Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I am doing well. 3 weeks post op tomorrow and I am down almost 35lbs and I am at 231lbs now. Still trying to figure out how to eat properly, but so far I am very happy with the results. The first 2 weeks were really rough and I hope to NEVER have to go through that again. lol.

1 month until I go to Rehoboth Beach, DE with my friends for 4th of July week. I gotta put in a lot of work before then! :) Maybe i'll post some pics from the beach if my speedo looks good. hahaha

Hello @Dabearo , It would be nice to see this group become more active. Especially in light that it is June and we should all be celebrating being PROUD... Hope everyone is enjoying themselves and loosing, maintaining and appreciating the new life they have been given.

Hi Guys!

I had my sleeve on March 28th. I had to start my pre-op liquid diet on March 10th. From March 10th until March 28th I lost 26 lbs. Since my surgery i have lost an additional 49 lbs making my total weight loss 75 lbs. One area that I have been struggling with is my energy level. I get exhausted pretty easily now. Does anyone else struggle with this too? I am getting about 90 to 100 grams of Protein daily but i am thinking i may need more. Let me know your thoughts!

For those of you that are thinking of getting the sleeve...i dont regret it for a second!!! Best thing i ever did!

Hope everyone is doing well. Happy PRIDE!!!!🌈🌈🌈🌈

Shawn

Scheduled for my sleeve on Tuesday. 2 week pre op getting old. I'm ready to not have a starving feeling. Lost 22 lbs so far, so that's cool.

Ive been practicing with recipes and Protein powders.

So far I have frozen about 2 gallons of homemade Bone Broth, Tomato basil Soup and black bean soup. Made the best lemon ginger sf popsicles. Yummy.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
