One year anniversary was 8/25/18 ....SW 355 CW 201 :) hope everyone is doing well!!!

Diane I personally really like Body Fortress whey Protein its super cheap and they sell it on Amazon if u have it or Walmart and it doesnt make u as sick. I dont think Doc is going to allow u to eat protein powder in foods because they want u to get the liquids in

Hey all I got Sleeved 8/25/2017, started my journey exactly a year ago today weighing 357 on 5/31/2017 ...a year later I am 210 and feel amazing however I will say it is very easy to go astray if you dont work at it every day. Best thing to do is if you slip just get right back going good luck to all of you. It aint easy.

120 pounds lost is so good! I’ve lost 81. Started out 299. Surgery weight 257 on 8/21/17. Now 218.

Also been stalling last month or so. Started diet pre surgery was 355...did surgery at 295...today I weigh 235 but i havent lost anything in over a month (im short) so I def can lose some more. Sleeved 8/25/17. Still happy losing 120 lbs but need to change something up. Also I am cold all the time as well!

Surgery date: 8/29
Starting Weight: 337
Surgery Weight: 292
Current Weight: 254
Goal Weight: 185
Started Diet in April lost about 45 lbs pre surgery the rest was after. Hit a little stall here but im trying to work out of it. Good job to everyone!

Anyone else barely ever go to
Bathroom? Beginning I did but now its like not very often at all. Obviously not talking about #1

For those worried about not losing weight i stalled at week 3....week 4 i lost 6 lbs so be patient everyone

I was sleeved 8/29. I did not lose weight before the surgery. I'm down 26lbs since surgery but I think that is because I did not lose pre-op. I'm eating about 500 calories and 60 grams Protein a day now. I'm trying to eat more but I can only manage a few bites of cottage cheese, everything else makes me feel like it is stuck. I have a shake, broth and popsicles. I found a broth with 9 grams of protein. I'm exhausted though.

I also think starting weight plays a huge part and how well you did before you had surgery. If you lost a good amount prior it may come off slower

Do any of you track your calorie intake? Just curious what everyone is eating a day. Im on day 24 and im on 2 meals and one shake now. CAlories are around 500 to 600. What are yours?

Im with u at 3 weeks getting a little gutsy with some of the foods but losing a little at a time i think thats perfectly healthy i mean its still early as well.

Yes all food is pureed or already soft like Yogurt for bfast with Protein Powder, egg whites for lunch and then dinner a shake usually which is fine and like u i am not hungry. Just trying to defer from shakes lol

Did the shakes for 12 days started food having no issues with 2 meals and 1 shake is it too early to transition to 3 meals if u can handle it? They say at ur pace

Try canned chicken Breast, splash of Buffalo Sauce, splash of Ranch dressing blend together and baked with sprinkle of cheese in oven. 350 degrees for 10 mins. Its very mushy easy to eat and if u finish a can with a little cheese its 20g of Protein. Better than a shake. I had no issue with that at day 17

My NUT said no fruit yet, but if your NUT says it's ok, go for it. If you've got contact information for them, text/email/call and ask! The worst that happens is you hear no.

Has anyones doctors ok'd them to add a banana to the Protein Shake? I know some say u can have mashed bananas during pureed stage but I read its best to avoid fruit for a month. My NUT never said that

I feel like I did have a little weakness in beginning but its getting better

I also started eating yesterday not much but if feels wierd!

Remember ur not moving that much and ur healing plus they load you up with air/gas. You wont drop much in first 2 weeks so dont be alarmed i only dropped a few myself and todays 2 weeks as well. As long as you are feeling good. Then u can start adding the gym and im sure it will come off.

Had first meal today was def nice to change up from shakes but Warning everyone else listen to them when they tell you to chew your food good! Lol i chewed a lot and it still feels lodged in my stomach im sure ill get used to it but was nice experience

It wasn't. There is really no mention about low sodium in the instructions I got. I know everyone has there own issues, but since we are having so little at a time, I imagine the sodium is also a smaller portion. Good luck!!

On my plan I can have Soup or V8. Yesterday I blended a can of Progresso Wedding soup. Wired color but not bad at all. Satisfied the savory craving and totally allowable. I can only get a third down anyway....

Also I feel pretty good as well similar black and blues but walking is no issue and pains gone for most part

I had mine same day progressing nicely. I lost almost 30 prior to surgery so in doing pretty well. shakes are annoying me at this point seems like everything you have is sweet. Just dying for a little salt lol
