Greek yogurt, refried beans with cheese on them, chili with turkey meat, chicken chili. I’m 6 months out and am full after 4oz-6oz.

Peppermint tea helped so much with my nausea.

I had my gallbladder out in December and my weight loss has slowed way down. Went for my 6 months and they told me more protein . 80 grams a day. I also use an app on my phone and it helps me keep better track . Started losing again since I use the app. I also can tell when I’m not losing on the scale, I am in inches. My clothes start fitting different.

I found peppermint tea was my favorite, helped with the nausea also.

Our City has online garage sales so I just post them for $5 make a few dollars and buy something in my current size. Then sell that when it doesn’t fit anymore.

Just wondering how many pounds people have lost. I’m not losing as fast as I thought I would. Down 61lbs and 3 sizes in jeans. Just wondering if I’m way behind or not. I know everyone is different but just curious.

I was 338 and now am 277. I just started using an app to keep better track of what I’m eating and now doing more exercises with the walking. Hoping this helps. I have had a lot of stalls.

I was sleeved in October of 17. My hair was coming out bad! I was getting really scared ! About a month ago I started using Nature’s Bounty Hair Skin and Nails Gunmies. It says take two a day but I’m taking more than that... but my hair stopped falling out and is growing back. [emoji3]

Yes I had my sleeve October of 2017 and by December I was having gallstones. Gallbladder taken out December 29th.

So my 6 week post op appt is 2 days after my actual 6 week date. I want to try something that day. What is the best solid food to start with? So over this purée.

Yes some days I am starving and I feel like I need to eat every 2 hours. And it seems like the day after I eat more often, I’m not as hungry. Good luck in your journey

I think I read that wrong. Thought it was in your legs. Not sure about feet and ankles

Are you getting enough water? Could be dehydration.

Thanks for all the great ideas! I was super scared to eat anything solid. But I did try just a little on Thanksgiving. A few bites of turkey and ham cut very very small and I chewed them to death. Also a buffalo chicken dip with a few crackers. It all went very well. Thanks again everyone!!

I do it all the time. Works great in chili and soup.

Yes!! I am too! So much more than just the change in weather. (Its cold in Michigan ) i put lotion on all day long.

I was sleeved on 10/17/17 . I had one week that I gained 2lbs then lost 6lbs the next week. The week I gained I was having a hard time getting in my protein. I was only getting like 30 grams a day. I started writing everything down again and planned a little better and I’m back in track. Good luck to you!

So noodles are ok at some point? I thought pasta might be out forever

When I go out I bring a Core Power shake in the car. I’m still on purée for one more week. And I was out for the first time alone and felt very dizzy while driving. So I won’t do that again.

I feel the same way.... I keep seeing all these people and their weight is just dropping off. I gained 2lbs the 3rd week... how is that possible I’m eating 3oz of soup at a time?? But then I got that off in a few days and stayed off the scale for a week like everyone told me. And I lost 4 more. We just have to remember we didn’t gain it over night so it’s going to take a while to come off. And everyone is different. Some lose faster than others. I go for my 6 week post op on the 30th I’m going to try and not weigh myself until then..... we will see what happens. Good luck to you!!

My Dr. said to wait 6 months to drink. Because it takes 6 months for your liver to recover from being moved around. (With the sleeve) just my 2 cents

Congrats! Thanks for sharing! I am about a month out. What a difference a year can make! You look great and I bet you feel great too!!!

So I was told to wait 3 months for caffeine. I’m really struggling working third shift. I’m almost a month post-op. Anyone doing caffeine? These B 12s are not working the last few nights.....

I was sleeved on 10/17/17. Had a lot of gas first two weeks. Dr gave me gas drops that helped a lot for me. I still burp a lot after eating and drinking but doesn’t hurt like in the beginning .
