I drink at least 64 ounces and eat about 800 calories 60+ grams of protien

Anyone else experience this? I have only gained 2 pounds but worried about gaining more. I haven’t changed my diet or anything so I don’t understand!

Has anyone used them after being sleeved? I’m 6 months post op and have hit a wall

[emoji115]what she said!!! Totally turned the multivitamin part around for me!! They even have auto ship so you don’t have to remember to order them!

Has anyone taken collagen since being sleeved? I’m 4 months post op

Anything sweet makes me super nauseous! I had a huge sweet tooth before and now I can’t really eat sweet stuff or I regret it

Mine lasted for about 10 days before I saw a change. I actually even gained 1.5 pounds and totally freaked out! Called my dr and they told me that it was just a normal part of the healing process. If it lasts much longer I would call your dr and see what they suggest! Good luck!

Has anyone done Cross-fit since they where sleeved? Is that too extreme? I need a group fitness setting to be successful. I get to bored on my own. Thanks in advance

It's a phase. I went through it too. I'm almost at 10 weeks post op and I have days where I think to myself "what was I thinking" but then I get on the scale and I see the numbers and how my clothes that use to be tight are now way to big and I remember why I did it and can see the progress I've made. The liquids phase was super rough but you will get through it. I know it feels like you will never have food again (trust me I was right there too) but you will. I remember the first "soft" food I had was a scrambled egg and it was the best one of my whole life LOL and I was never really a fan of scrambled eggs to begin with. It's weird how you begin to really appreciate food once you can start eating it. Keep your head up! I promise it gets better!

I had this same problem as well and what worked for me was the PatchMD multi vitamin patches that they sell on this website. No sick feeling and my blood work looked amazing for the first time in years! I highly recommend!

If it wasn't my husband's daughter I totally would skip it. Trust me I wish skipping wouldn't have worse implications than going.

Agreed not suppose to use food/ alcohol to cope which I haven't so far but being in room with a group of people who dislike me and who I'm not totally fond of either makes me super anxious. I just need something to take the edge off a little so I can relax and try to enjoy myself. Totally didn't think about the carbonation. I've stayed away from it completely since my surgery on June 29th. Maybe I'll just BYOB my own wine lol

When did everyone start drinking again? My surgeon's office said to wait 3 months post op. I'm not wanting to overindulge but I would like to enjoy a mimosa at the baby shower I'm going to in a couple weeks because heavens knows I will need help getting through it.

I just got release to start my work outs but I was walking 30 minutes a day. As far as diet, most days I still have at least 1 protein shake. I have been really diligent about eating my protein first. I have "slipped" a couple times with trying to have some ice cream (sweets were totally my thing) but every time I end up feeling so sick, even to the point of throwing up once. So I've really almost cut out sweets completely since they make me feel awful. I usually only drink water since crystal light seems to give me heart burn and so does coffee (both which almost make me sad lol).

Thanks!
