  1. Worst part has been bouts of diarrhea. Everything else is a step and if you truly want this surgery there is not really worst parts - just mountains and valleys :) if I have a bad moment I just look in the mirror and see how amazing my body is changing. The whole process is not a walk in the park but the results are like Christmas Eve as a kid - its exciting to see weight loss without a struggle! I have never been as happy as I am now that my life has hope. This has been the best decision I made for my health and for my daughter - she needed her mom for a lot longer than a few more years :)

    So I have a little diarrhea lol it's ok I have my life handed back to me every time I get in the scale.....


  2. I'm panicking already! I was doing so good a few days ago, every day I lost at least 3 lbs. In a total since surgery last week I have lost 13 lbs but now it's not moving. I exercise every day , get at least 70 grams of Protein in and 60+ oz of Water. :( what the crap! I don't expect to lose a lot every day but I was hoping it would steadily keep moving down. Boohoo Im bummed today.....


  3. what I was trying to say is that I think it's pretty normal to eat throughout the day at the clear liquid and full liquid stages just to try to get everything you need to in. At least that's what I was told by my dietitian. I know right now I'm on clear liquids & it takes me all day to get all my Protein & liquid in. My guidelines are to change that and only have 3 actual meals with only liquids between meals once I'm on the pureed/soft food stage. But again' date=' everyone's guidelines are different. Therefore, you should really ask your doctor if it's okay to be eating like you are throughout the day.[/quote']

    everyone handles the diet differently so I was looking for a fellow sleever who was following the diet like me. Comprende? What my dr says and what my body wants are two different things and as long as I'm doing it all right I don't need to consult with my dr over something like this - that is why I POSTED it on this forum. It's a support forum not a battle of who's right and wrong. THANKS!


  4. I am on what's called full liquids for a few weeks . Plain Greek yogurt is a full liquid and it's high in Protein low in calories. I know that the magic to losing weight with the sleeve is your protein intake min 60 grams a day and your Fluid intake preferably Water at 60 oz a day min. I am already walking daily for 30 min and the weight is coming off every day :) what I was looking for is anyone else eating throughout the day like me?


  5. Just curious if anyone else is eating like this as well? I seem to still feel hunger so I start my day with a Protein Shake and then every few hrs I have 4 oz of plain Greek yogurt mixed with a little instant mashed potatoes . I have he yogurt / potatoes 4 times then it's one more shake. By this time it's evening and I am finishing my 60 oz of water/ Crystal Light. If I'm hungry after that I just have broth. Does this sound ok? I'm getting 70-80 grams of Protein a day.
