I’ll play. Love me some fantasy football. It’ll be good to play with people around the country/world.

Travelled to NYC last night and realized I forgot my multivitamins. I’m only 5 weeks post surgery. Where can i buy a good bariatric multi in the city?

September vs March down 45 lbs - 4 week’s post sleeve.

I was sleeved last week and I’ve only lost 6 lbs. I’m currently 309 but thought the pounds would fall off this week especially since I’m not taking in more than 600 calories a day and walking 3-4 miles. Waaaay less and waaay more than I did pre-op.

11 days post op. Still on liquid diet and walking 4+ miles per day. Lost 8 pounds and have been at the same weight for the last 3 days. I didn’t expect to stall this quickly. Also, everything smells so good but other than smell I have no craving to eat any of it.

Almost a week out from surgery. How is everyone doing? I’m 5 day out feel good and I seem to be dropping a pound a day.

Hang in there. You’ll get through this and you be feeling better. Took my 5 days to poop. But I feel ya about the pizza. Watching my family eat releases some heavy cravings.

Had the same feeling for the first few days or now when I take big sips.

I have a nectar Protein Shake mixed with milk, Unjury chicken Soup, Premier Protein drinks and today I tried Okios triple zero vanilla yoghurt. Adding the yogurt (half a serving) boosted my calories to 650. No solid food or puréed food yet. Not feeling hungry at all.

I’m probably not eating enough. I’m only getting about 550 calories/day and struggling to get that much in.

Good results everyone. Although I feel like I’m lagging since I’ve only lost 6 lbs. what’s the secret?

Sleeved on 2/28. Lost 5 lbs so far. Have an alarm set on my phone reminding me to drink 1 oz of water every 7 minutes. Every 3rd oz has been protein drink (premier protein or nectar). Surgeon want me to have 800 calories per day. However, I’m really only getting 400-500. Walking feels good and napping every afternoon. Keep up the good fight, everyone.

How much walking did everyone do first week post-op? I have a treadmill and I’ve been walking 4x per day for about 15-20 minutes each time.

5 miles per day is impressive. How many times per day do you walk and how far each time? I upped my time and speed this morning during my first walk. I walked for 30 minutes at 2.5 mph. I’m working my way up to 3 mph.

Surgery was successful. Very little pain and I’m able to drink water and protein drinks. Came home yesterday and I’ve been walking like crazy. Got on the scale this morning and was surprised that I only lost 1 lb. would this be normal?

Excited and nervous about getting sleeved tomorrow. On the clear liquid diet today and feeling great. Wish me luck!

Good luck Sherrita! We're going to ROCK this!

Getting VSG in Seattle on 2/28 and then for spring break family is going to New York for the week. I’m excited to finally have the surgery but nervous that I’m going to be nothing but depressed in NY since I won’t be able to eat normally. I wouldn’t have planned it this way but succumbed to family pressure. I’ll get a lot of exercise walking around the city but looking for coping tips and concerned about what I’ll be able to eat. If I had a do over, I would not have planned it this way.

Thanks. Appreciate the advise.

I Just got my date 2/28. Start the pre-op diet day after Valentines Day. Seems like there are a lot of us with that day. Support!
