Congrats! I love to read these stories, I have 17lbs still goal and march is my 1 year sleeveversary!

my surgeon said when you feel off track to "start over" that means reading your book and starting at stage 1 again

Try room temperature, I had the same issue

So tomorrow will be 15 weeks post-op. I started out at 241lbs the day before surgery and am now at 197. thus this far I havent really worked out on a regular basis other then mowing the lawn or taking the little to the park and zumba once a week. I got my treadmill set up last night so I will start jogging and eventually running. I need some help on how to get rid of the lower abdominal pooch. and making sure I dont have wings on my arms. My pant size was on the rise, I was wearing a 20-22. and a 1x or 2x shirt. I am now at 16-18 pant size and l-xl shirt. But slight problem I dont see it the change yet, will that feeling go away? I want to be able see that I have lost weight, others see it but I cant yet. I am comfortable with the food I can no longer eat and drinks I cant drink. I feel like I have replaced my food addiction with a SF vanilla iceed coffee addiction (weigh in, bad or okay) I cant drink Water it hurts my stomach but I can drink flavored water, tea, iceed coffee and milk.. weird i know

My surgeon said to find a good protein bar, but couldn't give me a brand he said just find one.... any ideas on some yummy ones?

How about you make the mashed potatoes but with cauliflower.. I found a recipe on pinterest absolutely delicious and tastes just like Good old fashion mashers

Hmmmm. Interesting sounds tasty. I absolutely love Dr pepper and diet Dr pepper

My surgeon said I can have soda as long as it's sugar free and diet. He said flat is best but can try with carbonation and see how I handle it. No I have not it, I love the strawberry lemonade Crystal light and teja unsweetened ice tea

Today I'm going in to my 4th week lost 22lbs but no sizes... congrats eat and drink protein take your b12 I'm pretty sure that's what helps with energy

Mine was March 26th... ive been walking but afraid my energy will dwindle off I got to far from home. Or maybe I need a kick off motivation???

I can't find the quest bar

So I had my post op visit today, I've lost 20lbs and free to eat anything except soft bread flour tortillas, raw veggies and whole fruits. Fruits have to be in a smoothie. And my meats have to be grounded. Oh happy day

I had the sleeve on 3/26, I ate half of hamburger yesterday and half of string cheese for lunch...chew chew chew. For dinner I had ground meat peas with red chili sauce. I haven't felt restrictions. But I take small bites and eat slow.

3/26 was my surgery

Thank you

Try instant breakfast essential sugar free chocolate with fat free milk. Also try room temp water and eat lots of popsicles if you can't drink water

Lol...

Ooo, thank you ill check it out. I went and bought a couple isopure drinks today we will see how they taste

Hello, I had surgery on the 26th. I haven't had pain meds since the 27th not any nausea meds feels like I'm doing fine. Monday not so much I was confused as to what I did I felt horrible I was mad at my self for even thinking this was a good I idea. I could not drink Water cause it hurt. Protein drinks were also a no go. Today, I'm feeling better I have lost 18lbs I'm trying to get all my fluids in and drinking at least two instant Breakfast for protein. I can only drink room temp water and I can indulge in sf popsicles. broth is going well, little boring so I just got Soups and have strained than out to just drink the broth. I hear Isopure is a good source of protein has anyone tried it? Here's to going into week 2

I know lol....maybe im day dreaming

Of course I brought lots of it home

I'm 10 days post op as well. I have not tried anything outside liquid. We went to olive garden last night I got pasta e fagoli and asked just for the broth so delicious.
