Hi everyone,

My name is Sabrina I was sleeve in Mexico April 16th of 2016. My starting weight was 344 and today I am 208. Im hoping to get some feedback from some others that had surgery around the same time as me. I feel like I can eat to much and maybe I stretched my sleeve some. Could you maybe tell me what you can consume in a day so I can compare? Still to this day I have absolutely no regrets and I never want to go back to the way things where before. Please help!

Let me first say, you look amazing! Keep up the great work! I was sleeved in February and at about Month 3, found my appetite really getting larger. I am still eating a lot of Protein 4-8 oz per meal but lately also saw a jump in my carbs. I got pretty lax over the past week (holiday cookouts) and didn't exercise as much and ended up gaining about 5 lbs. everyone is different so I would suggest just monitoring your macros to make sure your staying in the right nutritional zones set by your doc. And make sure to keep moving.

You have done a great job and look amazing. My surgery was 4/26/16 and I have lost about 80 lbs. I still want to lose another 30+ lbs but it is much harder now. The focus has to be Protein first but like others on this site I find I eat more carbs than I really should. Even still I am much, much healthier than I was before the surgery, I look better and feel so much better. The whole trick is to not let the pound creep back up!

      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.
