Hi! I ate ALOT of soup!! Homemade too-- I also liked malt o meal as opposed to oatmeal for a change--

I would freeze a banana or 2 or other fruit all cut up in lil pieces lol and then I'd put it in the lil food processor and it was like ice-cream! Best if the fruit is very ripe!

I think I did Protein shakes my favs were GNC lean and glucerna

Also the lil laughing cow cheeses and scrambled eggs

Also if u like hot teas- herbal and plain that can help w hunger as well as plain chicken broth

Dont worry about messing up- I did great until a couple of days before and then I messed up but it was still ok

Hello, 3 weeks post-op today and feeling good! I had my sleeve done in El Paso at Las Palmas with Dr. Michael Lara. I live in ABQ:). I hope you all are well. I find this site more difficult to navigate now.

Tomorrow is my final Nutritionis visit before they submit the insurance forms to approve my surgery. I was told I had to lose 23 lbs by then and this morning I reached it!!! yay!. The day after tomorrow I meet with the Dr.....not sure what that is about but it is a counsutation. I'm working with Dr. Vuong at Lovelace Westside.

Also, I found a protien shake that is actually good for you. No chemicals, artificial anything, no dairy or nuts. The brand is called RAW and it isn't the best tasting but I added PB2 to it and it was fine. Low in calories too, but plenty of protien.

I feel good....I definitely struggle right now with getting in my Protein and nutrients, but I assume it will get easier as time goes by. It still doesn't seem real.

Hi ladies!! Just came across this thread. Love that there's a New Mexico group here. I had my VSG at Forrest Park Medical in Dallas on May 7 2014. Almost a year now. I was born and raised here in big city of Carlsbad. Look forward to reading more awesome posts from you all.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
