I am 5 1/5 months out. I have lost 68 lbs. I can eat anything. I eat about a cup at a time. My goal is to lose about another 20 more.

I was sleeved on July 31st. Since my pre-op appointment I've lost about 80 Lbs. I can't eat much. Maybe 1/2 cup at a time, maybe 2oz if it's meat. I struggle to get my Water in but make sure I get my Protein in.

I am 5 1/2 months out. I am down 69 pounds. I can eat anything except--believe it or not--salads. I can eat more than what I think I should be able to at this point--probably an entire cup. I have no problems getting all my fluids in now. I have slowed way down on my weight loss. I am now at about a pound a week. I don't exercise like I should, so I am gearing that up.

I am almost 5 1/2 months out and have lost 57lbs since surgery and 82lbs since pre-op. I can eat anything and eat about a cup at each meal. I have been able to get in all Protein and liquid easily since the beginning. I loose about 1.5 pounds a week now. I do exercise 1 hour 3 days a week (weight lift and cardio) but am having pain in my upper legs so doctor and chiropractor said to take last week off and I will do the same this week, did walk 2 1/2 miles today because the lack of exercise scares me. I am a pretty lax sleever and let myself eat all foods just in moderation making sure I get enough protien.

I'm noticing a increase in what I'm able to eat now and wondering if any of you have noticed a change around this time also?

I have noticed an increase as well. I measure everything. It's kind of scary.

I was sleeved on Aug 30, making me 4.5 months out... Ive lost 71 lbs... have 70 more to go to my goal....

Im eating a Protein shake for Breakfast.... tuna or chicken salad ( about 4 ounces) for lunch with some sort of green veggie ( a few bites) ...

dinner, usually I eyeball a size matching half my fist size of whatever meat I cook and 2 or 3 table spooons of a veggie...

I drink loads of Water all day...

I usally have an Isopure clear Protein Drink that I mix with Water that I sip on all day as well.... at the end of the day, I usually go to the gym and drink the last half of that Isopure ( mostly because its ice cold and I need something cool after a workout)

I usually dont have Snacks...but if I do its usually a piece of cheddar cheese

havent noticed because Im too scared to try... I still have problems holding down denser Proteins like chicken or turkey.... so Im surely not going to try to see if I can now eat 6 ounes instead of 4.. Im sick of making out with my toilet bowl

I was sleeved July 13th and my typical day looks like this:

Breakfast: Protein shake

Snack: 100 Calorie Greek Yogurt

Lunch: String cheese and a Piece of fruit or about a half cup of chili or another yogurt and the string cheese

Dinner: about 3 oz. of grilled chicken and half of a Green Giant Just for one veggie

However there are days that I can eat way more. Especially around a certain time of the month.

I am a teacher so I am having trouble getting in my fluids but I usually get in at 3 bottles of Water and about half an Isopure clear Protein. I also exercise at least 3 times a week. My minimum workout is 3 hours of Power Yoga which can burn almost 300 calories an hour.

I am losing very slowly now. I am actually scared that I won't make my ultimate goal. Although I will be satisfied about 15 lbs before what my ticker says.

      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.
