When you have to sit on a pillow because your booty hurts

I had to increase my protein with food. For three months after surgery I couldn’t stomach the shakes. They all tasted chalky to me You are very welcome. My doctor suggested 60g for me

Before surgery I was drinking Unjury or Ensure protein. After surgery my taste changed. I couldn’t drink either one. After a couple of months I found Lean 25 at GNC. I love them. I got my sister hooked on them too

I’m only 5 feet

I took a stool softener and fiber pills for a few months.

I didn’t do anything special

My starting weight was 257 Surgery Weight was 236 Current weight : 174

I’m doing great. How are you

It depends on my day or mood. Also depends on if I’m at work. Work days I eat at 6:45am. I eat protein first. That could be a yogurt or egg or oatmeal or even chicken. Lunch I can eat a salad or chicken and a vegetable and same for lunch. I eat my last meal around 7 or 8pm. I eat three meals and two snacks. I have coffee early in the morning. Small portions are s key. I do cheat sometimes. I don’t deprive myself of anything. I have my lemon drop cookies. I even have my chicken strips from Popeyes. My cat [emoji250] helps me eat those. Lol

When you go to your orthopedic surgeon office and the doctor and medical assistant says WHERE IS THE OTHER HALF OF YOU. LOL [emoji23]

[emoji4] thank you

Congratulations!! It’s normal for the hair to come out. Mine started at three months out. It grew back thicker which is a good thing. I take all my vitamins and biotin too. Some people get lucky and don’t have hair loss. When you have a stall, your body is playing catch up. Don’t stress over it. It’s normal too. If you continue to stall try increasing your protein. I had do this. Hope this helps

I think I have a stall every couple of months. It’s very normal. My first stall was at a month out. Body was playing catch up. The second stall I had to increase my protein to break the stall. I’m a slow loser also

I can only eat 4oz or 5 oz about every three hours now. At first I could only eat a few teaspoons of food. At about two months I was up to 2 1/2 oz of food. So for the life it should be about 4 to 5 oz.

I’ll be a year out on Saturday. I’ve lost 82 lbs so far. I’m proud of myself. I had the Sleeve done. Feel free to ask any questions
