I bought a lot of fresh fruit and protein bars and yes some of the dreaded shakes. But i only use them when im on the go all day. Prepare tour next days meals at night with my fitness pal. Youd be surprised how fast healthy foods too van add up to the good calories and keep you full at that. You could also find a buddy and meal plan togethet. It van take the edge off

Seems like the same issu le i just had. I had to ramp mibe up to 1025 a day and lost 6 lbs just like that. It may seen like a lot but u can do it.

Kate!!!! How goes it lady?!

Sleeved 2/8 and greatfullt eveeything has been un eventful. Lost 34 lbs so far. Got stuck at a stall because of low caloeie and low water in take. I must say that i am able to eat anything just in moderation. I think because of allergy season i am becoming more nauseated with the increased mucus production but other than that, i am goid to go. I have eaten bread but sont prefer it along with eice and pasta. I have it and then i let it go. Salads, chicken, seafood and fruits and peotein bars have been my friends. 80+ grams protein a day! To all who struggle with water intake. I went and bought a hydration bookbag fron walmart. $20 bucks. 67 oz. Strap it on your back and sip all day long! Good to go:-)

I dont do gatorade as for son Me reason i am and have always been auper sensitive to the salt in it. I think next week will be a do over week for me so that i can pin point any reasonable issues. Will definately try to incrwase h20 intake even if i have to dilute it with the dern tea lol. Anything other than straight Water the tummy doesnt mind

Me + anything remotely acidic=major backpain fueled heartburn! Yikes. But ill double up on my prilosec and zantac and try it. Before surgery i could drink like a fish. I could easily chug 64 oz before noon.. now i feel deprived especially now i have the third eye when it comes to water make up between brands...

Thanks mariamitani- i had that issue for about a week but have since returned to my regular schedule. I will take your advice and work on my fiber intake as well...lol

I have been drinking from a straw since 3 weeks out. I notice it keepa a lot of the air out of my stomach thus reducing the gurgling burps..the smaller the better

Fellow sleevers- i believe i have hit that dreaded stall. Weight is even creeping up and down a pound every week. This has been going on for the past 3 weeks! Eeek.. i was doing soo well. Is it feasable to go back to Protein shakes and liquids for 2 weeks? Yes...i eat 70 to 80 grams of protein Yes...i work out 1hr every day Yes... i drink Water. Min 32oz a day (All i can fit in at 7 wks out) Yes...i know it was bound to happen. Yes...i have tried and still do track caloriez. 1025 per day. Yes...i choose and "chews" my food wisely! Lol Yes...i need some love from the vst community!!! Plenty of you have been through this.. what did you do? I have tried taking diurex once or twice a week. Yes.. im post op. Sleeved on 2/8. Back to work 3/11 Any thoughts?!

I had aetna and i was approved within 1 day so hopefully it will go quickly. Might depend on your employer as well. What part of richmond are you in? Good luck with your surgery when u are approved!

I eat either greek yogurt (dannon light n fit pineapple) or i do kelloggs protein cereal 1\2 cup with a 1\2 cup milk and 2-3 small slicea of banana. The serving size for the cereal is 3/4 cup but only half fits. A good 10g+ protein and very filling

Hey Gang!!! I hope everyone is doing their very best, pre and post op sleevers. Monday I finally went back to work and had a blast. I put on a bright pink dress with make up and all and had a great non stressful day. I will say I have had more success with eating adequately and slowly since I have come back to work. I am drinking more than my 32 ounces of water with no problem.. maybe I should have came back sooner. This process has been a blessing and a curse sometimes. I did not have any major complications. My only complaint was the stomach cramps. No vomiting, little nausea and no "bathroom" problems. Surgery did make my surgery a week late but that was to be expected. Soo here are the stats. Initial Consultation- 280 Submission Day- 291 Surgery Day-272 Today?????? Drum Roll Pleaseeeeeeee............. 258!!! Now If only I could find a dedicated gym partner, that would be great! I am trying to go to the gym or outside with my son everyday and also 30min 4 times a week in the morning. Here are some of my NSV's -A pair of shorts I bought 1 day after my wedding were super tight on my thighs and I could not get them up... Put them on the other day, --:-) Dance party in my bedroom, smiles all around.. They came up and I had some room. -- My workout clothes are becoming lose again! ---Yesterday while getting out of my car, a man in a minivan stopped his car and said, " Ma'am, I just had to let you know it's nice to see a pretty thick woman, you are beautiful"... Then he drove off! Confirmation at the least, ego booster! ---- My husband and I have "drives" through the roof right now! ----- I have inspired my husband to eat healthier and lose weight for the upcoming trip.. Love him either way! ------ I actually chased after my son while on his new bike yesterday without becoming winded. Also walking with my coworker around the block twice without my back tightening up on me..... I am thankful I was able to have surgery, have such a wonderful support system and also hopefully be an inspiration and greatly supportive to all of you !!!!!!!!!

Im good how are u lady?! Learning the hardway about different foods (pureed stage). Trying to work on Protein consumption and Water intake.. thats my goal for the weekend. I bought some special k protein Cereal. Granted i cant eat more than a 1/4 cup of it and milk, if u eat the 3/4 cup serving and 3/4 cup milk thats 16 tasty grams of protein. I let it sit till its a little soggy ( not pureeing that!)

Awesome congrats hun!

I can tell u that im two.weeks out from.surgery and that taste in the mouth still.hasnt left me! No.matter how strong the toothpaste or mouth wash.... Also, the foods, liquids for now, taste nothing like they used to. I tasted some cheese off of my fav pizza and i was thoroughly disgusted. Shouldnt have tried it anyway but i spit it out and went back to my shakes lol....

3 a or b Im already on a cruise in may and for 2 person occupancy it was 512/pp.. 5day 4night, bahamas...
