Random bruising
Anyone else experience this? I walked 3 miles this AM. Notice this. Not sure when it appeared. Doesn’t hurt, even to touch. Don’t remember any injury to it. Im a little over a month out of a sleeve and am otherwise doing great

Protein
sugar free pudding with Fairlife milk has been a godsend to me. also Prodiet soup mixes (15G)

Had surgery 6/24. Lost 21 pounds so far - can someone tell me how long it took to lose your weight?
I had surgery the same day as you (sleeve). As of today I have lost about 25lbs. i expect that will slow down some as I add foods back in, but i feel like I can lose 15lbs a month till I get to my goal weight Good luck

light headed
Tomorrow will be my two week out date and everything has seemed to go very well. I'm at about 600 calories a day and close to meeting my protein (60) and fluid (64oz) goals. I feel better everyday and have increased activity The last 3/4 days i have experience lightheadedness every time i get up from lying down. i don't ever feel like I'm going to pass out but it is a bit unnerving. Any thoughts?

One week update
Got the sleeve 7 days ago Down 12lbs. Feeling good Can't do more than 1 shake a day. Getting closer to 64 oz of fluid a day on the water side. Can usually sit down once a day and do 20z in an hour protein has been between 40-60g. Broke the 500cal mark yesterday. Feeling pretty good- got 6-7000 steps each of the last two days. Less and less pain everyday. I have moderate concerns that i am doing too much too fast. I'm also bored out of my skull, so there's that. Follow up appointment Wednesday

First post op milestone
Got sleeved Monday Today I woke up at 299.8- first time under 3 bills in a long time. First attempt at a protein shake this am and see how it goes. Being under 300lbs doesn't seem like much of a victory in the long run, but it is a start

Got done yesterday
I got to come home today I ate 6 oz of broth before i left hospital. Working toward liquid and protein goal today. I took a little nap, but am gonna polish this 20oz water bottle in about an hour. Too fast? 64oz of fluids and 60g of protein seems like a hefty goal

Work/Social eating
Hey guys I'm scheduled for a sleeve 6/24. I'm 5 days into pre op diet and it has been rough, but going ok. It has given me confidence because I'm eating so little right now and feeling ok. I could use some help with work meals. I am frequently in situations where i meet clients, co workers, etc... for lunch, or for drinks. How do you guys handle this? Not necessarily during pre/post op stage, but more from a sustainable/ long term angle Thanks
