Alimac-2007 5 Posted July 24, 2013 June 21 sleever. I have lost 27lbs since surgery day. Haven't really exercised due to lack of energy. I drink 2 premier Protein drinks & 1 Greek yogurt to get 72 g of Protein. I drink about 1.5 L of water' date=' MD recommends 2L. This past 2 days I haven't drank much Water, no good.[/quote'] Have you tried Vitamin B12? That's what helped me so far for energy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alimac-2007 5 Posted July 24, 2013 I was sleeved on June 26th. So far since preop I have lost about 33lbs. I usually get up eat scrambled egg or cottage cheese then I ride my stationary bike for 15 mins. Then drink Water till lunch which I will have tuna or chicken salad on two saltines and go swim for a little bit and for dinner have salamon' date=' cottage cheese or some baked Beans if I haven't gotten all my Protein I will have a Protein shake but most of the time I have been able to get the amount of Protein my doctor wants me to have and then ride my bike again for 15 mins. My doctor had me walking right after surgery for exercise I was to walk 3 10 min. walks a day but I find I enjoy the bike better. The more you move the better you feel. I do have a hard time getting in all my Water on some days. Good luck and keep up the good work.[/quote'] That's awesome! Keep up the good work, I'm also staying active Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

julia7665 100 Posted July 25, 2013 Was sleeved on June 26th. I didn't have to do a preop diet other than the south beach diet phase one for 1 week before surgery. Was 188 day of surgery and today I am down to 171. I am only 5'0 and when i started this journey in April I was 212 lbs. I have been having trouble getting all my Protein in too. I can't drink the Protein Shakes anymore. They make me nauseas. I try to have foods high in protein for all of my meals and drink milk. I have my 1 month follow up on monday and will ask about protein then. According to the meal plan they gave me, they want me to drink a protein supplement until 4 months, I really don't see that happening if I can't tolerate them now!
