I was sleeved on May 23rd, down 73 pounds.

I have a daily struggle getting in my Protein, I can only drink so many shakes and food... I'm lucky to eat 2 oz without being very full.

Suggestions???

Hi and welcome. We were sleeved within a week of each other and I have also lost over 70 pounds. Isn't it wonderful?

I have a Protein shake blended with berries every morning, then cheese for a morning snack, I make and freeze the Emily bites lasagna 'cupcakes' and taco ones etc and take these for lunch. Or i have a small can of tuna.I usually have a small selection of nuts and seeds for an afternoon snack and sometimes some Biltong. For dinner I will have 60 to 80 grams of meat (chicken thigh, steak, lamb, minced beef, venison, fish) and try to have some vegetables.

I finish the day with my indugence, an oval tine light break. If I am out and about during the day I will often stop somewhere and have a small soy latte.

I do vary it a little bit but this is the basic formula. I meet my Protein targets.

I hope this helps.

I'm a little over a year out and I still usually start my day with a Protein bar, especially if I'm going to the gym. I use the Premier Protein Bars, which have 30 grams of Protein. I also eat a mini babybel before I take my Vitamins because Iron makes me sick to my stomach. Eatng something first helps. lunch and dinner are usually straight protein, chicken, beef or pork. My Snacks are evolving now into fruits and veggies because I know they need to be part of my diet. I have been meeting or exceeding my original protein goal (70g daily) since about a month post op. I have actually upped my protein goal in the last few weeks to 90g daily because I've increased my workouts.

You will find a way to get there. :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
