Awesome !! I totally agree! Have a great weekend!

I am only a week out. I am hoping they fade as the healing process continues.

I am in Davenport Florida. ( Four Corners- about 6 miles from Disney)

Happy Birthday Matt! Have a fabulous day!

i have two major goals right now that i want to accomplish. 1. Ride every darn ride at Universal Studios that i never rode because of my size. I will renew my annual pass just to do so LOL 2. Participate in a Ballroom Dance Competition in September 2019 in Miami.

I have been lucky. I was sleeved on the 8th. I am lucky and so far like or can tolerate everything i am drinking. However as wierd as it sounds the only protein shake that taste wierd to me.. is the chocolate one LOL.. Of all of the flavors i am drinking the chocolate is the worst, cookies and cream is second worst. I am hoping i did not lose my love for chocolate LOL.

i had the preop diet for 13 days total. All liquid and i was down 20 pounds. You got this! Stay on track and take it day by day and you will see the results quickly.

Congrats! Good Luck and Speedy Recovery!

This year is my first year with my tiny tum also. Only i will be 2 weeks post op thanksgiving day. Normally thanksgiving is me and my kids get together. My daughter works at Disney and has to work during the day. My son is now a vegetarian (recently converted, maybe 5 months ago) and now i will be able to have only puree. I believe this year we are skipping the festivities, and are just going to hang out together in the evening and my son and i will do a mini day trip until my daughter gets out of work -instead of spending the day in the kitchen cooking stuff none of us will eat.

I had my sleeve on 11/8. Today is 6 days post op and i am still 1.4 OVER my surgery day weight. I gained 13.6 during surgery.. Wierd as all heck! I am hoping that tomorrow when i hit 1 week post op i am back to Surgery Date Weight! Anything after that is a true loss and then i will start weighing maybe once a week or once a month. I think once a month would be better as to not stress week over week! I am in this for the long haul! Good news is. I did drop 3 pounds over night for the last few nights getting be back to normal. If that path continues, I may be down a good bit by the time i see the Dr, on Tuesday to get the stitches out. Now just to get rid of this everlasting Gas LOL.. Its driving me crazy to burp after almost every sip!

I would recommend calling your doctor to get it taking care of and see what is going on asap before it gets any worse. Good Luck to you!

I also think there will be time available but sipping is great. I am 6 days post op and for the last 2 days, i have all my liquid in before i leave work. I believe its because from the minute i walk through the door to the minute i leave work at 5, i am constantly sipping. Once i complete my 64 ounces, everything else is bonus. It also helps that i am drinking protein shakes, so that also counts as liquids for lunch and dinner, but it gives me a good feeling that i dont have to contstantly sip in the evenings. I can go home, have my protein drink for dinner (usually takes an our for 11 ounces) and then relax. If i am then thirsty i can get something to drink or a sf popsicle for a snack and not feel like i am way over doing it.

thanks for the question and feedback. This is one of my concerns. I can see this being something that will take a lot of practice.

I just had my sleeve done on Thursday 11/8- On Thursday i had no food, just ice chips, Friday- i do not know how much intake i had, very little i think about 20-30 ounces Saturday- i believe it was 38 Sunday- 50 and got all my protein in Today- Its 430pm, and i am at 65 with half protein in. I started this morning at 7 am on a 20 ounce water.. when i got to work at 8 am i put it aside and had 10 ounces of coffee with 2ounces of protein for creamer.. finished the coffee by 10 am. I then went back to the water and finished it around noon. At noon I went to my protein shake and finished it around 130, I then made a 24 ounce of water and just finished it about 430pm. I found i had to constantly sip all day. I never got hungry but constantly every few minutes had a sip or two going down. It still hurts a bit going down.. like pressure i am not sure why or if its trying to pass the gas that may still be there. I still have a protein shake to go this evening, and can do more water, but i am almost at the mindset, that i have reached the goal for the day. Is it possible to drink to much? Its going down and staying down. I also was excited today that i was able to have a small BM for the first time since Wednesday. I think I will need some myralax or something or smooth move just in case as it was not normal but verge of constipation, but at least it moved. Thanks for your input.

Same here. Sorry my response was one-sided..i wanted to respond to u and get out of the office at the same time...how are you feeling? If I worked in that I dustry I would take extra time off too lol..my job is in a small business and I basically run the office without the full title lolol..i enjoy being there..the owner takes care of us all I want to do the same in return..lol..today he yelled at me to make sure I follow.my drs orders to the letter and he doesnt want to find out differently lol SW 306.6 CW 283.6 GW 135

Mine went extremely well. I came back to work yesterday. Now if i could just get rid of the excess gas, and the weight gain from the surgery (15 pounds additional LOL) I am down to 4 over.. so hopefully by end of week i will start seeing a loss of some sort. I am able to get all my liquids and proteins in.. thankfully. Tonight i will start extended walking. I have been walking but not as exercise. that starts tonight.

i would say check with your doctor especially since you just had surgery. I am only 5 days out and the incision is above it.

i know when i was dieting before the sleeve.. i did not notice the stomach go down until about 30 pounds lost, maybe 40.. One day i was at the gym and my reflection was in the glass to the building and it took me by surprise. That and the fact that i went shopping in a store and the lady asked if i was going to buy new pants that my pants looked like it could accomodate 3 of me.. I was embarassed, that ppl at my work never said anything and i didnt notice..

Thank you for this information! I just downloaded it myself! I am super excited to start logging liquids so i dont have to manually track

I am excited my puree stage starts on Thanksgiving day. I see some ground turkey with cauli mash and gravy being pureed into some sort of thanksgiving soup thing LOL.. Today i am 5 days post op. Almost feeling back to normal.. still slow on the walking, but getting all my liquids in! I am excited to try puree foods as well. another week and 2 days to go!

I dont have time to have buyers remorse. I am too busy focusing on getting my liquids in and such. I honestly do not have buyers remorse. I did a lot of research going in and am a very rule/authoritive oriented person. To me, all i did to myself was put a rule in place that cannot be broken. Whereas before, when i dieted, i had a rule in place, but i broke it every time. This will control that breaking of the rule after you lose so much weight.

My plan consisted of 14 days liquid to shrink liver. I started with 13 days because i counted day of surgery in error. You certainly have time to get it done. My plan consisted of drinking all day long including protein shakes throughout the day. I was never hungry. A typical day looked like this... Wake up- Decaf coffee, then a bottle of water, then a protein shake, now a bottle of protein water.. at lunch time chicken broth.. mid afternoon a protein shake, followed by some water (normally flavored) around 5 on i would grab a protein shake as i went to dance classes in the evening. Drank that on the way there.. had water when i got there, and upon arriving home, had chicken broth for dinner.. Would top it off with one more protein shake if i felt hungry. ( the protein water i felt subbed for the shake as it had 1.5 times the amount of protein.) I was allowed up to 5 protein shakes a day of the 10g . Dr said the higher the grams, the less can drink as he didn't want me over 80g protein a day.. It wasn't that difficult as i was constantly drinking something and the protein shakes/water took away the hunger. The broth i did to keep some sort of lunch/dinner normalcy. Good Luck! You got this!

Congrats! Good Luck and I wish you a Speedy Recovery!
