Hello all. I was sleeved on 12/30/2014. I too am falling back into old habits. I restarted my food journal. I find that I am eating around 2k a day. Still working on getting the protein up though. Does 2k calories seem normal to any of you? I travel quite a bit for work and I have been unable to make my support group meetings. If anyone has suggestions please let me know. Thanks you!

Thank you all for your advice. By short order I mean , 10 minutes. As for my exercise, I need to get better. The same goes the same for the food log. I am going to start tracking again to see what I am doing.

I am 12 months post op and have not lost anything for two months. I do drink lots of water. I can drink 24 ounces at a time with no problem. Is this an issue? Am I stretching my sleeve out? Thanks.

Hello everyone. I am seven months post op sleeve. Everything has been going great, I am down 80+ pounds and overall feeling great. Of course I've had my share of stalls and passed through them. My current issue is I cannot seem to shake this feeling of being dumb. I find myself unable to remember things at work that I should know. I e mailed my NUT asking if there may be something missing in my diet. However, with the holiday weekend I won't hear back until next week. I feel like I am going crazy. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks.

Mike4132, yes I did! Thank you. Two weeks later I dropped 5 lbs. I still have a ways to go. Getting enough protein is still an issue for me though

Ok. I was sleeved on 12/30/2014. I was down 46 pounds from me pre op weight, however this week I gained 2 pounds. Is this normal for a stall? It is so disappointing. Thanks.

The first catheter I was out for, however, because I could not go cathed me again. I was wide awake and scared. Yes it was uncomfortable at first, and hurt a bit, but overall not that bad. It will be over before you know it.

I am seven weeks out of surgery. I find that I can tolerate most foods, however, I am at a loss for snacks. Aside from protein bars does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

What are some protein bars you would recommend? I still am looking.

I felt terrible for the first 18 hours after surgery. Now at one month out I feel amazing! Good luck on your journey!

I am a month out of surgery and I had the same issue. I never really felt full, but I stopped when I ate the right portion. I did get sick once, however, I think it was because I ate too fast. I also found that as long as I get my protein in I don't feel hungry. Maybe I am being overly cautious. I just don't like feeling sick. Good luck! I am ready to begin introducing some real food, just in the right portions.

Way to go! You look great. Before you know it another 100 lbs will be gone.

I am almost two weeks out of surgery and feeling great. In a few weeks I have to begin traveling for work. Does anyone have suggestions on how to eat healthy on the road. I drive And fly equally. Therefore, when I drive I can brings own snacks etc. not sure what to do about flying though. Thanks.

@4 the better. It sounds like you are doing great! I weigh myself everyday, but that's just me. I am finding I am driving myself a little nuts doing it though. I will stretch it out some. As for discomfort, the first 18 hours after surgery we bad for me. Then it was like a switch flipped and I started feeling great. Make sure you are getting enough protien. I was not, And I was hungry all the time. Once I upped my protien intake I felt better. Good luck on your journey!
