Hey I'm down to 250lbs today marks my 9th week post op. Feeling great I've been easing cardio back into my life as of last week. Thanks for asking

Great info here thanks!

Hey Everyone I am 6 weeks post op today and down 47lbs from my Highest Weight, I have been having iced coffee from my Keurig the 'Green Mountian' French Vanilla with Sugar Free Sweet Creamer about twice a week... is coffee really that bad? I dont feel sick or any pain sipping on it. I actally look forward to it as a little treat. Any Veteran Sleevers know any long term issues with some iced coffee here and there?

Thank you I have a DR appt this Friday so I will ask him. I try and stick with sugar free and I only drink Iced coffee if I have enough calories left for the day I will give diet iced tea a try as well.

Congrats on your progress. Keep up the great work. and the fudgicle sounds goooood right now. I might have to try them as a treat. Cheers!

Hey everyone, I am 5 1/2 weeks post op and I have hit my 2nd stall. I have lost a great amount of weight 45lbs as of this morning. I can eat anything at this point which is good and bad... I am starting to crave junk food again and sweets. And I am always hungry I gave in yesterday and had two Burger King Buffalo chicken Strips and a bite of a Wopper Jr... And gave the rest to my fiancé ...But that's it. I think I need ideas for meals... I am getting so bored with chicken, chicken, and chicken. I needed something else. Anyone having this problem? I also want to start working out at 6 weeks out (once my Doctor OKs) as far as workouts go... Anyone have any tips for starting off 6 weeks post op? Thanks guys! Happy Hump Day

I love shrimp. I went shopping yesterday and bought Talapia, shrimp, chicken breasts, some marinates, bell peppers, low carb tortillas and I think I can get creative now. You guys have been helpful with the ideas thank you

Wow thanks for the link. I am going to try this

Wow thanks guys. Great suggestions here mmmm the lasagna sounds good. And great idea with beef Jerky I love it. I am going grocery shopping today to spice things up I think I have a good sized sleeve I can eat 5oz of food

Thank you

Hey everyone I was sleeved 8/12/13 Starting Weight: 304 pre op Day of surgery: 287 Current weight: 262 Goal weight: 170-180 Height: 5'9 1/2" Diet: I can eat pretty much anything at this point but I make smarter choices... I usually have 1 pure Protein shake in the AM then healthy Snacks and liquids till lunch and I usually have chicken breast, or any lean protein... Then healthy snacks and liquids till dinner and then I have a Protein shake or lean protein depending on how I feel. Pain: no pain since day 4... Walking around and rest helped most I finally am starting to adjust and feel normal again... As far as eating goes. At first I was going crazy on the liquid and puréed stages but now I really take the time to savor each bite My only problem right now is how I feel about my appearance... I know I have lost weight but I still feel the same no matter what. but I am looking forward to getting down to the 250s soon and that will be a milestone for me. Cheers everyone!

Congrats on your success

Sleeved on 8/12 started at 304lbs down to 265lbs. I am tolerating meats and solids. I can't wait to start working out to speed things up. I enjoy lean turkey, grilled chicken and making crystal light slushes in my magic bullet for liquids. My only problem so far is falling asleep at night... I don't know why I can't fall sleep... Maybe I should log off now it's 2am haha cheers

Any update on the stall? I still haven't lost much :/

Oh meee too. I got mine on 8/12 and lost 17lbs but nothing since and it's been 3 weeks idk why.

I am one week out tomorrow and I feel so good. I have lost 16lbs since last Monday evening. I don't take my pain meds anymore as of Thursday. I also feel the itchy starting on my incisions but I've heard it's a normal sign of healing. I can't wait till I can start introducing new foods because I get bored easily. Any stage 1 liquid diet ideas?

Wow how awesome congrats! Good to hear I'm happy for you guys

Thanks everyone. Good info here and I will do more research on the threads I woke up this morning at 275lbs. Time for my protein shake
