Anyone else notice after a long awaited BM you feel bad the rest of the day? My entire abdomen gets crampy and I feel overall crappy- no pun intended.... Tell me I'm not alone here.

Your not alone here. I still don't have normal bm. I feel really gassy throughout the day though.

Hi I just had my sleeve on 6\26. I am drinking Water (1 oz every 10 minutes) and drinking protien drinks. It only takes 3 drinks to reach protien goal but falls short of calories. What are you supplementing for calories?is the 1 oz at a time of water all my sleeve can tolerate?

You have a calorie goal that soon out? Do you mind me asking what it is? I'm getting at most 30g of Protein a day and 300 calories. I'm 5.5 weeks out

I am almost 6 weeks out and have no problem getting 60g of Protein and 600 calories. You should be getting at least 60g of protein! You should talk to your NUT. Try eggs, cheese sticks, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, canned tuna/chicken. Good luck!

My nut and dr said both are impossible on the drs diet this far out. I can eat 2oz 3x per day so even if that is chicken or beef it gets no where close to 60g. I'm not complaining though the weight is coming off lol

Edit: and to add I'm afraid of adding too many calories because 1200 pre op is what I ate daily for a few years and that's how I maintained so I dont wanna get back up there so soon

SW: 271 lbs.

CW: 249 lbs.

Sleeved on May 30th.

I've definitely lost inches and my face is a lot skinnier. I'm feeling more confident each day. I still struggle and have off days with the new reflux I have but it's an adjustment so I'm dealing :)

      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!!
