well Im down to 220lbs now I have 55 lbs to lose Im a 40 waist I want to be a 32 waist hopefully in another month Ill fit into 36 waist jeans. very excited.

how many people experience hunger now after surgery and what do you do about it. I suspect if I keep weighing my food and not go over 5 ounces per meal maybe I can keep from getting hungry. I mean the hunger sensations were terrible before surgery. Especially at night I ate most of my food at night so I was a night eater. I'm hoping that doesn't happen again with portion control.

I weigh my food to 5 ounces per meal. Im curious as to what are other people portion sizes.

Well I started going to the gym and I mean within 24 hours I seen a big decrease in blood sugar levels normally I am around 95 now Im in the 70's. basically I do at least thirty minutes aerobic including swimming. Im just starting out with the gym I hope to eventually go 5 days a week. mainly bicycle machine for 20 minutes then the elliptical machine for only 3 minutes my legs still need a lot of work. Then 4 laps in the pool which is roughly 15 minutes. I am in no rush with exercising because this is part of my lifetime lifestyle change. Basically Ill have some carbs and Protein before I workout then a Protein shake with some carbs for recovery. then almost 1 1/2 hours later I eat protein and veggies. I am still getting this routine down. Are there others just starting out at the gym with any good feedback is very appreciated. Thanks.

hi everyone Im curious as to how many people are currently using the nutribullet blender to supplement the sleeve diet. Im looking for some creative ideas as to what foods people are using in their blenders. Definitely I would like feedback on this. Thanks.

I think you'll be fine just do the best you can and after you get your sleeve walk walk and walk get the blood flowing and that gets oxygen to your muscles and stomach so it can heal faster. and walking helps with breathing and not getting blood clots.

Hi can I get some feedback from the diabetics that had the sleeve procedure done and are experiencing fluctuations in blood sugar readings. I checked today and it was 121 usually its around 90 a sudden spike. It could be that I am to soon out from surgery. Had my sleeve Nov 11 2013. some readings were around 70 and 80 which i think is ideal. So please let me know if what im experiencing is normal for now. thanks.

you have to have a minimum of calories per day otherwise your body slows the metabolism down to cope with hardly eating. by eating below the minimum you actually inadvertently slow your weight loss progress. and yes drink lots of Water.

Hi everbody I just want to say simply Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year. Thank you everybody so far for all your feedback on my posts it has been very beneficial for me to say the least. Be safe for the holidays. Take care.

I can now have cold Cereal mainly Kashi go lean 13 grams of Protein 10 grams of Fiber and special k 10 grams of protein. only 1/3 of a cup of cereal. I now take the Vitamin b 12 shot from my doctor and I take sublingual b12 and b complex Vitamins as a supplement.

Hi all, Just got back from the nutritionist and the surgeon and I am now stage 3 diet which means I can now eat solid foods and chew them very well too. This is a big relief for me cause now I can go out to eat with others and eat child portions of healthy food now. I can only have up to 4 ounces of food of course 3 ounces Protein and 1 ounce veggies low starch of course. I am so happy. And also I can exercise now at the gym. What a relief.

I was wondering how many people are using the nutribullet blender to help with their baritatric diet? If so let me know basically what you are blending because there are certain food restrictions like no nuts or membranes of fruit. So I was wondering if I can use the blender to liquify the skins and the membranes of fruit and basically drink my nutrition this way also.

Hi all I wonder if my food stamps will pay for Protein powder being that the label says nutritional information not supplemental info. Im gonna check with Target. If anybody knows anything about this can I please get some feedback. Thanks.

Hi Im trying to get feedback and suggestions on the 12 step group Over-eaters Anonymous. I'm thinking about attending OA for long term therapeutic help with food management. Thanks.

just curious will I be able to eat more than 4 ounces per meal. being that I eat 3 ounces of meat which is roughly 21 grams of Protein than I have 1 ounce of low carb veggies. So how am i supposed to get above 63 grams of protein unless I eat more eventually. currently I am getting my additional protein through my Protein drinks. I am supposed to eliminate 1 scoop every 2 weeks now. so in roughly 2 months I will not be using Protein shakes anymore. So my question is does anybody eat more than 4 ounces per meal per their nutritionist? If so can you please let me know what your basic meals are. thank you.

Oh today I went to the doctor and he wrote a script for whey protein and the insurance company said they need a prior authorization from the doctor so I can get the protein from the pharmacy. has anybody done this before. by the way i have fidelis medicaid. oh also got my vitamin b12 shot today.

Now that I increased my food amount to 4 ounces up from 2 ounces per the nutritionist. So I guess my weight loss will be slower now. I have to exercise more now.

Okay looks like I will be attending OA. I am also implementing an exercise program with a gym in January. I already exercise by walking but Im going to step up my program. Someone told me that overeating can be a mental disease like any other substances being abused. So I think mentally its a great help to attend OA.

Hi all I have 78 pounds to lose till I hit my ideal weight. whew.

I hope you do well

well just got back from shopping at Target and yes the food stamps pays for protein powder

how long do you have to wait after you eat to take prilosec? I know you have to wait an hour before you eat after taking it but what about at night after having dinner how long do you have to wait?

Im happy to report that there is no more discharge on the gauze so the wound is healing making its own protective seam. Thank God. One more day on antibiotics. Also I was prescribed Iron and Vitamin D for deficiencies. The Vitamin D gives dry mouth and urinating at night as a side effect which i hate and I am more thirsty. I only got 1 more week on those Vitamins then I continue to take my liquid vitamins.

Okay back from the surgeons office he looked at the infection and was wearing gloves and was squeezing it to try to see if there was more puss he made it bleed which indicated no more puss in the infection. So he looked at the lab results taken by another doctor and I have your garden variety infection so he said the antibiotics that were prescribed by the ER were correct. To continue taking them for 7 days every 12 hours and not to use the bacitration anymore but to continue covering it with gauze so as to let it breathe.

Oh forgot to mention that my blood sugars are completely normal and I dont have high blood pressure anymore. So I dont take diabetic meds anymore either.
