Hi my name is Joe Ganino. I had RNY surgery in March 2018. In August I started riding a bike everyday. I now do 100 miles a week, so I spend a lot of energy exercising. Keep that in mind. My heaviest weight was 394, I currently weight 210. I average 1000 calories a day. I don’t eat red meat, breads, pastas, crackers, chips, popcorn, grapes, raisins, fried, fatty or sugary foods of any kind per my Surgeon. My daily goal is 1000 and 100 grams of Protein. Last Saturday I road 51 miles at the Tour de Palm Springs in one day. I did not eat anymore or less. I burned 3100 calories on that one ride. I hope this helps. Also I log everything I eat on my fitness pal every single day.

I'm down 25 last time I weighed )a day ago, I think). Since surgery was a Wednesday, I'll be weighing tomorrow. We shall see!

Hello!
I also had my surgery on the 26th. So far I’ve been feeling ok. The gas pain was pretty bad but other than that it was just a matter of being tired. Today I drove for the first time and I feel great. I’ve decided to only weigh my self every Wednesday so I can track weekly process. With that being said after week 1 I had lost 18.2lbs. My eyes almost fell out of my head!
I am craving different things like cheese and savory foods. But it’s not a hunger issue, it’s all in my head, so it will take some time for me to fight the bad habit of eating when bored or feeling blah.

Well, it’s been 4 weeks since our surgeries. So far I’ve lost 25.5lbs and I’m super excited about it.
I’m still struggling with my fluids and learning how to eat slowly.
How’s everyone else doing???

Doing good here and trying to navigate the soft food phase. Seemed so much easier in liquid phase as I didn’t have to think about what to eat as it was the same every day. I don’t seem to be able to eat over 1/8th a cup of anything. Made a scrambled egg today with some bell peppers & onions and chicken sausage crumbles. I was only able to eat half and my food got really cold as I had to eat so slow. My weight is at a stall for about week but reading other post it seems this is to be expected. Sleeved Dec 26 - lost 28 lbs overall.

Trying later...

I had my surgery with him 12/26, only good things in my end.
I love his bedside manner, the whole team has been great so far.

Yesterday was my one monthiversary. I was down 26 pounds at surgery and have lost 42 in the first month since! Unbelievable! 68 total pounds and that's through the Holidays! Just had to share and hope all of my fellow December sleevers are doing great in recovery and in the beginning of their new journey.
