My docs say no carbs at all but dont think it can be done. I sometimes only take in 10 carbs a day and others it can be more.

I have done this a few times myself. Ate too fast or too big of a bite. I do not enjoy the feeling. Where can u get the papaya tablets?

My BMI is now just considered obese! Have lost 39% of my excess body weight in 9 weeks!! Hell yeah! This is the best thing I have ever done for myself! Lovin my sleeve

That is so awesome! You made me cry. I have always felt tiny inside but yes mirror said other wise. I have days where I dont recognize myself in the mirror and then I have other days I feel I haven't changed at all. Congratulations on the new you!!

8 weeks post here and I ate 4 oz of chicken salad for lunch yesterday. Max is 4 to 5 oz for me.

And I had my first follow up with my endocrine doctor! It was awesome. My A1C was 5.2! Thats right 5.2. It been like 7 years since its been that low!! Woot woot!!!

I am 7 weeks post today and have not lost any weight for about 10 days now. Have been retaining some fluid as well. Went to the gym last night. Gotta step it up and start losing again. My fear is this is all my body will loss. Im 40 lbs down. My dr wants me at 212 at my 3 month check which is 5 weeks away. 17 pounds I need to loss. Hope I can do that!!

Thanks guys for the support! We are all in this together!

I wont go into great detail but, I made some bad choices last night....in a few ways actually! But...I made bad choices with what I ate and should not have ate it. I did and now beating myself up for it. I know this happens and we just pick ourselves up and start new today. I know what lead to the bad choice so I know now to avoid that in the future. I did not go through all of this and have lost 40 lbs in 6 weeks to just f*** it up! I am so pissed at myself right now. Just wanted to share my struggle today with people who understand. Thanks for listening.

CONGRATULATIONS! !

Thanks guys! I am glad I am where a lot of people are dt 6 weeks. Also good to hear!

Well I had my 6 wk post op yesterday and went really well. I have lost 40 lbs. so far and 33% of excess body weight! They want you at 20% ! Got a good start and hope it continues. I was a little concerned cause my Nut was shocked I could eat 3 oz. of chicken at a time. Is anyone else eating this amount at 6 weeks? I thought that was par for this point. Please give me feedback.

I have always had boobs. I was a 44DD at 270 and now at almost 6 weeks post and 42 lbs. lost I bought 40 D with some spilling out but not much. Hope they dont disappear, I like my boobs and so does my hubby.

I am 5 weeks post op as of yesterday. I am 5'7" starting weight was 270. Pre op loss= 15 lbs Surgery day= 255 lbs CW= 231 lbs.

Thats awesome! Cant wait to get to onederland! 30 lbs to go! Keep up the great work!

Same thing happened with me as well at 3 weeks out. It got better this week in fact. It will be off and on for up tp 8 weeks I was told. Good luck.

I am 5 weeks post as of today. I have lost 14 lbs pre op diet and 26 since surgery! Total of 40 pounds!! I had a patients husband tell md I was skinny this week! Lol! Felt awesome! One of the doctors I work for said I was almost unrecognizable and he has to do a double take as I walk bye! It is just the beginning! Great things to come my fellow losers!

Mine was after week one and I eat cottage, low fat string and low fat cheddar cheese.

I am almost 4 weeks post and can get around 3 to 4 oz of chicken or tuna down before my sleeve says hey, think I am done here.

You look amazing! Just beautiful! Congratulations on such great success.

I am almost 4 weeks post and have NO energy either. I was wondering if it was normal too.

First off.....CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Awesome success you have had. I am 24 days post op and have had good and bad days. I still have pain in my left side and so very tired 97% of the time, but I am down 20 pounds since surgery total of 34 lbs including preop. Your story is a big pick me up for those of us that are having "down" days. Thank you for sharing. I know things will get better. Just wish my energy level would come back.

Ok, so my pain had gotten better at my 2 wk post op but this week I have had left sided pain again. Its a sharp pain and hurts if I lay on my left side. I go back to work on Monday and really hoping this goes away soon. My doctor said I may have pain and it would be normal. When did you all become pain free?

Thank you so much for the advice. I needed to here that for sure!
