Dr Schmidt from Advanced Laparoscopic Associates in Paramus, NJ - done in Hackensack Hospital

I was sleeved June 5th, so i am on my 10th week this week. The first two weeks i lost 18 lbs but the 8 weeks since then have been ssslllloooowwwww! I go between 30-32 lbs down. Eating is kind of like torture.. I am lucky if I get 4oz a meal, then i get really full and uncomfortable. I guess I am doing something wrong... probably because I am not exercising. After work I have no energy - but I try to walk as much as I can. I get my vitamins in because i have the patch so it is easy for me. I do pretty good with my protein intake but water isnt as easy. Just very discouraged these days when you see no results AND cant eat... oh.. starting weight 244 current weight 214

I struggle with breakfast as well so I will have a Pure Protein shake that has 35g of protein OR a Pure Protein bar that has 20g of protein in it .. the shakes I prefer the cookies n cream flavor and the bars I have Choc. w/ peanut caramel and its pretty good! hope this helps

How long after surgery is it ok to try some wine ?

I can tell you what I went through and the little things I did to make my life more comfortable
