Thanks everyone, i feel much better

I am losing inches..just bought a pair of pants in the regular section of the store...no more pluz sizes! (should i try to increase my protein though?)

Five weeks out tomorrow and only 17 pounds lost..i get about 60 grams of protein per day. Should I increase it? (although, i am not sure how as i get so full just with the 60) have not really started exercising...could that be it? Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.

Any suggestions on some good places to go while still in the soft food stage?

So, I am 25 days post op and for the last couple of days, had a bad reaction to dairy...does this mean i am lactose intolerant or do i just need to take a break from dairy? What to do about protein now?

Good luck! I was sleeved on 9/12 and i have never felt better!

I am looking for a site that will, for example, tell me how much protein ib 3 oz turkey, etc?

What is the best webiste that will tell me the amount of grams of protein in anything I might eat?

Thank you... I cant help comparing myself to others who had already lost 20 pounds or more by this time!

I was sleeved exactly 3 weeks ago but have lost only 15 pounds...any words of encouragement would be appreciated!

I am just about 3 weeks post op and have had insomnia for the past week (hence this post at 2:50 am) anyone else have this problem? Anything that we can take? (like tylenol pm) thanks

Yay, i finally get to move to soft foods on sunday...i see alot of people mention ricotta cheese, is it more protein or a different taste than cottage cheese? What can i do with it? Thanks!

Thanks ladies..just cant wait for monday when i am cleared for soft foods! Have never wanted cottage cheese and yogurt so bad in my life!

I was sleeved on 9/12 and still on liquids...i couldnt resist and i ate a couple of spoonfuls of my kids mac n cheese...at that moment i felt like i could have eaten the whole bowl..now i am scared that i did damage but i feel ok...while am i sabotoging myself?

All comments welcome! Thanks!

Two weeks post-op and returning to work today...I feel pretty good but am still extremely anxious about how i am going to make it the whole day and then go pick up my kids at day care (husband is out of town on business) i have a desk job so that will help (as a side note, i am 13 pounds down post op)!!!!

I was sleeved on 9/12 and have only lost 7.5 pounds...i am freaking out as this does not seem nearly close to what others are reporting...is this normal?

I was sleeved on 9/12 and am on a modified liquid diet for another 2 weeks or so..it is getting me down because i am so damn tired off protein shakes and pureed soup. I feel ready to move to soft foods but will not do anythng to jeopardize my recovery so i will not go against drs orders...i feel like i cannot make it ...any coping tips are appreciated..,

Thanks for the quick replies!

Sorry bur i figure someone had gone through this.. I was sleeved on monday and still have not gone #2..any suggestions? Thanks friends

I am really trying but it is hard not to get discouraged..i might try going out tomorrow, msybe that will help me feel better..this site has been a life saver

I am only 3 days post-op but i was just wondering when you noticed the weight starting to come off? i need something to look forward to as i am not doing so well right now. Thanks all
