LOL!!!! I lost an elephant's penis!

Congrats! I can't wait to get there myself.

AWESOME!!! Great job, congrats! I CANNOT wait to take a pic like this in my old size 24s.

Once you start eating dense proteins, you will feel your restriction. I had the same thoughts as you when I was on liquids but as soon as I moved to the soft mushy stage, I now can only eat 4 or 5 bites of protein before I am full. As Peggy53 said, trust us, it will come.

I had the same issue with any of the sugar-free items I tried. They were fine pre-sleeve, but just way too sweet after. 2 months out and I still can't stomach Water flavoring drops or SF popsicles.

I rarely feel hungry so it's a full-time job for me to make sure I eat throughout the day. It would be very easy for me to not eat or drink for hours at a time. It's easier to stay on track during the week at work but on the weekends, I struggle big time.

Awesome!!! Keep up the great work!

Congrats on your success so far. You look great!

Welcome and best of luck to you!

I am almost 8 weeks out and I know that I am not eating enough. I am never hungry and it's so hard to force yourself to eat when nothing seems appealing. When I do eat, I can only get about 5 bites before I'm full. I tend to stick with a few items that go down well. Tuna, chicken, eggs. Am I am still drinking 2 protein shakes a day to make sure I get at least 60g of protein. I struggle to get 500-600 calories a day. Hopefully, it starts getting easier soon.

Surgery Date: July 26 HW 269 SW 248 CW 212

I live right outside Pittsburgh in West Mifflin, PA. Right by Kennywood Park if you have heard of it. Allegheny County. Good to see some other PA folks on here.

Update: Surgery - July 26th HW 269 SW 248 CW 212 I am losing slow but steady. I do know that I am not getting enough calories in each day but it is a struggle for me to eat now. I am never hungry and food has lost all appeal to me. It's a work in progress.

Prayers coming your way. Good luck today!

Congrats and good luck to you today! Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Good luck today! You got this

I hope everything works out for you. Thoughts and prayers headed your way.

You're probably in surgery as I type this but I wanted to wish you the best of luck! Hope you have an easy recovery.

Great attitude to have as you start your journey. Good luck!

I was sleeved 7/26.

Mine does it too. And it always seems to do it while I am on the phone at work. I just know the other person is thinking, what the heck!
