Ok so I’m down 30 lbs since surgery. Dietitian and surgeon said I’m doing well on the higher end of their expectations. I’m really happy to hear this!!

Omg thank you! This is crazy it becomes a plug and very painful to pass but once it passes it’s better the it happens again. I’m going to take your advice and continue to take the miralax and Metamucil fiber wafers on a daily basis. Thank you all…this part of post surgery sucks ass

I apologize but I don’t know how to reply directly to messages. My caloric intake ranges between 500-900 calories per day. I do about 40-45 minutes of cardio and the rest of the time I’m strength and weight training. Since this post I’m down another 2 pounds but struggling with constipation. Smh

I’m struggling with constipation since having surgery. Like it’s there but won’t come out. I then have to take miralax, Metamucil wafer thins and drink smooth move tea. Then I stress until I can actually get it out. Is there any way to avoid this? It’s very frustrating and depressing. I welcome any help.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. Though I’m following the instructions I wasn’t sure if I’m on track or not because 1. I’m 51 - peri menopausal- so I’m sure my harmones are everywhere 2. I know as you get older your metabolism slows down. I really appreciate the kind words and feedback. I will stay steady on my path.

I also drink about 1 protein drink a day to supplement a meal (30g of protein via Fairlife nutrition premade protein drinks).

I do not eat any carbs, everything is fat free and low fat. I just started incorporating veggies. I only eat 2-3oz of protein and 1 oz of veggies (green veggies - no potatoes).

Ok so I’ve been following the rule of 5% or less fat and carbs and zero sugar. Im intaking about 70-80 grams of protein and I workout daily for 1-3 hours with and without a personal trainer. My water intake fluctuates between 50-64 oz of water daily.

OMG I am 8 weeks post op and 22 pounds down and I’m so confused. Shouldn’t I have lost more weight by now? I’ve been exercising and working with a personal trainer everyday for the last 3 weeks. I’m really unsure if I’ve stalled or if the sleeve has failed or if I’m right on track. So frustrating. Please help.

Oh I’m super new. I think i just filled it out.
