Hi Breezy... Protein is my problem area!!! I just can't can't drink those Protein shakes...They r soooo yuck...I have the Lean Body Protein drinks.. It takes me close to 2 hrs just to have an 8oz of that drink...and getting 60-70gms of protein from ood is really tough and I am not able to tolerate food..Give me anything in Fluid form, i will gulp it down...But not solid food...it makes me feel sick...In a way, I think that this is blessing in disguise...But, the problem starts when I start to feel weak..Y'day too, I became soooo weak after the outing that all i wanted to do is just reach home and lay down..Hope, this gets better as time goes...As of now, other than this, I'm enjoying this phase of my life....

Hi Everyone... How u ol doing?? Good to hear from some that u r doing good.... I am 2 months out and till now By the Grace of God, I am not hungry at all... Infact, the thought of food is making me sick...I feel nauseated by the mere thought of food... :blushing: I am weak too.. I get tired very easily...May be becos its melting hot here :svengo:.. temperatures reach abt 48oC here during the day...Till now, i am also not successful in getting my required fluids and Protein in..Thou I'm trying my level best....Started going to gym too..Started to lift weights...I must say,its not at all easy...But, i'm determined, this time, theres no looking back...I will make it to goal.. God alone knows how many times I have stalled, but I didn't lose my hope....Thanks to this forum and its wonderful people, that I've not gone insane thinking abt the stall...:lol0: As of today I have lost 23kgs (50.6lbs) from highest weight and 18kgs (39.6lbs) from my surgery weight..I'm very happy with my loss.. My dresses r getting bigger and i started wearing clothes bought 5-6 yrs back....I am ssooooooooo happyyyyyy:w00t:....... Would love to hear from u all...........I will keep u all updated with my progress...I promise....

Congratssssssssss Nagaraj!!! U will be at ur goal weight in no time.... Well done..

Hi Everyone... I was sleeved on 12th April... its been 5.5 weeks out.. I have joined a gym y'day.. 2day will be my first day at the gym... But, I'm in a fix... Should I tell the instructor that I have undergone a weight loss surgery or not?? Did anyone tell their personal trainers abt this? Personally speaking, I dread their reaction... What did u all start with at the gym?? Should I be careful with anything or is it that i can do anything and everything... Looking forward to ur great help... Love, Roja...

Hi everyone!!! So glad to see all of ur posts.. Nicegirl.. I am so sorry that ur having some problems wid the sleeve.. Don't worry.. It will get better.. My surgeon warned me too abt the lactose intolerance and heart-burns.. He told me that all these problems go away after sometime... Don't lose ur confidence...We all are here to help u out of this situation... @Slebme...I was thinking abt u.. U and I share the same date.. and i am so happy that u r doing well.. and a very big thumbsup:thumbup: for u for having started to exercise..Well, 2day I am gonna get onto my treadmill and start exercising...Lets see how it goes... I had my 1 month post-op (thou 2 days more for a month) consultation wid my surgeon... I had lost a total of 16kgs (35.2lbs) that includes 5 kgs (11 lbs) pre-op... Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy... I am suuuperr duppperrrr happyy ... My surgeon too is happy wid my progress and now he gave me a green signal to go to soft foods like eggs, super cooked chicken, fish etc... I will be on soft foods for a week and then back to my regular foods... 2day i had an omelete made of 1 egg white for Breakfast... and tasted sooo good... Had no problems in getting it down either...For lunch i had 1 slice of chicken mortadella with a spoon of low fat melted mozarella cheese and i cud only have half of it... By then I was full... Can u believe it..... half a slice of that meat and I'm full... I love myyyyyy sleeve..... I am actually loving this stage...I don't take any antacids... I just take my multi-Vitamin (centrum) and a Calcium (ostocare) tablet daily... I sincerely pray that each one of us have all the success wid our sleeve..and that i keep hearing all the positives from u all..God bless... Keep giving us updates.... Love, Roja
