Very simple advice... Follow the rules!!

I do exactly what my surgeon and nutrition told me to do.

1 cup of food or 3oz Protein and 2oz veggies

2-3 times a day.. 1 Protein Shake on gym days.. And plenty of water!!

It is very hard in the beginning. Yes it does feel like the end of the world.. It does get discouraging.. But it does pay off!!

Your band is only going to work if you enable it to!

I had 2 fills.. And I'm at. 5ccs...

Exercise... I've been doing things like Zumba, playing soccer, and running after my 2 year old son all day. Lol

I'm staying away from weightlifting for now because I bulk up really fast so I try to do some cardio at least 2-3 times a week

Just under 6 weeks and I have lost 45 pounds since Pre-op diet. I have not really felt hunger or had a problem so far. Very grateful. I exercise 20-30 Min cardio every morning and then add weights at least 2x per week. Thanks for your sharing.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
