Anyone use my fitness pal app? Counts calories and tells you how much Protein and Vitamins you have in per day. You can even scan barcodes.

Add me asifitsthelast.

Lol I looked at my finger tips and they are wrinkly too..??

I've been told drink Water lol.

YES! Has to do with Water intake and change in diet.

Good back to work. Still sporting the hole. Its closing slowly. How are you?

The tips of my fingers have wrinkled

Surgery 1-16

500-600 daily

264 day of surgery

239 today

i was told at 4 weeks they expected me to loose less then gastric bypass patients which is 25% of your excess weight. I lost that exact amount. I am to eat 3 -1 ounce meals (protein) right now with a little bit of cooked veggie (a bite) and a Protein Shake. I have been having more than that bc I have had issues getting Protein in through shakes and still met their goal. Everyone is different and I find every dr is different. I was sleeved 1/16. Have you been walking?

Heating pads!!! I used one on my abdomen and chest when I got home. I burped all day one day and finally passed gas the day after. Gas x doesn't work just saying.

Im one week postop I drank out of a straw 2 days ago not thinking and I instantly threw up I dont know if it was the straw ir I drank to fast and took down to much liquid

Straws let in air when you use them. My Dr told me no more straws period.

I have been so lucky that my fiancee has changed his eating habits. He eats everything I eat. But he will have beef and steak. I have to say it doesn't make me jealous. I can eat it eventually. He lost 15 lbs already because he stopped eating out.

But no one f's with my popsicles...just saying lol.

fyi dont eat fish sticks lol. not a lot of true Protein. tilapia, tuna (tuna steak), salmon, real crab all have around 20 grams of protein in 3 oz. easy to cook. and smack him with a fish stick.....

Miralax. it doesnt work immediately but it doesnt hurt. you go naturally without the omg the cramps. i was in the same situation a few days ago. it took a day but its awesome.

loaded nothing too special

ive got some comparison photos!!! im gonna put them on my page. The side view is horrible bc im swollen still lol. but you can see the difference.

Going back to work 2-20, Dr says I can go back with a wound. just cover and pack properly and wear my abdominal binder. I have been out of work since 1-16 so I am ready. Still a little sore but better every day.

I hope you are healing ok....

healing but still holey lol. I have a drs appt this morning. The hole is almost 3 inches deep. Hopefully I can get back to work by the first.

Updated my profile. In a few days ill take my one month pics. I don't see the diff in myself but pics don't lie lol.

I've done that....and threw up.

Oh so I threw up. You will know when you have overdone it. You feel it in your chest. I'm having such and issue with Protein Shakes that I'm eating more food. I have an open hole in my belly that needs to heal. tuna, salmon, real crabmeat,chicken. I guess I ate my salmon too fast the other day and up every thing came. I went back to Soups the next day. I'm not eating crazy amounts. Just a few more ounces.

How are you doing today. You have been on my mind. Been praying for you. How long have you been in the hospital? Take it easy and rest.

I'm home and healing. Nurses come and repack me twice a day. The hole is slowly getting smaller. But I hope it happens in 2 weeks.

Ok...I'm hungry...starving a little....sooooo I chewed a piece of baked chicken about 30 times and swallowed....nothing happened. My sleeve accepted it very well. I am 9 days postop' date=' but so know that I didn't eat another piece...Ughhh[/quote']

Don't feel guilty I did the same thing with fish not bc I was hungry. Its mental for me. I don't feel hungry anymore my stomach just makes weird noises or moves a lot. I am 24 days out from surgery and I cannot get Protein in to save my life the shakes make me gag...long story...but you will know if you have over done it you feel it in your chest.

Yah almost 30 lbs
