Hey everyone! I was finally cleared for exercise by my surgeon. My surgery date was June 15th and I'm feeling alright. I was wondering what are some exercises you all do and how many times a day / week should I be working out?

Hey all! I'm finally off purees. I went to see my surgeon today for my 2 week check up and everything was fine! I lost 33 pounds since surgery on June 15th and I'm feeling good. I had bacon and eggs for Breakfast earlier today.... and had a chance to recheck my scale just now and I am 257! Just this morning and yesterday I was 255. Did I do something wrong? This is making me nervous and I feel I should just go back to purees. What am I doing wrong?? He didn't say I couldn't have bacon and eggs, and I didn't even finish my whole plate. There's enough left over for tomorrow's breakfast. I'm feeling genuinely sad and confused

It has 30 calories, 7g of sugar, and no Protein. I was wondering if any of you have had this? It is carbonated... I didn't know it was carbonated when I drank some. I am 2 weeks and my friend gave me a sip of it and I was immediately taken aback by the carbonation. It didn't hurt or anything going down and I didn't have any problems for the rest of the night, but was wondering what you guys thought of it? I haven't taken any sips since then which was on Thursday!

Sorry if I sound completely psycho worrying about something like this But thank you all for the reassurance! I do check my scale everyday which needs to stop! At least now I know fluctuating is normal. It was just a bit scary to see those numbers go up again. Here's to all of us choosing the sleeve and continuing to see good progress

I'm going to order some premier Protein today because the protein I have been drinking tastes like absolute crap???? I did notice though because of my lack of drinking it, I haven't lost that much weight. In total since June 15, I have lost 33 pounds. But I've noticed a bit of a stall. In the last couple of days, I have only lost 3 pounds and j think it's because of the lack of protein. If we don't drink enough protein, will we stop losing weight?

I want to try rice but I'm so afraid! All I've been eating so far is meat, mashed potatoes, and carrots. How did the rice go down?

Haha!! I puréed things with my mouth too I had some beef stew and chewed, chewed, and chewed. Could only get a bit down but I was happy. Congrats to you!

Hi everyone! I spoke to my nutritionist this morning and I am finally on the puree stage 9 days out. I had a very stressful week and am a little embarrassed of the post I made yesterday. I was really sad and dramatic but thank you to everyone for being my support system I do have a question. What were you all eating during the puree stage? As of now, I know I can eat pureed eggs, tuna, chicken, and mashed potatoes. I asked my nutritionist specifically what I should be eating and she said I can eat anything as long as it goes down safely and is very chewable/mashed so it can go down safely. So... what are you all eating? Are you guys eating regular foods besides chicken and tuna that can go down by mashing it up?

I just packed clothes and that's it. The weird thing is my surgeon didn't want any of us wearing our own panties and has us wearing hospital-ish ones. It was weird lol Also... I bought gas strips and the nurses and surgeon wouldn't let me have them. They said it really wouldn't help.

I live in Manhattan and my surgeon was Dr. Yatco at Lenox hill Hospital! Sleeved June 15th, 2015

I'm only on day four of only having liquids... Water, broth, and Jello. I'm not really a big fan of the Protein shakes so I haven't had much of those. I'm getting sick of this diet and want solid food already I'm not sure if it is actual hunger pains or something else, but I have been feeling a rumbling in my stomach. I am feeling hungry and am not sure how I will make it to the final eating stage. How did you all get through it?

I just got my surgery 5 days ago and the only person that knows is my mom and my sister. My two best friends know but that's it. I'm afraid of being judged too. My family loves gossip and will most likely tell me that I've taken the easy way out. I have told them before I wanted it but I said it in a jokingly manner, and their views on it were less than stellar. Of course it's hard to keep it a secret because of the post op process, but I will not tell. Maybe I will when I'm ready. Maybe not. At the end of the day, it's our choice.

What kind of work outs should I do 5 days post op?

I lost 14 pounds since the day of surgery (June 15th) and I just checked my weight just now and gained 5 pounds? How could this be if I'm only drinking Water and not eating anything? I'm still on the liquid diet. Any advice on how to maintain losing weight and not gaining so fast?

I'm still trying to get my protein shakes in, but other than that, I've only been drinking water and having broth and jello. I was scared that I was going to have to cut back on the jello now???? Thanks. I really do hope I don't have anything to worry about, I get paranoid a lot lol

I lost 14 pounds just 3 days after surgery but now I seem to have gained 5 pounds? How?? I'm just on a liquid diet.... I'm really disappointed and just wanna cry. How am I gaining this fast without me even eating?

What? No way!! I would die for some mashed potatoes My post op appointment isn't until July 1st, so unfortunately I can't ask my surgeon anything yet and am a bit embarrassed to ask over the phone. i don't want him to think I'm greedy That is so crazy you can eat pudding and mashed potatoes though. How does it feel to go down? I want to try but am a bit afraid.. I don't want to hurt myself or anything like that.

I already got the surgery! June 15th! Everyone has been telling me that the protein will help fight the head hunger. I'm wondering can I make my own Protein Shake? Like buying the powder and then adding blueberries/strawberries - things like that?

Yeah, you're right I am starting to droop. Protein would be smart. I just am not happy with the way they taste.. I think I may need to mix some milk in. Thanks for the tip!

I was sleeved on the 15th of this month and am always having pain I hope it goes away soon... it's kind of hard to walk straight with these stomach pains.

You look great!!! I lost 14 pounds in 3 days but can't see it so much like I can see it on you. Keep up the good work????

Ok.. Maybe it's a little bearable ???? I had my surgery June 15th 2015... So I am now 3 days out and my stomach is SO soar. Thankfully, gas is coming out, from my front and back, but not as frequently as I'd like. My lower back is also in a lot of pain as well. I have only been drinking Water, broth, and sugar free jellos. I'm going to buy some Protein shakes today. Does anyone know when my stomach // gas pains will go away? I can't imagine feeling this way for the whole month. It's just terrible and really hard to walk :/ I can't stand up fully straight.

I was sleeved June 15th!! I can't wait for this stomach pain to END! Tired of feeling this way But I've lost 14 pounds in three days so pretty happy about that.... My weight loss progress will be on Instagram if any of you have it.. My name on there is: sleeveddreamer

You're right. I just went to the pharmacist and picked up a gas pill. Just took it now. Thank you, you're right.. I do need to take care of myself no matter what. Already feeling less pain in my stomach.
