Was sleeved in 2016, weight before pre-op diet was 453 pounds. Surgery weight was 429. Lowest weight was 330. My current weight is 399 pounds. Not gonna blame it on stress or anything. Was just very undisciplined. Is there any advice anyone can give me me or is there anyone on here whos been through this or is currently going through this??

So i had my first carbonated drink, a 8.4 ounce sugar lightly carbonated redbull. It was the best beverage I've had since surgery and i tolerated it pretty well, but i don't plan om making it a habbit. Im 2 months and 12 days out and 45 pounds down. I want honest opinions about carbonated drinks and why we shouldn't drink them and how do they effect us. Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App

Wow, this was good to hear because my capacity food intake slightly increased. I gotta give this a try. Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App

No, i cut them in half. And each half is between 3-4 inches. If your asking if i can finish the whole wrap in one sitting, NO. But i can finish half in 15 minutes. Each half is only 3 bites. Unless you nibbling like you 2 weeks post op lol Sent From Galaxy Note 5 using the BariatricPal App You should see the look on subway lady's face when I ask her to slice my 12 inch tuna sub in to 6 parts. I make six meals out of it and I have difficulty finishing each meal at one sitting. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Lol they do the same thing when i get my 6 inch cut in half. How far out are you ?? Sent From Galaxy Note 5 using the BariatricPal App

I am living on egg whites turkey bacon and oatmeal lol and Protein shakes of course. But I'm not a good cook. Trust me, i tried to chef it up a couple times but it always turned out to be wasted money and wasted food. Sent From Galaxy Note 5 using the BariatricPal App

Psst, aim higher than that. If you say "I'm no James Beard," you'll be taken far more seriously as the new Bariatric Pal chef. Serious question because I'm curious: Do you cook much for yourself? i cook once or twice a week. And when i do its egg whites and a piece of turkey bacon or oatmeal. My Protein is all i pretty much focus on Sent From Galaxy Note 5 using the BariatricPal App

Came up with this before hitting the gym. Spinach tortilla with a piece of turkey bacon, oven roasted sliced turkey, fat free ranch reduced fat cheese and crushed red pepper for flavor. Low fat and not heavy on your stomach. I'm not chef boy r dee (did i spell that right??) lol, so my diet pretty much consists of 3 20g-25g Protein shakes a day. I try to keep it as simple as possible. I recently added snacking between 2 of my meals a day into my diet. Gave me more energy and made the scale drop a lot faster. I'm able to eat bread and tortillas but I'd rather leave the bread out and stick to spinach tortillas only instead of regular since they are only 15 calories for each wrap and don't get me as full and stuffed feeling.

Them foam/slime spit up episodes be something serious huh ? Lol, had my 2nd one since surgery (July 7th). All i did was have a bite of my niece cinnamon toast crunch Cereal. Too much sugar i guess. Sent From Galaxy Note 5 using the BariatricPal App

Jealous of your recovery. I went through alot of pain for the first week and I lowkey felt regretful afterwards, but in the end its all worth it Sent From Galaxy Note 5 using the BariatricPal App

Express away. Not all of us behave that way. Yeah i know, i won't judge the whole bariatric pal community off of those few rotten eggs. Sent From Galaxy Note 5 using the BariatricPal App

Lol I'm slowly learning that this just isn't the place to express your sleeve experience sometimes. You got people that will be quick to judge you by your post and assume.. but i will forever be thankful for the people that give good advice and motivate me with encouraging words instead of trying to make you look dumb and uneducated when they know nothing about you. I see it way too often. Sent From Galaxy Note 5 using the BariatricPal App

Thats already in motion, my education is mandatory, i don't consider it a hobby which is why i didn't mention it. I'm not here to prove how smart i am. I'm talking about simple life changes not education. The party lifestyle i once live was in College. But didn't stop me from getting my education.

The surgery came with a huge lifestyle change. Im 21 years young so... i did a lot of partying and drinking (wasn't a alcoholic tho). Prior to drinking i ate to prepare for the turn up lol and after drinking more eating.... followed by sleeping. When you don't work out or live an active lifestyle... thats a BAD mixture and i know thats where all my weight came from. Now that thats over with i picked up other hobbies. Now that my pockets are heavier because i don't spend most of my money on alcohol and fast food i picked up a sneaker addiction lol been buying at least 1-2 pairs a week since surgery. And i also picked up gaming (PS4) . If I'm not at work I'm either at the gym getting my daily 2.5 mile walk in or I'm at home playing video games and lifting weights. Lost a lot of friends since the lifestyle change but hey thats life right?? I'm happy and content with the new lifestyle change and loving the person I'm becoming.... After surgery whats the biggest thing that changed for you??? Sent From Galaxy Note 5 using the BariatricPal App
