I was expecting all the problems getting my Protein Shakes down and meeting Protein goals but had no idea how hard drinking Water (or herbal tea, Vitamin water, etc) would be. Even the tinest sip gave me nausea. This has been much more challenging than the shakes and protein. Today is better but wonder if I'll make it even close to 64 oz of water. I hope I can because I am so THIRSTY. Even though I thought I had prepared mentally for everything and even heard water would be a challenge but just didn't understand. I just hope eventually I can drink water more like a normal person!!

Thank you for sharing and motivation. 2017 will be a great year. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

You're all doing amazing! Try to just relax and keep doing what you're doing.
As far as exercise goes, 15-30 minutes of walking is more than sufficient for now. When we are so early out and can hardly consume any calories, exercise can actually hinder weight loss. I know. But make sure you're doing some kind of movement to help keep muscle you're losing and get that heart going a bit. Losing weight is 80% diet, NOT exercise.
Once you feel you can eat more, then exercise more. You should also be slowly raising calories as time goes on. Probably the next time you stall, bump them up a bit in the form of Protein. This allows your metabolism to continue boosting while also setting your metabolic rate for when you are maintaining your weight, and won't have to live on 800 calories for the rest of your life, lol.
To put things into perspective for you and the other posters worried about their losses, it just all depends on starting weight, gender, age, other contributing illnesses, etc. It took me 5 months to lose 50 pounds, 12 months to get to my goal of 85, and 15 months to lose what I'm maintaining now of a 92 pound loss.
It's all relative.

Happy New Year, I was Sleeved on Dec 7th and only have lost 18 pounds. I see so many postings of people loosing up 40 pounds. I'm little disappointed but I guess every body is different. Good luck Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I made it through christmas and boy it was not easy. As the smell of tamales wafted through the air while they were cooking and the spoon scraping the bottom of the posole pot was chiming in my ears. The warmth of the fresh bread baking in the oven followed by the sweet flavors of the buttery snowball Cookies being dunked in powdered sugar. I managed to to decorate the sugar cookies like a family and participate in most of the christmas traditions that we usually do but boy was it hard not to lick the frosting off my fingers when it would drip off the cookie. As everyone ate i too ate my 2 oz of turkey along with my family though it was not the hardest day of my life it was the most trying but i kept my wits and thanked god i was able to withstand the temptations. I only pray for everlasting strengh through my journey. And although i am happy i made it through it also makes me sad about how much this life of mine revolved around food.

I was wondering what kind of support your friends and family gave you when you decided to have the surgery done?
My mom and my 3 oldest sons and a friend of mine aren't very supportive of me getting this done. They say things like, You don't need the surgery it's not a quick fix you know or why do you have to do that to your body. And that is starting to make me think that I'm not doing the right thing for myself but deep down I know I am. Just wondering.
