Nov 2nd will be 1 year for me. I've lost 120 lbs and my surgeon's goal for me was only to lose 60 to 70 lbs. I'm now trying to maintain my weight. Love my sleeve.

Hi MoeMee, Welcome to the group. I was sleeve in Nov 2014 and I'm doing well. I'm down 100 lbs...almost to goal. Who is doing your surgery?

Premier Protein now comes in Powder form. SAMS Club has the powder in vanilla and chocolate.

I weigh myself and take measurements once a week. I also keep a food journal. I'm 2.5 months post op.

I ride a stationary bike for 30 mins every day, plus walk over 10,000 steps a day. I use free weight every other day.

Congrats on your weight loss. Have you thought about going to a second hand store to buy a few clothes to have while you are losing. I think I am going to head to Goodwill on Saturday to see what I can find.

I'm 9.5 weeks out and my surgeon told me 800-1000 day. She also said after 800 calories if I'm still hungry drink a Protein shake.

Did your insurance pay for this? Looks good.

I started walking first. when 2 weeks after surgery I started riding my bike for 30 mins everyday and weights on my arms every other day. I still walk everyday too. Hope this helps.

I sleep in a recliner for the first 5 days after I came home from the hospital. Once I started sleeping in the bed again, I sleep on my side with a body pillow.

Phone charger, robe, and something to read or do. Of all the things I took those were the things I used the most. And don't for get to walk and walk as soon as you can.

I had to do 2 weeks prior and 2 weeks after surgery. Then 2 weeks pureed foods.

vanessak8, My surgery went fine. I have my first post-op visit tomorrow in Washington. Congrats on your weight loss.

IronDruggist, If you find this recipe please share.

Okiebon, yes my Sam's carries all three. Our costco only carries Vanilla and Chocolate.

Premier Protein shakes (vanilla, Strawberries and Cream), nectar protein powder (Fuzzy Navel and Cholocate Truffle) and Jay Robb protein powders (Unflavored) I just order the unjury starter kit. Good Luck

I like premier Protein shakes 160 cal. 3g fat ,30 g protein. These are premade shakes. You can purchase them at Sams, Costco's, and WalMart.

I'm live St Charles and had my surgery on Nov 3 at Mercy in Washington. I'm also looking for a local support

What can you take if you get a cold after you have surgery. I had surgery on Monday and now I'm sick with a bad cold. Help!

@Ekide It went fine. How are you doing ? I can't type: @Elode. It went fine. How are you doing?

Shutterbug33, you can do it just think about the end result. I am also having surgery on the 4th. Good luck to us all and God bless.

Will be thinking about you tomorrow. Good luck and God bless.

I couldn't watch the whole thing. so you did better than me

Pre-made shakes...I like premier Protein shakes, I also eat sugar free pudding and Jello and Swanson's broth. I'm having the sleeve done and my Dr. want 2 weeks of a clear liquid diet. So no real food.

Lucky you, I have to do it for 2 weeks. But it will all be worth it in the end. Good luck to you on your new journey.
