Lol yea that's exactly how I think! Im trying to milk it as much as I can while its still fresh! I have like one or two week stalls but nothing major! Especially since its summer I try to go 6 days a week before i have to go back to school! Yes I eat MUCH healthier than before and take all my vitamins and try to get as much protein In a day as I can!

Congrats that is awesome!! I was sleeved may 15th... So far I've lose 51 lbs! It has come off extremely fast. I'm so scared for when it slows down! But I do a pretty intense workout 6 days a week and I feel great! I barely followed the diet ever since I stepped out the hospital though but of course I have made a 180 turn around in my diet since the sleeve! If anything it's just hardest to get that stupid protein in ugh!

I'm so glad I'm not alone! I just hit 8 weeks and I'm starting to feel hungrier a lot more! I just don't eat bc I want to lose maximum amount of weight. But when I do eat I feel I can eat so much more than I allow myself! I'm trying to train myself to feel comfortable, not FULL. I am so afraid to stretch my stomach. I almost feel I already did. But I do workout 5-6 times a week so I'm wondering if my body is just really burning what I eat at this point since I barely eat anymore? I'm just scared I wasted my money

Just hit my 8 weeks post op! But I'm getting nervous because I'm starting to feel hunger again. And starting to eat 3 meals, small Of course, a day. I'm so nervous to gain any weight. I feel as though I've already stretched my Pouch bc I have made some bad choices in my diet. Help! Did anyone else feel like this?

Yea I bought some nectar protein so I hope that helps!!!!!!

Sandi--- Yes I asked him about hair loss but he didn't say anything about it being linked to not getting enough Protein in. He said if anything my hair would become a little thinner but he doubted even that for me.

And now I'm freakin out reading these posts that say I will loose my hair in 3 month... I try to drink my protein shakes and I literally stuff my stomach until I cannot breathe... But I def don't get in 50 grams! Why did I do this to myself

Oh and now I don't feel as full as fast as i did the first couple of days... So that's what leads me to think I've stretched my stomach!!!!! This is miserable

Js123::: I'm in the EXACT same boat as you!!! I'm 21... And I'm regretting it -___- I'm so bored Of eating the same things so I find myself cheating all the time, already. I'm eating things I shouldn't be until week 8... And I'm freaking out I feel I've already stretched my pouch and I'm never going to loose weight. My friends go out to eat a lot and it's miserable. I find myself going crazy now feeling like I have to burn off every calorie I eat. I stay in the gym and trying not to eat bc I'm so scared to gain weight. I've already lost 27lbs and I try to stay on the menu of what they've said to eat... But it's SOOO hard. Wow! I'm going crazy...

I'm 2 weeks post op and I'm starting to drink smoothie kings gladiator 20oz for my protein. Does anyone know if that stretches your sleeve?? Obviously I get full very fast but I keep drinking to try and get my protein in... I drink a little more than half and then I cant take it anymore!

So excited for y'all! I was sleeved two weeks ago today and it's amazing!! I've already lost about 20 lbs... I was feeling the same thing you guys were the day before! Very anxious but it's so easy! The pain varies from person to person but I was off pain meds in 4 days and back running a normal life by day 4/5!! You'll do Great! The mental hunger is the most challenging part of it.. But I'm learning slowly but surely it's still a journey!! But sooo worth it!! You will start to feel amazing in no time

Thanks for the encouragement peeps!!! Ugh this is so crazy I never wouldve thought i'd be here! Sometimes I get so frustrated I just DON'T eat! I haven't bought a scale though because I don't want to become obsessed! And now I find myself taking TINY bites of things I can't have! Like a little slice of a pickle... Little things I miss eating!!!! Lord help meeee

Well I'm so glad it worked for you! Yes it will definitely be a life long process but yes this is why I had the surgery! So I could physically not eat anymore! I'm almost 2 weeks post op and at this point I'm nervous to gain weight! I'm so anxious to loose it now.... I just want to Lose it already! People say I've lost weight but idk.. But excited to see what happens! I find myself getting so frustrated that I can't eat anything that I just don't eat at all!!!! Bc I'm so annoyed so I just say screw it! Bc its not Like I feel hungry anyway-___-

Welcome!! I was lucky and didnt have a 2 week liquid diet... I really didn't have to do a pre op diet at all! Just the day before was liquids... I'm Almost 2 weeks post op and so far the hardest part is just parting ways with your old ways! The way I used to eat and WHAT I used to eat is the hardest part for me! You would think once you get out it'd be easy as pie but it's definitely a lot harder than I thought... But the minute u start seeing results it makes it easier! I've already lost 20 lbs!! Good luck on your journey!

I feel the EXACT same way! I'm like wow I really had/have a serious food addiction!! I feel like I'm Going through withdrawls or something... And same here all my social gatherings are a lot around food and it sucks so bad! I just sit at home now and go to work.. Praying it gets better also
