thanks so much!

hi! i'm 2 months out and usually eat between 700-900 calories a day. i aim for 70g protein and 64 oz fluids. i usually have to have 2 protein shakes to get all my grams in. i'm walking 3x a week and just added strength training in last week. i'm really frustrated- i only lost 5 lbs my second month ... don't know what i'm doing wrong, but as of yesterday, i decided to cut back on the carbs and we'll see if that helps. thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences- it helps alot!

i feel your pain- i only lost 5 lbs the 2nd month post op! i, too gained 4 lbs and lost it the next week. i am so frustrated!

i'm sure glad i read these posts this morning-at least i know i'm not alone... i was sleeved 7/20/11 and have lost about 33 lbs, but 28 of it was preop and the 1st month post op. i lost only 5 POUNDS my second month. i'm doing really well calorie wise and some days wondering if i eat too little. i'm very discouraged... i have over 60 pounds to go.

i love unjury classic chocolate and their vanilla is good too! i personaly don't like their chicken soup or strawberry sorbet flavors, but that's just me. or, and the unflacvored is handy, too- you can add it to anything under 130 degrees (or it clumps). hope this helps! i get it directly from unjury online.

hello there! i'm jennifer and i live in gold bar. i was sleeved 720/11 by dr. landerholm in edmonds. i've lost a total of 33 pounds but only lost 5 lbs last month- doing really well calorie-wise but frustrated with my progress...

hi and welcome to the site! my name is jennifer and have been sober since june 7th, 1991. i am a food addict as well; had my sleeve done on 7/20/11. glad y'all are here!

hi everyone! wasn't aware that this post was here and that there are so many july 20th sleevers out there! so i lost 11 lbs pre op(2 week diet) and have lost about 27 lbs total since 2 weeks prior to surgery. i'm a bit frustrated with my progress- haven't lost anything in over a week. but i've had almost no complications- outpatient surgery- didn't lose anything the first week post op due to the fluids they gave me- about 9 lbs worth! it's challenging to get in all the Protein i need without Protein drinks, so i'm thinking i'll go back to 2 a day and cut down on the carbs i'm eating too. a challenge to get all the Water, too- but i'm probably getting an average of 50 oz a day. lemonade crystal lite is the )$#@!! sending y'all good vibes and best wishes for fast but healthy weight loss!

what's up with that? it's been a few weeks, but i thought that if i clicked on my ticker (tickerfactory.com), it would take me to the site- can't click on it!

thanks, susan- i got a new computer and now it works fine! lol!

thanks, ladies- i got a new computer last week and now it works perfectly!

it's been a few weeks, but i remember just clicking on my ticker and it taking me to the ticker.com site- now it won't let me, and i don't want to make a whole new one!

i'm shopping and need help finding stuff that doesn't taste like complete s***! thanks!

you look AMAZING!!

hello! i had my surgery 7/20/11 and have stuck to my diet and have not lost a bit of eight in 6 days. i lost 10 on my 2 week almost carbless pre op diet, but i thought at first the weight would be dropping off. i'm getting in most of my protein and water. help. please!

i feel more hopeful now- thanks!!!

hello out there! i'm really excited and nervous- surgery is next month! looking for a buddy or buddies! would love someone in the seattle area, but not necessary...

hi katie- have we "met"? i went through dr. landerholm at puget soumd surgical center! what a great crew they have there, huh?

hi mini me! had my surgery done on wednesday and my post op yesterday for fluids- i'm doing great- so much less pain than i thougt and almost no nausea!!! yay!!!

my surgery is scheduled for 7/20/11!!! i'm excited but nervous- will the med be strong enough to kill the pain?

so, i keep reading about how people spend 2 or 3 days in the hospital- if you had laprascopic vsg outpatient surgery, please chime in! i have to go in the next morning for fluids, and there is a hospital very close by if there are complications, which i'm not worried about- guess i'm more worried about pain management... no nurse at my beck and call...would appreciate your experience!

a trick i used with unjury was mixing 1/2 scoop vanilla and 1/2 scoop unflavored; then it's not too sweet.... yum!

i will keep you updated! if i get a mini, it will have to be used- 26.5k is too rich for my blood! i didn't know they're made by bmw!

THANKS SO MUCH, everyone- i'm starting to calm down a bit!

thanks again!
