MyMMymm My Surgeon said to only Drink Medical Grade Protein. They are a little more expensive but your Body will absorb them much better and you will not need to drink as much. So if using Medical grade protein I can aim for the lower end of 60 to75 grams a day. I have done well and NO HAIR LOSS either…. My Surgeon said to only Drink Medical Grade Protein.

I was drinking Protein Shakes in Surgery Center, however only 2 oz at a time for the first few weeks.

I was thinking today I need to go get a New Bra, thanks for the POST, My Boobies are needing perked up!

Do you have your gallbladder? I had the SAME issue, after 4 weeks of pain, heartburn, indigestion, they found out it was my gallbladder, and a side effect of the WLS. Good Luck.

I am glad you posted this, I have had the same thing happen. It is hard for Me to eat or even drink a protein shake till about 10 am. Even when the doctor wants me to have breakfast sooner. What have y'all found that helps?

My sense of smell it in overload…..I think everything at my house smells dirty, especially my washing machine and clothes, and My 10 yr old son, my husband says I am crazy and they smell fine……

Full Very FAST and at 5 months out I have NOT even been Hungry yet!!!! Be careful cause one bite to much and YOU are Stuffed like a Thanksgiving Trukey!!!

Only told my Husband and one good friend, after 4months post op, I told one more close friend....Still happy that I did not tell anyone else...

We were getting ready to head out to my oldest daughters Softball game, when my 5yr old asked, “Mom, are you wearing that shirt?”…..”I said Yes, why?” She laughed and said “Mommy, it is to BIG!” That made my day!!!! Guess it is time to go shopping!!

.Hi I am not sleeved yet but my surgery is approaching, I have read hundreds of posts and have come to the conclusion that some lucky ones like yourself are left with that gift, Yes I call that a gift I am a compulsive eater and food addict and I pray my body responds like that. So I wont be able to go back to my wicked ways and work through my problems with food. I will also pray that your body responds the same way....and as I said it is not a cure all, but it is day and night from before the surgery...I am 5 months out and still NOT been actually hungry at all not even once......Best of Luck to you!

I so know about food addiction, I did not get to 264lbs with out eatting past the point of Full,then only a few hours later eat again... However AFTER the sleeve, I just can NOT do it....I have eatten to much a time or two but was SO sick I do not want to do that again....So I think YES the Sleeve helps with Food Addiction. As a "Tool" you can not continue to eat and eat, your body will NOT let you. So My Point is Yes, the Sleeve will Help you with Food Addiction. You still have to work on your thoughts and way of thinking, but will HELP for sure.

I and finding it odd, at how many ppl are saying how easy it is to eat around the sleeve...I dont know if I am having other Issues or Just Lucky, but at 5 months out I STILL cant eat MUCH of anything...

I think it helps, not a cure, but I find at almost 5 months out, I do NOT have the desire to eat the same way, Food Make me fill yucky...Lot interest in food, for more than fule...I know everyone is different, but I was a Major Closet Eater, and Lots and Lots of food. Now it will not fit, not even the "slider"foods....Good Luck wiht your decision, and remember everyone is different.

Love Love Love this......I feel that way at the gym....I have heard ppl talking about the "fad" diet I went on ( i just found out last week I am doing a fasting 3 days a week,in order to Lose my weight)....HaHa, guess that was News to me..LOL, I just say Keep on Talking Cause I am gonna Lose MORE!!!

That is GREAT!!! Way to go!

My advice it to weigh in only once a MONTH.....you body is gonna go through LOTS of changes, dont drive yourself crazy with weighing to often, if you must maybe twice a Month NO MORE...Just my thoughts.....Good Luck! and YOU will LOSE weight if you follow the plan, No dout.

Thanks for you post, I also get light headed when standing or bending over...I will look into blood sugar...I am going to Dr today. THanks and WOW way to go, Great Job!!!

WHat is the Name of the Book??????

Yes, i am dealing with this and it is hard....I dont have advise, just wanted to be part of the post so I can see what everyone else has to say..... So thanks for the topic.

Congrats, what is the "couch to half marathon"? is it a running Program?

I dont know about you, there was NO way I could have......maybe just try a little little at a time? Good Luck, and remember everyone is different and to alwyas do what is best for you.

the whole foreign object in my body make me feel sick. the time and money of keeping it filled and they slip

Drink Drink Drink, or post Sleeve Sip Sip Sip, I became dehrydrated and it is NOT fun.... So Sip sip sip on Fluids all day for a few months for sure. I still have a water bottle with me at all times taking little sips. And your head hunger will still be with you after the surgery, Just dont give in to " her" and I am hoping one day after I do not feed "her" for longe enough, she will DIE!

I cannot be the only one that absolutely hates the “small bathroom stalls”…..You know the ones where you have to straddle the toilet to open the door and when you sit down your thighs and arms hit the side…..Well yesterday, I had to use the “small stall”….I started to sweat and was over come with panic as i entered... Then I sat down…WOW what the hell, I had enough Room!!!! WOW for NSV!! I love my sleeve, today anyway….

Protein Protein Protein, Water Water Water, Move Move Move....Good Luck it will happen!
