I was sleeved 12-12-19....My husband told me today my body feels jiggly! After feeling myself, I am! It’s as if I’m losing all my muscle. Is this normal? I’m not taking in enough calories nor have any extra energy to even think about working out. I’m walking about 5 miles a day for work, and that literally takes almost everything I have. Im drinking plenty of fluids, and getting at least 65g of Protein a day. I’ve began to be able to get a few bites of soft food in a day. But mainly all my nutrition is Protein Powder in my fluids.

It's a fact that u burn muscle when you don't have enough calories. I know it hard but that a battle you don't want to have to deal with later. Good luck

I'll take my turkey neck over weighing my previous 373 lbs any day, frankly. Besides, I could have it "taken care of" (through plastic surgery) if I really wanted to...

I'm okay with my turkey neck now that I have more energy, fewer health problems and a new outlook on life.

The turkey neck will disappear in a few weeks. Sleeved 11/20 and I had the same issue. I was so worried! Stay hydrated and the skin will eventually tighten 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.
