My advice would be to always think “Protein first.” Avoid sugars and carbs as much as possible.

I was sleeved on 12/18 and in a client’s office on 12/27. I had no pain at that point but did feel rather week. If I could go back, I would have taken a full two weeks off.

Was at my Doc last week and was told that they would like to see me get to 230 lbs and maintain. I realize that 230 is a large number but I’m 6’5” and a former Football player and I’ll always be a big guy. I am just north of 250 now. If I can get under 250 and stay under that number for the rest of my Life, I’ll be happy.

How's everything going December Sleevers?

Hello!
Glad to see everyone is doing great! I'm down around 65lbs so far

I am in sales and I go to restaurants with clients all the time. I do get sick of hearing “what....didn’t you like your food? ” I just tell people that I had a lot of weight to lose so I am working on Portion Control.

90 lbs (including the 29 lbs lost on pre op diet) at 4 Months. I’m sure I’ll begin to slow here soon but it’s been rapid so far.

Would do it again in a heartbeat. Best decision I have ever made for my health

I am six months out and can eat more than just last month but i started working out pretty heavily which can stimulate appetite also
It is highly unlikely that it has stretched (ask for diagnostics if really worried) most likely the swelling from surgery is gone which leaves more room for food. Some one please correct me if i am wrong...
Also beware of slider foods with offer no resistance in the new stomach which leaves you hungrier quicker. They can also lead to higher than expected kcal counts . For me its yogurt nuts and seeds. Seemingly healthy right except 28-30g of nuts are 160-190 kcals!

One year out here. You will notice you can increasingly eat more, but if you get the Protein first and then whatever side, you should get the full signal and be able to stop.
My first few months I was kind of terrified because I could eat so little. But now I’m a happy medium.
Tonight i went to sushi and had 3 pieces of wife’s roll and 5 slices of sashimi and feel just right.
