What diet pills are you taking with the surgery?? How are you even able to take anything with what littlemcaloriesmyou are consuming????

I had a 6 day pre-op diet which I lost 9 pounds on. For me it's all the same. The day I started the pre-op was the day I started to change my eating habits and started to change my life

Sleeved March 18th down 52 LBS. starting weight 250 LBS current weight 198 LBS. Onderland!! Yay!!!!

What brand of flavorless protein are you using and is it really flavorless???

Also the ones at Walmart are Whey protein!

Walmart sells them! They are nasty but do in a pinch!! I have to plug my nose to get them down and only drink half at a time because the body can only absorb so much protein at one time!!

I slept on the couch propped up for two weeks. Finally in bed at around 3, but still couldn't sleep on my side until week 5 comfortably!

March 18th lost 30 pounds first two weeks since then it's been slow going... Down 34 lbs total. Got in 105 grams of protein yesterday!! Amazing!!! I am getting about 70 oz of water daily. Haven't excercised at all yet. I walk a lot at my job so I think that helps. Just living day by day. Took a long time to put on this extra weight so it will come off in time! 250 start weight down to 216. 16 pounds until one-derland.

I'm down 33 Lbs 30 the first two weeks 3 lbs the last two weeks. It's coming off!! Yay! Not exercising yet I walk a lot at work just don't have the energy to exercise on this few of calories!

I am having the same pain im 3 weeks And 3 days post op. Have a stabbing pain under my left rib cage. Started back to work three days ago pain started 2 days ago.

I was sleeved the 18th I was down 30 pounds back up one pound this week so loss of 29 pounds 250 down to 221. I haven't lost this week so I guess I am a in the dreaded 3rd week stall. Doing great getting around 70-80 oz of fluids and about 50 grams of protein right now!!

Hello everyone I have been on soft foods since Monday. I notice when I'm eating my soft food which consists of yogurt, cottage cheese, egg salad, and refried beans so far that I will get a tightness in my chest bone with some discomfort. I am taking teeny tiny bites and chewing even though I am eating mush! Anyone else have this happen to them.

He didn't say it was anything to worry about, that maybe I just over did it and my stomach staple line was still healing. I had no fever, and no other symptoms other than the pain.

Today is two weeks and one day for me post op! I'm down 29.6 pounds! I am tired most days and I was supposed to go back to work originally today, but I had severe left side pain about four days ago got scared and the doctor signed off on me staying home another week! Started mushy good yesterday! Yummy! Loving the refried beans, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt and best of all my protein count has increased tremendously! I can usually eat a 1/2 cup of food it takes me the 30 minutes to get it in!! Feeling less pain in left side today so hopefully I'm done with that! I started at 250 and am 220.4 today! 5' 5" tall

Congrats that's awesome!! Not to far until one-derland.

I must say though a catheter in a male is very different than a catheter in a female. Very different anatomy!!

Doing good today. Had a little egg salad for easter lunch while the family dined on ham, mashed potatoes, and all the fixings! Didn't bother me and I cooked the meal. Happy Easter!

Just got finished with my first post-op appointment 12 days out. I went from a BMI of 41% - 37% and I am down 27 pounds! Yay me!!! I am so happy that I had this surgery! How's everyone else feeling???

Yay!! Good job! Isn't it a great feeling!

It does get better and thankfully pretty quickly! Day 5 was the turning point for me. Hang In there
