Hi. I was wondering what your stats are before u had the band ? I used to love smoothies avacado bannana and some kind of berries. It's a mix and match situation to see what you like. I don't tend to have them now as I feel the calories soon adds up for me ( sleeve ) and I know if I was to eat it whole I wouldn't be Able to havr that much but every now and then I need a boost of like a kale juice with some sweet fruits in Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

Haven't read comments but what are you having to cheat. What stopped me from cheating is the fear of having a leak. You think what you ate went down fine but you have no idea if your causing damade till it's too late. Also what you can have depends from plan to plan so you should ask your team or check your paper work for what it says you can have on your next stage. It won't be long till you can eat normal food so hang in there. Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

Your body doesn't care about your chart. And your chart doesn't know your body Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

Oopsie snap. Ha didn't read other responses before I commented exactly the same as you lol Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

That is amazing. I expect things to slow down for me now. Did you find it slowed down after the first few months ? Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

Don't forget to account for stalls. Your maths skills are wonderful. But some months you may lose ZERO!!! So that will through some of your calculations into the trash or you could lose every month and your stats be correct..I will be watching lol. Can you do some calculations with my stats to see when I will be at 135? With I think 3 months of no weightloss. And how much I should have lost by now 4 months post with your calculations don't cheat and look at the side bar that shows weight loss haha. Sw -244 sw 235 gw 135 Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

*Before some people start with the whole " why would you have this surgery if your going to have take out. Take out made you fat" calm down lol many things made us fat but a bite of take out every now and again isn't going to make people fat. But if it's not for you that's perfect. But let's not judge people lol. I was just curious if people did how often and what they have and how much I rarely have take out/fast food.. if my family go to KFC I have the skin of one drumstick lol that's it. Or one hotwig that's me full. I find the amount I'm able to eat fascinating.

4 months post I love eating. Haha love trying food. Now I'm more selective what I put in my mouth and it has to taste good or I won't waste my time. That being said I enjoyed the phase of not being interested in food I lost the most weight haha so don't waste this time Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

That's terrible why didn't they just do the sleeve then? I've heard of people having the other in surgery for whatever reason. I'm so so sorry I can't imagine being opened up and the surgery not have been done. Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

Holding on.. fine. But I have never heard of eating to little causing WEIGHT GAIN( Unless a medical issue obviously) She remembered her crackers later on. I'm sure we have all digested something and forgot about it.. I'm not saying op is not telling the truth but if she goes to her doctors and finds nothing medically wrong. Just how she forgot to mention her bag of crackers. Is just how she could be forgetting something else. If that makes sense ? Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

If that's the case why don't anorexics get fat with their low intake ? And I suppose even with us.. our intake is considered low so we would all be f***kd but I'm sure there is some kind of truth in it .. in some way Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

Your so kind !! Did you mean me or a different poster ? Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

Snap to the ingonito I tried to take a pic of my collar bone coming through but I changed my mind haha Sent from my Vivo 5R using BariatricPal mobile app

I was given ppi and I'm on it for 18 months

I was living laxatives from my primary care doctor to have after surgery to get me going. Consider that. Your not doing anything wrong you will feel restriction when on dense protein. If you feel something is wrong inside speak to your doctor. And feeling down.. well alot of us did. I did but wasn't sure why it's abit adjustment. My sickness was worse in pureephase and I was okay when I started solids. Keep working at it

I saw someone's surgery canceled because she had nicotine in her system she doesn't smoke but her boyfriend smokes all through out the house when their bedroom.

You are allowed to have it when your plan says your allowed. I am sure you are aware that all plans can be different so no one can tell you when to have it. My plan on the other hand didn't say anything about raw fish so I had it when I was on normal food I tried some..

5 ounces of DENSE protein? ( Eg meat fish ) or five ounces of liquid protein ?

That's good to know others are thinking similarly!

Wow you look perfect. I don't have a husband anymore otherwise I'm sure I'd be able to live with it. I have two kids with my ex husband. Pre surgery. And now I have to start all over again lol I've bought shape way recently. They are too lose. So perhaps I'm still a mess in mind about my sizing lol. You look awesome

I'm so glad to hear others feel the same ! Tell me about you and your stats? Fluxy I'm sorry but I'm not much of a picture taker I'm also mostly a wheelchair user so don't look much different in pics people have taken as I'm sat down Lol when im upright is most difference but none taken myself !

I'm curious what people's views are on having plastic surgery. And if you plan on having it .. at what stage will you have it ? For me.. initially I thought I'd never have plastics surgery and neither did I think I'd ever have weightloss surgery lol but here we are hah so I'm open minded. Now I'm only 4 months in. And I've lost 58lbs. I didn't expect to be as saggy as I am as when I lost 50 lbs in the same amount of time I didn't sag but oddly I've lost more inches this time round. So I think when I get to my goal weight my tummy will not be so great so now I'm contemplating a tummy tuck at goal.i can cope with my boobs looking like someone removed some socks out of a stuffed sock so it's just deflated.. lol Curious to hear from those who have had it too. And at what stage in their journey they had it.

I don't eat 1145 lol it's set automatically.

I'm half way there. I didn't think I'd get there this fast as I'm a light weight and I was told by my team to expect to go at a snail's pace. I'm now down 58lbs. And I never thought it was possible .. I have 51lbs to go. Knowing I've lost more than I have to lose makes me believe I will get there one day. And I've said to myself there is no rush. Id like to be at my goal by 12-18 months but im aware the loss gets slower as you get closer. It's still surreal to think one day I may be in a 'normal' weight bracket. It's not been a smooth journey for my health not related to the sleeve. But I'm great full for the sleeve curing my high blood pressure and making me more confident. I didn't think I'd look much different between 244 and 186 but people already treat me differently like I'm in a new body. I am alot saggier than I imagined I'd be. My tummy my butt thighs and top of my arms but I don't mind so much. Just thought I'd share my experience.. I'm.one of the people that doubted it would work for.me. as nothing else did ! It's odd to say that I'm in a stage were it's so much easier. I don't feel I'm dieting. It's not hard for me to follow my plan seeing my amazing results.. and it's never been easier. When I used to diet I'd starve and struggled. But I'm eating healthy and living my life.

Please do your research. How much liquids you can consume has no bearing on how much solid you can consume. Dense protein will cause restrictions. Liquids don't.this is in the basic level of research. Your sleeve is fine. Just be great full your not struggling not use it as another reason to worry.
