Thanks

Can I still join the fun?

Come to think of it, I'm 6 weeks out today and I've never felt full drinking anything really. You didn't stretch your sleeve out.

Hey I'm down to 250lbs today marks my 9th week post op. Feeling great I've been easing cardio back into my life as of last week. Thanks for asking

Wow, tuna never tasted so good. Lol

My starting weight was 275. day of surgery was September 6th I was 265. Today I am 238 lost 37 pounds

Hi I'm Angie and new to this site. I got my VSG on Sept. 27,2013. As a revision. I'm excited with the support you all show each other. Look forward to the road ahead.
My pre weight was 274
Pre-op weight 260
And today's weight 245
Down 29 pounds

I was sleeved 09/18. Have lost 21 pounds since surgery. Hit a bit of a stall this week but am still very happy with what I've lost. Have had a few episodes of diarrhoea but I think that comes from trying to eat too much at one sitting. Old habits die hard!
Strangely enough I feel at my best when I don't eat. Protein has been a bit of a no-no with me. I can eat potatoes.
However I feel really good. I have so much more energy. I can now walk up the two short flights of stairs to my apartment and not be out of breath. I have already stopped two of my four blood pressure pills. My ankles are no longer 'cankles' which is a major bonus!
This op for me has been a lifesaver. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Mine did for a few days, but it comes right back down. Could still be Fluid from surgery or whatever. A lot of people on the site say do NOT weigh everyday. Anyway, try not to stress it too much. I promise it will get better and you will lose:)

WELLL, don't exercise too much! hah Isn't that nice to hear! My sleeve was 9/3 so tomorrow I will be 5 weeks out:) I am feeling sooooo much better!! I can't do the Protein Drinks either...just try to get in as much as possible with food...it's a work in progress:)

So I have an issue with keeping things to myself... In that I can't lol.
I've always been extremely open and honest with everyone about everything to a fault. I guess I figure if I lead a transparent life then I am completely accountable for my choices.
So most people at work know, and I've kinda hinted around it on my FB page. I guess I didn't come right out and say it because I didn't feel like dealing with all the crap from some people.
I've gotten a mixed bag of reactions. And I really couldn't care less what others think. I'm doing this for me, not for them. My main reason for the surgery and weight loss is because I have spinal arthritis, and I am just too young to not be able to do the things I want to do. So, if they want to be supportive, great, if not... Well I don't see them having to deal with chronic pain :-)
Do whatever makes you happy and if you want to tell someone, go for it. If not, that's your business!

I'm two years out and eating anything I want. My portions are smaller and I always start with Protein then veggies.. I have an occasional dessert. Stay focused on this time of the plan. You'll lose the most amount of weight during these next 4 - 6 months. I wish I had been more controlled during the beginning like your in. I promise your gonna be able to eat normally..just not as much as you used to. For example tonight I had steak and broccoli Sugar Free Chocolate pudding for dessert.

I'm just 3 weeks and struggling to get my calories in with my Protein and liquid.< /p>

You sure he was giving you pure Protein ....

My md had me walking a mile day of surgery! He had me do laps around nurses stations daily. He cleared me to do anything I wanted to do when I got released. I can't push myself to much because I get dizzy, light headed and faint and I'm 2wks out.

Wow jar312 I'm tired just reading your post. Are you still taking the Vitamins & eating 50-60 GMs of Protein? If not, that will zap your energy. Also with finishing school & trying to log 100 miles in a month, maybe you are just stretching yourself too thin (no pun). Try backing off some intense exercise time & check how you're eating, if things don't improve maybe you need to check with the doc. Keep up the great work, and rest when you can.

I'm 1 month post surgery. Fortunately my bariatric doctor has a gym. I get there 3 days/week for 30 min of cardio - bike/elliptical and weight/strength. Progressing slowly; but progressing. Very out of shape after years of obesity & my sedentary office job.

I told everybody because I was happy that I wanna do it

September 26 was my 1 yr surgiversary!!! I can't believe how quickly the time has passed and what an amazing journey this is.. I went from 250 being my heaviest to 235 day of surgery to 147 as of today.. I have lost a total 103lbs and I'm not looking for them ever again.. Getting my sleeve was the best thing I could have ever done.. I ???? it and my only regret is not getting sooner... ????

Protein, protein, protein! Plus a little fruit or veges if there is room. So, eggs, chicken, turkey,
cheese, greek yogurt, etc. Love things like chili and Soup. And low-carb tortilla with all
kinds of fillings. Best recipe is lasagna cups, found on this website. Speaking of pizza,
I had a piece of hubby's pizza the other day. It tasted wonderful, but I was hungry an hour
later. Not enough protein, I suspect.
You can eat a wide variety of foods, in moderation. It's a wonderful journey!
