Just wondering how much everybody is exercising? I've been reading a bariactric book and says to not exercise post surgery due to the fact we are only eating 500 to 800 calories?

I have a Fitbit and I make an effort to walk a minimum of 6000 steps per day and next week I'm going to raise that to 7000. I've been trying to raise it by 1000 steps every week. For me I've found that it's best to do this in the morning or I sit and obsess and procrastinate all day long about doing it if I don't.

And I feel SO much better you have no idea. This coming from someone with Rheumatoid Arthritis who hasn't walked more than 3000 steps per day in at least 10 years.

Hey Sleevers!

So tomorrow marks 2 Months.... I'll share my stats below but i'm down 27 pounds.... most of that was lost at the beginning and I wish i could say I wasn't hoping for a little more loss but its also a hell of a lot more then it would be without my sleeve. So I will try and remember not to let it get me down and just continue pushing forward.

I did start going to the Gym last week and it had not been easy but it has gotten better with each visit. The first time i thought i was gonna die from dehydration. So now I make sure I drink as much as i can before I go and that has helped. I feel sore as a hell but I take that as a good thing. I feel like all 27 pounds lost were from my butt so I figured the gym will help with that lol.

The biggest problem I've had is food.... I never know what is gonna sit well. Today I had a salad and now I've felt sick all day! The stuff that seems to stick without issue is the bad stuff.... pizza, chipotle, mashed potatoes.... That right there is the reason I'm losing slow.... I want to eat the healthy stuff but it happens every time I eat and then I gotta run to the RR.... TMI i know but anyone else running into this? If so anyone had any luck with getting better.

43 down today since surgery on 6/18. I have had the flu and have been sick for over a week now, and it has been HARD. My appetite has been just non existent so I have been eating small amounts of whatever food appeals at the moment. I haven't gone off the rails or anything but I have definitely been eating a bit more carbs than before and to my surprise, the scale approved!

and the oddness is that carbs make me feel ok. I still have a little level of nausea in the morning and when I don’t eat. And I go for my saltines

Today marks two months for my VSG. It’s been a struggle but I’ve managed to keep carbs out my life. I haven’t eaten rice bread potatoes and focused on Protein only. Still having problems with my fluids and working out, but I manage to walk 2 miles a day and that it.

Man I cannot eat salads for the life of me! I wish I could! I absolutely loved salads before. If I have a bite or two, I immediately have the urge to vomit.

I’ve lost 20 lbs since the pre diet began. Nearly 2 months post op. Have stalled, again. I’m bruising like a sensitive banana! Need to look into Iron sups. Just not sure I can stomach more Vitamins.

Well, summer is nearly over, here’s to being fit and Healthy next summer 2019 :)

      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.
