Today is 29 days in week 4, minus 14lbs., 1 fill completed. I feel fine but my energy level is down and I am very hungry. I have no restriction yet. This is not an easy journey. I must admit that I have not begin to exercise. How are you doing?

I'm 8 wks post-op today. I get hungry a few days after a fill because the band relaxes a little. My dietician/nurse told me that if I felt like I could eat a cup of food, to do it. I don't like that. LOL. So...sometimes I snack on low-carb, high-protein cheese or mix up a Protein Shake or drink more Water to stave off the hunger. I started light exercise within a couple of weeks of my surgery...mainly just walking. Now I'm up to jogging some on the treadmill and back to my weight & ab machines.

Best wishes and blessings to you!

Today I am 4 weeks plus 1 day. I actually feel very good. I do get hungry but at 4-5 hours which is when we are supposed to I think. I eat only solid Protein and something else small. I stay at about 3/4 cup per meal. I have not been exercising and I know I should but am just not motivated in the evenings.

I am down about 19 lbs so far which I love but I do struggle with one thing....bm's. I can't seem to get anything "moving" regularly.

I am 3 weeks post-op tomorrow and down 30 lbs (counting pre-op). I am doing pretty good. I do get hungry between meals but I just drink lots of Water to combat it. I am walking with my fiancé on the weekends tons but not much really other than that. I am clear for the pool in one more week and as my pool is heated and hot tub is amazing I am very excited to start swimming! I have a free gym at my apartment as well but don't like going by myself so unless I find a work out buddy I'm not gonna do that at least for now. I still get sore around my port sometimes but over all doing really well. Getting my first fill this Saturday so hopefully I won't have to "white knuckle" it so much!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
