8 weeks post op thursday



Recommended Posts

i' m sure there are a lot of people here going thru the same things. I was wondering if anyone else at 7 weeks post op can pretty tolerate anything, i have been staying on course and have lost 40 lbs give or take 2 lbs fluctuation but it seems slow in general maybe my expectations are to high for to much to fast. I go to the gym 4 times a week i walk two miles and have started working on some toning machines. i noticed my hunger is starting to come back and though i cant tolerate the amount of food i was eating i fear 5-6 ounces i can tolerate now at times sometimes 2-4 ounces will eventually grow. i stop myself and follow the program . i am getting my Protein as i should as well as Water requirements. i just don't want to have done this for nothing. I feel frustrated i am not losing more rapidly sometimes not at all. Anyone else had this problem? One thing i don't much care for are all the judgey people i have met so far along this journey. its all a learning experience.

I was sleeved on 9/21, too. I can tolerate every food I have tried. I typically can eat around 3 oz. of a meal with dense Protein. I can easily eat a 5 oz. yogurt, though, or a small bowl of Soup. You are supposed to be able to eat more as time goes on, so don't worry about that! You can't survive on 3 oz meals forever. :) Try not to compare yourself to anyone else - you have lost 39 lbs and are doing great! I definitely understand your fear, though, because there are days I worry that I am losing too slowly or eating too much, too.

thanks so much for the support, i know this is all a learning experience for all of us and I"m not knocking my weight loss at all so everyone who responded please don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to make anyone else feel bad or anything like that!! im just venting out loud. i get cravings etc I'm sure like everyone else. people constantly talk about stretching their sleeve or did they not make it small enough, i know we are all different!! so thanks for listening everyone

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
