Yes. I had 5 iron infusions. I did not start feeling better for several weeks. I was also taking 3 iron pills a day. Just be patient. It will get better

I am about 9 months out too. You have to look at old pictures. Remind yourself how bad you felt before. It's easy to get back into old habits. Go back on shakes for a week. Give yourself a reset. I went and tried on clothes I still want to wear but can't quit fit into yet. It does help. I also think about all the crap I had to do to have this surgery in the first place. I am determined to not gain back that weight

I had 5 weekly infusions before surgery and still take iron daily. It took almost a month before I started feeling better

My favorite is vanilla latte.

I had a hysterectomy before sleeve. About 8 weeks before. It was tough. Good luck to you

Same thing happened to me. Lost the bottom half first this time. Weird

Everyone is different but I increased calories too and carbs a little and I am losing steadily now. Haven't had a stall since week 7

2 weeks. I also went out of state and my doctor recommended getting to the 2 week post up appt before letting me go home

My NUT said to add back in carbs. Best decision I ever made. I have about 100 grams a day and losing steadily. Carbs are not the enemy of chose the right ones.

Taco bell chicken fresco soft taco. Port of subs lettuce or wheat wrap. Starbucks reduced fat turkey bacon breakfast sandwich. I very rarely eat these things though

I just saw My NUT. And she said not to worry about carbs. She said calorie count was the main indicator. I am usually between 70 and 90 now. I am losing well. I actually just added back in some good carbs and I feel good

The best way for me to get through it was get lots of liquids, make sure it's not acid and eat on a schedule focusing on protein first even if you don't feel hungry

The best way to control is get plenty of fluids, make sure it's not acid and eat on a schedule even if you don't think you are hungry.

Yeah I feel your pain.I hate mine. The only days I have used it was when I was forced to in the hospital right after surgery. I. Tried right after surgery and it caused me pain in my chest so I quit and haven't used it since. I realize this isn't good but it's just my reality

I am averaging about a half pound a day. That is with stall a included. It always seems slower than it is.

I agree with the others on not over packing. I had to stay 2 nights. You will wear a hospital gown the entire time. I wore the same outfit into the hospital that I did out of the hospital. Lip balm and gas x strips were priceless. I will also highly recommend ear plugs. The nurses station was super loud and right outside my door. Everything else the hospital provided

Syntrax nectar fuzzy navel. Its the only protein shake i can do mixed with water.

The first two weeks are super rough but it will get better.

I am afraid getting aT Dr in when I go back to work Monday will be challenging too

Tomi71, laughing so hard because I did the same thing. I must have looked at so many different recipes to make smores it was ridiculous.

I just had my 8 week check up today and I return to work on Monday. My NUT said weight loss percentage was good and not to worry too much about the scale. She also said under t0 grams of carbs was too low. She also said over the next couple mo,the to increase calories to 1100. It's always a little scary but I will try. I went for fun today to try on clothing and I am down 2 sizes. It felt good to try on things I liked that for. I highly recommend it even if you don't buy anything. It does lift the spirits up!

Make sure the headaches atent due to dehydration. I had really bad headaches for a few days after surgery and my surgeon said I could have excexrin of I cut it into smaller peices

Breakfast is 2 cups or 16 oz of Fair life milk with click espresso protein shake, snack is string cheese or boiled egg. Lunch is 4 oz of deli turkey. Dinner is Turkey burger wrapped in lettuce with cheese. Snack might be a peach or another string cheese

Yeah that is normal to me. I could finish I packet of Protein soup. I was stuffed but I finished it

I had my hysterectomy laparscopically assisted by davinci robotic device. My sleeve was laparscopic. I can say I did not notice any difference
