Hang in there. It gets easier after a few days. I got thru the 2 weeks with no cheating by reminding myself that I was shrinking my liver to make my surgery safer. Hope that helps...

Thank you for sharing this. So much of the article resonated with me except his dismissal of WLS as giving up.

My program said no Gummy multivitamins since they don’t have Iron

Hi I was sleeved 8/20. I lost 10 lbs pre-op and 40 post-op. Religiously getting in Protein and fluids. Not as religious about exercise (3-4 times/week max). I am happy with my progress. Everyone is different. Hang in there and it will be worth it!

Happy to join this club!

I’m 18 weeks post bypass. For the first time in more years than I can remember- I am in onederland! I feel so much better now. More energy, easier to exercise, not as self conscious. I am thankful for this opportunity to lead a healthier life.

I’m 52, sleeved in August. Feel 10 years younger now that I’ve lost 65 lbs.

Tomato Soup (read the labels for a lower calorie one) or chicken broth. Unjury makes chicken flavored Protein Powder. That, mixed in chicken broth, got me through.

@BurBur this was so well said! Congrats on the amazing success you’ve had.

BEST FEELING EVER!!! CONGRATS!!!

Super excited and had to share with people who understand! I hit 199.7 lbs today. First time I’ve been under 200 lbs for at least 25 years (almost 1/2 my life). I was sleeved on Aug 20. I’ve got a ways to go but it’s really encouraging to see this progress!

Great article on the side effects of weight loss. Thanks for sharing! I started feeling cold all the time right after surgery and before significant weight loss. I didn’t understand why till I read this article—lower metabolic rate.

I don’t like plain Water any more. Drink mostly Gatorade Zero and Hint water.
