Looking good

I wish I had done this years ago. It was a perfect fit for me. I have never been a snacker only a binge eater, my brother had gastric sleeve two weeks before I did and he lost about 30 lbs right away but has struggled ever since because he is a snacker eating often and also drinking calories. If you are a snacker and can't deal with that than gastric sleeve is not for you. I am happy with not having a great deal of loose skin, but I do have some in my lower belly and groin area. Gonna have that skin removed. Skin over my back and arms and legs is just a little loose but not sagging like my lower belly, but I think I am one of the lucky ones with that.,

@mytime4me I totally agree with you! Maybe my energy levels will increase when I increase liquids and protein. :/

Thank you!! That is really good advice.

I was sleeved on the 14th of July. I've been able to eat like cooked salmon, scrambled eggs, boiled chicken, refried beans, string cheese, greek yogurt, meatballs and really soft stuff. I have noticed that my stomach can't tolerate sharp cheddar cheese because anytime I have put that on beans or eggs to melt...i get a pain in my stomach...Also, I need to remember to slow down and take smaller bites because when I don't, I get these painful cramping things in my stomach...its like a few stabbing pains like my stomach letting me know it didnt like it and then it goes away a minute or two after. I am not drinking nearly enough liquids as I should and not getting enough protein in. I've been at a stall for a week and ahalf. I need to be better about my liquids and protein and walk more.

Thank you both... I'm guessing it's just one of those couple of days where I feel like a bottomless pit. I noticed I'm able to take in a bigger volume of water too. I won't stress it and just make good choices and eat more often if I need to

I'm 3 weeks post-op today. Down 22 lbs. determined to only weigh on Tuesday and Fridays only. I think the key is to get in appropriate amount of water and protein. I also am spending some time on the treadmill throughout the day. Good job and good luck!

Surgery date is schedule for August 28th. I am on a cancellation list but my surgeon is now on vacation and his first day back is the 28th of August which I think will be a good thing he will be relaxed and ready to concur the world lol.
