Hello! I am looking for other sleevers to talk to and find out what they are doing to help them best! I try for the most part to focus on Protein protein and more protein. I try to get my fluids in as much as possible. I have been stuck at -65 forever!

I do the same as you . I eat meat meat and oh yea meat. I drink a premiere Protein Shake half at a time . Your body can't absorb all that Protein at one time. I eat a egg a day and a 100 cal Greek yogurt . I love the p3 protein Snacks and turkey Jerky bites. I was eating seafood but my hair was thinning so I switched to cooking beef patties ( for iron) on George Forman with sautéed mushroom and onions peppers . I am a slow and steady 2 pounds per week looser .

April 14th here. I am up to anywhere between 55-75g of Protein a day. Besides a Protein shake once a day, I have a variety of other Protein rich food items such as cottage cheese, greek yogurt, mozz cheese sticks, babybel cheese, egg whites, tuna, turkey and chicken. Also if I have any milk I add powdered milk to it to double the protein (my nutritionist calls it double milk). I still struggle with getting in enough fluids though. I tend to only get in about 30oz of Water and then about 20oz of other fluids - G2, diet Snapple, crystal light etc.

My weight loss has been pretty good so far. I tend to lose a bunch of weight, and then nothing for 10-12 days. I'm down about 75lbs from surgery - so I'm pretty happy with that!

Zoey are you exercisibg at all? I find that I struggle with Protein, I drink 2 shakes a yogurt every day protein from meat hurts. No matter how wet or how much I chew it, it's uncomfortable. As are veggies and fruits so I limit them, as I do bread.< /p>

. I started with a tblspn of Peanut Butter once to twice a day and it made me feel a lot better. It has a little more than the recommended sugar but that was based off of two tablespoons as I was only eating one... I was told by my doctor to do a five day pouch run. That's 1 day of straight liquids, two days of Soups and soft foods the fourth day fish any and the fifth day all Proteins (meat)... I plan on starting that soon to kill my last 10. Everyone thinks I'm small enough and sd if I lose any more I will look like a crack-head...lol whatever I hv more to go...

Good morning @@starspring & @@ijones67 - I have been exercising quite a bit. I'm at the gym or out walking/jogging 4-5 times a week. Doing a lot of cardio, but also a lot of weight training as weight training burns more calories longer. I'll be doing the Biggest Loser race this upcoming Sunday and am super excited about that. I'll be walking most of it, but will jog part.

Protein from meat has been good. I haven't had beef since surgery, so I'm not sure how my tummy would handle it. Fruits and veggies are just fine with me - I have a salad every day - for lunch or dinner (or both) with a Protein. I have very little bread as it fills me up to quickly, and since we take in so few calories as it is, I'd rather have quality calories.

your doing absolutely great... How long has it been since your surgery?

I cannot tolerate fruits as much as I love them, they make me cramp up & I cannot keep watermelon down & that was my favorite. I wish you luck with your up & coming event ????. I love salads but after 3-4 bites I'm done. I'm still at the stage that I'm seriously shuts wasting food...

Hey Jackie! Hope all is well!

I struggle so much with actual weight loss that I totally don't weigh myself at all. The last time I weighed myself, I was done 67 lbs and stuck there for at least 4 weeks. So i just quit it.

I do crossfit 5x a week and a brisk walk 2x a week.

It's definitely a process.

Surgery april 2nd

5 day pouch test. Ask ur doctor about it

April 25th!!! So glad I did this for myself. Down 71 lbs and feeling great. Exercise at the gym 3-4 days a week and ride my horse on the days I don't go to the gym. I average between 70-90 grams of Protein a day. I still drink a shake split in half a day. I drink half in the morning and half before I work out. I try to limit carbs to those in vegetables or fruit. Haven't tried bread or Pasta since surgery and don't plan to as they are trigger foods for me. I use a lot of the bariatric foodie recipes!
