my heaviest was 520lbs i am now a little over 1month post off and down to 452lbs. I make sure i get my protein and water in each day and get my exercise. I am really looking forward to seeing 3 on the scale!!!

I am a photographer thats how i pay my bills. When i am not on a job i like to photograph fun stuff and travel.

Not trying to steal the topic but i am a month post op and my doctor wants me to cut back on protein shakes to one a day and start using protein powder. Any recommendations on unflavored powders?

Sugar free pudding is really delicious if your craving something sweet.

i am having no issues with Water and Soup intake on my liquid stage is this normal? i know it sounds dumb and what to ask but i keep seeing everyone having issues and I just keep thinking i am going to gain weight. i am having 40-60oz of water 2 cans of soup mixed with water through out the whole day 2 premiere Protein shakes 30g of protein each. i am not feeling nauseas or thrown up once.

Mind over matter you can do it!

Mind over matter you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. Hard work pays off you got this!

I'am 17 days out and I go every other day.

Felt minor to tell you the truth just gassy farting and burping a lot.

From what i read on here stalls are completely normal and you shouldn't stress it. I know we all want to see losses and i feel your frustration just embrace it and keep moving forward.

My surgeon did not ask me to lose any weight on pre op diet. He put me on all liquid diet for 2 weeks to shrink my liver it wasn't that bad and i managed to lose over 30lbs in 2 weeks. I was so stoked going into surgery with that kind of loss it took me out of the 5's and into 4's!

i was worried about my tattoo also i am fully sleeved but at the end of the day my health outweighed what my tattoos will look like. Before surgery i took out all my piercings. both nostrils,nipples, and genitals and just put them back in a few hours after my surgery.

i bought a ninja so I'm gonna puree chicken with potatoes in that when i get to the puree stage on thursday.

Does The show pay for the surgery?

Hey Jersey Shore here i was sleeved on Dec 30th at Our Lady of Lourdes in Camden by Dr Mark Salcone.

I really want to be able to fit back into Fred Perry and Ben Sherman clothing.

i watch the show pretty often and it really makes me upset. I love to see these people succeed and you are right its very sobering watching them. The shower scenes are the worst and need to go.

Reported to hospital at 530am for 730am surgery got weighted in and lost 32lbs on my pre op diet. I was way stoked to say the least. Surgery went well and I woke up with nausea and very loopy. I got to my room at noon and I instantly was up walking Laps to get this gassy feeling out. I've been doing a dozen Laps an hour and feeling really good minus a little discomfort. Pain level is around a 3-4 out of 10. Gonna go watch tv and return texts excited for tomorrow and trying Clear liquids. Cheers everyone!

Thank you for the response. i try not to be so nuerotic but it can get the best of me sometimes.

i am 4 days post op and today my intake looked like this 2 - 11oz premiere Protein shakes 30g's each 1 - can of campbell cream of chicken soup 40oz of Water through out the day its 745pm i may have a little more soup and more water. the intake of fluids has been really easy and I've been off pain meds the day i left the hospital.

Had my surgery last week and its easy. The worst part of it for me was coming out on anesthesia. Just make sure you start walking when you get back to your room and do it often it will help with the gassy bloated feeling. You got this!! Best of luck!!

I e read on here a lot of people pot op having problems with there intake of protein and or liquids. I was sleeved on the 30th and ism having no problems with anything. Today I had 1 and 1/2 cans of cream of chicken soup strained and made with water. I've had 2 and a 1/2 protein shakes about 80grams and been sipping water all day. Not once have I felt nauseas or thrown up. I sip and take everything slow is this normal to have no issues? Am I taking I. Too much food? Just curious.

Thanks! Still gassy but going strong no real pain just tender sipping all day soup, water, and protein!

I'am back home sipping all day having zero issues with getting in all my fluids and protein. Just slow and steady like I was told. The Adominal binder they put on me works wonders!
