Lol!!! Oh I do not even have a scale in the house. The last time I weighed myself was at my 2 week post op visit and Thursday will be my 6 week post op and I'll be weighed then. My plan is to only weigh myself once a month.

I'm six weeks post op and I still enjoy cooking for my family. I just eat something else.

You can definitely have the beans and cheese!!! I may have I try it. I've made soup with the beans

Hello everyone I had my sleeve and gall bladder removed on 8/5. I spent 6 days in the hospital because I didn't last the upper GI test the day after surgery due to swelling. The same day of the surgery I was able to stand and get out bed. By day 3 I was walking around but in pain. The two incisions by my belly button hurt the most. I went back to work after two weeks but by the afternoon I was tired. I still have some little tightness internally by my incisions when I do too much or lift more than 10lbs. I stopped taking pain meds 3 days after returning home. I'm five week post op and feeling good. At two weeks I was down 22lbs. I have not weighed myself since. I'm waiting for my 8 week appt to see how much more I'm down As far as eating. I struggle to get down 1oz of protein and most days I don't even get down the veggie or starch. I'm hoping it gets better

So I'm about 5 weeks post op and I do 1 protein shake a day. I use the Pure protein powder and 1 scoop is 25g of protein and 150 calories with milk that's 35g of protein and 250 calories. My protein goal is 60-70 a day and I get half my protein from this shake. It's good in vanilla and kind of taste like piña colada to me but its easy for me to drink in 30-45 mins. I drink it for breakfast or snack or lunch. My schedule has been looking like this: Breakfast: 1 large scrambled egg with 2%cheese Mid morning: pure protein shake Lunch: tuna salad or ground chicken Mid afternoon: Dannon oikos Greek yogurt 12g protein Dinner: ground meat, spinach/broccoli/green beans or sweet potatoes

At 2-3 weeks I was still on a liquid diet. I'm about 5 weeks post op and I'm allowed to have 1-2 tbsp of fruit,veg or starch. The crazy thing is I couldn't even eat any of it after the protein. I'm still struggling getting my protein down. It takes me about 45mins to an 1 hr to eat ground meat and fish. I tried mango the other day and it was easy to get down.

Crazy thing is tonight when my family and I were having dinner I became frustrated because I cooked this good food and after 2 spoons I was full !! I'll be 5 weeks post op on Monday. I hear it gets better over time

I had my sleeve on 8/5/13 and have had some constipation but I was given suppositories when I was discharged. My Dr told me to only use what I've been given which is the colace and the suppositories. You're probably not drinking enough.
