gully90

Thank you! I am able to do cardio only. But it’s hard because I get tired so quick.

I’m 5’2 and my highest weight was 199 which was on 5/30/18. Surgery Weight was 192 on 6/6/18 and my current weight is 176. I’m almost 3 weeks post surgery. Goal weight is 140. I had the gastric sleeve!

That’s something to look forward too!!

That’s awesome! I’ve lost a total since preop of 23. But a total of 16 since surgery!! Im 176 today but my goal is also 140.

I am going to be hopeful that I can eat as near as much as you!

My goal is a total of 30 lbs loss in 1 month! Or a total of 23 post op loss in one month!

GNC Lean Bars 15g of protein and only 170-180 calories

I can’t tolerate the shakes, unflavored powder nor the clear protein water anymore since surgery. I am certain I haven’t gotten enough protein in these 2.5 weeks post op. I’m just waiting until the 28th so I can be of soft foods and get protein that way.

I start soft foods on the 28th at 3 weeks post op. I’ve attempted a few soft foods and noticed after 2-3 bites I’m pretty much stuffed lol. Just curious to know at what point after surgery were you able to tolerate more than a few bites to eat without stomach aches, gas or anything?

Lol I’m right there with you!! I would risk it all

Welcome to the other side lol

Burger King

Lol yea guess so!!

That’s awesome ?

Like as in weight loss or like with the liquids? As far as weight loss 7-8 in the first week post op. And liquids were rough until about day 9.

Thank you!!

Had my two week post op appointment today! I’m 21 lbs down ? making me 178!! I’m cleared to workout minus heavy lifting and abs!! I have one more week on liquids and then I can fully enjoy soft foods!! I tolerate water really well. Actually nothing really makes feel bad. Energy is back and my incisions are almost non visible!!! Only 38 lbs left until I’m at my goal!!!

I went once in 2 weeks. Lots of passing gas but not actual bowel movements. I guess it don’t have much to release lol but my 2 week post op is today so I’ll ask

I believe all of those are on my list!!! I’m actually excited to get closer to that stage lol

I have this one and it is spot on

I make two weeks post op tomorrow and I experimented with refried beans yesterday and chili on Saturday (literally like 6 tiny bites) because even with my vitamins my energy was low. I never feel Hungry and I get in at least 40 oz of liquid. I’ve lost 20 lbs since 4 days pre op. With a total 13.4 post op! I feel fine and have more energy! I will be telling my doctor on Wednesday at my two week check up. But I wouldn’t go overboard.

Mine are not truly visible but itch sometimes lol I need to find something to use!

My husband and family are from southern Louisiana and I’m a graduate of THE Southern University Law Center lol so I feel like it’s home

I will be starting soft foods in a bit and want to have some recipes or suggestions in mine. My food doesn’t have to be puréed.

I do truly believe that many people get the procedure due to wanting to get someone to notice or think that with this surgery their insecurities will be gone. Society has already made it a trend that smaller is best, instead of healthy is best. So that I believe is where people on here begin to obsess over the rate of weight loss even as little as 5-6 days out. This surgery WILL NOT...I repeat WILL NOT fix mental health issues. And recognizing depression or other mental struggles early in the process, I believe in the end will enhance the weight loss long term. Stress and other mental factors can cause weight gain, ultimately leaving the sleeve ineffective. I personally don’t think that all know they are suffering mentally until after the surgery. So a post op therapist should be something to consider.
