So im 2 years abd a few months out. I lost alittle over 100 lbs initiallt and got to 175. Over the last year im ay 193-196 depending on the day. Everything internally has pretty much been going ok. My question at this point is should i still be using protein powder? I get my needed amount of protein from meals mostly and i still try to eat as healthy as possible. And if i do use powder should i replace a meal with it or should it just be extra protein? I would ask my dr's these questions but about a year out i oost my job and my insurance so i havent been able to afford to see my dr. Any advice is helpful. Also i do still work out but not as often as i would like because of finances and dad life.

Hey i havent been to my dr in almost a year because i lost my job and am now workiny under the table so i have no isnurance. Ive been trying to wing it. I had my surgery 2 years ago and lost about 90 lbs but have had some weight gains. Im always trying to eat healthy butnim confuses now how much Protein i should consume. Like shoulf a Protein shake be a meal at this point or just extra protein? Also if im working out how much protein should i consume? Any suggestions r greatly appreciated.

Im coming up on 9 months out and ive lost over 100 ibs. Im so happy for myself and proud of myself to stick with it because not only did i get the surgery but i also have stuck to a work out and diet plan to help myself succeed which is something i always had trouble with in the past. Today i ate a lemon danish for the first time since my surgery. Im not going to make it a habit but every once in a while u have to endulge yoursel to stay sane. It was so damn delicious!

I wanted to reach my goal of 180 lbs within at least a year of my operation. In june it will be 6 months and im already down to 191.5. Thank u to my docto andball the support from friends and family and everyone on this board. I cant weight to hit my first goal weight

I dont ever regret my sleeve. Im so happy with the fact that i have gotten it done and the change it haa brought to my life. The only time i regret it is at those big family events when there is a ton of delicious food or when my wife makes one of her 'special" meals. I always want to eat more! But i cant cause im sleeved. At least now i get lots of left overs and can enjoy that great meal a few more days.

Ok i have just been worried that i pushed it. I know my dr told me to eat till im full so that i can get as much nutrition from my food as possible and inwas afraid maybe i was just advancing too fast. I know people can stretch their sleeves and wind up needing revisions and i dont want that to happen i just wanna make sure im doing it right. Thanks everyone.

In 2 weeks i will be 5 months out i have lost a total of 85 pounds my goal is to lose 15 more so i could be down by 100. I have a concern though that i have already begun stretching my pouch. Normally when i eat dinner i eat until i feel full and i play around with my phone while im eating so that i dont eat too fast. When i do get full i get a case if the hiccups. Well lately i feel as though im not getting full as fast and have been able to eat more and im not getting hiccups like i was. I fear that im stretching my pouch already too far and thats the last thing i want. I cant really give an idea on exactly how much i eat becauae i dont measure it i just eat and listen to my body telling me when i have had enough. Im also eating my dinners the same way i usually do. Protein first then beans or veggies and maybe a small amount of carbs rice or pasta very little bit. As far as eating throughout the day goes should i be eating every meal until im full or portion it? Normal i when i do my breakfast and lunch i eat and dont get too ful depending on what i eat (eggs usually till im full if i have yogurt i just eat the container and leave it at that). Does anyone think i have stretched it too far or am i overthinking it? There are some days where i feel like i can eat so much more than i should be able to.

Went with small wawa meatballs side in a cup ( 2 meatballs) and 1stick of string cheese

I appreciate all of the help but im looking for something to eat. I normally pack a meal for lunch but on this occasion i didnt have time so this is the first time ive been at work and not been prepared. I also dont have the opportunity or time to check out each place to see what i can have. If anyone knows anhthing specific that i can eat let me know please. And thank u all. I too have lived off of crap food overnights. We have a few pizza places that stay open late also chinese food popcorn chips huge wawa sandwiches or i packed a lunch which was always loaded with food and because i would eat from boredom i would get even more food later in the night. I cant wait to be dont with this overnight stuff

Im having a dilemma im 4.5 months out and i was out of work because of injury. I returned last week and i work overnight if i dont pack food my options are 7-11 wawa and dunking donuts. What is the best thing to eat from either of these places?

I cheated on my diet for the first time today for the superbowl. Had some cheetos crackers woth cheese spread some pita and hummus and a cookie. It felt good to break out of the norn for 20 minutes. Back to the same old same old tomorrow.

For my first few weeks during purree and liquid phases i did alot of protein powder. I got the lemon tea flavor nectar which i mixed with 8 oz of water and each shake is 25 grams. So with 2 i got 50 grams plus 16 oz of water. Also i used unflavored in a blender with fat free yogurt or sugar free chocolate pudding ice and pb2 powder. I could make a shake that was at least 35-40 grams that way. Ill have to try this app see how that works. Thanks.

Is it bad to get in more protein than u are supposed to? My nut says its ok sometimes but now that im eating solids its hard to judge and im pretty sure i go over everyday

I gave up soda a few years ago i wanted to be healthier BUT i did do alot of iced tea i kinda miss that. I do have nectat lemon tea protein powder which isnt too bad for protein its just not what im used to.

What kinda of stuff can l of you sleevers drink? Ive been doing water with mio and crystalight but like everything else that gets old quick.
