Some powders are not tasty! So being the frugal guy I am, I add a half packet of choc ff/sf pudding mix to my 8oz unsweetened milk and the Protein and whips up DELISH! Just wanted to share as I know how expensive powder can be! I see a lot of people giving it away! Just trying to help!

Thanks! I too have lifted for years but didn't know if very lite would be fine! Sounds good! I go to Dr today, so I will ask them!

4 weeks out post sleeve and wondered what your dr will let you do as far as exercise? I can only walk or elliptical but I'm ready for weight lifting! Thanks

Hey guys, thanks for all the advice! I just left surgeon and had stitches put in! According to the PA this is very normal as I have been exercising a little too aggressively, so I will tone it down! thanks again everyone, I appreciate it I'm doing very well!

@@sandisleeve my faith tells me that I have been blessed and Yahweh has had me covered this whole time. But I just wonder if something went wrong at the surgery day or what? I know I had the surgery as my palette has changed and I am NOT hungry ever. But it just seems that I am the odd one out not having experienced any of these issues. Thanks! Im new to this forum so I am lost.

My surgery weight was 285, and I'm 274 today (I was sleeved May 15). I haven't been able to walk a whole lot (pretty intense pain. I seriously overdid things my second day home and I've been struggling to get steps in since then...but I watch my Fitbit and just try to get more steps than the previous day, which is working).
I've been on Proteins since Day 5, and it takes me forever to get one of the shakes down, but I came close to my Protein goals yesterday, and I'm hoping to hit it today. I have very little interest in food, which is good, and very little interest in the Protein drinks (other than knowing that I'll likely heal faster if my body has something other than Water or juice to work with). I did discover that I appear to be lactose intolerant post-surgery (I've swung back and forth on my lactose tolerancy...I was intolerant during each of my pregnancies, but post-partum, I was fine, so I don't know if it's temporary or permanent. I hope temporary. I would miss cheese)
No new clothes yet. I have a couple of boxes of smaller clothes to go through before I think about buying new (but I'm saving up rewards points at Old Navy for a little spree, probably at the end of summer. I don't know if I'll need more clothes before then due to the sheer mass of smaller things I have tucked away)

I am a 5/14ther and I am down 12 pounds. Funny as a woman i started at the same weight but I am 262 today. I feel awesome. My incisions are still sore and my belly is still swollen some but I am walking 40 min a day. Having a hard time with Protein. I am tired of the sweet taste. I am really excited about the weeks to come.

I got sleeved May 14th. 2 weeks pre-op I was 274lb, as of today May 21st I am 249lb total 25lb weight loss.

I'm a guy and it seems like I'm only one of a few on this forum so I'm curious to see how my progress compares to the women.

I was put onto full liquids 2 days ago, but I'm having a very hard time sticking to the requirements. I have almost no appetite all the time. Basically in the past week I've had Water, iced tea, chicken broth, and very little muscle milk. However, I feel better than fine! I have so much energy and I've been burning calories like crazy. I did 4miles at the gym yesterday and 1 mile today.

I did cheat a little but I immediately regretted it. Before surgery if I are too much too fast I'd feel bloated and have to lie down, now if I do that I just have an incredible pain in my chest, and lying down isn't gonna help.

Has anyone started getting new clothes yet?

Size? I didn't know there were sizes. Maybe that is why I am not having issues? I have lost 21 lbs in two weeks with one of those of weeks being preop liquid. I used Dr. Kim who did Nate Newtons surgery from the dallas cowboys. I pray the blood of Jesus of your surgeons hands and over you for a speedy recovery.

Hi everyone! I had my surgery yesterday, 5/5. I just got home from the hospital. I have 6 incisions and two of them hurt pretty bad. Getting in or out of bed is the worst. I also have a lot of shoulder pain from the excess gas. I was out of it most of yesterday so did not start feeling the pain until last night. I am so relieved it is over - I was super nervous. Also glad to report that I am not hungry - a welcome change from the pre-op liquid diet.
