Curious as to what others experienced one month out. I have lost a total of 20 lbs. most was lost in the first two weeks. Only 2-3 lb in the last two. I am wondering if this is typical. I have introduced soft foods fish, cottage cheese, cheese, etc and am eating most all Proteins for each meal. I am unable to eat much so seems like I would be dropping more.

Thank you for your reply! Sounds like we are about the same. Starting weight was 228 and have lost 20. Can't wait to add chicken and more solid Proteins. This purée is yuck. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

cogal replied to D'Sleeved's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I took all of the above and did not use anything. I wore the same thing home I wore to surgery. You will sleep/rest most of the time. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App- 90 replies

How does the sleeve compare to gallbladder surgery?
cogal replied to GSV's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I think the gallbladder is much harder than the sleeve. You have minimal pain with the sleeve. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

There are many different types of Protein. Many are not effective and a waste of money. Protein drinks should be made with whey isolate for the body to properly absorb. It is unfortunate so many nut are not letting people know. There are not a ton on the market but you can order on Amazon/. Matrix makes one and Bariatric Advantage..
