Heeeyyyyy!!!
I was sleeves aug 26th. Was 250 now at 230. I walk about a mile a night average. Now it's been a month I can work out more. I was told not to till a month. You can for sure see that I'm shrinking.... I love it! Eating about 50g of Protein a day sometimes more. I can now eat soft foods for a week then regular foods after. I eat about 2-4oz per meal. Depending on what it is I guess. Been surviving off deli sliced turkey....yum. For sure hurts when I eat a little too much. I have to immediately get up and walk around and pray I don't boot. Still learning the new pains and discomforts if that makes any sense. I did regret this surgery the first week. Now I'm so happy I did this. We are all blessed to have done this!

Mine was rump roast lol
It gave me thick skin. My mother was verbally abusive and always called me fat so being called pretty or skinny was way more of a insult to me.
I'm still working on loving myself. I do love myself but my childhood.... Blah lol

It's hard not to chew the first two weeks, I started my purée a day early, I wanted some texture.

Vbm510.... I can totally relate.... Sleeved august 27.....10 days ago... I had applesauce in my yogurt... Can hardly take the shakes anymore! Hang in there ... Almost time for purée ! Alyce

your not the only one
I hate to even tell you all how bad I cheated in the beginning
within the first 10 days I was eating hard boiled eggs and tuna
14 days in I was eating salad and a turkey wrap
I was so worried and still am to some extent
I have never once vomited since the surgery but more than once have overeaten
For me the surgery hasn't removed my appetite
Now I find it's all Portion Control
That and I completely cut sugar out of my diet
No more sugar in my coffee , no more soda , Cookies , ice cream etc
There's still sugar in everything but I'm very conscience of what I'm putting in now
Small meals , really is all I'm able to get down
BUT the good news is the weight has come off , not as fast or as dramatic as I would like
Surgery was June 9th and my weight was 308
3 days shy of 3 months and I'm down to 250
When I say not dramatic I'm a man that looked 9 month pregnant
I had ( and still do ) a HUGE belly
The weight I've lost seems to have mostly come off my rear end
Not really where I needed to lose so much
I have a feeling I'm at that 3 month stall I've read so much about
So don't feel alone or to worried
In my case I was bound to lose weight being the size of meals I can eat and cutting out the sugar

Ohhh I feel your pain. I'm 8 days post op and yea. I have told friends on fb to piss off with their food pictures blocked some because I can't deal with it. Maybe when I'm on purée and I can try other things I'll be good but for now....nope.

I won't be purée meat but I'm looking forward to change of the menu.

Yea after talking with my friends who has this surgery I'm banking by the 2 week mark when I can change up my diet I will be a little happier lol first 2 weeks are the worse plus I did 2 weeks of liquid diet but did cheat..... We will be skinny, healthy and will eat right after it's so worth it. That's what I'm telling myself.

Gas x strips? Or walk outside and let them out quietly and slowly? Lol sorry I would do that.

I'm 3 days post op and I have been feeling the same thinking about a steak real bad. I'm banking it will get better. Once we are on purée it will be better this liquid diet is messing with our brains lol

29 oz total. 16 oz of that was Protein. The rest was Water, little bit of miso Soup and sf Jello.< /p>
I almost got 25g of protein. Not a lot considering I need 60-90g a day but it's my first day and I refuse to kick my own ass.
How did you guys do?

Hey there my fellow soon to be Skinnies,
I got home about an hour ago about 430 I am pretty groggy still. Just took some pain meds and now I'm going to start drinking some more liquid was having a little bit of trouble in the hospital not drinking enough I still haven't been able to pass gas. My goal now is to drink 3 ounces every hour and get up and walk a little bit every time so let's see how it goes congratulations to all of us!!!
Looking forward to seeing us all healthy very soon!

Well the subject says it all everyday I eat a meal because I can't go all day on liquids. I feel like a failure. My dr told me it will be easier after because my stomach will be so small that I won't be as hungry and not to kick myself too much but I can't help me majority of the day I have what I'm suppose to it's just one meal I need to eat. Am I screwed? Writing this I want to cry I have been battling to get this for 4 years and I can't even handle the damn pre op diet.
Thanks for letting me vent.
