I started Calcium chewable and Multivitamins because the Vitamins crushed are getting very hard to go down lately., the funny part is that I am expending so much Time cooking my special recipes I found ( pure )and after 4 bites I get this stuck feeling on my chest.. Not losing much but I do not want to worry that much about that...

My weight was 182 before pre op diet .. now 160.. I have lost about 22 including the prep op 11 pounds so 11 after surgery.., maybe I am not drinking enough Water.., but its hard to keep it up all day thinking about drinking, eating, working, kids on vacation ... So much!! I am getting between 600-800 calories .. Any advice?

I'm a June 10th-er too. Since surgery down 12lbs as of this past Monday. Usually get at least 50oz of Water in and a little over 60g of Protein. I think what helps in that area is that I have the nectar Fuzzy Navel powder every morning. Right there is 23g of protein. At my 2 week follow-up I went from full liquids to soft solids. Usually have rotisserie chicken, tuna or deli turkey with some cheese and low-fat mayo. Been walking at least 3 miles a day, 4-6 days a week, since about day 7. I have been somewhat fortunate in that I got laid off the Friday before my surgery so I have had the last month to really focus on healing and my diet. Have an interview tomorrow so my days of rest may be coming to an end soon!

You got sleeved weighing 182? Wow you weren't big at all. You have little to loose. Good luck

Yes, but I am only 5 feet tall so 35 bmi, i also had many issues, allergies, border line diabetes and high cholesterol. Hopefully my new labs show better numbers next time. In addition lower back arthritis that makes really hard to exercise and move around...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
