Thanks! I've been thinking about this, and I realized that I have grown to be dependent of myfitnesspal, and I have not gone a day without logging food in since my surgery. So I'm terrified of being left with only myself to calculate what I eat. I will not have it of course, because Internet is very expensive on cruises so I cannot afford that. But I am terrified of not being able to use it every time I eat. How do I go about that? I keep thinking. I don't know how many grams of Protein are in each thing. I know, I'm a little obsessed with knowing the protein count of everything.

Thank you all! :-)

I need some advice. Anyone has gone on a cruise so soon after surgery? I don't know what I should be eating? All I eat now is Greek yogurt, babybel, premier Protein, and some other protein drinks/bars. I'm still not used to my sleeve and havent really been eating "real" food. The cruise is in a few weeks (about 4) and I'm starting to freak out a little.

24lbs since surgery at week 7. 40lbs including one week preop diet.

Wow, you look amazing!!! Congratulations! :-)

Oh gosh, yes! That tummy will not give in!

Awesome! It seems we are losing at about the same pace, more or less. 42lbs. Sleeved on sept 27th.

I am going through something similar. I'm losing 1.5 to 2lbs a week now, whereas it used to be 3 to 4 or even 4.5 lbs before. Sleeved sept 27th.

EarthyEater 50% of my meals are cheeses! Lol

Haha, good point. I'm not one of these people who are pissed to be hungry, I just expected less hunger lol. And really and truly, my only concern is that I grow hungrier with time, eat more, and gain weight again! I'm traumatized!

Hahahaha you guys are hilarious :-d

Congratulations!!! Wow!!! I wanna be like you when I grow up lol! I keep thinking I'm going to eventually soon stop losing weight... I can't help it. Did you ever fell that way? Were you very serious with your diet and had a lot of Protein and all your Water?

I second that :-p Though I may post a body shot with no face when I lose enough weight lol

Butter mentioned this, but I would like to emphasize: hunger does not go away for everyone with the sleeve. Mine not only didn't go away, but came back stronger than before. I am very hungry about every two hours or so. I do get filled up very quickly because of the sleeve of course, but the hunger is there before eating, SO THERE. So don't believe that just because you get the sleeve, you will never feel very hungry. It depends on the person.

It's been over 7 weeks, and still nothing. Except for some dark colored spotting yesterday and the day before.

I'm so happy for you!!! :-) I have 15 more pounds to lose before I'm overweight.

You can eat bread? What kind? You must be very far ahead in the surgery :-P

Yuuuuuup. *(Raising my hand)* I definitely fall under the hungry category. I got my real hunger back on day 5 after surgery. And I mean real hunger. I've been hungry ever since, very very often. Thankfully though the hunger goes away after a few small bites of something...

So it isn't so dangerous to have a little alcohol so early out? Weeks, etc..? I know it's bad for the diet we are on, but can it actually hurt you? Anyone?

Haha, yeah, sounds a lot like me right now... It is like a chore! So now you don't measure and track proteins so religiously??? I have trouble seeing the future...

I agree that I live not being able to eat too much. But I can't agree that I love going to restaurants and not focusing on food. As a matter of fact, when I was not watching my diet, I focused more on my friends, and conversation, because I would not think about it, I would just listen, talk, and in between, just eat whatever was in front of me, and drink whatever was there. Whereas now, I am so focused on studying the menu, thinking to myself "what should I order", and when the food comes, I'm focused on "how many grams of protein might that be?" and other little details like that. I'm still very focused on food, just in another way now. Maybe it's because my sleeve is still pretty new and I'm not quite used to it enough, but I find that that is how it's been for me, eating out.

I was just about to post the same. I have pcos and irregular periods, but it's been over 7 weeks since I had my period, and it's been a few days I've been spotting (but darker color than usual) and my period has yet to come. Ugh. :-(
