Wow how much weight did you loose so far in 8 weeks?

I was march 20th I advanced my diet this saturday I felt great Friday so I read what my body was telling me and iam on puréed food. I even better than I did on Friday .Good luck .

Why hide the fact -take all the complements you can earned them. People say we took the easily way out I say you doit and tell me how easy it is. I changed my life 180 degrees for the better

At this stage I would just worry about the protein and hydrating. With my proteins iam getting around 500 calories a day. To be honest I didn't think about counting calories yet. I advanced to purée food on Saturday and today I had about 510 calories again I didn't count until I read this thread. We are going thru a lot I think it is more important to make sure you are hydrating and getting your proteins in.This will make your body heal faster and when we get to soft/mushy foods than we will start worrying about it.JMO

Just hang in there and stay focused . It's head hunger these cravings your getting. That is crazy you were able to eat all that at 11 days out you have to be carful we don't want see you to injure your self. When i i have been getting these cravings I have been just drinking lots of water and if its to bad I go for a walk. I am 11 days post op and I had to advance my diet -I did it with out talkin to my Nut. I was feeling back to normal and I needed some substance example purée shrimp parm, 4 shrimp ,table spoon of Garvey , pinch of low cal Mozzetta cheese ,I throw in my ninja and its the best thing I tasted in a long time 22grams of protein on top of it. Just do your best to stay focused and tell your nut or doc what you did they might to chk you out. Good luck hang in there

I am thinking about taking boxing lessons when I am completely healed up but I am hesitant to do so .I don't want to rupture my sleeve. , Has anyone have the same concerns or fears?or got a rupture in the same manor like karate, mma or even a good ol bar fight.

I felt pretty good yesterday iam one week out all my pains are except the left side hurts when breath in and starting to get a little pain in my left shoulder. I took some gas x and some of the pain on the left side of me chest has subsided. Is it just gas?No fever no dizziness. I have been doing things to the T! I am freaking out a little as usual. Down 28 lbs in 7 days.

Iam 7 days out most pains went away except I have a pain on my left side when I breathe in. It's not a Sharp pain but feels sore when I breathe in.i think it's just healing pains, iam getting more than enough fluids an protein, already lost 27 lbs.

Iam 6 day post op and iam having 1 cup of Greek yogart with a table spoon of taco seasons mixed in. 9 days to go before puréed food. Already down 25lbs

I got weighted on Monday and sleeved on Wednsday so far 13 lbs.. I am getting my liquids in but I feel like poop!

Congrats I got mine done this morning ,everything is A.O.K. a little bit of gas pain but it was a pc of cake.i think I will be going home tomorrow ,good luck to all

Iam feeling greAt I had my surgery at around 1030 this morning.i was very uncomfortable when I woke up but know i just some trap gas and usual chronic back and leg pain. I was expecting the worst but hell this is the best decision I ever made, I have had back pain worse than this. If anyone is thinking about backing out please reconsider because I almost did, but my wife put her foot down.. Lol Good luck to every one who is getting done in the future , if someone want needs to talk about my surgery please message me
