How underweight? What does your doctor say about it? I am also in this position somewhatMy family doctor is not happy with the weight loss. I still didn't go for the 1 year check up with my surgeon. How are under weight?

I reached my goal, and 20 lbs more than the goal... I was suppose to stay at 120 lbs and I am at 100 lbs now. Having said that yes I am under weight now :\

Good luck I am sure everything will be fine I am one of the people went through the opposite I was crying to go for BM. Trust me it gets better on your second month Look at the bright side you will be loosing the weight and looking awesome

I am 8 weeks out and still can't eat slow, don't drink enough water and my protein intake is low. I drink only one shake a day. I have a very busy life and cannot change my bad habits

Good luck you'll do great!

Me too I was looking for it this morning! Anyways I have a simple question I am almost 5 weeks post op and wondering if I can add a bit of peanut butter to my shake? Also if I can have some veggies not that I have space for it, but I miss eating salad and steamed veggies. If yes what r the best veggies to eat? Thanks

@berkelycurves I had my surgery on Dec.19 and I also lost only 20 lbs. Not eating is not going to help you much, you need to eat. I haven't lost anything for the last 15 days, but I know because I am not getting enough fluids. I don't work but I am a full time student, and yes my energy is very low. I don't exercise, but I try to move around the house. Please don't be discouraged and depressed the weight will come off. From what I have been reading we need the fluids, protein and a tiny tiny bites. Trust me it will get better. we are here to support one another. So you can do it, we all can

I had my surgery on Dec.19, and I am struggling with the water and protein shakes. I started feeling hungry and always craving something sweet. I am good at taking my morning vitamins, but tend to forget them at lunch and dinner I think I lack the time mangment. I don't know what to do? @ 4 weeks now when do I start having veggies? And what kind?

Congrats and welcome to the losers bench

Good luck you are in good & safe hands. Doctor Ortiz and Dr. Martinez are amazing and the night shift nurse is super. Everyone is amazing

If you are arriving the night before your surgery, you are allowed clear fluids and protein shake. FYI The shakes they sell at the airport is very high in sugar! On the way back I bought a Greek yogurt with fruit, but didn't eat the fruit. I couldn't find plain ones. You will be surprised you won't be able to finish 2 spoons so you will end up throwing out the rest. Also ask for water and or half apple juice half water on the plain. I also got electrolyte drink from Walmart and took it through security. I just explained that I had surgery and they took it tested it and brought it back to me. Make sure you get up and walk during your flight I got up and looked funny because my back was not straight. Hope that helps. Oh and a very small pillow to support your tummy that helps a lot

I am 16 days post op. I just had poached egg minced with a bit of cream cheese. I feel so sick, I keep walking and walking is it too soon to have poached egg? May be I ate it too fast? It took me 10 min

Looking forward to pureed, the question is what kind of stuff I could purée? Thanks

Thanks

Congratulations on your surgery shiela! Had my surgery on the 19, can't get enough fluids in, struggling with the vitamins as well. Can't wait to eat cheese and nuts lol. Could you please give me ideas for puréed? Mix what? Thanks

I was sleeved on the 19th so today makes one week! Speaking of sneezing we were at Walmart on Christmas eve. Buying the gifts for our kids and I sneezed. Ouch that really hurts I felt like I was going to faint I am not taking enough fluids and cannot even finish one protein shake. I would love to have real food

Hello everyone! I had my sleeve done on Friday Dec. 19 I am really struggling to drink part of it I don't like the shake may be?I am still working on my first shake for the past 3 hours and it's not even half done yet, and I am not drinking water in between so that I get most of the shake in. I am allowed creamy soups please give me some ideas. I thought of boiling a potato and add lots of chicken broth. I know I am not allowed any starches but I need ideas please and thanks. How do I keep getting fluids in my body??

How soon after the surgery I can take laxatives? I am on day 7 here I think it's time to use some

I had my surgery on Friday too with Dr. Ortiz and was released on Saturday morning. I agree he is amazing and his staff too! They never pushed me to walk because I was still pretty drugged, at some point they refused me going to the bathroom but I insisted to go lol. I didn't have any gas pain until I got home last night I know it will take some time. I even got up and cooked a full dinner for my family but left the cleaning for my hubby. Just struggling with the fluid intake and will have to work on that.

Thanks a lot keep the ideas coming

Also I know that you can't mix hot soup with the protein powder, but I can't take my soup cold at room temperature thanks again

Thanks everyone for your help! @ Kindle did you buy the ready made soup, powder or you made from scratch?

Hello everyone! I bought the UNJURY. It says use one scoop, but when i opened the chicken flavor there was no scoop. I guess all of them would have no scoops! So, how many Tbs is a scoop? Thanks

Hello Tim! You need to make the decision yourself. You need to think about your health as well. Yes it's very hard to give up food, but you also need to enjoy life! May you have a happy healthy long life. Also think about how good your wifey look. Maybe you need to look good for her too ???? Good luck with the decision.

Go girl! I will be sleeved on Oct. 10 too at the OCC. Guess what I was born 1979 as well
