Yes. I have so much energy.

I has my sleeve surgery on 1/15. Down 61 lbs.

Congrats!

I haven't experienced it but I am going in for a drastic cut tomorrow just to help my hair. I plan on just below the shoulders so its about a 6" cut since I've just been growing it

I don't think anyone knows I've lost 50+ lbs total or 40+ lbs since surgery. I feel my clothes fitting so much better. I have more energy. I feel better. It will be interesting to see how much I have to lose for the people that see me every day to notice.

Surgery was 1/15/19. I find I do get hungry but hard to know if it's my eyes or my stomach. I'm getting in my fluids and protein. I'm down 40 lbs so far. My knees & back hurt much less. Slow and steady wins the race so I'm just trudging along. I can say that I am following my food plan to the t. Although I have eaten 2 French fries but that's it. I hope all my January friends are doing good.

I was served on 1/15 also. How are you doing so far?

You will be sore for a bit. O had surgery on 1/15/19 and back to my desk job on 1/21/19. Even though it's a desk job, it forced me to get up and walk around. Which I needed. I'm just starting feeling hungry. I'm averaging about 800 calories a day and about 80 grams of protein.

My nutritionist ok'd it for me

Water

Water

Quaker lower sugar maple & brown sugar

I did not puree. I chewed and chewed and chewed. I call it chewing beyond any recognition of flavor lol

I will be 3 weeks tomorrow. I've eaten tuna fish in the packets, string cheese, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, apple sauce, chicken salad

How are all January sleevers doing? I'm 2.5 weeks post op. Just trying to get in my water and protein. It can sometimes be a battle.

Good luck to you!!

What do you all use to track calories, protein, water? I can't find an app I like or that has what I need. I have an android.

I felt the same way. I wanted to lick it. I just tried to ignore it and eventually the burger was eaten by him and gone. Everything he makes or buys for dinner smells so good. Right now it's in my head but today I felt me stomach growl for the first time since surgery on the 15th. Monday I start puree/soft. I hope it helps to satisfy my head hunger

Had my follow up visit. Down 14 lbs since surgery on the 15th

First night was rough. I was soooooo thirsty and not allowed to drink more than 2 oz in 1 hour. Each day I got better. Today was my first day back at work. I'm still on clear which sucks. I was just allowed to try 1 oz of protein shake to see how it goes. I've done 2 oz and so far so good. It was nice to get a different flavor. I'm sick of sweet sugar free jello and ice pops. Due to the holiday today, my follow up dr appt was moved to Wednesday. At that point I will be able to move to the next food phase which I'm excited about. I've been in clear over a week. You will do great, dont worry. I tried my hardest not to he nervous but at the hospital before surgery my BP was 188/95. Thankfully its gone down. Please try to sleep when you are tired so that you will have the energy to walk walk walk .

Good luck to all having surgery. I'll be one week out tomorrow. Feel better everyday

Almost a week out and my stomach still feels bloated

I hear ya! Food commercials and smelling food makes me want it but I dont think I'm even hungry.

Thank you

Right now I'm on clear. Need protein ideas. Premier protein clear is so sweet
