I was sleeved Feb 1. I started at 263 and today hit 213, so 50 lbs gone.
I focus on Proteins, and don't care about counting fat, carbs, or calories (yet). I have had slip ups (a tiny piece of cake, some fritos) and drink a small glass of wine 3 ish days a week. Other than the 3 week stall I have been losing. So if you have a bad meal/day, you can't give up. One bad meal/day won't make you fat, like one salad won't make you skinny!
I also do cardio 3-4 days a week and weights once a week. My goal in May is to up the weights to 2-3 days a week and add in a day of yoga.

I am a veterinarian and I planned on taking 6 weeks off. However I am 3 weeks out today and feel great, so may return next week.
Don't push yourself or else you may get an incisional hernia, which means more surgery.

I had mine 2/1. 3 weeks down and lost almost 30 lbs (262 to 234).

I got my date yesterday after insurance cleared. I am going Feb 1!!

I was sleeves Monday too! Stayed 2 nights because I am worried about dehydration and now am home. My incisions HURT! And just general gas pain. I am able to get isolate sips down. Tomorrow I will try some injury broth. I am not drinking anything without Protein in it.
I just feel so full and gassy and bloated. Blech.

Question with those with kids - how are you handling meal prep this week on the liquid diet for the family? I don't want to be around food much and be too tempted.

I am going Feb 1 as well!
I will be on a liquid diet 8 days before.

@@Yadie2006 Zare is so cool. I started my preop diet today, but it is only 1 Meal Replacement today and 2 Meal Replacements tomorrow (solid food OK for those 2 days).
Let's keep in touch!
