs before I'm guessing its the acid reflux making it worst. I have my next preop on the 31st I'm hoping I can handle it til then.

Their experience doesn't define yours. It is up to all of us to maintain a healthy body with nutrition and exercise. Our sleeves are only a tool to help us get there. They may not have used it wisely. Best wishes

I had my surgery on 6/18, on my right side where I have an incision I can feel a mass inside approx grape size. I did lift my toddler but at the time I had no choice. It doesn't hurt however there is some discomfort when standing up and having to use my stomach muscles. I feel as if I have to apply pressure to my right side when coughing or laughing etc. Anyone else with similar problem?

I had my surgery on 6/18, I've lost 1 pound a day. Total as of today that I am two weeks post op 14lb. It may not seem much but I'm happy with slow weight loss. I am hypothyroid ( hashi mottos). It's hard for me to lose any weight so this is the main reason I got the surgery. It's really hard for me to avoid solids. I drink 8 oz of drinkable kefir yogurt each morning and drink 4oz protein shake. However I'll munch on whole grain crackers about 6 of them. Yesterday I ate little bit of rice. I want real food, my doc has me on the purée stage and I don't like it one bit. I have no will power How can I continue without cheating?

Thank you

Ill try my best.., its just hard for me to do purées only

Really? I hear about ppl losing so much. I hope this continues but losing anything ill be happy. It's hard for me to stay away from solids. I want real food

Just a thought... It's our bodies wanting what it needs. I used to love anything sweet, now I just want anything with protein in it
