Me too. I wore jeans about a week and a half after surgery. I was super sore!!!

I had my surgery Feb 26, so this Tuesday makes 6 weeks.

I think I'm going to change it up too! Pure protein!

I drink with my meals. Idk if I will regret it later. I also drink Coke Zero all the time. I'm a bad influence so don't do as I do!

I needed 2 weeks but my surgeon gave me 5 weeks. I was really sick the first week. The second week, I was sore and getting used to my sleeve. It was nice being off work!

Has anyone noticed a dramatic decrease in hunger around 2 months post op? All of the sudden, I'm not nearly as hungry. The only thing I can think of is less head hunger. I'm loving this though!

Have you tried Remicare? If you go to the remicade website, they off a discount to people who need remicade. It's like $50/infusion, depending on if you have a deductible. My rheumy wanted me to take remicade but the first couple infusions are like $200 then it goes down to $50 so I said I would wait and keep taking my enbrel until I become a nurse...

I have ankylosing spondylitis too and I'm about sick of this tylenol! That does nothing for my inflammation!

LoL! yes! it wasn't much puke at all! I was sleeve 5 weeks ago.

I just puked for the first time since I got sleeved. I ate way too fast (the way I used to eat) and all of the sudden... BLAH!!! Lesson learned!!!

I eat whatever I want to eat. Sometimes I make shrimp and asparagus and sometimes I eat Taco Bell. My main goal is maintaining my protein between 50-70 grams. I really LOVE Greek yogurt. I have that almost everyday for breakfast. I also have some Wonderslim products that I eat from too. Cottage cheese, laughing cow cheese, chicken salad, ham salad, beef angus burger (no bread). I do a fairly good job at getting my proteins in. I feel fine, I'm not starving to death. I just wanted to know if anyone else's doc wants them to eat 1200 calories per day? From what I've read on here, most people like to stay at 800 calories when losing and 1200 for maintenance.

I had my 1 month (really, 5 weeks) post op appointment today. My surgeon's PA told me I needed to increase my calories. I'm eating between 700-1000 calories per day. What is everyone else taking in and how many months post op are you?

Sounds yummy!!!!

I had it 2 weeks post op. at first it hurt but now it doesn't and I just sip. It does make me gassy too so be careful. I mostly drink water. Also, diet coke and coke zero are BIG NO NOs!!! It hurts so bad I think because its acidic and carbonated. So I drink diet sprite or something like that. And not much of it either.

This is what I'm had for lunch. Shrimp, marinaded in Hawaiian marinade and asparagus sautéed in Smartbalance butter. All tipped with lemon pepper!!! It was yum and I could barely finish it!

I'm a little more than a month out and yes, I can only eat maybe 4 or 5 bites and then I'm full. Then maybe a couple hours later I'm hungry again. It is very nice! I love my sleeve! Now if I could only fight off the bad food triggers, I'd be in there like swim wear!!!

I had a white peach sangria from Applebees the other day and I'm one month post op. Felt good going down but I didn't even get buzzed from it.

You look beautiful!! And you're allowed to eat cheetos, just in moderation. =)

Congrats!!! Welcome to the club! =) I'm one month out and I've lost 28 pounds!

I had quite a bit of pain with my surgery. I had surgery Feb 26 (1 month ago today!!) and I'm not having pain any more but I do feel a slight stretching sensation when I stretch my abs. It will go away. Between my second and third week, that's when I really started feeling better but I would still feel sore under my incisions whenever I would go out to the grocery or out with my friends. It is just a healing process. Good luck!

I never knew that about weight loss! Very interesting!

It will come off, I promise you. We all go through stalls. Just try to get in as much Protein as you can (I know this can be hard) and drink tons of Water. I think the water is really key, though protein is important too. Good luck!

I never liked my Protein shakes either. I tried to drink them but they made me nauseated. So I started eating cottage cheese and greek yogurt. Both are awesome sources of protein and not a lot of calories. And they are HEAVEN when you haven't eaten anything since surgery, lol! I'm surprised you could eat a pickle because my taste buds were so off when I started eating soft foods that I couldn't eat anything too sweet or salty. Mashed potatoes tasted like an ash tray to me, lol!

I waswed to have soft food one week after surgery. I was allowed to have soft food one week after surgery. I did go through a stall, right around 10 days also. Eventually you will lose. Quit weighing yourself everyday, you will drive yourself crazy! As long as you are taking in a decent amount of Protein and drinking your Water, and not eating too many calories: you will lose. Deep breath!
