Glad to see your doing better, time will go by and before you know it you will be eating regular foods. I was sleeved on 4/23 and just now able to eat a 1/4 of a sandwich and have lost 60 pounds. Some things that I really enjoyed eating at your stage (and still do) were yoplait smoothies, Greek yogurt, Panera Soup (well blended), Herbox chicken brooth, and Bariatric Choice banana pudding (12 grams of Protein per serving) which was about 6oz. I also experimented with a Protein Powder that you mixed with Water (kind of like Kool aid mix) that was not too bad called nectar. I would also check out some of the Unjury protein products. Some of my fellow sleeves have rave reviews about it but I didn't try it. Also, Myoplex by EAS has a Protein Shake that had 42 grams of protein for 17oz. And I found that at my local grocery store and at The Vitamin Shoppe. Hope you have a good recovery and good luck. And just an FYI I would not trust a fart at this stage trust me!!!

Just had my sleeve done yesterday. All in all, I'm doing great. Just soreness on the left side but other than that no real pain.

Should get to go home today. Ready to take on the next phase of my journey.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

I had my surgery April 23rd of this year. So farive lost 80 lbs and I can now eat pretty much anything however only in small portions. But what I don't eat I put away and eat later. Down to a loose size 14 and Large shirt. I would not change anything and do not regret doing the surgery at all.

      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.
