I was weighed after my surgery before I went home due to the fact the surgeon told me I would weigh out heavier from the fluids in the IV.. left weighing 306lb..

I am 9months post op and 18 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy my doctor didn't want me losing any more weight and in 18weeks still weighing in under where she wants me but baby is right on target... its been a rough start for me... nausea, sleepless nights, constantly feeling tired and constantly nibbling on food, swelling and my leg pain is back so im making it threw day by day ... hoping side effects ease up on me I just feel like a wreck so I can enjoy this time its my first baby was told for years id never be a mom so I am excited to meet my little prince

congrats to all u other mama's

avoid bread I thought 1 month post op I could eat any of the stuff u had listed u can learn the hard way way to soon for stuff that expands in your stomach u will regret it... had bread get stuck was not a pleasant experience and I was advised if it doesn't stay down the next 3 days I had to be on a liquid diet due to inflamed tummy ... stomach takes along time to heal u didn't do all this work for nothing that piece of bread can wait!!! I did however eat a few potato chips just cus I needed to have the crunch feeling while eating.. if u do that try the simply baked lays there amazing!! just don't eat too many!..

its the milk try almond milk and the tomatoe juice is also probably not the best option either look at the sugar content of it right after surgery my stomach couldn't handle anything with more then 6g ....

tall iced chia latte or can have it hot its amazing i get extra pump of chia!!

oh im sorry for the crappy luck hope it gets better

so im just trying to get some insight my relationship is struggling pretty bad i am 4 months post op im down alot of weight and so much with myself has changed and continues to change and now we are fighting alot more over nothing and it just gets worse and worse. I dont need his help as much as before and i know that bothers him but how has others relationship changed since this surgery? good or bad just need some insight please...

activia lite

im 4 months and some change out myself and i am eating about 4oz a meal right now and i do have a snack between the Breakfast lunch and dinner i may not eat a whole lot but my stomach will growl when it wants something lol.... how much are you eating? and what are you eating?... for me yogurt fills me up for about 30 mins vs a few raw carrots that would satisfy me for 1-2 hrs so look for food that takes a while for you to chew and that helped me out i was eating more then i was supposed to be. this method has helped me out alot more raw veggies and fruit less of the other stuff... also i try to add 1/2 a piece of toast to at least 1 meal a day it keeps me full longer able to go longer with out a bite of something...

so glad i searched for this on here since surgery 4/2/14 i have had the worst experience with periods before surgery they were so abnormal id get them for 5months straight go 2 years without 1 and now there regulated (somewhat) but ive never in my life experienced these types of cramps they are so painful!!!!.... needless to say the spawn of saitian greeted me this morning and i have set up an OB appointment just to make sure its nothing more serious thnak you ladies for the responses helped me a ton

everybodys body is diffrent some struggle more then others im almost 4 months out and i am down 64lb

im against the drinks i cant keep them down if i tried... thankful for the high Protein foods i can tollerate chicken, beef, turkey and tuna

pure Protein 2g sugar 20g of protein there not too bad

same problem i had was finding Protein to be honest i failed at Protein i was sleeved in april 2nd and have yet to finish a Protein Drink since before my surgery i know what i can and cannot tollerate i throw in an extra snack after you get to eat chicken and such i recomend weight watchers brand its got 32 grams per chicken brest there 5oz i can eat 3 1/2 and the rest is my snack so if protein is a problem i planned around the drinks and shakes i just cannot force myself to drink something that gives me a headache or makes me feel sick

ur body is going threw a major change allow it time to adjust and go back to normal.... i went threw a stall from week 3- week 6 it was horrible and i struggled the first week to try to accept that i wasnt doing anything wrong and it was hard to look past the scale not moving 15lbs is the average weight loss per month from what my surgeon told me so for you to loose 26lb in 2 weeks thats amazing!!!.... dont stress and put the scale up for a few more weeks

i love the k cups chia latte is my favorite sometimes i need a sip of some energy cant stand the taste of coffee anymore makes me sad since i use to be a big cofffee drinker b4 surgery

i was sleeved 2 months ago today and about a week to 1 month out i was depressed it was due to the fact i missed food and being on liquids took that away after my diet progressed and was able to eat soft food it did in fact go away and now im happy as ever it is just a phase so be strong gum helped me alot since it was something to chew

first thing once out of surgery they made me walk to my bed threw up everywhere i couldnt move in the bed without the nausea feeling and throwing up that lasted for 3 weekkkkks i was so misserable i hope it doesnt last that long for you but the blood u should ask your dr about or nurse if your still in the hospital they kept me an extra day cus of my nausea

u do what is best for you and your health!! i had one of my doctors who was aganst it too... well i had surgery in april and i still see that doctor so they wont let you go if you choose a choice for yourself

i was sleeved april 2nd but started this whole process july of 2013 i had 6month NUT diet X_X it was all worth it and i got 1 cheat day a week before surgery so it helped.... dont make a meal like its ur last. one day you will get to eat it again...!! it will only hurt u to do that and add on more pounds!! i gained 5lb the day i had my cheat diet and was sick cus i went overboard!

my smaller goal is every 25-35lb and i spend a 1.00 per pound on myself so new outfit, purse, running shoes...

i had surgery april 2nd and feel the same some times i do snack but my cal intake is 600-800 a day... your doing a great job thats alot of weight gone!!!

for myfitnesspal app go to the left top button and the drop box should say nutrition once u click that it will tell u ur intake and for the day of cal's sugar Protein ext. it helps alot

U look amazing congrats

I was told it was ok to use if all else fails
