  1. I am dealing with the same thing right now. 2 weeks post op. I am trying not to get frustrated, I mean I am following all the rules it is impossible to not lose weight right! I feel thinner and eventually my crapo scale will agree with me and until then I will keep on keeping on!
  2. I waited one week. My doc said whenever I was ready!
  3. Just did a new video
  4. Just got my explanation of benefits and hospital billed over $58K! I only pay max $1500 a year out of pocket and between pre op and surgery unpaid that much.
  5. 60-80 and it is a struggle. Today I will probably actually hit it for the first time.
  6. I am 11 days post op and eating between 200-400 calories a day. I am concerned that when I up my calories I will stop losing or even gain. Maybe not because I will be able to exercise more? How many calories should I be eating? My doc never gave me a range.
  7. When do you start full liquids? Then you can have yogurt!
  8. Banana muscle milk is awesome. Just tried it today. It is high in calories but I only had 1/2. I also have isopure.,,,,yak! I will get there!
  9. For the record I am also not much for spitting! Lol! For now I will stick to smelling yummy cravings!
  10. I take the same Nexium and it is hard. Try mixing in protien shake.
  11. 1/4 cup tomato soup and 1/4 cup ricotta cheese. Delish! I usually can't finish.
  12. Mine tasted like soapy lemon water and I did vomit quite a bit afterwards. It was dark blood and actually made me feel better. It wasn't a lot of stuff to drink and it was fast!
  13. Yes. I asked. I even put protien powder in my soups and puddings. Today I didn't have a shake I put unflavored in my crystal light. I just hate counting them as a meal. I need more. I am only getting 300 or less calories per day!
  14. I am way to early to eat it but I will dream about it tonight!
  15. It is impossible for me to get my protien in if I only eat 3 times a day and a shake is considered a meal! Help! 10 days out!
  16. This is just what I needed to read right now. I am feeling pretty down right now. I am only 10 days out and I just want something other than a liquid. I want pizza so bad! I read on this board before that you just have to take each day and remember in a year from now this will be a memory!
  17. I have seen a commercial for every take out and frozen pizza today! I may cry now! Lol!
  18. I get some sort of high from cooking for others now! Maybe smelling the food helps. Lol!
  19. First few day were hell! By 1 week post op I felt 100%. Problem is getting fluids in while returning to normal life.
  20. Had my sleeve 5/22. Started pre op diet 1 week earlier. Have lost 26lbs since start of pre op diet. Why am I not happy with that? Shouldn't I be? After everything to get here I guess my brain expected my body to be at goal when I got out of surgery. Lol! I can't be the only one dealing with this.....right?
  21. For me less than a week but the first 3 days I wanted to die!
