HELLO I AM DAY 6 I WOKE UP FEELING GOOD BUT AFTER MY SHOWER AND FIX MY Breakfast I FEEL SO SICK RIGHT NOW I CANT EVEN DRINK MY BREAKFAST, I HAD TO TAKE A NAUSEA PILL. LAST NIGHT WAS RUFF I MUST SAY. I THINK I STRESSED THE MAIN INSISION AND IT BOTHERED ME ALL NIGHT THE ACHE WENT ALL THE WAY TO MY BACK. YES I WAS SCARED BUT I KNEW I WOULD BE OK. I THINK I AM HAVING A REACTION TO TRADER JOES SPICY BLACK BEAN Soup, KEY WORD SPICY LOL.

I WAS ABLE TO GET MY 60 GRAMS OF PROTIEN IN AND I THINK THAT MADE ME SICK AS WELL I WAS FORCING IT BUT I COULDNT FINISH IT NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED LOL.

I HOPE EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD THE SURGERY IS DOING WELL. PLEASE SHARE YOUR PROGRESS SO WE CAN LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.

Protein powder.

I've tried lots of protein shakes. Some ok and some just too darn sweet. Yuck!!

I must say that I like the Body Fortress powder.

60 grams of protein for one scoop. It sort of taste like hot chocolate because I make it with a cup of warm water. Afterwards I mix black coffee with it and it so good!

I use to drink about 4 cups of coffee a day. I'm down to one cup now. So I guess you could say my cup of coffee is like protein mocha.

Give it a try!

I use body fortress also but mine only gives me 26g per scoop. I freeze it to for a frozen dessert treat or mix it in my coffee for a nice warm reward and coffee fix

Hi Girls! 2 months verticalversary and I have not lost ANY weight in over 2 weeks, what the heck? I mean, I have lost a total of 33 pounds, a few were preop. So I am happy about that. TRYING to eat right which for the most part I am. Just getting SUPER frustrated. Especially when people ask me "have you lost any more weight"? I wish they would shut up. Ok, I feel better now. How is everyone else doing with their weight loss? How far are you out and how much have you lost??

Today is 2 months out. Just left my post-op appt. I have lost 45lbs since surgery 9/24 and a total of 78 since beginning this journey. Bought my first pair of new pants, size 22 having started as size 28, I am thrilled. Funny thing is they look too small to me when I go to put them on, but they fit with room to spare! The road has not been the easiest, I had many bumps along the way. Surgery complications, anemia, lactose intolerance, nausea, days of dry heaves, and more tears shed in two weeks than anyone should shed in a lifetime. But I pushed through and am now reaping the rewards. For anyone struggling, know it gets better. Take it one day at a time!

I was two months out on the 12th. Down 31 pounds. Day of surgery I weighed 215 now at 184.

Kparker what was your surgery day weight?

I guess you and I are loosing about the same. Do you use MFP?

@teach5: Way to rock your sleeve! Great job! I was sleeved on 9/17 and am only down around 33-35#. But I will need to go shopping too very soon. The jeans are getting too baggy and the bras are getting "wrinkles" in them because they are getting too big. Whoop!!!!

@Greenfam- Yes I use MFP. The screen name is the same, look me up and add me! I was sleeved on Sept. 24th. I was at 250- 252. I lost about 10 pounds. So since the actual sleeve I am about 23-25 down. I cant remember the EXACT number but I know it was a couple of pounds off.

Has anyone experienced "stalls"?

I mix unflavored protein into my oatmeal and soups but mostly try to get my protein via food.... I was sleeved 9/4 started at 240 and I'm now 193... Soooo -47 lbs

I have had a few stalls. The longest was about two weeks that was then only broken by a one pound loss.

Stalls absolutely suck!!! I'm in one now - weighed the same last Monday as I did this Monday. Very discouraging - but I've read enough to know that this will pass - I just need to keep on doing what I know I need to do (protein, fluids, calories) and hopefully next week will show a loss........ Or else!!! LOL

Having trouble getting in the fluid. Working it.

I stalled for two weeks. It sucked but it broke eventually. Hang in there!

I am so happy that I have somewhere to go and talk to people who understand. I am so happy to have my sleeve and be a part of this with you all!
