Yes I do a premier shake am , cup cottage cheese then an isopure threw out day. I'm getting my 90 grams protien for sure

So today I went saw my bariatrics nut , she said I've lost 53 pounds in 6 weeks. I thought I was doing great. She was concerned. She ask what I was eating I told her I eat about 3 spoonfuls at a time. I am at about 600 calories per day. She said to bump it up to 1000 cals per day. Also gave an ekg to make sure ticker working good. I am jog 3 miles everymorning and hitting gym after work. I thought I was doing great . But she says if I work out hard I need to feed my body better. Makes sense , she said eat smart not small. I was sleeved on 4/20 and have lost 123 since Nov . 68 pre-op

He's ok......I like watching man vs food but still can't eat much. His times aren't bad . And he is exercising a lot so sounds like he's doing great. Best of luck

yes my bmi when i started was 58, so i dont think there should be a problem.

Your numbers sound like mine, you'll do great. Goodluck and god bless

about 3 weeks from first visit

YES I DID LOOSE MY 10 % , i ACTUALLY WANTED GATRIC BYPASS BUT DR Z TALKED ME OUT OF IT, HE IS AN AWSOME DR. i TOO WAS VERY SCARED OF GOING UNDER, I HAVE NEVER BEEN UNDER. bUT i CLOSED MY EYES NEXT THING I WAS BACK. yOU LADIES HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT IT WAS NOWHERE AS BAD AS I EXPECTED. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

he is awsome he did my sleeve , couldnt be happier. i was sleeved on 4/20. Good luck Dr Zelda is awsome you'll love him

Oh ya I also have sleep apnea, in six months I am gonna retest to see if i still need it. I feel like I really dont need it but I will wait to see what doc tells me.

I too was scared about the surgery aspect, I started at 458 back in nov. I was sleeved on 4/20 weighed u=in at 390. Today I am at 351 moving along well. the surgery was nowhere as bad as I thought it would be. Most painful partwas imediatley after you wake from surgery. But then they put you on a pain pump and everything is well after. Few days about 4 you'll feel some abdominal pain, the pain is like when you use too do a ab workout and you were sore. You can do this. Biggest adjustment is the eating a few bites and i am full, I still have that fat guy mentality but I can not consume nowhere the same amount of food as before. Figuring out when your full is the hardest so you wont over eat. hands down best thing I ever done for myself. loosing ten pant sizes and 2 shirt sizes makes me feel like a new man. Good luck , and remember walk , walk , and more walk.

might be too late for last meal if your getting operated tomarrow, but i went and hit all my favorite spots week up to my surgery. 24 hours before my surgery I went to favorite burger spot. but good luck tomarrow.

You will be fine by saturday sunday, first couple days are worst and after that its lose, lose and lose.......all worth it. My ride home from hospital was not a fun one ethier . good luck and welcome to the loosers bench

sounds like your doing great, congrats

i had my vsg on 5/20 threw kaiser west LA, my surgeon did not put me on 2 week diet. i just had to do a one day liquid diet.

starting wieght 458 day of surgery 390 today 353 surgery date 4/20 total loss since Nov. 105

not really much, tops a 1/2 cup of anything. Anymore than that makes me feel like when i use to go to buffets. But your right mushie foods are much easier. Havent tried fish yet. I think my biggest problem is knowing when I am full.

I hit my hundred last week, now working on my next 100......i was sleeved on 4/20

I am about 5 weeks post op. I am starting to try different foods. But chicken that i use love so much doesnt sit with me well anymore I have tried it different ways and each time it makes me throw up. Does anyone else have this problem. Eating is really becoming a chore. On the brighter side I am loosing weight just sometimes I smell something and want some but I know I cannot handle that any longer. I guess I'll just stick to protien shakes and cottage cheese.

its normal i lost about 2 pounds per day first week, then you'll hit a stall in two weeks, good luck.....dont forget to walk alot its good for you

you look great, and much happier

So today is my one month post op, I was sleeved on 5/20. First let me throw some numbers at you. 6 months ago I wieghted in at 458. I lost 68 pounds getting ready for surgery, mostley by calorie counting. on 4/20 I was sleeved my weight was 390. Today I am weighting 358, lost 32 pounds in first month. First of all I have been pushing myself. In the morning before work I walk/jog 3.5 miles before work. And then after work I try and do 1 hour of cardio. So far its worked for me. When i started this journey I was wearing a size 58 pants, today my friends that also had sleave gave me some hand-me-downs to wear because my clothes are getting baggy. I couldnt beleave a size 48 fit me good. WOW!!! Made my day, starting to really like the way I look again and i feel 100 times better than last year at this time. Really excited about the future in a really long time. Just feeling grateful and happy, havent had that feeling in a long time. Just to give you a sample of what i eat , never more than 1/2 cup of food. And beleave me I have gotten sick my share of times. I Am I have 1/3 cup of egg whites with a slice of ham. mid morning I have my premier shake. for lunch usally a soup or a 1/2 cup of beans. then next few hours I take down Isopure drink. then after gym I make myself a shake with frozen fruit and frozen veggies with whey powder protein. I think key to my success is the walking and cardio. I am walking/jogging about 15 miles a week. I havent jogged in 15 years. It amazes me that i can jog. Life is good. Everyone good luck dont mean to brag but hopefully motivate. Walking is the key people. I feel like the weight of a teenager is off my back

WE WERE SLEEVED SAME DAY, I HAVE LOST 20 POUNDS SO FAR. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS I AM WALKING 3.4 MILES IN MORNING BEFORE WORK. AND THEN AFTER WORK I DO AN HOUR OF CARDIO AT GYM. I HAVE ABOUT 2 OUNCES OF EGG WHITES FOR BREAKFAST AND A PREMIER SHAKE FOR MID MORNING (30G PROTIEN) FOR LUNCH USALLY A SOUP. TEH I DRINK A ISOPURE ZEROCARB DRINK (40G PROTIEN) TAKES ME ABOUT 2 HOURS TO DRINK. AFTER GYM I GO HOME AND MAKE MYSELF A PROTIEN SHAKE WITH FRUIT AND FROZEN VEGIES. REALLY NEVER HUNGRY, MY BIGGEST PROBLEM IS KNOWING WHEN I AM FULL. GOOD LUCK WALK MORE THATS MY BEST ADVICE

ha ha, do you know how many customers tell me same thing. i tell themthat the big is not for my waist line but for size of my heart. thats so awsome your mom was a barber , my daughter is also a really good barber. thanks agai i will add you as a friend

ha ha.....noticed that beer thats actually a before pic sometime last year. Although I havetried a beer didnt work foamed up in my sleeve so i have given up alchol for a while. But you right its the single best thing I have ever done for myself. No regrets. I would recommend this to anyone who has had issues with wieght problems.
