gettin there

Yes,the chicken flavor is very good also.

Unjury is good,I but it in mash potatoes .

Not long lol. I am only 6 weeks post op,so I can only it eat pureed so its like liquid. I don't really consider what I am eating a meal. I did try a egg but ot was to dry and it hurt ,them I threw it up. Wasn't supposed to have it anyway.

Are you having pain when you eat? How much have you lost?

I think you guys are doing very well.I don't think I am getting enough calories to loose,if that makes any sense.

When you guys post weight loss is that total or post op?

Sleeved 7/8 and on pureed food, will be on it til

9/8.

Sleeved July 8 down 19 post op. 32 total from pre op. Slow...

I had surgery the same day and lost 12 pre op 18 post op. I too get frustrated at times because others have lost soo much more than me' date=' but im committed to this new life style. Im sticking to the food plan and exercising, I know itll all work out and be worth it in the long run!! Stay focused and have faith we can do this! I totally agree though.. its a major ajustment.[/quote']

I have only lost 19 post op. I am sure I am not getting enough calories.

Whose having surgery in july? my date is the 9th!

Mine was 7/8

I like the carbonation ,so if it goes flat theres no point drinking it to me.

Curious how soon after surgery you were able to give up meds for things like cholesterol' date=' high blood pressure, sugar/diabetes? My husband and I are maybe 10 days post-op (I can't keep up with the days), and already it seems as though he really shouldn't be taking his blood pressure medication because his blood pressure is too low if he does.

He's lost 20 lbs since we started and has another 60+ to go, so it seems really early for it to be making an impact. Of course we're also only able to eat 500 cals a day so not sure if that is part of what's making his pressure drop and making him light-headed. We're making all our Protein and Water requirements, just can't hit the additional calories.

On less than 500 cals, he's already walking two miles a day in the Texas heat and that worries me. So not sure how much of his lowered blood pressure is surgery related vs. lack of food related.

What was your experience? Thanks in advance for sharing. I'm a little worried about him.[/quote']

I stopped before I left hospital,they gave it (blood pressure med ) in hospital and dropped my bp too low. So doc said I didn't need it.

Are you still on pureeds? What do you mean he makes sleeeves small?

They choose?

I found out my sleeve is about the size of my pinky finger. No wonder it feels like everything is stuck in my throat.

Are you still on pureeds? What do you mean he makes sleeeves small?

They choose?

Yes apparently they do make them different sizes,yes I am on pureed til next month.

Hang in there! It does get better each week. First two weeks were the worse for me. I was sleeved on July 8th and each week has been better.

How are you doing now that we have been sleeved a month,I am still on pureed. Get sick if I try any thing other.apparently my Dr.makes sleeves very small.

Hello! I was sleeved July 8th. Day of surgery I was 246. As of yesterday' date=' I am 216. started taking my Multivitamin this past week. Just went back to work as of yesterday. It's a struggle, however Im doing it. The hardest part is not snacking while sitting at my desk out of boredom. Really looking forward to the journey. Can't wait to get the clear to go back to the gym! [/quote']

I was sleeved on same day 7/8 I started 242 and I am done to 215 .I am still on pureed food. I did try a egg but threw it up,do back to pureed for another month.

I'm so pumped with my weight loss that I took the plunge and chopped all my locks off. Woot woot.

Looks great

Hello' date=' I just had my sleeve done July 10, 2013. I have been taking my multi in the morning. I noticed that many of you are taking a multi both morning and night is that something that is common with sleeve patients?[/quote']

Shoot yes,I am taking a bunch of Vitamins.I am trying to find a Bariatric Vitamin that well cover all these individual ones I am taking now.

One month post-op today and down 28 lbs yay !!!

Is that including pre op diet? Or after surgery. I think I am in for a slow loss.

^{Did you do the 2-week liquid diet prior to surgery? I was sleeved on July 8th also!}

Yes,total of 16 since pre op.but only lost 3 or 4 lbs since then.

My date is July 8th. So excited except for the liquid diet.

Anyone else on the 8th?

I was on the 8 th,2 weeks out tomorrow. Only down about 3/4 lbs after surgery.

Wow
