Lovin my sleeve! I am one month out and have lost 20 lbs as of a few days ago. I only weigh myself on Mondays so I may have lost a few more lbs since then. If I had any tips to give it would be to make sure you are getting as close to your goal for liquids and Protein as you can each day as well as moving as much as possible! It will keep you energized along with help in the weight coming off!!! I still have a long ways to go but I am very satisfied with my progress so far. I started in size 24 pants that fit a lil tight and a size 2-3x shirt,I'm now in size 20 pants that fit perfect and a size XL shirt!!!! =))) My goal for the next 30 days is to lose at least another 20 lbs. Here are a couple before and after pics,I do still have alot to lose,it's only been a month since surgery. :/

Are you serious ? I can see the difference in the last pictures!! You are doing awesome Keep it up!! Looking good lady

WOW!!! It's amazing what a difference 20# can make! You look great!!

WOW! Keep up the good work! Could you tell me about how many grams of protein you get everyday on average? And water? I struggle to get in 50 grams.

You are doing awesome!! 20 # does make a big difference. Congrats!

Thank you all so much! I musta been retaining ALOT of fluid in the before pics(I ate alot of sodium foods before,blekkk :/) bc I looked so swollen! No wonder I was miserable! I feel so much lighter already and I feel great!

WOW! Keep up the good work! Could you tell me about how many grams of Protein you get everyday on average? And Water? I struggle to get in 50 grams.

Thank you! I am averaging about 40-60 grams of protein a day,I seriously need to work on upping it but I try as hard as I can. You need between 60-80 grams,some docs even say 100! I am averaging anywhere between 20 ounces(on a bad or very busy day) and 60 ounces of liquids a day. You need at least 64 ounces so I need to up that too. It requires constant sipping. It is do-able,I just think our sleeves take a while to adjust and for all of the swelling to go down completely. I think this next month I will be able to reach my liquid and protein goals more easily. =) I do feel like I would have maybe lost more in my first month if I would have consumed more liquids and protein,but 20 lbs is still awesome so I'll def take that! Oh,one good trick to getting some of your liquids AND Proteins in at the same time is to get a 20 oz bottle full of water,add a thing of lemonade crystal light to it,then add a whole packet (or scoop if you bought a whole container) of strawberry Protein powder. Makes the most refreshing strawberry lemonade drink and if you finish the whole thing that's 20 ozs of water(1/3 of your Fluid intake for the day) and 20 grams of protein! I use the Strawberry Sorbet from powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury,love love love it!

Huge difference in the pics! Well done- you must be so excited!

You are doing an amazing job!! I can definitely see the difference that 20 pounds makes, too!! Love the recipe for getting in some Water and Protein together!
