My surgeon recommends (your weight) x 0.3 grams of Protein. So a 150lb individual would require 50 grams of protein

The danger is tearing the stitches that hold your abs together. You would definitely feel it if you tore them.

Mine had to be with the same person for 6 months, but every insurance is different. You are best to call your insurance and find out

My favorite nsv is when someone says to me that my weight loss is inspirational. It has happened 3 times so far and I'm only 6 weeks post.

3 week stall. This is normal. Stick to your plan and it'll come back down soon.

Do you ever have that moment of clarity where you step back and wonder "what the hell did I just do?". I had that moment and came to rant about it. I had sleeve surgery on June 1st and since then: - My clothes don't fit anymore. I went to wear my favorite shirt yesterday and it was TOO BIG!!! - People keep telling me I'm looking great. The nerve of some people! - I don't snore anymore. How am I supposed to annoy my wife while I'm asleep?? - I'm wearing size 38 pants now. I wore those in HIGH SCHOOL! I'm basically a high schooler now!!! - My gentleman's sausage looks twice as big now. That's like twice as much to disappoint my wife! - I don't sweat anymore. It is the middle of summer and I don't sweat even when I work out. - My feet never hurt anymore. I used to have terrible foot pain and it is GONE! I think I need to go sit in a quite place for a while and relax now.

I chose the sleeve as it seemed to have the least amount of downsides. I originally wanted a lap band, but didn't like the complications associated with it

I went up just after surgery. Don't worry, it'll come off quickly if you follow your plan. Relax and take care of yourself.

My toughest part is the mental thing. I'm addicted to wanting to eat. Expecially late night watching tv.it sucks Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App I broke my night snacking routine by walking on a treadmill while watching TV. An hour of that and I stopped being hungry.

I had no trouble walking after. The whole not lifting anything for a month was hard, though.

I had mine on June 1st. I didn't have to do a liquid diet, but post op was rough for a few weeks. Are you able to have Protein shakes as part of your pre op diet? Those may help.

I had greek yogurt on day 2 (it is part of my plan) and I can drink a protein shake in 5 mins easily at almost 6 weeks out.

I also had my sleeve done on June 6th. I ate corn on the cob today and it came right back up! Something tells me corn is not good for my system going forward... Thoughts? Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App Corn is a starch, and not allowed on my plan until the maintenance phase.

Half a pound a day is still really good. That's about what I'm at. Don't get discouraged. If it is really bothering you then only weigh in once a week.

My plan allows for 1/2 banana at 4 weeks. If in doubt, contact your nut.

Your goal should be at least 60 grams of Protein at your current weight. Eat 5 times a day. You're doing great with your weight loss so far.

When did you start eating wings?

I'm allowed one small serving of fruit per day on my plan. It is cherry season and I'm loving it.

Yes. Don't sweat it. It'll come back down. Your body is just adjusting to your new eating habits

I waited two weeks

As a newbie, I'll miss your advice.

I had no energy from week 2-3. It does get better. How often are you eating and drinking? I eat every two hours and drink in between. Are you drinking protein shakes? Those count as liquids.

I'm doing well except for a huge energy loss in the evenings. I can't get anything done anymore. Hopefully that passes

I had no idea I had sleep apnea before my sleep study. I can't wait to get reevaluated after I lose more weight. I hate it.

Happy Canada Day, Eh? Take off, hoser
