Hello I'm Donna and I had vgs on May 26. I am currently down 22.8lbs since pre op. Trying to hold myself together a few more days on this whey protein. Im very pleased with my surgery my Dr.s and other than severe heartburn I'm doing ok. I am walking at least 30 minutes a day. Up to 1.5 miles so I'm proud of that. I can feel the loss and cant wait to see me in a few months. I am grateful for finding this site because it will help educated and give all of us a place to see if we are alone in a situation or not. I am trying my best to get all my protein in although thats a challenge.. hoping all are doing well

Great loss!! I had bypass instead of sleeve on June 4 and I am already so done with the Protein powder! I still can't hold very much at a time, so it takes forever to drink one of those nasty drinks (which I thought I enjoyed but 1 1/2 hours in to it, I am more than done!) I have to try to figure out how to make the drinks smaller (i.e. half the scoop or something). To add insult to injury, I got on the scale this morning and hadn't lost anything since surgery. Tomorrow is another day - at least that is what I keep telling myself! Good luck to you!

When I finally dragged out the scale a few days after surgery 5/26 I was up 9 pounds from the day before! I was so mad. Nothing came off, nothing.... Now I wake up to 3-5 lbs down every morning for a week.

@alilove2631 That is great to hear!! Really hope that happens for me too!!!
