Woop!. Starting at 229 today. According to hospital scale.

Why are the robes for like six hundred pound people?. Even the socks are huge!

I had my Sleeve surgery on 10/7/15. The first few days were REALLY rough. I'm now 2.5 weeks post surgery and feeling good. I have no appetite. I'm losing on average a pound a day and so excited about my journey.

I'm sharing pretty much the same exact journey as you. Trying to figure out the "real food" thing now.

I tried to move on to more food per my first post op doctors appt. I'm not ready lol. My body totally rejected more than my liquid foods. I tried I failed. Back to liquid I'll stay for a while. I hate the feeling of food not staying down.

I am not regular either. I am only going about 1 time a week.

I have to drink SMOOTH MOVE tea tonight to get things flowing again.

I have been taking a Colace stool softener caplet every other day (scared to take more).

It took me a while but I realized I pretty much had to stay mushy for now and I had to measure as long as I stay between two and 4 ounces I seem to be OK but every once in a while I do a protein shake and don't even try to eat because it is tricky right now. But hey whatever works as long as you're getting your protein let's keep getting skinny :-) what are your stats?

@@Joi Bells

Welcome. We all had surgery around the same day and are progressing about the same. I have also transitioned from full liquids to soft foods over the past 3-4 days. I am still drinking a Protein drink though because I am trying to hit my protein goal between 60-75g per day and with soft foods that fit in my sleeve, it does not seem possible.

Are your tracking your food/liquid/protein intake on MyFItnessPal or a similar website? It helps!

If you friend me, you can see my diary. I stalk other people's food diaries for suggestions too. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/thisfathasgot2go

Idk how to friend smh. I'm trying to get adjusted to being able to respond. How do a respond to a specific user name? Smh it's rough lol.

My stats... I'm 5'5 started off at 215 I'm currently at 189 today. How you doing?

I also made my protein shake into like a Popsicle and that helps me get my daily protein in.

Nice! We're not that close in stats but we can still journey together! ????

I'm doing ok. I'm 5'3. Started at 232. I'm 215 now. Had a couple rough days but nothing was as bad as the liquid he'll portion for two weeks lol. I was October 7th also ????

We're doing good and I'd love that. I think doing the process with a partner or team will keep us on the journey in a positive way. Let's do this buddy.

I am just short of 5'3"

I started at 225.

Lost 30 pre-op and 12 post-op.

I post here with my surgery day twin and I post on the "Are there any other Oct 6 sleevers?" post mainly, as far as checking in and comparing how we are doing. I think there is an October 2015 sleevers thread too.

I love reading about others experiences and sharing mine. We are all working together to be successful and we will be.

I'm 5' 6'

Sleeved October 5th

I'm on liquids and Soup until November 2nd. I was losing a pound a day for the first two weeks but it has slowed as of late.

Good call on the smooth move tea. A little crampy at first but it worked like a charm. Thank you thisfathas2go.

@@retrieverguy

Glad it helped. It does cause some uncomfortable cramping that I have breathe through. My scale went up to 184, so I know I need to have a bowel movement since it has been almost a week. I did not drink my smooth move last night. Today, it is on my menu.
