Sleeved on 1/16 and already down ~10 lbs. Like everyone else I am ready to eat something besides protein drinks and broth but I am a little afraid of how food will feel sitting in my new stomach- I hope I still enjoy eating. Also' date=' has anybody had intense hunger pains? I get so hungry and my hunger pains can get painful[/quote']

Yes I was sleeved on 1/23 and get hunger pains like crazy! I am getting 43g of protein, all my liquids and my aloted soft foods ( 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt and 2 Tablespoons of strained cream soup). But I will still feel hungry. Hoping that goes away soon.

Wow, love these numbers. I was sleeves yesterday and I looking forward to hitting close to those numbers. I did lose 6 lbs on the 9 day pre-op diet

Date of surgery 1/16- exactly two weeks ago.

Weight 200, date of Surgery 190, Current 178.

The weight loss is slow and steady compared to fast losers, but not complaining! So ecstatic coz I don't ever remembering losing this much at all! It will just get better down the road, if only I can finish 64oz of fluids (work in progress).

the inches are coming off -- super happy! :)

I was sleeved on Jan 21st. Weight day of surgery was 232 and this morning I'm at 225, only 7 pounds lost. Wish I had bigger numbers like all of you. Maybe I'm not getting in enough protein or water.

Post-op appointment today official loss of 15lbs since surgery day and I get to start solid foods to day YAY! I can't wait to chew again

You look great!! Congrats on the weight loss so far.

Are you still struggling to get in 64oz a day? I am not even back to solids yet (1/24/13) surgery date and I can't get close it 64 Oz a day of all intake.

Thanks! I am still working on getting 64oz. I am still on stage II foods. My staple food is greek yogurt mixed with cottage cheese, soups, broth, and Isopure Zero Carb.

If I eat 2oz, then I really have to wait to drink for 30 mins, otherwise I can feel pressure going down my stomach. Working on increasing my fluid intake, and it's slow but getting better. If i sip too much it feels weird, so it's a learning process coz I sometimes forget and gulp too much and then i feel sick. I am back to work so it's even more challenging, but I really try to make a conscious effort to drink. Two weeks ago, I could only drink 1oz/hr, but as you heal and the swelling goes down, IT WILL GET better...and I was in the same boat as you, and many people posted they are father out than us and it's a challenge too for many. Just keep trying :) HAve a speedy recovery!

So I'm out almost 7 days. My dr had me on full protein 2 weeks before. Starting day of surgery (after of course) I was in pure liquids. Soup, Popsicles and water. 3 days later I was bring my protein back in.

I can't even get a full 8 oz shake in for the whole day and my water. It's crazy and when I'm so thirsty I have tried drinking water like before. That's a joke!!

I have also noticed if I sip to fast I get a really weird feeling in my stomach. It's not a full sensation but its weird.

I've heard a lot of people talk about Isopure. What is this?

Went in for my 2 week post op was sleeved the 17th. U started at 340, surgery date was 337 and today I am 319.8. I was cleared for soft food and exercise with no restrictions. Dr also said if I wanted to add in some solids he was ok with it as long as I went slow and listened to my body.

Isopure is what I use if you can drink a 12 oz shake in a day it's 50 grams of protien

When I started the WLS program I was 267, at surgery on 1/3/13 I was 241, today I am 225. I weigh myself tomorrow, so i'm hoping to be down a few more pounds but since surgery I've lost 16 pounds. All together i've lost 42 pounds.
