Praise God, I am finally tolerating more. I SUCK at measuring and counting calories...but I do still try my best to reach my daily Protein, even if I have to use a shake. It's amazing what happens in just a few short weeks. I went from struggling to getting 2 ozs in, to eating a small meal, just as they said I would get to.
My plan included soft meats by week 4. That chewing slowing is key...but I've noticed each week, getting meals down has gotten easier and easier...even meats.
Looking forward to getting all of my protein from meals!!!
According to my packet of instructions, on this Tuesday at 6 weeks, I will hit maintenance. I'm still losing, but the big drop has moved to about 1-2 lbs a week, which is fine by me. That week 3-4 stall had me down, but glad to see the scale moving. Still so grateful to God for this opportunity to get right and fit after years of trying. This was definitely in His will for my life at this time!

Congrats on .. You success.. No complications are always a blessing. How are you tolerated food etc? Keep in touch let us know how you are. We are here for everyone .. Blessings to you.????????????

Hello ladies it's been a couple of days ???????????? how are we all doing? I'm 14 days out and doing okay .. Having trouble with drinking to fast but that's it. How are we mentally .. I hope this reaches you all in high spirits ..hope to hear from you all soon. Be Blessed.

I got the clearance yesterday to start eating soft foods. I can't eat much and I find myself having to sit up real straight and it hurts in my back when I get full. Weird. Still having a little nausea and diarrhea but I think I need a med adjustment

Thank God for this thread. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. We are making the necessary steps to preserve the temples( our bodies) that he has blessed us with.

I would love this. I've been raised in a Christian home but just recently became a Christian myself. So any help or advice would be awesome!

Or going too have sleeve surgery wanted to start a support thread ????????

I am a few days shy of the two month mark... i am down 76 pounds so far

Down 65 pounds at 12 weeks post op

This is the first time posting any pics. I am a couple days shy of 2 mos post op. Down 46lbs.

This is me, 7 months post-op..79lbs lost

I had surgery almost 10 months ago. Hubby is just eatting better

I remember being pre-op and my favorite thing to do was look at progress photos and dream
I am 6 months, 10 days post op and I am down 128 pounds total. This isnt a very great pic since I have been sick, but i still took it because anything is better than my before!!

had my first sip of soup yesterday to ease into the stage 2...I felt 100 times stronger, lol. So glad that people are doing well around the same amount of time as i am--1 week post-op today. 1st appt. tomorrow!

Went to the dr today for my follow up and he said the average most people can eat is 4-8oz. I'm 6 days post op and am around 4oz per meal of full liquids myself... He said as the swelling of the stomach goes down (up to week 8 i think he said), you can start taking in a little more over time

lol me too

Is anyone else able to do 8 oz of soup or anything? I just had no problem having 8 oz of soup and feel like I could of ate the whole can. I feel so hungry ...
