Hi all..I had my surgery on 11-19-13 and I'm down 80 lbs! I want to lose another 85 but it's going slowly lately:( I walk over a mile about 4 days a week and I do a little bit of the elliptical but it's really hard for me to do the elliptical! I'm right around 1000 calories a day..I see a nutritionist monthly to keep me on track as well..hopefully the scale starts moving again! -

My surgeon and nutritionist are pretty strict..Each phase is 4 wks so I'm doing eggs, cheeses, greek yogurt,protein frozen fruit smoothies,deli ham or turkey shaved, and I will be adding in hot bran cereals and sweet potatoes..it gets boring but soon i will be doing salmon and other seafood. .i just bought birds eye cauliflower in cheese sauce because it's soft and I need my veggies. .lol..i try to get 800 calories a day and 60 grams of protein. .what are u eating?? -

Hi scarlet333, I had a great experience with gadaleta and my surgery went great! I know what u mean about bedside manner but honestly most great surgeons do not have the bedside manner to match! That has been my experience as an Rn. ..He definitely does not sugar coat anything with me and is very honest so I like that..He wants you to lose the most possible weight in the first year because after that your sleeve begins to stretch naturally and your weight loss will slow down significantly so I think that is why he is so brutally honest about his expectations for your weight loss! I'm down about 32 lbs in 5 wks and my surgery was 11/19/13! -

I think it's just really hard in the beginning to get in requirements for protein and fluids..I'm 3 wks out and it's just starting to get easier now..i literally bring a drink and snack wherever I go..I've been doing the drinkable yogurt because it goes down easy has protein and travels pretty well! I feel like I've brought home a newborn baby and I have to take care of it 24/7! Takes time to get used to this new lifestyle! !! -
