I had surgery on march 23rd and am down 45lbs. I think that i could of done better so far but on the up side im down 2 jean sizes and 2 shirt sizes, i can now fit into a Large loosely. Im staying around 750-800 calories a day, whare are all of you staying at? I feel i have stalled so many times over the last 3 months, but i understand we all loose weight at different paces, but its one step at a time. Keep up the great work all!!

I eat as I'm supposed to and work out 6 days a week I allow myself one day to eat small portions of things like chicken wings or fries in very small amounts. This is just a way that I know I'm keeping myself on track and don't feel deprived. This is a decision for the rest of our lives and this way of eating works for me. I also notice that by switching my diet up once a week it helps me to loose weight when I'm stuck. Hope this helps

Hi I'm 7 weeks out and eating about 700-800 calories. Not sure if that's normal but it feels comfortable for me. I'm getting in 60-80 grams of protein and don't do protein shakes everyday I eat 3 small meals and fit in one or two small smacks like almonds. It works for me and I don't feel different anymore it just becomes normal. I've also experimented with all kinds of food and find that something settle well and some things don't. You can't go back so just find the types of food you like that feel good and count calories and protein you will do great!

I love it my husband and I use it when we go on our walks and try to beat our last time. I really like the app.

If anyone wants to add me to myfp my screen name is Jaxhdsn. I'm a little over 3 weeks out and don 24lbs

You look great! I'm a little over 3 weeks out and I've lost 24lbs, these last few weeks have been slower than the first that's for sure. Keep up the good work we are all in this together!

I was told no soda because the chemicals make you hungry, but that carbonated water is okay as your sleeve will stay the same

My dr says that have of sleeve patients get acid reflux. I take 1 Prilosec daily and it takes care of any heartburn

2 week surgiversary today and I lost 10lbs first week and for this last week I've been bouncing between 228.4-230.2. Today I was 229.2. I'm getting in all my water and some plus all my protein. Doctor said to experiment with foods and I have, no problems with anything! My caloric intake has not been more than 720, but mostly between 550-650. I've also gone back to the gym and have been walking 30 on the treadmill. Just so frustrated seems I'm working harder and loosing weight now that I was before surgery and now weight won't come off! Thanks for letting me vent :/

Thank you everyone, I will be patient just need to get myself to not be so obsessive over the scale.

How long did anyone wait to have an alcoholic drink? My dr said to drink on special occasions but never now long I should wait.

Hi I'm Jacquie I was sleeved on 3/24 and am doing really good. Mild soreness but am getting all my protein by doing two syntrax nectar shakes a scoop and a half per Shake. I've been drinking my water and miso soup has been so good. I'm down 10.2 since discharge. Really happy! So ready to start full liquids and puréed foods!

I know what you mean....miso soup is really good!

I'm having the twinges and gurgling too....along with the burping and passing gas. Wishing I could move on to puréed foods. I've gotten all my protein in for today think I'm doing good

Hi I was sleeved 3/24...day two was horrible but yesterday was better and today even better. Ive only had nausea once and am keeping fluids down well. I am quite gassy bit walking tends to help. I had about 1/3 cup of broth last night for dinner slowly and went down well. Was also able to get 16oz of water and 35g protein shake down by the time I went to bed. Today I'm having no problem getting my protein down. Was wondering did anyone eat puréed soups the first week and if so what did you have?

Spending the day at SeaWorld with my husband and children before surgery tomorrow. Don't feel too nervous just anxious. Ate my last meal today now liquids and mag citrate until midnight! I feel ready, it's now or never and if I don't do it I'll never loose weight. I guess I'll just get the hang of things as i go. Reading peoples before and afters as well as struggles and success has really helped me stay focused, thanks to all of you!

Thanks everyone for your positive thoughts! I've been walking the halls here at the hospital and was just cleared to sip fluids! Must say my abs are sore but the gas pains out worse...oh well before I know it I'll be back to normal

Thank you everyone for the wonderful positive thoughts!

The Dr I see has done pediatric laparoscopic bariatric surgery. He performed the first laparoscopic gastric bypass in the world. He is located in la jolla California and his name is dr Alan wittgrove

Min not sure what's wrong with me today, I'm two weeks out doing the no carb preop diet and now starting to wonder if I'm making the right choice to get sleeved. Anyone else have these feelings ? I guess I'm just scared my whole family dynamic will change. We love going out to eat, cooking together and doing wine tastings. Any advice would be great!

Thanks everyone for all of the encouragement it had really helped me to realize this is the right choice!

I have to say I'm having the same problem. My date is march 27. I don't know why I'm self sabotaging myself but then again if I didn't have that issue I wouldn't need surgery! Good luck to you!

Good luck to all!

What insurance do you have?
