What does "dm" mean? So today I want to focus on the Protein. How much do we need seems like I remember it was something like 60? Is that right?? Going to use a food tracker. Is there a fitness pal seems I remember that.

How much Protein is usually required per day.

Want to get back on track and lose the weight. Any help, advice etc is appreciated. I find that I don't even remember how I was eating when I lost weight. I would like to know how others manage their diet.

I have regained most of my weight. I need some guidance and support from others. I was doing so good then I forgot I even had a sleeve. Help me remember what I should be doing to lose the weight. I was working so much but I have stopped that and want to focus on me again.

I have been stuck at 142.6 for almost 2 weeks now. I need to start exercising but with 2 jobs its hard. I have been cheating everynight with a bowl of layes chips. Now i know they dont bother my sleeve so i can eat them and i do. I think exercise is the key for me at thus time. I will let you all know how that goes.

I had my gallbladder out in 2000 and my sleeve in 2015. Absolutely NO PROBLEMS! ! I have been able to tolerate all foods. I do follow the guidelines and never advanced my diet without my doctor's permission. Omeprazole 1 everyday sprinkled on pudding. This is not for reflux my doctor just gives it for the first year to help sleeve.

Had the sam problem for first 4 months post op. Now i have a yogurt or Quest Protein Bar everyday and this keeps me regular. I don't eat fruits and rarely eat vegetables. Mostly i eat chicken.

7 months today and i eat cashews and salted peanuts.

BMI 27 now weight 144lbs still hoping for 135lbs and dreaming of 125lbs.

Now down to medium blouses and 12 petite pants. Its been a journey one I am super happy I took!

Happy to report itching is gone. Dont know what it was. Maybe the new Water softner or maybe time just took care of that!!

I was lucky no saggy skin. I've lost 67 lbs. I am 53 and was overweight for about 6 to 7 years. My highest weight was 211 and I am 5'2".

Jay Robb is the best in my opinion. I hated the idea of shakes yukky was all I could say to them. This shake got me through the hard times.

I am 5'2" & weighed 195 day of surgery August 10, 2015. Today I weigh 144lbs. At first weight came off steady then the holidays came around and it slowed down but usually i lost about 3 lbs per week. I am trying for 135lbs and wishing for 125lbs. I haven't done any exercise. Will try to incorporate that and hope it pushes me to lose more. I will say it was about the first week of February that I really noticed i looked thin. I also went down a size. People are now saying slow down - maybe i need to stop losing weight. Lol imagine someone telling me that I could only dream before but it has become a reality. My diabetes is controlled without medicine since after surgery and my AIC has been normal since my 3 month follow up so that alone was a BIG WIN for me.

It helped me through the first 3 or 4 weeks. Then one day i was driving it bothered me and I took it off. I saw it the other day. I remember when it was my best friend lol. Just be sure you get the right size for your body.

I found that sticking to items that were smooth (no chunks) made me mentally feel safer that I wouldn't cause any problems.

By the way my wedding rings fit again. I wear them everyday now. I wish i had gotten this surgery sooner. I am so happy with the outcomes and my life has changed so much for the better.

Its getting harder now because i know i can eat anything without the fear of not being able to tolerate the food. My hair is still falling out but maybe not as much and i had so much of it that it didn't affect the way it looks - just feels lighter. Having hard time stopping myself to not wear my old 2× 3× clothes. The 1x still feels good but its probably too big. I bought a medium blouse and 12P pant this week and they fit nice. I need to clean out my closet. I am afraid to get rid of it last time i lost weight i gave it all away and then gained it all back. Then today i was thinking i could give it to coworkers and everytime i saw the clothes on them i could remember wow I use to be that size and stay true to my new food choices.

Have been out for awhile. Happy to hear all are doing well. I am 6 months out now and down to 144lbs. Feeling really good. So much energy. Eating most foods but in small amounts and sticking to my new food choices. I do like layes potato chips thats my weakness. Still want to lose 15 more lbs.

I eat prunes 2 per day. Yogurt and Protein Shake seems to help with Constipation. I asked my doctor about prunes and he said yeah. Agree this is a pain and probably the worse problem to date. So really not that bad if i plan my attack well. Lol

Looking great Rdsegobia. That's a pretty blouse. I find myself buying brighter colors now. Love wearing fun clothes. Sometimes it takes me more time than before to pick out what I am going to wear now that there are so many choices. Even wearing jewelry too. I love it!

I make my own parmesan crisps. I use 1 bag of finely grated parmesan cheese with 1 Tbsp of flour and mix in rosemary or other dried herbs. Put them in less than teaspoon size mounts on a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake at 400 degrees for 7 mins. They are good. I am going to try baking them with out flour just to see what happens.

Elastic waistbands are my friend. I love them the transition between sizes is easier with them. Especially the stretchy fabrics.

I am at size 14 skinny jeans too!! We are awesome! The ladies at work are super excited over my weight loss always commenting on how good i look. They dont know about surgery. I still think that yes surgery definitely helped me alot but it has taken effort and dedication to stay on my diet plan. Because I have eaten a few fritos and 1 cherry cupcake pie so I know I can eat those things without getting sick but I can't eat them all the time. Now I notice how so many women are overweight its more common than being thin. Young and old I guess before I never really noticed. I wish I had done this surgery when I was younger but I guess I wasn't ready until now.

I know the feeling Rdsegobia. Large is so much better
