I'm almost 3 months out. When I just have to have pizza, I eat the toppings only. Didn't try it until 2-1/2 months. Figured it would be fine since I eat melted cheese w/ Tomato sauce and cottage cheese as a snack anyways. It will be an every once in a while thing for me but I'm very pleased that I get full off the toppings of one slice.

So my husband ordered pizza for the family tonight & guess who got cocky enough to take a bite of my husbands slice? Yep, me.
Ps... I'm writing this from the bathroom floor, bc I've been vomiting for 20 minutes.

I make homemade pizza on soft taco shells they are nice an thin come out crisp I can eat a forth of a small shell

We live and we learn!!
Feel better soon!!

I am praying for you. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, in Jesus mighty name❤️❤️

I'm only 3 weeks post op, but I have noticed major differences in my life.
I've already lost 25 lbs.
my knees are not in constant pain any longer
My back isn't in pain anymore
And I no longer sweat like a pig when I'm cleaning my house.
Those few things alone, have made the surgery worth having!

I know exactly how you feel trust me. All the Protein powders made me sick after surgery. I had to literally gag them down. I did find however that I can tolerate Ensure High Protein. There's 210 calories and 25g of protein in a 14 oz bottle so when I was at your stage I still had to split it up. Drink half and then finish it by the end of the day. I still can't drink the full bottle at one sitting but I can do it with in a couple hour period. I substitute it for my Breakfast every morning. You can also try the unflavored powder mixed in with a smoothie, scrambled egg, Soup, etc. Hang in there though it'll get better I promise. I'm 3 1/2 months out and finally enjoying my sleeve

If you can stand Splenda, you should try the Isopure....comes in a lot of different flavors, and sold at GNC (if you have any GNC stores around you). In the meantime, it really does get better...for real!

I'm so sick of these damn Protein shakes! I'm SICK OF THEM.

In my head I've married Guy Fieri 4 times. Diners, drive inns & Dives is my ALL TIME favorite cooking show!!!

So I'm 4 weeks post-op and I'm feeling great. I had a crazy, busy, fun weekend with a big family dinner to Celebrate multiple birthdays and then a wedding. I felt fabulous, I looked fabulous. I had some pain eating a little bit - not chewing enough, trying some new things - but I was able to walk it off and I danced my behind off at the wedding. I received so many compliments on my dress, on how I looked and everyone just said I glowed. It was pretty wonderful.
Here is a little before and after photo. The green dress is from June 2013 at my highest weight of 301. The black dress is from last night, 60 pounds lighter. (30 pre-op, 30 post-op) I love the transformation so far and can't wait to take more pictures - and I never recall saying that before haha
There are more before and after photos on my profile. Feel free to take a peak!!
All the best,
Hana

i dont think you are getting in all your protein. if you are getting in 60 grams of protein, i am guessing you wont be hungry. you should be aiming for 64 ounces of Water too. i would avoid potatoes until you are able to get in all your protein. when you can get in your water and protein, you will feel full.

McButterpants: you literally just made me smile, laugh out loud & shed a tear-ALL at the same time. ❤️❤️❤️
You are sooo awesome!!!

I totally know how you feel. I was sleeved on 4/25/14 and 7 days before my procedure my anxiety started going crazy. I couldn't sleep, I was moody & I began to fear the same surgery that I'd been looking forward to for months. I also had a large hernia that I was scared wld cause a problem. I would stay up all night imagining all the things that could go wrong & try to predict how I would be feeling when I awoke from anesthesia..
Try to pray/meditate. Bc the worrying & anxiousness will only rob you of the true excitement of your new Beginning❤️❤️.

Hi! I felt the same kind of paranoia as you. I was sleeved on 4/25/14 & tried to force my Fluid intake. Don't do it. Be kind to yourself. During my first week, my goal was to drink a 20 ounce bottle of Water everyday & at least half of my Protein shake (8 once bottle) . Now at almost 3 weeks post op, I'm drinking 2 20 ounce bottles a day & a full 8 ounce shake.... Bc that's all I can do.
I also remember feeling like I was going to pop after a bowl of broth... Lol, sounds to me like you are right on track. ❤️❤️

Amazing!!!! You are Glowing!!! God Bless you❤️❤️

I started walking two days post op, albeit short distances. After about 2 weeks, I was walking and biking for 30-40 minutes a day. Added swimming as soon as the wounds healed (think it was at 8 weeks or so, can't remember).

Wasn't cleared for weights until about 16 weeks and then it was moderate, nothing too strenuous. At 20 weeks, I started hitting the weights aggressively and haven't looked back!

You look beautiful. You should be so proud of yourself!!
