You look wonderful! Congratulations!

You need to tighten the straps on your sandals because they are too loose.

Baked salmon with a light coating of olive oil and sprinkle of basil. This was very easy for my stomach to digest. I have also had success with grilled asparagus. Tuna mixed with cottage cheese. Baked potato is easy to digest.

Should say mint gum!

I too have nausea and have found chewing mint sugar helps settle my stomach. Hope that helps.

Sugar free life savers, mint gum( helps me with nausea after surgery, sugar free pudding and jello, sugar free popsicles.

Hi Nate, big decision. I just got sleeved June 24 th. It is definitely going to work if you follow the guidelines. It is a slow but sure way to take off weight. I lost 14 pounds before surgery and 17 pds in the past 5 weeks. I had 9 days where I didn't lose anything, but a stall is pretty normal. It will definitely train you to view food as fuel. You have to make careful food choices so you don't damage your sleeve for about 6-8 weeks. I started walking in my 3 week post op. I am up to 2 miles a day now. You are a man and young, you will lose faster than me! But everything I read on this site says exercise is the key to health weight loss. You will have your struggles like everyone but will achieve your goal in the end. Good luck to you.

Wow, seriously impressive! Good job

My understanding is you will lose the fastest in the 1st 6 months but will lose 50-60% of total weight, by a year 65-75% and the the rest in the next year. There are a lot of variables that affect everybody's journey. But if you stay on course you will get to your goal. Even with the sleeve the last weight is the hardest. But their are hundred's of sucess stories to read of those who did it! Good journey!

At 3 weeks out I had really blinding pain in my large incision area. Surgeon said this is normal and to take pain killers until it desists. You have to keep ahead of the pain to control it! I too have only lost 3 pds in last 2 weeks. Frustrating but not uncommon. Hang in there.,

You will find many different views and voices to touch base with on this site. I am only 3 weeks of surgery and check in to BP everyday for ideas of confirmation of what is happening to me. Good Luck it is an awesome and intense journey.

I was sleeved on June 24 th and have also been struggling with food choices. Nothing sounds good. Half the things I 'm support to eat making my stomach hurt! The shakes are sooooo sweet. Even cutting the flavor with powdered peanut butter or yogurt isn't enough. Yuck. Also frustrated!

Thank you for this post. A reality check of the future.

I just took 2 Advil pm. I haven't been sleeping well and didn't want to take a pain killer just to sleep? How big a mistake is this! Feel so stupid.

I I am also 6 days out and craving food. I have been following the guidelines getting in protein drinks and other clear liquids. But i find I want something of substance.i feel like I am fighting this urge all day. Pretty frustrated.
