WoW, your doing great. Can you give us an example of your average day ... Exercise and food intake?

When I got to that stage I still thinned stuff down and it worked. When I finally tried fish last week and its getting easier. Sounds like you are still swollen.

Hello, I was sleeved on Nov. 6th. I lost 14 lbs pre-op and have lost 30 lbs. since surgery. I lost 23 lbs. my first week and the rest a pound every few days. I am not counting calories but I am walking a few nights a week. I plan to start walking every night but so far have not stuck to that plan

Wow, 4 months for 105 lbs. that's awesome !! Congrats !!

At 10 days out you are still on liquids. I had the same problem but that all changed when I finally got to start eating food again! Just wait and it will happen!

Hey Star I agree with O.T.R. But what I wanted to suggest is that if he did have issues with your loose skin you could always call on one of us sleeved guys that would totally understand and be very happy to get it

Kc5077, Don't get discouraged while you are still on the liquid phase. In a couple weeks when you get to start eating again you will know its working cause you will get full from very little food. I'm only 26 days post op and I get full before I finish my 4 ounces at most meals!

I spent a couple hundred dollars looking for a Protein drink I could ( excuse the pun ) stomach. I bought all sorts of stuff cause people said it was good. So, everyone is different when it comes to taste buds but the one I was finally able to deal with is actually good for a Protein Drink. I went with Cinnamon Roll by Pep-Tide. I mix it with skim milk. The Protein powder is 18 grams of protein per scoop and the milk has 9 grams of protein for 8 ounces so that's 27 grams of protein in one glass. It also cost less than alot of them. It was only $32 for the big jug. Hope this helps and good luck!

Oh, just wanted to say good ideal not to weigh just yet. I weighed more when I got out of the hospital from all the IV fluids they pumped in me while I was there. I weighed 7 lbs more after surgery then before.... I lost that in the first week along with 16 more lbs. I was down 23 lbs from surgery till my 1 week follow up visit to the Doc's office.

Congrats! I am only 25 days out and life is almost back to normal. It gets ALOT better as soon as the pain goes away which for me was probably by day 4. Once you get to the soft food diet (2 days ago for me) life feels like normal again. I am down 42 lbs. so far. Good luck!
