Shrimp are my lifesaver. They are high in protein. I only can eat 2 oz at time.

I will pray for you. Take one day at a time. I know you are in a lot of pain. I broke my wrist before and I had to have a plate and 4 screws place. Just take 1 day at a time.God bless????????????

I just try to focus on this protein first, veg, then carb. I make sure that what I eating does not have more than 12g of carbs per serving.

Thanks to you both. It is nice to here that other people are experiencing what I feel.

My surgeon told me that I will be cold all time because of how much and how quickly I have lost fat. He said that is common. I am cold all the time.

I am 4 months out and a total lost of 88 lbs. I still need to loose 25lbs more to reach my goal. I am feeling nervous. I do not want to get comfortable. I feel like being comfortable was the reason why before my gastric sleeve I would lose then gain weight. I feel so terrified that if I do not stick to the plan I will become that 268 lb girl again. Do anybody else feel that way.

I am 4 months out now post gastric sleeve. I love hearing about success. This surgery has changed my life for the better. I am only 30 pounds from goal. My heaviest weight before surgery was 268. I am now 184 since last weighin this past Sunday.

Congratulations!!! I cannot wait

SW 228 CW 208 Thanksgiving goal 199.

I truly understand. Are you getting in your protein and water. That is very important. Are you exercising? Also my surgeon and nutritionist told me that people who do not have a lot to lose will lose slower than people who are more heavy. Also call your nutritionist and talk to him/her.

I am in. Love this HW 228 CW 214. My goal for thanks giving would be 199. But I am a slow loser I will be ok with 200. We can do it!!!!!

I understand you exactly. I was sleeved on 9/11. I am tired. But I force myself to workout. Yesterday I was so tired I did not make it to the gym. So after my nap I pull ed out my Zumba DVD and dance for an hour with the kids. Then I felt better.

You look awesome.

I just experience that today. I had ate 2 tablespoons of lobster bisque. I started to get abdominal cramps and had to run to the toilet. No lobster bisque for me anymore.????????????

Thank you

The camera that they inserted nick my mesenteric artery. I was bleeding a lot. The vascular surgeon came in an assisted in fixing it. I am fine. But I was very weak for a week post-op.

Today is my anniversary and my husband took me to our favorite restaurant. The waitress was looking at me crazy. I ate 1/2 crab cake and 3 spoons of soup. I was so full. I was sitting talking to my husband and just thinking last year at this time I would be able to eat 2 crab cakes ands whole bowl of lobster soup for a starter and then eat lobster dinner. Thank God I am on the other side.

I started puréed foods on Wednesday. I am only getting in 1 and 1/2 ounces at a time. The hardest thing to get down was the tuna fish. I really paying attention to when I am full. I so afraid to through up.

My surgeon stated I can go back to the gym. It is so weird to me to be tired after walking on the treadmill for 45 mins. Before surgery I was up to an hour of treadmill and 30 minutes of circuit training and 30 minutes on the elliptical 5 days a week. I trying to tell myself I will get back there.

I use Caltrate for my calicium supplement.

My nut and surgeon will only allow me to take chewable vitamins and chewable calcium citrate.

My surgeon is very up on preventing malabsorption so him and my nutritionist makes us start our vitamins and Prilosec. For the past two days, I just been focusing on sipping throughout the day. I can only maybe get in 2 oz. at a time. Then I wait a couple of minutes and drink some more. In my 64 oz that includes my protein shakes.

That is great. I was the same way. When I came home I could only drink about 4 oz of the premier shake and it took me a half of day.

@nothinks. I drink two premier shakes a day. I started at 6:30 am. Sipping on liquids. To get in the 64 oz. I am just focusing on protein and fluids. I do get my vitamins because they are chewable.

Awesome
