Welcome! I'm in Arlington TX. I was banded April23rd (10 weeks yesterday) and as of today have shed 50 pounds.

Mushies can be tuna salad - chew chew chew & small bites. eggs and egg salad. ( I make my salads with low fat mayo, cant taste a difference, but I HATE fat free lol) They both will give you Protein. Also, I use Skillet Talapia from Gortons (classic or italian) It's very soft and you can chew it to mushie easily.

I have at least 1 Protein shake a day, usually Breakfast but that is up to you.

Another option is getting Unflavored Protein powder and mix it in SF pudding. I found it a tad gritty, but convinced myself it was graham cracker crust in a choco pudding pie lol Hey whatever works :)

Always focus on your Protein and be sure you get it all in. I use FitnessPal to keep track for me, it also counts your calories, but you can ignore th

The very best in your new life. hugssssssss

Sorry that was supposed to say too high in CARBS.

Hey Roni, thanks for all the great suggestions. I'm gonna use them.

I'm really focusing on the healing although I feel pretty good. I do have that one shooting pain from the back my doc says is normal surgery pain but that comes and goes and my pain killers help with that.

I need to remember to get in my Protein. Sometimes I forget to eat because I'm not hungry.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
