Hello! I was sleeved on April 13! I'm trying to get a group of Boston people together to hang out , talk, swap stories, progress, recipes, etc. I've found since I had my surgery that a lot of my friends have become distant and stopped including me in stuff because they think I can't eat or drink. This app is great and all, but I figured a group meeting together sort of like our own support group, would be great! We could plan outings and stuff like that?! If anyone is interested, let me know!! Thanks .... Dawn Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I very rarely count calories. I make sure I get 100 grams or more of Protein daily. I've lost 75 pounds and I'm 6 months out. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 6 months out and I don't count calories at all. I only count Protein grams 80-120 per day because I workout. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Only?!! That's fantastic! I am 5 months post op and down 65 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Don't panic. I was slow to lose in the beginning also. Now I'm 5 months out and down 65 pounds! It will happen! Just make sure you drink your Water, get your Protein and walk walk walk Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 5 months post op and will only eat a half of a slice of whole grain bread. It expands in your stomach and can make you sick. I had bad experiences with bread and rice. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 7 weeks out and have lost 39 pounds so far! I stalled at weeks 3 & 4 but the weight is flying off now!!! I wish I had this surgery sooner!!! I have been 100 percent on plan with counting Protein, taking Vitamins and getting fluids. Thank the lord for this miraculous surgery. I couldn't lose an ounce before this!!

I had my surgery on April 13, 2016. I lost my first 19 two weeks out. In the last 2 weeks I've only lost about 5 pounds and I am freaking out. I'm back to work half days because I'm a mail carrier and my job is very active. I'm back at the gym 5 days a week. Only eating mushy foods abd liquids still. I get all of my Protein most days and all of my Water and then some. I know it's normal and that 2-3 pounds a week is still a great accomplishment considering I couldn't lose an ounce no matter how hard I tried before surgery. But I'm so scared that once I'm actually able to eat a little more, that my weight loss will stop! I think my body is broken. I get soooooo much exercise with my job that I think my metabolism is screwed up so bad that I simply will never get to that magical place we all want to go called Onederland!! My heaviest weight was 295, pre op weight was 265, current weight 240. I get so frustrated that I'm just gonna stay in the 240's, I cry and cry! I'm more depressed now than I was at 295 as crazy as that sounds. I'm so afraid that I'm just gonna stop eating all together. I'm going away for the 4th of July weekend and I wanted to be down at least 50 pounds by then. I'm going on a romantic vacation for my 5 year wedding anniversary in September/ October and I really want to reach Onederland by then. I'm going to support groups and talking to my nutritionist and she says I'm doing great and I'll get there but I know my body and my sucky metabolism!!!!!

@@darima77 I have my Protein shake in the am and I add chia seeds and natural Peanut Butter to it. It comes out to 350 calories . Then I eat a Greek yogurt, then a string cheese, some cottage cheese , for dinner usually like half of a turkey burger . After the gym I drink a light muscle milk! It adds up quickly. Lately I've been getting around 1000 calories, because of my activity level and the weight is coming off a lot easier. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Great news everyone!! I'm now 6 weeks out and down 30!! Steady losing about 3 pounds per week. Sometimes more!! It's so true , the stall is real!!! Once you're over it, the weight starts falling off. I actually started getting more Protein and eating more calories because I'm so active, and IT WORKED! I was also not having regular bowel movements so I started taking the stool softeners they send me home from the hospital with and now everything seems to be moving great!

@Margie22 cool! I live in Revere and work in Cambridge. I had my sleeve done at Tufts. Do you know of any good post op support groups in the area? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 5 weeks out now and can hardly eat anything. Everyone is different. I can't eat anything too tough or crunchy. I'm mostly still on soft foods . Fish, turkey burgers, Soups, etc . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
