Thank you all some really good ideas

I'm an 8 weeks out of sleeve surgery. July 22. 6months ago I weighed 262. Pre surgery 226 .now 211. 54 year old female I am doing great physicaly. Very happy I made this choice down from size 22/24 to 16/18 3x. To Lrg/x lrg Eating 3 meals a day. 2 small snacks. Egg beater1/4 cup low fat cheese 1/2 cup yogurt. Snack . 1/2 banana Lunch 2slices deli turkey rolled cheese. Other 1/2 yogurt. Dinner 3oz chicken squash or other veggie Snack. Popcycle Need to excite my meals. I hate eating such a waste of time for 3 bites. My fear I guess is eating and liking food to much again.

Just checked out of NUT. No weight loss. Not enough protein or calories. To boring. She says I need to kick it up a notch. Any ideas.

Lol big mama love that story

Wow Jen with room on each side awsome

I went to the gym tonight, with a physical therapist. Covered by insurance and I have reached my high deductible so yeah Ill go till January. Any how it was awesome to get back, it's been 8 weeks and I didn't realize how good it felt. And having a "trainer " is a bonus. So check with your surgeon and see if they have an after care exercise program through physical therapy. It's called M. O. V. E here in Rochester NY. Now my problem is finding time for one more thing.! ????

Awesome job. ????you look amazinging.

I hate hate hate tracking but with my smart phone(much smarter than me) piece of Cake(i mean fruit). It will even save your food and you just "add to your day " there r days I go ugh but I will take a picture and do it at the end of the day.. Give it a shot. But don't give up.

Sorry Krystal that was for a previous post. Go back to your roots. Let you tiny tummy know who's boss. Look at what you were eating and what you ate eating and go from there. You caught yourself early that is good. Look at old photos and remember the pain physical and emotional and all the work you've done on two years. Go on a second "honeymoon" phase show yourself your worth it...

I am sure you are fine. If you gained 4 pounds it wasn't because of one day. Think back are you eating a lot of fruit(carbs), drinking enough water? Relax listen to you body. Keep reading and posting you'll find an answer.

Happy happy happy for you all and your nap. Lauraellen you look bautiful

????fist bump

Yeah congrats to you

Thank you all for your help. Barrysue thank you do much for the list I will try some of those ideas.

Please don't smoke after 4 months you only want the Memory of smoking. I quit 12 times the last time was 15years ago. I am always a puff away from a pack a day. I made it through the death of my mother and several friends. Please don't do it.

I am 7 weeks out, not loosing slot but I'm OK with that. However, I don't want to eat! Nothing tastes good by the time I chew and savor it's all cold. It's such a chore trying to find protein(i hate lugemuns) when you know you can only get in a few oz. It doesn't add upt to very much. I've done Deli turkey Roll ups, egg salad yogurt chicken chicken chicken......theres not room for anything else so I sit down to a 2-3 of piece of grilled chicken. Boring, popcycles save my life. HELP

Walk it off friend walk it off....

I went to good will (temporary clothing) and was looking in 18/16 instead of 24/22/20. I walk by a mirror and wonder who's next to me( it's just me) my niece saw me in street clothes (we work together) and said crap you have the size you were. Good day good Day Auto correct. Half the size you were

Congratulations that is amazing keep it up.????

Went to see surgeon today for 6 week check up. I am on stage 5 foods, sooo happy. Lost 7 pounds in 4 weeks. A little disappointed but she assures me its OK, that the sleeve is a slow steady tool rather than a drop fast tool. Every thing was good and I am cleared for exercise. Even got a script for obese physical therapy. Private trainer. Water exercise training program. Paid for by my insurance.. So it was a good day...

Today I sneezed and didn't wet my pants. Lol us fifties get this...

Therealmelshere I asked my Dr to write a note for work but he explained it is not temporary and I will have to figure this out forever. My boss try to over look my "ileagle" activity. But there are 30 other people in my dept. Do he does his best to be fair. Slim fast is high in carbs I've tried many the gag factor is the final choice. Lol I'm sure this will get better. Thank for your help.

It been 2months that I've been sleeved, and I just don't feel right. I'm sure it's not a big problem but it bothers me. I've lost 22 surgery pounds,36 pretty surgery. My problem is I just don't want to eat, it's to much work. You get all that fixing and prep done and after 2 or 3oz your done. Now you get to eat the rest of that food all week. I'm eating healthy but finding it hard to choose to eat or drink. I work in food service do we have to leave our department to drink, I manage about 8 oz at work. One break, half hour lunch, food or liquid? When I'm hungry my stomach feels nauseous and bloated. While I eat I can feel the fullness come, by the time I get back to my dept I feel like I'm hungry again. Bloated nauseous. I can't tell if I'm hungry or full. I eat small meals. 1/4 cup egg for breakfast slim fast for break(drank over a couple hours) lunch 2oz turkey, some veggie, and I'm done. Break 1/2 cheese stick. Dinner mostly chicken and veg. I don't want to feel blah everytime I eat. I used to live to eat now I have to eat to live. I don't enjoy it at all. Any tips. Thank.

Congrats to you laura keep up the liquid

Follow the rules in hospital and at home. They do a test the day after surgury to check for leaks you wear compression sox and they check on you continuously. There are no guarantees but trust your care givers and surgeon.
