I started 3 days after I was sleeved and I've been everyday since.

The last couple night I have been getting food dreams as well. It seems to be the same food item, crinkle cut fires. Which is odd since I rarely ever ate them.

Have you tried any other brands? I like and have been living off of Premier Protein shakes (already mixed). The chocolate is my favorite followed by vanilla. I buy them from costco.

I am 2 weeks +1 day post. The first day I couldn't (or wasn't allowed ) to drink anything. Day 2 I feel like i barely got any Water in me. Day 3 and so on got easier. It will happen. Hang in there.

Sorry for the gripe, but that is what this part of the forum is designated for. Tomorrow 3/25 will mark my 4th week on liquid only. Two of these weeks were pre-op and the last two post-op. I am happy with the success I have had thus far. That being said the liquid only part is just getting old. I don't have my 1st follow up appointment until next Thursday 4/2. Even then my plan says 4 weeks liquid post-op. Which for me means I have 2 more weeks of this till the next phase. I think i need a ticker just to count down till April 8th when this 4 week period will be over I know everyone who went through WLS has had this struggle at some point. I just wanted to vent for a second.

I take Iron, but not everyday. I was told Benefider was OK, but not fiber like Metamucil or anything else heavy in psyllium husk Thanks for being concerned though

My day usually goes as follows: Morning Trader Joe's - High Potency Chewable Multiple Vitamin & Mineral Formula, 1 tablet Premier Protein - chocolate shake Rx to prevent Gall Stones Kirkland Signature - sugar-free Caramel Flavored Calcium Chews 500mg + D + K lunch Premier Protein - Chocolate Shake or Vanilla Kirkland Signature Quick Dissolve B-12 5000 mcg Mid Afternoon Kirkland Signature - Sugar-free Caramel Flavored calcium chews 500mg + D + K, dinner One of the following Premier Protein - Chocolate Shake or Vanilla Ujury Chicken Soup Rx to prevent Gall Stones I will also drink Water all though the day. I have a 32oz Nalgene where I will add 4 tsp of Benefiber.

Milk of Magnesia worked for me. That and a wooden stick to bite down on. ouch... lol

I lost 19 lbs pre-op (360lb at surgery) and as of this morning I am 344. There is part of me that wants more. However I am only 9 days post op. I have to remind myself I didn't get this way over night so i can't expect it to come off that way. It's hard to not be a slave to the scale. I like NSV more. My clothes are fitting better and I have have been losing inches on my measurements. Stay positive and keep up the work.

I took a half dose (15ml vs 30ml) of Milk of Magnesia. Dr. said it was OK. I took it right before bed. It seemed to help.

I hear the underwear from there is quite comfy. So I've heard, but at $22+ a pair I'll stick to the 4 pack of Kirkland boxer briefs from costco. Those are comfy as well.

I was on the 11th as well. Hope you are doing well

I've been a long time shopper at DXL. I've always liked their polos, button down short sleeve shirts, cargo shorts and graphic tees. It's good quality stuff but it definitely comes at a cost. Now that I've been sleeved I look forward to never having to limit myself or shop in that store again. On a different note. My favorite jeans come from Duluth Trading Co.

I've ran into a similar error and this is what worked for me. Remove ALL the tickers from your signature Update the text of your signature Add the tickers back in.

This is something I kind of worry about too. Hell in reality I have had these moobs for almost 30 years of my life. The best I can hope for is just making them smaller.

Jill I am on my last day of the pre-op diet. I have been averaging between 640 to 800 cals on any given day. I am down a little over 20lbs. MyFirnessPal flips out on me with what my intake is 1200, BUT that is for a normal 2lbs a week type plan.

How'd you feel?

Mine is on the 11th as well

My Pre-Op appointment is today. Surgery is next week. Shit's getting REAL lol

Great work. I am getting ready to be sleeved in less than 2 weeks. I'm on a similar path and reality is starting to set in. Starting at 379 and hope to be at the 215/220 range as well.

In the short term Sitting in a booth Not being fearful to fly on a plane. Not having to buy my clothes from specialty stores that charge a fortune. Long term Getting stamina back to run. I'd like to do a 5K or Mud Run someday. Like to also get back into CrossFit. Something I did a while ago and enjoyed. Hopefully I wont sweat at the drop of a hat.

As someone about to get sleeved reading posts like these is helping me get mentally prepped for the days/weeks/months to come. Thanks for sharing.
