I don't even really know except that EVERYTHING I ate had protein And I ate more calories than my usual. If you are on MFP my screen name is saraschultz180 and my diary is open. surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 299 GW: 150

Update .... Work is going well with my eating. My principal had the sleeve done 2 weeks before me and we are good friends so it is nice to have someone in the building working through a similar process. Everyone in the bldg keeps calling us "skinny Minnie" the fist day back my assistant kept making me stop mid sentence and telling me " your going to have to start over because I can't even focus on anything except how great you look!" Awesome compliment ! ALSO for the first time since surgery I was able to hit my protein goal of 80 grams yesterday! It made a huge difference in how I felt AND lost 3lbs over night surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 299 GW: 150

I now have clothes that fit me that are NOT stretchy knit shirts OR elastic waist band pants!!!!! Whoot whoot! I put on my favorite pair of jeans I hadn't worn in 6 years!!!!! OMG! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 299 GW: 150

My assistant came back to work today and we haven't seen each other all summer. Her initial shck was incredible but all through the day she would stop me mod sentence and day "oh my gosh you're going to have to start over because I can't even concentrate on what you're surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs.

Thank you for that great tip. I am one who would pack for the week and gobble it right up on day one! I found a great bento like lunch box last weekend and it helps keep portions small and keep me mindful. surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 299 GW: 150

Work starts tomorrow. I'm a little nervous about how to work everything in but I feel confident it will all work out. My lunch/snacks are packed and my supplements are all set up in my pull case. Now someone pray for me please surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 299 GW: 150

About 6 years ago I bought 3 pairs of pants. They are all the same except color. They were way to small once I got them home and I was too embarrassed to take them back. Well good golly today they FIT!!!!!!!!! Sooo excited. It's not a huge size jump but it is a different size! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 299 GW: 150

Well folks I broke 300's I am now 299! I vow here and now to NEVER be that weight again! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 300 GW: 150

I am having the same issues with food. With VERY little exception everything that requires chewing makes me nauseated. I have no problem with my protein shakes or Greek yogurt. I am still not able to eat anymore than about 1.5 oz at a time on a good day. I'm not really sure how much it should be at this point but reading posts I feel like it should be a little more than that. My calories are rarely more than 500 a day but I do manage to get at least 60 g of protein. surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 300 GW: 150

Congratulations! You look incredible! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 300 GW: 150

Such a great feeling! I am experiencing the same! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 300 GW: 150

Thanks! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 300 GW: 150

My "full" feeling is very do feeling is very different post surgery. It is higher up and concentrated in a small area just below my sternum. It is worse than uncomfortable and I have only been there a couple of times .... One of which I got very sick. surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 300 GW: 150
