My nut says no need to space water/liquids and your liquid protein out. So no waiting 30minutes pre and post meals since it is all liquids. But when you start any kind of solids then the spacing has to happen. I think @Berry78's plan sounds solid if it was me. There's no rush to advance the diet and we all heal differently at different rates. ((hugs)) and hang in there. It's supposed to improve daily!

Also, messing with the guts can cause a disruption of neurotransmitters that affects our mood! Make him get moving, get in sunshine when possible and also watch comedies! Laughter releases endorphins (happy hormones)! And follow @Berry78's great advice!

Yes!!!! I first got my sleeve in 2014.. I was 349 went down to 220 then I got pregnant with my 5th child... and then a year after I got pregnant with my sixth!!!! That's it for me!!!

Mine is four protein shakes a day (mix with water) and two protein bars - they are purchased from my doctors office. I can have one banana or one 8 oz glass of milk. I also can have sugar free jello or pops once a day as well. Today is day one for me. So far not so bad. I the medifast diet for 3 months at one point so I figured it would be similiar minus the one lean and green meal. But it is necessary for the surgeon to be able to move your liver out of the way at have better access, so it's worth the work. My nutrionists told me to think of it as a perscription and less of a diet (it helps a little). But I do understand about the lean cuisines - some days I don't know what I'd do without them. I have two kids at home too so sometimes meal prepping was the hardest part for me. Good Luck!!!

The best of luck with your surgery!!! And I got the virus too... but there is an option to fixed it.. let me know if you want to know . Good luck and fast recovery!! “There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, there are no limits.” —Michael Phelps

I hit a stall five weeks after surgery. What worked for me was to change my diet around. I still stayed under 1000 calories but added a very small price of bread or egg noodles. They key is to stay under 1000 calories per day. I also did a day of nothing but pure protein shakes. I also increased my exercise. Stalls are very normal.

I was debating whether or not to sign up for one, but I asked if my sister wanted to do one with me and she and my brother in law both were interested, so I decided to go for it. I'm excited! I have been running more lately and I already pretty much do 5Ks every time I run, but I haven't done an actual "race" since I was 14. When I registered, the application asked if I had an inspiring story, so I said that I was once 400 pounds after battling a decade-long depression, but have now beat depression and lost 180 pounds.

Hi everyone! Not sure if I've posted here yet but I was sleeved on June 16th. It's crazy to think it's almost been 4 months! I've lost about 60 pounds and I fit in XL clothes (almost L) and size 14 pants after being a size 22 almost 24 and wearing 2XLs. It's been surreal! The before picture is actually after my surgery in Mexico and I was already about 8 pounds down... sadly I don't really have a true before picture. I honestly haven't been the best about keeping track of my protein and calories but I'm pretty sure at first I wasn't doing so well maybe 500 a day now I think I'm at about 1000. I was originally very low carb but am now whole food plant based and have found that I've actually lost weight on it and really enjoy what I'm eating rather than always doing 'protein first' and basically only ever being able to eat meat. Anyway I'm still working on it! I have to say it was a shock when I tried on pants and was a size 14. I mentally really thought I was the same size and was putting off shopping until the very last second. But it's really cool to see where everyone else is at! Although it's been hard, I don't regret this decision for a second.

Hi, I am just looking into revision do to metabolic reasons and I am not sure I should. I had the sleeve 11/30/I2. I lost 60 lbs. SW 289 CW 229 I have been stuck this weight for almost a year I go back and forth from 232 down to 228. It is soooooooo frustrating. I have been reading up and it seems I may have a issue???? I eat 1200-1300 calories daily sometimes less and it is mostly low carb less than 50 carbs a day. Infact recently I have been doing 20 carbs a day, I don't work out like I should be I do work out at least 2 times a w aim for 3-4 though. This last week I didn't at all becasue I was sick but I am back in the game now. Anyway, I am at my wits end the hospital where I had my surgery thinks I just need to keep trying the 1200 calorie plan. Obviously my body like where it is at! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So just curious if anyone has tried it for weight loss issues.
