I have followed the plan... and prepared myself.. lost the weight, ate healthier and had sleeve surgery 4 days ago... I’ve been walking.. sip sip sipping.. all I do! Getting enough Fluid, exercise and rest. Maybe a little slack on protein... but was told to focus on clear fluids for the first week... y’all... I am hungry... !! like what I wouldn’t do for a lick of peanut butter... a flipping strip of chicken.. is this normal???

Exactly what I needed to hear!! Thank you!! The sun is on the Horizon!!! Yes!!

Hello all,
I’m new to this forum, I’m now in the research part of my journey. I have pcos. I found out that I had it when I was 19, I’m currently 27. Married and no kids. We have been trying for years but no help. My current weight is 305. My question to you all. Has surgery helped with losing weight? Are you losing fast, slow? Thank you so much.

I'm about the same as before Christmas. Hovering around 112.5kg (248 pounds). When I don't lose weight for a few days, I panic that I've entered a little stall which is ridiculous. I wouldn't mind losing another 2 or 3 kg (6 pounds), just so that I could say I had lost 100pounds. I'm Australian and use the metric system, but 100 pounds sounds like an awesome milestone. But I WILL get there.

I will add mine later when I'm home (I don't think my co-workers would enjoy me taking stomach shots at work ) but I have a B shaped stomach so mine looks a little different than yours. Even after losing 115 pounds I cannot get the top part of my belly to go away. My skin isn't super loose but I still have the upper belly/lower belly look.

Thanks for starting this thread!
My surgery was on 12/14. It feels like a new birthday for me. I was so sick of watching life happen and being constricted on what I could or could not do or wear because of my weight. It was a hard decision, but I have little ones to live for, and I’m ready for a new beginning.

135 24.6 on normal bmi. First goal 196 under 200 I just want to make it lol

Protein2o saved me. It's a flavored water thing available at most grocery stores (usually near where Propel and Powerade and stuff are stocked). The flavors vary, but they all have 15 grams of Protein and 0-4 grams of carbs. These drinks have been extremely useful for me in keeping a high protein intake without having to go nuts. I like the coconut and mixed berry, but all of them are at least decent.

I'm feeling 70% nervous 30% excited hahaha I'm not gunna lie part of me is wondering if I'm going to go through with it but for now I'm forcing positive thinking, talking to lots of people in the same boat as us, and pushing on as best as I can! How are you feeling? Yes I need to get my Multivitamins still! I am just as the hospital waiting room now, sure it's my last appointment before surgery so they'll be giving me a list of bits and bobs hopefully!

Surgery due January 17th 2018

p.s. if you are carb sensitive (and I am NOT - but lots of people are), I would stay away from cereal. At least while you're in the weight loss phase.
at one month out, you should be focusing on Protein and maybe some cooked vegetables

Yes , you just eat more small meals. Which makes it more easier to lose more weight. because now you're not overloading your body with food

Hi all!
Question- do the Protein Shakes count as Water intake? I’m supposed to get 60 Protein and 64 water right? I’m 5 days post op

Hello, new here, Had surgery December 13th.. lookin for a buddy!!

I feel like crying guys! What an amazing journey of discovering myself and learning how to love me again [emoji173]

A year a half ago was my RNY bypass date . July 29th - my new birthday ! Down 115 pounds and have never felt so wonderful . To this day I still do not touch sugar or foods that contain sugar , very low carb and mainly Protein and vegetables . There isn’t a day I regret my decision . I have run several marathons and will be training for 2 triathlons for 2018 . I’m not going to say has been easy but it has been a conscious lifestyle decision I choose to live on a daily basis . I started off a size 18 and now currently a 2. I work out 5 out of 7 days a week and miss it if I can’t ! For all of you starting this process , my words of wisdom to you ... follow your surgeons directions , life isn’t about cheating anymore and prove to yourself that you are worth this new life style !

That pain is the liquid getting stuck and waiting to enter your stomach. Smaller sips or more time between sips will help. Sitting really straight or standing may also help. It took me 3 hrs to drink a Protein Shake yesterday.... Hopefully it gets easier when the swelling goes down!

I’m feeling better everyday..... always looking forward to tomorrow.... still a sipping machine. I had some clear Protein today... feeling less hungry.. stronger.... How are you doing!?? [emoji4][emoji4]

Get a person... a best-friend... a boyfriend.. a mom... educate them on the process. What your goals are each week. What help you may need from them.. babysitter, laundry help... ect. The more support the better... I’m 4 days post op and couldn’t imagine this experience without the help I’ve received!!
