Other than the pulmonary embolism I have developed, I have felt great. I can eat practically anything, just very small portions. I drink plenty of fluids, but must admit I do struggle to get in all my Protein. I will do better :-)

Pre-op weight 314

Day of surgery 295

Current 269

6 weeks out today, so that is 27 pounds down, and 45 total. Never lost that much before so quickly!

Not sure if I can say I would do it again since I have blood clot issues now related to the surgery, but I am thrilled with my results. I'm sure once the clots resolve and I lose even more weight, I will say, "you betcha!" When asked if I would do it again.

Focusing on: Daily walking! Not eating too much! Separating food from liquid. Thankfully no complications. I just need to keep on planning and stay on the plan!

I'm 7 wks out today and down 53 lbs, 37 since surgery. I've been stalling for two weeks now. I joined a gym however haven't been yet as I have Planar Fasiitis and my feet are taped up. I go back to the dr Friday and hopefully the tape will work. I went and bought a few outfits that actually fit and aren't baggy and now I feel fat again. :(.

I had that too. When I first started walking it got worse but as I lost weight and kept walking its been great. I've had no problems and this was before surgery.

Invest in great sneakers. I used to go cheap but now I pay $90-120 for New Balances every year. It's worth it to never get those shots again.

Was sleeved Oct 31st and I am miserable. I have the worst heartburn 24/7 and any little thing I try to eat sits in the pit of my stomach once it passes through my esophagus which never seems to go smoothly. I end up vomiting and left with an aching belly...What the hell is going on? I want my other part of my stomach back, this is miserable....please tell me it will not be like this forever!! I went all day today without eating because it scares me to do so.....

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
