That's great! Hearing this gives me encouragement. Im 3 weeks in and down 23lbs.. I was ur same size when started.

I had my sleeve done on sept.21 so I’m a little over 2 weeks in. I have days that i wake up with tons of energy then about 3 or 4 hr in I’m crashing... I mean I don’t have any energy at all. I’ve only lost 22 lbs in the first week. I didn’t lose anything last week or this one so far. I know I’m not eating right. I have found carbs are so much easier to go down and I can’t seem to eat without drinking. One other thing Im eating that I shouldn’t is potato chips. I was so hoping that was one of the things I would lose a taste for. It’s just they are so easy to go down. If you chew a few times it’s like eating mashed potatoes. Lol… Getting my Protein in is a struggle also. I love coffee so I bought some instant flavored coffee mix and I put a couple table spoons of chocolate flavored Protein Powder in.
I read this blog almost every day to see what everyone is experiencing. Some of you say eating is a chore and I so agree with that. I hate the fact I struggle with food.< /p>
Any thoughts, advice,prayers or scaring me into eatting right will be helpful!
everyone have a blessed and great day!

15 days out, nutritionist moved me to pureed yesterday so I could start getting protein.. None of the liquid Proteins agree with me and go right through me... I came home and had some egg salad... OMG that was the best egg salad lol.... I am starting to feel a bit better as a result of eating food with at least some texture....

Yep you are so right!!!

Went for my two week post-op checkup. Restrictions lifted. Going to go back to work on Monday, but think I will do 1/2 days for a week. I get to move to puréed foods on Saturday. The best part is that I have lost 31 lbs since my pre-op appointment. Yeah!!!!!!

I think that we've all had some bad back pain. Especially in the beginning. Mine has mostly subsided. And I'm 2 weeks post op. Try drinking some light juices maybe instead of broth. Sometimes the Soups and broth in the beginning just made me gag. At first my doc was mostly concerned that I get in my Water and my Vitamins.< /p>

I too have had some back pain. Yesterday was pretty bad but it was also my first day of soft solids so eggs, cottage cheese, applesauce. Most everything felt stuck and when that happens it radiates to my middle upper back. I am assuming this is normal.
