If you don’t mind me asking how much weight have you lost? Is that going good for you? I left the hospital on 2/15 weighing 233 (which was just a little higher that right before surgery) but I am now at 217. I’ve weighed 217 for the past 2 days and kinda started freaking out but I should not get on the scale everyday, but it’s extremely hard not to. I had my post op visit yesterday and he want me to lose 25 pounds by the next time I see him which is next month 😳! Obviously that would be amazing but I’m just hoping I can do it. I went back to the gym today and did the elliptical for about 30 minutes and I just felt really out of shape and weak. As far as eating goes I’m mostly just doing creamed Soups, yogurt and maybe a little cream of wheat and my Protein Shakes. Getting about 400-550 calories/day.Drinking Water more normally now—no more little baby sips, which makes getting it all down easier. Never really hungry so that’s a plus. How are you doing?

MTva 5 Posted February 23, 2018 Hi everyone! I was sleeved 2/14 and had my 1 week checkup today. Down 12 lbs and I get to start soft foods. I was looking forward to it but with as much trouble as I'm having getting all my fluids and Protein on full liquids, I can't even wrap my mind around getting enough when I'm eating actual food yet! I seem to have to choose either not enough protein but getting all 64 oz in, or adding protein and forcing myself to get at least 48 oz of fluids in a day. I know it'll get easier with time though.

Changing4me1 83 Posted February 23, 2018 Yeah I’m thinking maby I’ll have to eat more calories too. Ok hear is a weird thought you were concerned about your two day stall, are you constipated or swelling because you are more active now. I ask because I start to swell a lot still.
