Don't get me wrong, I'm happy!!! Just have seen people post that have lost 27 to 30 (starting weight similar to mine)in 2 wks vs 4. Just makes me question is something different? Maybe it's my age (many are younger that i see with those results) 'll take any loss tho. I know it's not a rapid process to the goal. :-)

Agree, for sure!

I found this article pretty interesting https://www.nutritionexpress.com/showarticle.aspx?articleid=787

I guess I'm very lucky to have not experienced all of the physical struggles with nausea and food rejection. Don't get me wrong, I'm super thankful and am pleased with my current weight loss! I just need to focus on my loss and noy compare. It really hits home when I see that my clothes are falling off! Going to have to purchase some new work clothes soon. I'd hate to be walking into work and find them down around my ankles!![emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Sorry. it's Dymatize PB Chocolate. The Isopure I enjoyed was Birthday Cake. Didn't care for Isopure Banana but was good muxed with the PB Choc!!!

Yes, absolutely, but there must be a difference in the protein processing and affect.... I cant imagine they would tell us this for no reason.

My doc and nut said to stay away from Milk Protein products and protein blends. Only use pure whey protein. I like Isopure PB Chocolate

I've read about people having food rejection, bad taste buds and nausea and thankfully I haven't experienced it. Tomorrow will be my one month surgiversary and I'm 27 lbs down since surgery and 52 lbs total lost since first appt with surgeon. I feel like I'm not losing like I should and keep telling myself not to compare, but I can't help but wonder if my sleeve isn't small enough. I did, however, find myself ill the other day because I ate a small sweet potato too fast. Bad habit from eating lunch at my desk. I'm 53 and determined to be 150lbs on my 5'8 frame by my 54th birthday Oct 2019 ....I just need to slow down my anxiousness and let the process work. Only 110 to go...

Also, I've lost 20lbs since surgery

I was sleeved 8/1. I started pureed on the 11th. Saw my surgeon yesterday. I told him in the Morning I scramble an egg with a tiny bit of cheese and then add 3 Small dinner spoons of Low fat cottage cheese . I eat half for Breakfast and then the other half at lunch. Throughout the day I'll have a few sugar free popsicles maybe one sugar free pudding and then in the evening if I'm hungry about 4 spoons of refried Beans. He told me I'm eating too much

It is normal to feel concerned. However, these operations have advanced so much that 1000's are performed weekly. Trust you surgeon and surgery team. They will take great care of you. This is the beginning of a healthier you! Be excited!!

Yes, just stomach thank goodness!

Hi all! 1 week post op, 10lbs down and started itching all over my stomach last night. Sent pics of incisions to PA this morning who said all looks great. Probably nerve endings healing. Anyone else experience this?
