The thinner me

Im 5 months post op and have lost only 37 lbs so far! Ive been stalling every couple of weeks!! Im still 30 lbs away from my goal!will i reach it?im scared i wont

Putting it this way makes me feel so good! Thank u for motivating me to continue!

I never expected it would be that hard to manage an eat/drink schedual....u cant drink 30 to 45 min before or after a meal so i had and still have such a hardtime drinking all my fluids...everytime i remember i should drink its either a meal or snack time!

Hello all! I was sleeved on March 11th im down only 22 lbs and been stalling for about 2 weeks now at195 lbs :$ My dr cleared me to exercice so ive been going to the gym 5 days a week for a half hour fast walk, some light weights and swimming 2-3 times a week...i feel im doing everything right but i see no results yet... Hows everybody else doing?how much have u lost?r u exercising?how do u feel overall?

I was the same as u! It turned out i wasnt eating enough calories in a day...once i boosted my calories to 1000 per day i lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks.

Turkey burger as is the whole kit with the bun and everything? And is ur turkey burger home made?

Im wondering sthg...people who have stalls, do u still feel like u lost weight even tho the scale's not moving or u actually dont feel like uve lost any weight and once the scale starts moving again u start seing it?

Can i tell me what a typical day looks like food wise and how many grams of protein it gives u without the shakes?

I have such a hard time getting all my water too! Its so hard to manage...everytime i remember i should drink its almost food time so i wait till after i eat then i forget etc... As for the protein surprisingly my dr doesnt want me to neither take shakes nor count my protein....he sais if i eat the right amounts of lean meat and follow the plan o should get enough protein....i never exceed 50g of protein i wonder if its normal... On the other hand i feel great and im starting to feel my clothes getting bigger!

At my 1 month visit my dr said it was ok to swim...if ur wearing a bikini tho make sure to put at least an spf 50 sunscreen on the wounds so they dont get darker..if that happens it would be harder for them to disappear...

How long after your surgery did u expose ur wounds to the sun and how did it react?

How r ur scars looking now?were they affected by the tanning u did?

Hi guys! Im having a hard time taking my protein shake! What are your favourite shake recipes with vanilla whey protein? Thx!

So yesterday i was preparing some melted cheese for my kids and forgot for a second that i was sleeved and had quite a big bite of it....i remembered i was sleeved coz it hurt when it went down!! Did it happen to anyone to forget for a second that they were sleeved and let the bad habit of munching come back??

Hello! Im curious to know when did the peak of ur weight loss happen post surgery? Did u lose more at the beginning and then it was slower or was it the other way around?

Im 6 days post op and depressed...im hungry all the time and i keep thinking about food i almost dream about it! Im soooo tired of the clear liquid diet and im ready to add some more things to drink on my list but if i follow my dr recommendations it should only be in 3 days....how far along did u start ur full liquid diet? I also have a continuous headache since the surgery altho i drink all my fluids....anyone had the same?

Once i was able to have full liquids i made myself a big quantity of a lebanese dish called "laban emmo" its basically a mix of plain yogourt and meat broth that saved my life..it tasts so good so i had it a couple of time a day no prob.(normally ud add beef cubes and eat it with rice). And its also full of protein. Heres the recipe if ur interested. Basically you put a pint of low fat yogourt in a pan with 1 TBSP of corn starch mix it together and then heat it while stirring until it boils. In the mean time u also bring to a boil 1 cup of broth, then mix them together stir for about a minute and leave on low for about 10 min stirring from time to time. Good luck!

Im going to buy my protein shakes tomorrow and wondering which protein powder u use and whether u like it or not? Im definitly not a shake lover

Hello pals! Im 5 days post op and starting to get tired of chicken broth Jello and water! What are some of ur favourites post op foods that worked well for u? thx bunch

I dont have a scale at home yet!!! It really sucks im sure it would help me to see the weight drop...the initial idea was to only weigh myself after 2 weeks haha ya right!
