Shamrock

I'm 22 and going into a health field as well after college. THe docs told me the same thing about alcohol. I've already decided that for a while I"m going to be just drinking cranberry juice and sip on it all night to keep the image up. It's good to see there are some people this end of 20 on this website haha. Good Luck with the surgery!

@Sadler,-I was A LOT heavier out of the hospital. I'm down quite a bit from leaving and losing all of the IV weight and all of my clothes still fit roughly the same so I'm sure you are doing better than you think! Keep up the exercising and it'll come off fast! Have you tried moving to a 1% milk as a buffer before skim to ease into it? Now that it's been a week I've been having more energy and have gotten an appetite again which is nice. Today was the fist day where I thought "Man I ate a lot today" and it was really just milk, Protein and Soup. It's amazing that now even two weeks before the surgery I felt like I could hork down a whole pizza and still feel like I could eat a bit more for dinner.

So I'm only 4 days post op, so I'm just looking for some tips in the upcoming weeks. I'm down a little bit of weight and that is going well, I'm just still recovering a bit.. I'm still on the Protein with Water and all that, so I haven't chewed anything in a while so it's getting old. How is the eating down the road? Any favorite recipes? Is anyone back to lifting weights? I'm big into weights and am kinda discouraged that I can't lift for a few months. I feel like my muscles are just wasting away at this point. Just looking for some different and thoughts. Thanks

I'm a Dec 17 Sleeve as well. I've been feeling okay with just a bit of discomfort. If you don't mind me asking, how is the weight loss so far? I'm just curious what other people are up to. Or down to. You get it
