After one week for walking on the treadmill. After 30 days, elliptical, light weights, and swimming. After 6 weeks, zumba and everything else!

That's awesome. I'm stalling right down Probably would help if I could force myself to drink more fluids. Boo

You look great! What are your secrets? What is a typical day like for you? Do you log on my fitness pal?

My nutritionist provided the following guideline - A diet consisting of 600-800 calories, 70-75 grams of Protein, 40-60 grams of carbs and 20-30 grams of fat should be the goal for the first 6 months.

I was sleeved on 4/1/13. I was given the following guidelines: A diet consisting of 600-800 calories, 70-75 grams of protein, 40-60 grams of carbs and 20-30 grams of fat should be the goal for the first 6 months.

You look amazing! I was sleeved on 4/1 and weighed in at 230. I hope to have your success!

Is quick ketosis like a low carb diet?

Do you mix your shakes with almond milk, coconut milk, or Water? I'm glad I found this thread. Yesterday I was thinking about Paleo and borrowed The Paleo Diet Solution from the library. I am only 15 days post op, so I probably can't start Paleo yet.

Surgery 4/1. I lost 14 pounds during the first week. The second week I really didn't lose anything. I think I'm stalling since I started full liquids.

I cannot do soft/pureed foods until 4/21. I also seemed to be stalling. I am going to try to increase my liquids. I still drink so, so slow. I have lost 14 pounds. What kind of foods are you eating?

I start full liquids today. I can have sf pudding and yogurt, but not cream of wheat (unfortunately). I appreciate you posting this as it is what I was searching for today as I started this new phase!

Thanks for all of the responses. I wish mine were dermabonded! I've just been using antibacterial soap and water.

I start full liquids today, so that's exciting. I am feeling really well though. I get out and walk every now and then. I can't wait to do strength training though. I don't want any loose skin!!

How are you cleaning your drain incision? I am 9 days out. Thanks!

Hello! I got sleeved on 4/1/13 by Dr Aceves. I actually went alone though. There is a cafeteria at the hospital. As well as a 7-11 type convenience store a block away and a huge mall 4 blocks away. Everywhere takes USD dollars. You will get a private room with a shower, so your family member/friend would use it. The hospital does have Wi-Fi. There was a small period of hours in which it wasn't working that great. They have a lot of things that you may forget including slippers and heating pad. They give you a cute toiletry kit that includes a toothbrush, soap, shampoo, etc... There wasn't one thing that I needed that I didn't have. There is a slight language barrier especially with the night time nurses since the patient coordinators aren't present; however, you can point to the phrase on your sheet OR use babelfish or something else on your cell phone/Wi-Fi that will translate from English to Spanish. I was pleased with Dr. Aceves as he checked in with me personally on average 3 times a day. He is personable. If you feel like you have a question on need something explained, don't hesitate to ask until it is clarified. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Meka
