I had my surgery 6/27 I amd not quite 3 months out but i'm down 63lbs

The yoplait greek

Surgery date june 27th weight at surgery 280 weight 3 weeks out 247 so down 33lbs I weigh again this thursday for my 4 week everyone keep pushing forward!

I do creamed soups, sugar free puddings sf jello, cottage cheese, apple sauce, smoothies and refried beans. Just some ideas. The sleeve is still healing. And as far as exercise I don't mean go running you just need movement. Sitting in a chair you can do lots of exercise. I think your really down right now and it's okay. I know you must be feeling really discouraged but DON'T GIVE UP. Think about how many calories you are putting in with your current diet. Are you burning them? I know I'm still around 250 just to give you an idea. Breakfast I have a protein shake then I drink water, crystal light, diet snapple etc lunch usually cottage cheese, then drink drink drink then dinner one of the creamed soups or refried beans/sour cream and cheese then more drinking. I have been using the water to float around and get my movement in. I can't do any actual exercise yet because I have back problems as well. The water doesn't hurt me to float around with my kiddos. I reallllly hope things start to improve for you and the weight starts coming off. Keep the faith. My weight the day of surgery was 280 lbs today 3ft weeks later I am 248 lbs it will happen keep pushing forward. Take care

Karen you mentioned steak and chewed foods? What is your daily intake of fluids? What are you eating and drinking cause I'm three weeks out and still stage 2b as far as eating I'm pureed no lumps and still 60g protein 64oz fluids 60 min of movement and the pounds are coming off 32lbs since surgery date of 6\27 I wish I was eating chewed food lol but I'm not although I have licked a potato chip lol

I was sleeved june 27th. I am down 32lbs. I didn't have any pain at all a little discomfort getting used to how my new stomach worked. I am sure everyone has gone through the miserable week 1 phobias lol I know I was second guessing everything I freaked out with the why did I do this it was hard cooking for my 3 kids because it made me want to eat. I even went as far as licking a chip lol but I am 3 weeks out and feeling much better about my decisions. My diet is much different from most of yours. I was all liquid for 14th days now I am pureed for 2 weeks then soft/mushy for 3 weeks then transition to "normal" foods around the 8th-9th week. I to have the pain on the left and it is due to an anchor stitch I was told it dissolves by the 4th weekish. And as far as protein and fluids I have the whey protein powder and 1 scoop is 30g of protein so I have 1 protein shake for breakfast and make sure I have 2 yoplait yogurts that are 15g each that's how I get my 60g and the fluids I just drink like a mad woman as much as I can. excited to watch us all shrink on our journeys back to life!

I had my surgery done June 27th. I will say the first week was very difficult not because of pain or anything else negative simply not being able to eat what I cooked for my family. I have lost 26lbs so far. I have experienced some dizzy spells but other than that it's been fine. No pain meds. Only thing I feel which I'm not sure is normal or not is I'm tender in the stomach area by touch. Very happy I had it done so I can continue to enjoy run and play with my kids!
