Hey guys Im 53 days out and im Down 44.5 lbs which is super The only thing id ever change is i would have got this surgery much earlier. So for all you newbies who are dabiling in the idea i say go for it 10000%

Well im glad to know its normal

Hey guys I was wondering if its normal for my sleeve capacity to change on a daily basis? What i mean by that is somedays ill have one meal ( and by meal i mean turkey and cheese) and i wont eat all day cause im not hungry but then the next day ill eat every 3 hours and be hungry. Then theres the meals , like ill have the same meal one day and finish 1/3 of it then the next ill finish half and then back again. Have any of you experienced this?

I get it too only when i go #1 and wow its powerful but i dont smell it on me other than when i go to the bathroom

my taste hasn't changed much but its more like my thinking has. I use to love bread pasta etc but now its more like why?? get the meat and yogurt and cheese in there and fill myself up with good ol protein rather than all that non nutritious food.

6 weeks out and doing low fat turkey slices , all types of cheese , yogurt and slim a soups. I,ve had a steak mmm it was good the first 2 weeks i was having jello and broth then 2 weeks after that i was having full liquids soup yogurt and jello etc then i was having mushies with blended chili and cottage cheese etc now like i said mostly turkey and cheeses . Remember to chew reaaaaaaly well

Hey guys I was wondering about bone structure after WLS and specifically hip structure. When i was in uni back in the thin days my hips weren't an issue but now that im losing weight i realized my hips are huge. Is there a possibility that after weight loss and due to the extra weight on my body my hips are gonna shrink with my weight? I mean i see these youtube videos of people who were roughly my size when i started and a year later there bone structure/body has shrunk accordingly. I'm just wondering if the bones facilitates the shrink and if any of the experienced sleevers have any input on the matter. Thanks

hey guys Its been almost 5 weeks post op and im down 38 lbs . The problem im facing is when to buy new clothes?? Im down 2 belt notches and some of my clothes are already baggy!! Now i dont want to be buying clothes every month or 2 so what are your thoughts?

Hey guys here is my story so far..... Pre op i didnt do a diet because it was too short notice and on surgery date i weighed 326.2 lbs. Post op day one i kept vomiting black blood and felt awful with gas pains and i had to walk which was painful but i was told it was to prevent DVT and help the gases. I was discharged and did a 2 week clear Fluid diet which in i realised i could drink as much as i wanted which frankly scared me but my diet was Jello , New whey protien and allot of watered down Soup sachets. I felt hungry allot but it varied from day to day and meal to meal. Specially when i went on to mushies. Then came the clear fluids for a week which didnt really fill me up that much but it was better than the clears. I was gettong in about 600-900 calories a day and walking sporadically . At my 2 week visit my doctor was impressed with my weight loss but i asked him about feeling satisfied and that i had buyers remorse sometimes cause i never really hit that sweet spot and he said to wait till solids. Week 4 i was on mushies. I had my first "full" feeling with amys organic chilli blended. It was a burping oh crap kinda feeling that didnt last long and it was after 4 or 5 spoons. I was doing ok through the mushies then i cheated at the end with a kobe steak as a treat. The steak freaked me out because it was a 5 ounce steak and i had 2 pieces of dim sum with it and yeah it felt kind of uncomfertable and satisfying at the same time but then i got worried. So far a month in and first 2 days onto solids, yesterday i went out with a co worker and i had to go to a restraunt and i orderd a steak since that was the best thing between what they had and i orderd the smallest steak which was 7 ounces and i ate it slowly but with no problems. But i felt pressured cause my co worker kept pointing out i didnt eat anything. I was amazed i could eat the steak whole!! Anyway today i can hardly eat anything and im very confused. Is it normal to be able to eat that much one day and not much the next? Is steak a slider? I didnt have anything else with it i.e sauce/ sides. Im now getting 800-1200 calories and my weight is now 293lbs. The wrap up is i discoverd that i must be a compulsive eater and im dealing with that but its hard. 2nd is that i need to learn allot more about my sleeve.

LooooL

Thanks for the reply's guys really informative and ive moved on to mush and i now know what full feels like but is it bad that i still want to eat sometimes? I know its mental but i feel like having a proper meal . I hope it gets easier with time .

D dont worry you should drink more water and i found that the answer to losing was eating more frequently. I guess if you dont eat your body stores anything you put in cause its in starvation mode. I honestly eat 8-10 small snacks that are full of protein. Like low fat turkey slices and goat cheese etc.. Don't worry about it.

Well i take animal pak and i can take em one by one with no troubles except a little burping. I am going on 3 weeks post op.
