Sleeved 10/16 5'3" starting weight was 213 day of surgery, currently at 165. I also need to find ways to incorporate more Protein and drink more Water. My hair is falling out like crazy, that started about 3 to 4 weeks ago although it does seem to be slowing down a lil bit. My Multivitamin also makes me nauseous so I make sure to take it right before I fall asleep so I sleep it off at night. How's everyone else currently?

Shoot me a message & I will send you a sample 3 week lifting plan!

Kat2013 I was sleeved October 2020, down 50 lbs to date but I seriously need to do something to tone my body and build muscle. I have no clue where to start. Would you be willing to help a sister out lol. Maybe share a beginners workout routine. You look AMAZING!

My surgeon insists on Isolate Protein. Says it’s the best. Any comments? It’s a bit harder to find but GNC has Isopure. Delicious too.

ditto on Fairlife and GENEPRO. I also found that premier hasn't set as well with me post surgery, but Fairlife has been easy to get down and Genepro is easy to mix into anything (just keep the temp below 140) to bring the Protein up.
I also like the BariatricPal cream of chicken and cream of mushroom Soups. I doctor them up with no salt seasoning and mushroom salt (you can find it at any Asian market and it's amazing) then strain to make sure there are no bits of herb before drinking.

I've had good luck with the Fairlife Core Power and Fairlife Nutrition Plan shakes. I also really like the Dymatize and Optimum Nutrition Protein powders.

Hi! You had your surgery a month before mine!
I get GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder on Amazon. It's 30 grams of protein and just 50 calories. You can put it in a Gatorade Zero shake it up and have your 30 grams of protein. I'll mix it with milk, almond milk, coconut milk etc first and then pour it in my coffee as a Creamer. I do green smoothies with Water or milk, scoop of protein, frozen fruit, spinach and kale add a little sugar substitute if needed and blend up in the blender! Lots of easy things you can do with it! Nice thing is it has no flavor and will take on the flavor of whatever you add it too. Good luck getting your protein in!

I had a RNY bypass in late October. My surgery weight was 214 lbs (down from my starting weight of 231 lbs) and I am now 181 lbs, so I've lost 33 lbs. About the same as you! Of course I'd rather have lost more weight, but I think that's a good amount for just over 2 months.

I was very upset at first, when I got reaction from my family about my weight loss. I quickly realized they felt left behind, but who's fault is that? I have been wanting to share my surgery and weight loss with others, but I am 100% sure I will get the same reaction, so I haven't said anything. And I'm not sure when I will smh......... This has been the best early Christmas gift I could have ever given myself.

I had surgery on 10/15 starting weight was 230 current weight 192 but my weight is really coming off so weird. I don’t loose weight for like 2 whole weeks one occasion it was 3 weeks then all of a sudden I’ll loose up to 7lbs in one week. So weird, but happy lost 38lbs so far and COUNTING!!!

I also started at 213 and am at 181 (was 183 yesterday lol), so we are about the same. Surgery was 10/19 and I am 5’3”

@MarvelGirl25 Thank you so much for sharing. I'm somewhat of a newbie, had sleeve 10/16. All of your food seriously makes me inspired. While I am going through the 1st 8 weeks taking each week as it comes has been somewhat difficult at times. I'm excited to be able to expand my options and try new recipes. Thank you 😊 💓

I’m coming up on solid foods in a couple days and I can’t believe it ! I’m glowing, I really did it.

it’s about to be 6 weeks next week.

I haven’t seen this number on the scale in years. I’m so happy I went through with this it’s worth it
