    Low BMI and Gastric Sleeve

    don't listen to them about your decision I too had a lower BMI from 36-38 but I felt like I was dying and or going to have a stroke or heart attack, my whole body hurt everyday And my feet too. Today 3 weeks out from sleeve surgery I have lost 14 lbs 24 total and have not felt this alive in a few years. Good job on using preventative measures for your health and well being. Congrats

    Protein drinks

    I use Inspire Protein shakes from Bariatric Eating and my favorite so far is the pumpkin pie and the peanut butter cookie, they are tasty low calorie easy to shake, blend or use magic bullet and they have pure whey proteinisolate what we can absorb and need as Bariatrics not the blends etc
  4. thanks everyone Tylenol helped but I feel the headache is right there waiting for me lol I hate headaches me too they come and go every couple of days I decided to have a single Cappuccino yesterday took me all day to sip it but it worked and it didn't hurt my stomach but helped the headache go away I am prone to migraines so I had to do something I can't take excedrin anymore just grateful so far no migraine since surgery August 11 but they lurk for sure

    Ughhhh

    I didn't mean to say your food was bad, just the ones you mentioned are extremely high in fat and calories (my signature dip is the buffalo for parties always asked to make it lol) now it doesn't mean you can't have it is what I'm told but we are only allowed to eat 800 calories a day to continue to lose weight and or to keep it off depending on exercise, so how I am working with the thought of not having certain foods like I used too or the portions is that if I want for example to take 2 table spoons of buffalo dip for example then that means I have to walk 3 miles that day at a minimum. Sort of like that anyways. I'm on day 9 post op and I am so over the soups too, but I also have to remind myself that I had this surgery so that I can stop the insanity of gaining and to reduce my weight significantly. I already push my limits by drinking my soups too fast and I am going to therapy once a week to help me with my habit of over indulgence. It's going be very challenging, I hope I did not hurt your feelings, the liquid stage does suck

    Ughhhh

    I was told it is wise to reprogram your eating habits during the honeymoon stage the first year of surgery, so that by the time you are healed totally you will not eat all these foods that got you to the sleeve in the first place. Weight gain is unavoidable if you keep your old habits and old favorite foods.

    Why Am I Dropping Weight So Slowly?

    my NUT said the lbs are not an indication of weightless the percentage of fat is the most important not your BMI but your amount of fat in your body, I have lost .5% in a week post op and I'm excited about it, I only have lost 6.6 lbs post op be positive and be careful of too much weight loss at once, I am meeting quite a few people that lost 70lbs in two months and now are dealing with ailments due to rapid weight loss life threatening and debilitating. It's about getting healthy and having a strong tool. Good luck on your journey!
