I was sleeved 3/30 so I am 6 weeks out. Every day is pretty much the same for me...start the day with a Protein shake. Then I eat sliced turkey, greek yogurt, string cheese, and chicken or fish for the rest of my meals. I try my best to drink enough Water. I started going to the gym last week.

For confessions....we went to disneyland yesterday and I had a strawberry/pineapple/yogurt smoothie which made me feel pretty sick. At the end of the day I had a few sips of my mother's strawberry milkshake...that tasted very good! On cinco de mayo I had a couple of chips with guacamole and felt quite quilty afterwards. I have had a few of my daughter's crackers/dry Cereal on 3 different occasions but I'm trying to limit the carbs the best I can!

Sleeved 4/4 down 29lbs I have a Protein shake every morning and for lunch a small container of cottage cheese dinner either chicken turkey breast or imitation crab with light mayo I have not.tried many foods even though I can try anything now I have another Protein Shake at night I try to get all my Water in the only carbs I have had is a tablespoon of mashed pot. I have not had any cravings for anything

3/27 down 42 # incl 13 preop. I have totally lost my appetite. I have to make myself eat. Today I had a couple mouthfuls of oatmeal cooked in milk and 1.5 crab cakes. My hubby baked some rolls for church and I did have 1/2 of a small one. My protein shake is mixed and waiting for me so I will have that and maybe another one before bed . I worked today and one of my patients offered me Sees chocolate, I refused, she insisted and I took a chewy one, took one nibble and did not enjoy it. Preop I would have eaten the entire box. My stomach stays full for a long time whether I eat or drink.

Sleeved on 4/24 and now on purees foods but able to eat 2-4 oz at a time. I usully have a Protein shake for Breakfast, pureed chicken for lunch, another Protein Shake around mid-afternoon and then either grilled fish or pureed chicken for dinner. Getting my Water.in but.must be super diligent about it. I've lost 25 lbs post op and now in a stall.

Confessions: I ate some fried chicken today and I liked it but then regretted it. First time I actually felt full and it was nausiating. I'll stick to my 2-4 oz purees until I hit the soft food stage in another week.

Sleeved March 1 starting weight was 290 surgery weight was 273 and now I am down a total of 52# at 238. Wow! All my previous medical issues are gone!! Can eat just about anything now and I love how the sleeve forces you to have portion control. No more overeating like I use to.

How often are you eating and how much.? Sleeved 3/16 eat up to 1000 daily. Was only doing like 500 and wasn't losing. Upped my calories and started losing. I see some of you talk about vomiting and overrating. Sometimes I think I eat a bunch, but never feel that way. Right now I had 3 strawberries and 6 caramel rice cakes and I am stuffed. Is this too much. ? Two hours before I had some sardines and 2 crackers and 1/8c peanuts. I think it's a lot, but then again it's really not

Sleeved 3/7. Started at 190lbs. As of today, I'm down to 159lbs. The scale just started moving again after a month stall. Yesterday I had 2 chips of fajita nachos and a small slice of cake while attending a baby shower.

My presurgical weight 284 I am now 249. I am on a full diet with no restrictions. I feel great. I eat about 800 calories a day. I don't deprive myself. Yesterday I had 1/4 of a cup cake. Today I tried to eat a steak taco that I bought from a vendor and took 2 bites and couldn't continue. That taco really messed up my stomach.

Sleeved 4-10 lost 28 pounds. I am feeling like I have had surg for nothing! I have not lost anything else! Dying here.

Sleeved on 4/30 and am on the pureed diet for 2 weeks. Today I had oatmeal for breakfast, protein shake, lunch was a few bites of hummus and cottage cheese, another protein shake and dinner was some tofu. I get full after after 6 or 7 smallbites. Actually I feel kind of full all the time. I have to work to get the protein shakes inbetween my meals so I can get the required protein in. I am able to do it but with the vitamin supplements and meds (anti reflux, anti gallstone, allergy) I actually have to make a schedule to make sure I get everything in. No cheating yet. I am too scared of getting sick so I am doing everything by the book so far. I will be glad when I can have something like a piece of toast though. :) You really appreciate food when you can only eat certain things.
