Hey let me give you a little advice. If you drink soda stop now! Lol it was like a shock to my system! I didn't follow the pre op diet either and really wish now I had. I did the doctor ordered 1 week prior to surgery liquid Protein shakes. I am so glad that I had this surgery! Life changing!!! -
I'm 3 months out. Since I'm a stay at home wife/mom I don't need much clothing. I wear sweats with draw strings a lot. I had a few pants in my closet but I've almost shrunk out of those! I bought a brand new pair of jeans almost to tight to zip so I can wear them a little longer! Try good will yard sales and second hand stores!

I'm 3 months out. I had surgery 12/3 and stopped drinking diet dr pepper in nov. I still miss it but no longer crave it. I drink crystal light or water. I don't make bad food decisions anymore either because I'm worry that they'll make me sick plus I spent so much on this surgery that I don't want it to be wasted. You'll do great. Join my fitness pal it really helps!

Welcome to the first day of your new life!!!! -
That's true it does go down easily and it's not that stuffed feeling but I notice it passes faster so I tend to get hungry a little sooner but them I just drink water
-
Mine was. It's to focus on Protein. Now I'm 3 months out and 4 meals a day with 3 oz protein 1 oz fruit or veg. Trust me 1 oz of spinach leaf is alot
-
I wasn't allowed to have raw until 3 months out. I do spinach mix and its wonderful.

I just knew she measured wrong! Sadly no so I'm praying they shrink or I'll have to add a breast reduction to my list! -

Here's a question for the ladies?????? I'm down 66 lbs my waist line is shrinking. I went to buy a new bra and my cup size went way up! The girl said its normal because they are tuning into skin. I was a little taken aback. Any of u had this happen? -
I was that way at first. Didn't feel like getting out to walk but it really does help

Pain with surgery, what can I expect?
abridgie replied to jc4444's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Another thing your not going to feel like it but WALK. My doctor had me walking about 3 hrs after I woke up. Not like a marathon but down the hall and back. I held a pillow to my stomach and that really helped. I had a pain pump but really didn't use it much because it made me itch -

I had that as well and I didn't feel any worse. I use to drink water and get horrible heartburn but with that fixed I no longer get heartburn! -
8 days post of I was fighting to get an oz in so your doing well! I wouldn't worry about stretching since its liquid just remember to stop when u feel full and you'll be fine

My hubby the garbage disposal
abridgie replied to ChristenOnAmission's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Honestly I sat the family down and said we can't have junk in the house for a while. They agreed but then I caught them sneaking it in and hiding it. To honest after surgery I don't even crave it anymore. I went through a drive thru because my 9 yr old claimed if he didn't eat right then he would die. Ya the burger and fries smelled really good but I didn't want it! -

That just shows every surgeon is different mine wants 800-900 daily which is hard but when I was only getting 400-600 I would get light headed a lot. What's funny to me is before dec I could eat 3000 calories a day and not blink now I fight for 700! I love this new life -

Great protein and around 150 calories -

I'm waiting on that to happen but praying it doesn't. I bought the extra hair, nail, & skin vitamins -
I'm 3 months out. I'm eating 3 to 4 oz about 4 times a day. I stop when I feel full. How much is everyone else eating? My biggest fear is that my stomach will stretch!

I'm 3 months out and eating 3 to 4 oz 4 times a day. I consume around 600-800 calories which I find works great for me but I'm just wondering if my oz are correct

I removed all scales from my home before surgery. I weigh at doctors appointments only. I don't want to be a slave to the scale.
