Just found out my date is July 30th. Aack! So excited! I keep fluctuating between excited and scared. Any other July 30ths out there? Let's do this!

Hello All! Had my first check up. I was told in no uncertain terms that I cannot move to puréed foods early. There is a high risk of leaks during the first four weeks post op. Since I'm having a hard time with consuming dairy, the PA told me to blend chicken with stars or chicken noodle soup (not home style) I did that, was able to eat almost a cup of it, and I feel fantastic. I only got in 400 calories/ 40 G protein all day today but it was better than prior days. I only got in 200 cals yesterday and felt so bad all day.

Are any of the July 30 group on MyFitnessPal? If you'd like to share, please PM me. Hope you all are feeling ok! I drove today And had a mani/pedi. Starting to feel human again!

Glad your beginning to better.

I just so excited that everyone's progressing on the right direction. I had my first checkup yesterday. I lost 12lbs so far. I still can't go back to work until next week. We're having major heat advisors with temp 99-100 with heat index 110. Yesterday I thought I was going to pass out after going from the mail box to the house. I struggling to get 70 grams of protein daily. Didn't make it yesterday. Drove yesterday for the first time.

Congrats on your loss yellow box. I understand about the heat......106 here yesterday. I started back half days and am resting the rest of the day. The heat zaps your energy quickly. Driving has not been a problem and pain is decreasing. Trying to focus on getting more calories , fluids, and protein in. I go next week for a follow- up. Hope it's a good report.

Congratulations and good luck. I am scheduled for September 25th.

Has anyone tried hot sauce yet?

Hi yellow box, I have been focussing more on protein grams and how much fluids. When adding it up though I am probably around this....

Protein. 60 ish

Fluids 60-70

Calories - 500 or so. ( I am trying to make myself add another protein drink or soup though for some more calories and energy. I have been a little shaky a few mornings. )

I have lost 7 pre-op and 8 since surgery- 15 total. I am very happy. Dealing with a pain in my side though tonight. Hope I haven't popped any stitches.......

All the best to you!

No hot sauce yet although it sounds yummy

I had 400 calories today and 41 grams of protein. Wish I could take in more calories but it will happen with time.

My date has been moved up to July 29th. Are the any July 29 sleeves out there?

I was July 29th too. How are you doing?

I coming along. The biggest issues are getting Proteins and Water. My new tummy still makes that funny sound shortly after drinking. I completely stopped taking pain meds. Ready to get back to work. How are you progressing?
