Hi,
I recently had my surgery on May 24th. It has not been that long but I am very happy with the decision I made. I am a litle bit concern because I lost quite a few pounds but seem to be stuck. I was reading on this forum that eating properly and taking the Vitamins and Proteins is very, very important. Did this happen to you at the beginning as well? Please advise.
Congratulations by the way!!!!! I am very happy you are almost at your goal weight.

The sleeve gave me a whole new life. I had gotten so large that it was hard to even do basic every day things, and I have never been a person who is satisfied with the basic every day life anyway.
I wanted adventure. I wanted to travel. I wanted to have more pleasure in my life That came from somewhere else besides a menu. I wanted to dance. I wanted to feel comfortable in my own skin. I wanted my pain to go away.
That is why I got sleeved. And my faith was not misplaced. I am down over 100 pounds in a little over seven months, and I have purchased an RV, so I can travel. I am literally embarking on a whole new life which would have been impossible at my previous weight.
The sleeve saved my life. Even though it was and is a sacrifice, every bit of it has been worth it to me. I wish I could've done this for myself along time ago, as I would be at goal by now. It was one of the best decisions of my adult life.

All Drs have their own programs. Mine wants us to get in at least 80 grams a day as a female and 100 as a male. The more Protein you get in the faster the weight will drop. Same with Water. The more the better, the weight will drop faster.
Protein also helps in healing and minimizing the effects of post-op Hair loss and other side effects.
I'm over a year out and still losing because I keep up on my protein. It also makes me feel better. If I'm feeling tired I can eat a Protein Bar and be energized.
