5/13/14 down 42 lbs. People are starting to notice the weight lose now. I was hoping I would have lost more by now. I want to be down 50 lbs by the 3rd month. I know everyone loses differently. I can't say I do everything perfect. But I try to stay away from carbs and sugar as much as possible. I still drink my Protein shakes and I log in to myfitnesspal to track what I eat. I've gone from a 20 size pants to a 16. My legs, face and neck are showing the weight lose the fastest. Just wish my tummy would trim down faster. I get so bored eating the same thing all the time. I don't have many problems with food. I can't eat bread that's the only thing that bothers my belly. I exercise with workout videos 3 times a week. Good luck everyone. Slowly but surely we will be at our goal!

I try and try to eat all day to get my protein intake. I can never reeach 80 grams of protein. I drink a lot of water but don't reach 64 oz a day. I eat very very small portions. I can't take the multi vitamin it makes me vomit or just nauseated. I feel good just feel like I'm failing on the protein and don't know how to fix it.

I was sleeved May 13th. 7 weeks out down 35lbs. I stalled for a week also but losing pretty fast within the past week.

<br><br> Hey butterfly! Is it ok if I friend you? You're the first May 12th sleever I see besides me so far! You're lucky you have no drain, I think it's made this recovery a bit harder for sure. And the gas? I still have it, mostly because I can't go walking around with this drain, it's too painful! How are you getting your liquids in? Any tips? I just feel so full all the time! I was sleeved may 13th. No drain. Minimal incision pain. But having a hard time swallowing still. I don't get but maybe 30 grams of Protein in daily, if that. It's tough when it takes all day to drink a 10oz Protein shake.

Still having difficulty swallowing anything. Even the tiniest sip feels like I'm swallowing a horse pill. 9 days post op... When will this stop??!!!

You will go through pain for 2 days. Then what feels like hunger for a few days. I'm 8 days post op and finally feel somewhat better.

I feel the same way!!! Only good thing is I'm not throwing up. Just feel like I have something blocking what's going down!! I tried Gas X and that didn't help a lick. I just want to eat and feel ok

Sorry to hear about your issues. I got sleeved on May 9th but am not allowed any pills yet. My doctor prescribed a Prevacid capsule that I break and eat medicine out of. That has helped me. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow! Hope all is well. I open my Nexium capsule also but it hasn't helped. If this pain in the middle of my chest would go away I think id feel 100 times better

I Was feeling okay since surgery. But day 5 I started feeling horrible. Not only was I starving. My acid reflux is terrible. Day 6 I started my nexium as per docs orders. I'm having such a hard time with liquids. I feel like I have a huge pill stuck in my throat and the middle of my chest. When I breath heavy my stomach has a slight pain like its full. It's the strangest thing!! I go to my post op appointment tomorrow. Anyone else had similar issues?

Tomorrow makes a week post op for me. I'm still hungry. I wish I could start puréed food. That's the hardest part for me so far and I'm barely getting protein in. Idk what to do. I see my dr on Wednesday so I assume he will help me

Okay so I know I'm not suppose to weight myself daily buttttt I just can't help it. Since surgery on Tuesday 4 days post op. I'm down 12.4 lbs ????????

Today is such a better day. I'm not sure as to why... But hey!! I guess as days pass things will get easier.

I stepped on the scale today when I got home and I'm already down 8 lbs since Tuesday. Previously I took nexium but he didn't tell me to take any meds and I have to start my vitamins next week. The reflux is horrible. I feel like I need something thicker like a protein shake. I don't know if that's safe being I'm only 2 days out.... At this point in regretting doing the surgery my tummy is burning so bad. I know it will get better, but the process is killing me. Best part is I wasn't even a big food eater prior to the surgery. Everyone says head hunger but this is my stomach burning and growling....

I took tums but they aren't helping
