I really haven't stuck to a routine. I know what I have to get Protein wise and just try to get it in. I have been sick so much the past couple months with only about 2 weeks where I kind of ate. I love Kroger's low fat crackers. I will get a can of tuna and tablespoon of mayo and 5 crackers and have that for lunch or dinner. I sometimes eat a dannon lite and fit Greek yogurt blueberry or strawberry for Breakfast or snack. I use to love cream of chicken Soup but since gallbladder surgery last week the smell kills me. I am more or less starting at the beginning again as I was in Clear Liquids while i was in the hospital and placed back on full liquids now till I see the surgeon on Wednesday. I was originally placed on regular foods at 6 weeks post op.

Hello October buddies. My surgery was oct 9th. My heaviest ever was 308

My surgery weight was 262

Today's weight is 210!

I worry I am not doing well or it is coming off to slow :( I am happier than ever. I feel so much better physically. I just wish I had more support in my real life. If I hear one more time. "Is that all you are going to eat" I might cry.

mullberry, I think we are all worried about the same things but if we look at it we are all losing about at the same pace. I just wish I could exercise like I am suppose to as I believe this is why I am not losing more but its physically impossible right now until I recover from all these procedures I have had since surgery. so far I haven't heard any comments I just get the baking chocolate cakes and eating chips and candy in front if me. even though I didn't eat it prior to surgery that much but when your main meal is a cracker and tuna ...

I don't get the food comments either--only thing is when we eat w my mom, she constantly asks me if I'm feeling sick! Lol I tolerate most any foods--haven't thrown up any but have had couple spells of nausea or dumping. I feel like I've been really lucky.

I have to say I am doinv great! DOS 10/3/12 220 down to 169 i can wear a size 12 sometimes 10. I feel great. I shop a lot LOL! But only low prices. I am hoping to get down to an 8. I never thought I would feel this way about myself. A guy at work says I even walk differently. My husband can't keep his hands off me. Exercise is my friend now. But best of all I can wear skinny jeans and my boots zip all the way up.

I think you may get smaller then an 8!! Your doing awesome!! I have a lot more to lose but I do need to go shopping. I need shirts and bras mainly. I have 3 pairs of jeans. A size 18 that fits but is a little loose a size 16 same design and brand as the 18's that fit perfect and a size 14 that fit but is a little snug

      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? 🤷‍♀️
