Youma

Hello, i know she is terrific. She was my doctor as and mine was done on May 1st.

Hi All, my name is Youma and I'm 39 y/o and mom of beautiful boys. My starting weigh was 263 and I'm 5"7 tall. I had my gastric sleeve on 05/01/15 and have lost only 18lbs from pre op diet to date. My goal is to loose 85lbs in a year. I have started feeling light but I know for sure that I have a long way to go. I'm one week post but haven't be able to drink 2 8oz protein shake. I was just able to finish one yesterday. I can eat pureed food it got stuck. I have been dring soup and I'll overcook my veggies and meat, smash them with a folk and eat it. Still I feel full just after 2 bites. I can tolerate soup very well and I can drink my water and other liquid fine.

Well I'm also a week post op and have cheated with a straw yesterday and have to admit that this was my 1st time finishing one 1 protein shake per day. I'm supposed to be eating pureed foods by now but it can't go down. I have tried to eat over cooked meat and folk smashed foods but it is not going down at all. I was able to eat 1 chicken wing but felt horrible after that. Everytime i try to have a bite of something that I'm not supposed to have I'll hate myself for doing and it'll stuck. Please insult me for not being committed. I'm actually doing all the best I can. I

Oh you all look fabulous and thanks all for sharing your amazing stories. I'm only 1week post op and have lost 18 lbs from pre op diet to date. My starting weight was 263 and my current is 244. Did anyone here have a little secret for preventing or minimizing loose skin?? My goal is to loose 85 lbs. thanks
