I was sleeved on 3/28 and am down 78. I can honestly say I feel better than I have in years. My weight loss has slowed considerably, I have lost 2 lbs in the past months. My goal is to loose another 20 lbs. But I feel fantastic and am proud. I think that is the first time in my life I can say that I am proud of my body.... I have drastically changed what I eat and some of those changes are for life others til I make it to 1 year. Juice, soda, fancy coffee drinks are a thing of the past. I don't miss them any more. At times I struggle with how much of what I can eat. I am counting my protein and strive for at least 60 gms of protein a day. Carbs and calories, on the other hand, i am not sure what amount is right. I'd love to know what others are eating 8+ months out. My biggest success has been taking my son to Universal Orlando and being able to keep up with his speed. I was able to go on all the rides and even went to a water park and walked around in a bathing suit all day. It was pure bliss. so grateful

I am almost 7 months out and down 70 from SW. I slowed down considerably. I don’t count fat, just protein but I wonder what a good carb range is for the day. HW 260 SW 250 CW 178 GW 150

Sleeved on 3/28, have been eating really clean but today had a craving for BBQ sauce. Down 30 lbs and don't want to slow down the pace I've been loosing. Anyone introduced salsa, hot sauce other condiments? Are they just empty carbs and to be avoided?

Sleeved on 3/28 and starting to go stir crazy on the liquids. Just a few more days to go. I think I am going to make the ricotta bake and see if that helps. I made a coconut milk oat bran hot cereal that broke the monotony.

I add protein powered to my plain Greek yogurt. Boosts it up tremendously!

Are you still on clear liquids? My Dr. had me stay on clear liquids for 3 days. On day 5 I realized my body was not taking well to puréed phase, so I began making everything really soup-like, runny. I have felt much better since. 3/28 VGS date. Walking was the only thing to make me feel relief. Good luck!

I had mine the 28th as well. Managing gas pain by walking for 15-20 minutes every time I eat. Barely getting in 40 g of protein.
