Cheez it’s are delicious. I get it.

Hi all. I was 248 the day I walked into surgeons office. Had sleeve July 10th. Now 215. I feel like I should have lost more by now. Doing everything I’m told to do except have been limited to mostly walking as my form of exercise. I’m very sore and still get periods of exhaustion but it’s getting better. I know slow and steady wins the race but I feel like I should have lost more by now.

Hi all. I was sleeved 7/10 and am now in the puréed phase. Up until a couple of days ago I relied on premier protein drinks to help achieve my protein intake goals for the day but yesterday all of a sudden I can’t tolerate them. I feel nauscious and like I can’t drink them. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi thanks. I need to just go with the process and keep doing what I’m doing. Thanks for the reply and support.

I was horribly constipated several days post op. It was excruciating and my belly felt so full. Good for you. Start taking something every day like miralax.

Be prepared for a roller coaster of emotions but it gets easier.

Thatch-what does a typical day look like for you intake wise between food and fluid. Are you drinking many shakes?

Doing well. Water intake is good. I agree. We started at a lower weight. Glad you’re doing well. Keep in touch.

Thatch! How are you? I’m going to keep sticking with the plan and I’ll reach my goal. I just see some people on here losing so much faster. I desperately want to get below 200.

Yeah. I guess you’re right. Thanks.

Interesting. Thanks for the post.

Hi Aaron. Where do you get your muscle milk from?

Hi all. I was taking celebrate chewables but started vomiting them up. The Twinlab are capsules that I believe I’ll swallow no problem. Anyone else take these?

Makes sense.

It makes a world of difference when you can eat these things.

Yeah it hurts to see my parents eat normally and I can’t. I’ve never been a jealous person so the experience has been a little uncomfortable. I just need to wait it out. This is about me being healthy, and once I’m completely healthy maybe I’ll be able to have a cheat day. It does get easier once you’re able to progress through the food stages. I’m on puréed now and I’m tolerating meats. Just being able to eat meat made a world of difference to me.

I can relate. I was sleeved on July 10th and coming home I was very depressed, especially when I saw my kids eating regular foods. It’s a loss and we have to come to terms with the fact that we will never eat the way we used to again. I am dying for some potato chips but I know it would be counter productive for me to have any. It will get easier. Hang in there.

I bought celebrate chewables and have to take my multi in pieces because it makes me vomit. I can tolerate it in small pieces broken up. Take celebrate B12 sublingual quick melt and bariatric advantage chewy bite calcium citrate with d3. Those I tolerate twice a day no problem.

Mine from start to finish was about three months.

Yes me too! Salsa sounds wonderful! Gonna try that!

Eggs have become a daily meal for me.

Yes. I’ve had good luck with it. Not aware of any problems with long term use.

I had pretty bad gerd before surgery so was on it. Haven’t had one hint of it after surgery. I’m still taking my Pepcid twice a day.

I’m on pepcid twice a day with no problems.

I wasn’t told no potatoes. Interesting. Yes. Chili sounds great.
