    Sleeve 9/15

    I had low Vitamin d levels - a week before surgery I started the 6 week 50,000 units ( once a week) Dr didn't care - probably not my biggest risk going into the surgery - Sent from my SM-T530NU using the BariatricPal App

  8. Was feeling good today . Wore a pair of Levi's from 1967 ( ok, really from 2005 but same difference) Anyways- at daycare pick up a little girl wanted to touch the baby in my tummy . I guess my 75lbs weight loss transitioned me from fat to pregnant !!! Can I count that as a NSV Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Hi kbuck3779 .... How are things ? I'm not sure what phase 3 soft foods are ... But any real food is better than liquids, right ? You going to the gym or staying active ?

    Problem I am having choosing a protein shake

    I am using bi-pro chocolate ... It is not sweet and the recommendation is 6 oz Water - which is not a lot to consume - you gave to order online - but to me- it beats a lot of the sweeter brands . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Sleeve buddy

    Hi Audrey and LowBMI.... I understand totally .... There are sometimes where my sleeve tells me I am done and other not so much. I was sleeved June 1st and have lost 35 since surgery ... Faster than some bust slower than others I find going to the gym is the only thing that is helping me. I do plan and count everything in my fitness pal ... Also - no food in the house " that i want ". I don't have any control over crackers , chips and sweets ... I have asked that they respect it for a few months ... But since I shop- it works Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    7 weeks post op

    I have a similar weight loss and stall like you ... I started back up to gym or walking at night and I am starting to see scale move downward again ( yay ) For your husband - I know how he feels actually - I was pretty prepared for surgery except that I had a notion the weight would melt off - so I read more and realized I was wrong / so I changed my thoughts and adapted Give him a break and realize he is not aware of the process and needs information to reset his assumptions Two more pieces of advice that is sometimes shared .... Measure yourself - sometimes you are not losing weight but you are losing inches ! Track your food- even if you snack ( which you want to try and break that habit ) - track it! I'm not a vet, but I wanted to let you know I understand Good luck ! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    cheat!

    I have seen a lot of good recipes with cucumber ( when you are cleared ) .... Isn't it funny though : before surgery, I'm sure " cheating" wouldn't have been croutons ;Post surgery .... Well - it is a whole new world Good luck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Checking in alone?

    My husband stopped by once a day, but that is all I wanted - I just wanted to sleep, walk and sip ..... going home and having someone around if I needed them was helpful - in NJ , had to have someone pick up/ escort home Sent from my SM-T530NU using the BariatricPal App

    Pain 3 days out

    I would say 4-6 days it lessened - but I never had major pain - I didn't take any pain medicine once released from the hospital after day 3. 10 days I could lay on my side .... Major pain - maybe do a quick call to your surgeon just to check and make sure they check out what you are feeling Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  23. Are your shakes approx 100 calories? Does that mean your dinner is approx 800 calories? Maybe that is too much at the end of the day ; I have the sleeve and not the band - so maybe some differences ..... just wondering -are you tracking using an app like MFP or estimating Sent from my SM-T530NU using the BariatricPal App
