I had my sleeve done Aug. 27, just looking for people to chat with about how things are going.

Theresa what is the website? Sounds helpful

@@Theresa64 \I've been at a stall for 3 weeks....BUT I have heard that going back to protein shakes and fluids with no food for a day or two will help. Also adding even 30 minutes of walking or gym helps..NOT!!!!!..but I have been eating a bit more food. How does 900 calories a day at 209 pounds put you at a stall? I don't get it. Frustrated.

The website that order for my protein shakes is: Bariatriceticeating.com...They have protein shakes, recipes, low carb cookies, etc..

hope you enjoy the site.

How many grams of protein are you guys consuming per day? I'm getting between 50-80 with shakes and wondering if I need to keep up with that much protein

i had mine done August 31

Sleeved Aug. 27. HW 253. Pre-op 240. Surgery day 230. Today 190.

63 pounds lost total. 40 pounds lost post op.

i thought the high protein was for healing and to help with muscle lost

50-60 grams protein now. ....and for rest of our lives

Hi all, brand new to this site. Frustrated..have only lost 26 pounds since sleeve sugary. Dr. says it's okay, since I didn't have much to lose and it will take some time. Prior to my pre op diet I was 252, post op I was 237 and now I'm 211. Went from a size 26 to 20 pants size. My sugary was Aug 12, 2015. I follow exercise, vitamins, water and protein requirements. Just don't know why I haven't been as successful as some. Any suggestions? Thank you.

We are in the same boat. SW 249. Sleeved 8/24 and only down 37.5lbs. At my last visit doc said I was doing well and keep up with my routine. Just that I plateaued early but it will start falling off again. Hugh!!! I can't wait til that happens!

I had a bad slip this past weekend, ate a lot of junk. Stomach is killing me, and I was quite sad and scared to have had a old habit of bad food choices...uggggggggggggggg

I broke rules this weekend. Had an espresso, a gin and tonic and ate closely to drinking. I came home from holidays and gained 3 pounds. Feeling really bad about my decisions but I didn't feel any ill effects from making the bad choices.

Hi all! I was sleeved on 8/25. I've lost 33# post op. I've had several stalls. I have found that I do much better when my protein is around 100 grams. I have a shake most mornings and triple zero yogurt at night. I have cheese and almonds for my snack. My protein during the day is usually chili, chicken, salami. I bumped up my cardio which has helped. I lost 3.4 # this past week. I'm 5'2 and have 57# more to lose. My goal is to have it off at the 9-12 month mark. I lost 30 preop so I'm thrilled with my results- I have a shape now! Not just a big blob!! Lol!

I'm down 41 since my surgery on 8/11. It doesn't feel like enough but I haven't been exercising the way I should. I know I could do so much better if I just got myself out there and walked. I can do a half mile now without stopping and can do a mile with a break during. I just need to do it.

The eating is going pretty well, following my routine and getting plenty of Protein and fluids. Taking my Vitamins and other supplements also. That's a chore but I get it done. It's just the exercise I dread.
