I am 5 1/5 months out. I have lost 68 lbs. I can eat anything. I eat about a cup at a time. My goal is to lose about another 20 more.

I was sleeved on July 31st. Since my pre-op appointment I've lost about 80 Lbs. I can't eat much. Maybe 1/2 cup at a time, maybe 2oz if it's meat. I struggle to get my Water in but make sure I get my Protein in.

I am 5 1/2 months out. I am down 69 pounds. I can eat anything except--believe it or not--salads. I can eat more than what I think I should be able to at this point--probably an entire cup. I have no problems getting all my fluids in now. I have slowed way down on my weight loss. I am now at about a pound a week. I don't exercise like I should, so I am gearing that up.

I am almost 5 1/2 months out and have lost 57lbs since surgery and 82lbs since pre-op. I can eat anything and eat about a cup at each meal. I have been able to get in all Protein and liquid easily since the beginning. I loose about 1.5 pounds a week now. I do exercise 1 hour 3 days a week (weight lift and cardio) but am having pain in my upper legs so doctor and chiropractor said to take last week off and I will do the same this week, did walk 2 1/2 miles today because the lack of exercise scares me. I am a pretty lax sleever and let myself eat all foods just in moderation making sure I get enough protien.

I'm noticing a increase in what I'm able to eat now and wondering if any of you have noticed a change around this time also?

I have noticed an increase as well. I measure everything. It's kind of scary.

I was sleeved on Aug 30, making me 4.5 months out... Ive lost 71 lbs... have 70 more to go to my goal....

Im eating a Protein shake for Breakfast.... tuna or chicken salad ( about 4 ounces) for lunch with some sort of green veggie ( a few bites) ...

dinner, usually I eyeball a size matching half my fist size of whatever meat I cook and 2 or 3 table spooons of a veggie...

I drink loads of Water all day...

I usally have an Isopure clear Protein Drink that I mix with Water that I sip on all day as well.... at the end of the day, I usually go to the gym and drink the last half of that Isopure ( mostly because its ice cold and I need something cool after a workout)

I usually dont have Snacks...but if I do its usually a piece of cheddar cheese

havent noticed because Im too scared to try... I still have problems holding down denser Proteins like chicken or turkey.... so Im surely not going to try to see if I can now eat 6 ounes instead of 4.. Im sick of making out with my toilet bowl

I was sleeved July 13th and my typical day looks like this:

Breakfast: Protein shake

Snack: 100 Calorie Greek Yogurt

Lunch: String cheese and a Piece of fruit or about a half cup of chili or another yogurt and the string cheese

Dinner: about 3 oz. of grilled chicken and half of a Green Giant Just for one veggie

However there are days that I can eat way more. Especially around a certain time of the month.

I am a teacher so I am having trouble getting in my fluids but I usually get in at 3 bottles of Water and about half an Isopure clear Protein. I also exercise at least 3 times a week. My minimum workout is 3 hours of Power Yoga which can burn almost 300 calories an hour.

I am losing very slowly now. I am actually scared that I won't make my ultimate goal. Although I will be satisfied about 15 lbs before what my ticker says.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
