I went for my 6 week post op appt yesterday and including the weight I lost on my pre op diet program...I am down 51 lbs. I'm so happy. I got the ok to start going to the gym and start strength training. I got a membership yesterday and got a gel injection in my bad knee today. So I have to rest it and ice it today. But I'm so excited to start this next phase. I'll get 5 weekly gel injections in my knee and I'll be like a youngin again. Can't wait to get to gym and start toning.

once a week for 5 weeks. I just have to rest it the day of the injection and then I can resume normal activity the next day. They are a gel that helps to cushion the knee and it should last a few years but I'm hoping between this and weight loss my knee will be good.

Early on they sit in your stomach like a brick.
Protein Shakes are a lot easier while you are still healing the first 6 months.

I'd say you should be fine. I read an article the other day and it was saying when a sleeve pt over eats at say a holiday event they would be consuming maybe 1500 calories vs prior to the surgery where it would several thousand calories. Just so they go back on track afterward and don't make it a habit.

Congratulations!!!

I love the bananas and cream pre-op but after surgery it was way too sweet for me. I used what I had by mixing with frozen strawberries or frozen bananas and PB2. I had one scoop of Jay Robb chocolate powder left and had that it was fine. I'll think I'll try the chocolate for awhile. If you live near a Sam's club they have them there cheapest I've found you get 12 for $14.

Sipping timer, yes that's a good idea. I had my kids help me. I have the echo dot. We would set a timer for 5 mins then I drink an ounce then the girls set the timer again.

Also try sugar free popsicles

I hope everything goes well for you. I commend you for what you've gone through and still going through this process. I'm sure it'll be worth it for you in the end.

I work in a hospital and I know different doctor's order different preps. There is one that orders the whole gallon of go lytely. However most use a jar of Miralax in 64 oz of propel.

You look amazing

Make sure you're not over doing it activity wise and Is suggest starting Vitamins. I get that way standing up in church but I also break out in a cold sweat just pouring off, but I'm fine walking its just standing still for some reason.

I had to look up "apron" & damn it, I have one. [emoji23] I am so hoping it goes away. I hate it even more now that it has a name. [emoji1326]

I can see it now...

people can be so mean and petty.
