I wrote earlier today because my weight loss seems so slow. I'm down 32 lbs. if you count my 7 lbs. that I lost on the 2 day pre-op liquid diet. Anyway, I decided to try on some clothing which I haven't worn since before surgery. Surprisingly, a lot if it is too big now. That made me want to take a new photo wearing my same pre-op clothes. Here it is. I'm happy with the improvement so far. I need to not worry about the scale so much!

Hi all I'm new here had my surgery 6//18/13. I'm down 41 lbs. I'm having a hard time finding a food plan. I still rely on Protein Shakes for most of my intake. I tolerate an egg ok. Maybe a teaspoon of tuna. But it seems like if I eat early in the day I never get my Fluid in.

This has left me feeling blah. No energy = no exercise. Which I so desperately need to start. Any helpful ideas?

I do a similar plan ( for now) as baconville. solid food is s l o w l y.... being worked into my routine. call me sick but i like the protien shakes snd yougurt. i do encourage you too walk even if you have little energy now.

exercise = energy

basic physics" a body at rest will stay at rest, a body in motion will stay in motion" ...or something like that :-)

Trust me, i know it tough, my biggest battles are with the old me. the old me mants to sit around watching tv or some crap like that. the new me has to mentally jump the old me beat the crap out of him and drag his big ass out for a walk :-) .......the new me is fearless. and kicks ass.

have a great day. its a beautiful day here in Philly come out for a walk.

I am working so hard to get my Protein amounts up. I think the most I have done is 55. I am so sick of Protein Shakes and things that are sweet!

I am stalling right now so I know I have to get those numbers up.

Question for the Junies: I do much better with food that is a little spicy-Mexican spicy- than with blander food, is that weird?

Me too! I thought I was just being strange but I realized that I'm enjoying spicy food more that I did presurgery. And I've had a few stuck episodes recently but I never get stuck with food that has a kick. I wonder why that is?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
