Awwww man thanks Kathy!!! This helps so much. And you're right, I need to get a grip. I've fallen into the trap of doing what's convenient. And I'll definitely bug my Dr's office tomorrow. I didn't come this far to go back to where I was pre-op. Thanks again!!! :-)

hey everyone,hope all is well. I'll make it quick. I had my sleeve done this past monday the 4th, and although i know i am required to stick to this post clear liquid diet, it has been quite hard so far. although this was my first full day home,and i shouldnt be too hard on myself, i cant help but think im not intaking enough protein..honestly i'm stuffed!!! ANY IDEAS?

HEY EVERYONE! I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS? I'M GETTING DIFFERENT ANSWERS BUT WOULD LIKE A GENERAL ONE PERTAINING TO WEIGHT LIFTING AND EXERCISE. I AM ALMOST 2 WEEKS POST OP AND MY EXERCISE SENSES ARE TINGLING. I'M SO EXCITED TO START WORKING OUT AND TRAINING. I'VE ONLY WALKED SO FAR, BUT WANT TO KNOW WHEN DID YOU GUYS START LIGHT EXERCISING AND LIGHT WEIGHT LIFTING? ANY ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFUL. THANKS

WOW!!! I GUESS EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. WISH I WAS ON STAGE 3 ALREADY.LOL!!! CONGRATS NEREIDA1975 ON THE WEIGHT LOSS!!!

HMMMM, YOU KNOW, YESTERDAY I FELT SO WEAK AND DRAINED OUT OF NOWHERE IT SEEMED. SOON IT'LL GET BETTER..IT HAS TO..LOL. AND CONGRATS ON THE WEIGHT LOSS SO FAR..I STEPPED ON THE scale THIS MORNING, IT READ 205,,,PRIOR TO THAT I WEIGHED MYSELF A FEW DAYS BEFORE THEN( couldn't help myself lol) MY STARTING WEIGHT WAS 224, SO I'M PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS DESPITE THE ANNOYING Protein shake.

hey kinda late..but my surgery was aug 4th. sooooo excited. I'm already seeing changes. the only thing that is a bit frustrating are these Protein shakes and/or liquid only.. how long has your doctor recommended you be on stage 1 diet?

First time I ate cream of potato soup......yep, I thought I was going to dispense of my very soul in a toilet bowl at a mall. Lord Jesus, it was terrible.

I bought a bunch of sugar-free Torani syrups to flavor my Protein shakes. Though they do have sucralose (Splenda), which I know some people try to avoid.
Here's a link to all their sugar-free flavors (there are TONS of them):

I didn't buy new clothes till almost a year post-op. What can I say? I'm a guy. :-P I'm a mushroom. My "cave" is deep in the heart of my workplace and I'm not required to venture out much. But when I did buy new shirts, I did it with flair!!
Old gray shirts
New FLASHY ELECTRIC BLUE shirts

This time, the second an item of clothing is too big for me I'm donating it to the local hospital charity resale store.
And I mean the very second!
I've been yo-yo dieting all my life and, consequently, have a houseful of lovely clothes in many sizes. Good news is that I've got a gorgeous wardrobe for the first 55 pounds. After that, I'm either going naked or going shopping.
