Forgot my info. Sleeved 1/20/1 SW 240lbs CW 153lbs Down 87lbs and have never felt better!!

No Bm issues here. Sometimes I may skip a day but I don't worry about it. Today, for lunch, I had 1 slice of Swiss cheese with one slice of turkey on top then spread a laughing cow wedge rolled it up and sliced into small pieces. I chewed it very well. It went down ok but had to walk around a bit for it to slide down. It was delicious and satisfying and best of all I calculated it be 16.5 grams of protein. I cannot tolerate the protein shakes anymore, they upset my stomach. Still struggling with water due to nausea. Down 32 lbs.

Hi. I was sleeved on January 20th. Started phase 4 of foods which is normal diet. Today I wrote down everything I ate and it came to 743 calories and 47 grams of protein. Need advice on whether or not this sounds accurate.

Hi Everyone!! I was sleeved on the 20th as well. I'm struggling with head hunger and looking forward to the puréed food I start on Wednesday. My hw was 240,sw 225 and today's weight 214. Some of the puréed foods I have lined up are fat free refried beans with some melted cheddar and low fat sour cream, cottage cheese mixed with sugar free apricot jam and a ricotta bake. Also, I bought some chunky navy bean and lentil soups to purée. YUM!!!!

Right there with you. I'm 10 days out and can't get pizza and steak off my mind.

I was sleeved on the 20th as well. This is day 3 for me. I was miserable to and instantly thought what did I do to myself. I do feel better today but I am no where near meeting my liquid and protein goals. Gas spasms in stomach are lessening and are not as strong as they were. I can't use my cpap cause it causes me to have more gas. Still hoping each day I feel stronger. I am more awake today. I to thought I would be one to handle this easily but boy was I wrong!!

VSG surgery tomorrow. It has taken me 6 months to get to this point. I'm not nervous at all, just very excited!

Long island NY vsg is tomorrow at 3pm.

January 20th for me! Starting to get a little nervous about how drastic this is but I will not back out. Good luck to us all!!

I started with the nectar sample pack. Now I buy the 2 lb container of the nectar cappuccino and chocolate truffle. I really like them and have no desire to try other brands.

Just got my surgery date today!! January 20th it is!!!!! I am so happy and excited.

Long Island!! Estimated surgery is January.

I smoke pot regularly but do plan on stopping when I start my pre op. I know it gives me the munchies. I have no intention of sabotaging my new little stomache.

Hi. I'm a January/February 2016 sleeve also. I started in August and was initially disappointed about my 6 month monitored weight requirement but now I don't mind. The holidays are stressful enough, I don't need to throw a surgery and life changing event in the middle of them. I've been researching what to eat at all the different phases so I feel I will be well prepared. Looking forward to speaking with you all as we go through this together.
