I like a good beer from time to time but I think for me Im gong to get down to the weight i need to be at.Then if I am eating good and working out everyday then a beer or small glass of wine before bed would be ok.Just need to keep in check as not to get out of hand and start regaining.I know someone who did good for 4.5 years after vsg then the last year has been drinking a case of beer and a bottle of wisky a week and has put 70 lbs back on and he knows thats the problem .

I was 492 on October 2 2018 and today I just weighed 5 min ago and Im 314 so minus 178 so far.I did the sleeve and no trouble feeling hungry and can eat anything I want but still get full very quick if I eat the proper foods.Protein first the non starchy vegetable and if I have room then fruit .You will have to work at this it is not a majic pill .I can eat bad things and eat more of them like ice cream,chips, ect cause they are easy and soft but when you eat dense Protein I get full quick.Just do your resurch and listen to your doctors .

I do scramble or fried but runny yolk when fried.I have always loved eggs so it would really suck not to be able to eat them.

I am almost 5 weeks post opp and I have been told be my sugeon and nutritionist no starchy carbs at all for at least 3 months preferably never.I just had smokey bones baby back ribs last night and it was tender(4oz).I at scrambled and fried eggs, meat balls,turkey in gravy,deli turkey,egg salad, baked fish,garlic shrip,scalaps.I think when i try steak it will be a 6 oz rib eye and get 2 meals from it.

I still have a hard time getting my Fluid in basically because i forget to sip all the timeand if you go a hour here and there and bace here and dont sip all the time its impossible to catch up so .sip,sip,sip

If you do it monthly it will be cool to see them all side by side in a row in a year

Well I think it will matter how heavy you start and how muck you expect to loose.In my case I started at 492 at 6 feet tall and I have lost 60 lbs so far and I am likeyou I cant tell a difference in pics but I notice other ways like you.I would say what ever youdo take the pics with the same exact clothes on with the same position and background weather it be monthly or a certain amount of pounds.

I was the19th late in the day and still having trouble with Fluid intake.I think i am doing about 50 oz a day.I sure hope it gets a little,lot more easy

im 5 days post and same thing scar left side above belly button.Mine hurts only when i stand up but this morning it seemed a little better.My instructions say just look fot any redness,drainage,foul smell,fever.But I saw somewhere that the left incision is where they take your stomach out.

Well lets be honest most of us on here did not eat healthy before surgery and should have been taking some sort of Vitamin

I seem to have a lot of gas pain.every time I take a sip of Water I have a pain in my upper chest

I had my sleeve Monday and when i stand up from a seated position i hurt from my left incision

Ya it sucks I was 19th around 5 pm or so.I came home Tuesday 20th around 8 pm.I have been having trouble getting my Water in.I am doing better day by day.Today I should be t at least 50 oz.So it is getting better.I was prepared to be miserable first 2 weeks though.I Was calling around like crazy today trying to find a urgent care that would do IV drip so I dont have to spend crazy mny at emergency room just for fluids.I found one so at least if I get to a point where i think i need it I can go.

I wish good luck to my fellow November 19th sleevers.Im due at hospital at 3:30pm.

well tomorrow is the day I have to be at the hospital at 3:30 pm.I was hopeing for a morning surgery so I wouldnt have so much time to think about it.Im down almost 40 lbs since my first meeting with the surgeon on October 2nd so I think that is pretty good.I am having trouble with allergys so eyes are itchy and im sneezing but I got some liquid benadril for when I get home.This is gonna be a intresing journey .Im gonna try to follow program as strict as possible to drop as much as possible in first year.Cant remamber wat it feels like to be in the low 200's

Thanks smurf .We are about the same in starting weight .I see you hd your surgery already how was first couple days?

Anyone get sick before surgery date and did they postpone or keep your date?I am scheduled for November 19th and I think I am getting sick.I thought it was just allergy but not sure .I guess i will see how I feel Monday and call the surgeon .

Well from a guys look at it.I want to start going to the gym and do as much as I can as soon as I am givin the ok to do so from my surgeon so Protein will be very important .I figure the gym will help a little with extra skin in the long term.Besides Im a carnivore by nature.

I saw the surgeon on Tuesday and down 31 lbs so happy with that .Im scheduled for the 19th and 1 week liquid for a week before but im starting early to make sure my liver is good and dropping a few more pounds would be nice.

I am self pay so I went in first time to meet surgeon on October 2 and he said we could do surgery in as little as 3 weeks.I chose November 19th and meet with the nutrionist on October 16th.I did great then on the 28th I told myself I had to go to Flanagins and have my last be bad day Oh and did I 20 wings,fircracker shrimp,tumble weed oinion straws,and 2 pitchers of beer.I was disappointed in myself cause it really caused me to stop loosing weight and show a gain on the scale.I was back on track the next day and down 21 pounds .My surgeon says 1 week liquid only but I think Im going to do almost 2.I meet with him this Tuesday for my pre opp so we will see what he says.They say the more you loose before surgery the better chances you wont have any complication and I want everything to run as it should post opp.SO SHOULD EVERONE ELSE ON HERE SO HAVE A LAST BAD DAY OR MEAL THEN MUSTER UP SOME WILL POWER AND DO AS YOUR SURGEON AND NUTRITIONIST SAYS THEY DO THIS ALL THE TIME AND KNOW WHATS BEST.good luck to everyone .
