I'm feeling great! My surgery was 9/19, the day after you! So far, I've had no problems! As long as I eat enough Protein, I do not get hungry. If I do sometimes I get a spoonful of the new whipped jiffy Peanut Butter and that really helps!! Also laughing cow cheese wedges are great and only 35 calories a wedge. One normally does the trick for me! I'm glad you are doing well! I'm from PA! Where are you from?

Great!! I'm from MA! I also use the laughing cow cheese for snack, and help me too...Refried Beans, cheese, tuna, chicken, chickpeas, Greek yogurt, and Protein shakes (I just can take one per day)!.. I don't know yet when I'm full when I eat, I just measure my food..and you?

I have found when I'm too full I start to hiccup!! I thought that was weird but I've read that can be normal! I, too, eat tuna, chicken, yogurt, scrambled eggs with a half if slice of cheese , cottage cheese and I mix no sugar added jelly and Protein Shakes which sometimes I add baby food fruit to it to give it a better flavor! Sometimes it's harder for me when I'm making lunch for my children, I have 4 year old twins and a 2 year old. But we have all really turned our eating around, making healthier choices. And they don't even realize it! My husband is even losing weight! So that's good! I'm happy for you! My weight as of my surgery day was 320 today was 300! I almost into the 200's again and that will be awesome!

I was sleeved on the 19th. I am down 24 pounds. I have found when I find myself getting hungry all the time usually a glass of crystal light helps. I think a lot of it is thirst.

I agree, I do try and get something to drink, as well! Were you told to no longer drink caffeine? I was!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
