I was sleeved on 8/2/16.....I'm 46 (47 in Nov)....5'3".....live in SE/Coastal GA.....

HW: 235

SW: 202.4

CW: 179.8

GW: 130-135

5 wks post-op & been on a full diet since 8/31. Still struggling to get enough fluids and calories in every day.....I've only been able to get to 800cal twice so far....still at about 2 ozs per meal (tho' last night I had 3 ozs for dinner & was miserable)....yesterday I hit 32 ozs of Water but it was not easy.....really not hungry & food isn't appealing to me....WLS medical team said that every thing I'm experiencing is completely normal for this stage of recovery and that I'm doing great....wish I had more energy & WLS medical team says that once I'm eating & drinking more my energy will increase.

All & all very happy with my decision.

Nice to meet other VSGs with similar surgiversaries!!!

Hello everyone who just got sleeved or who answered...

Doingitmyway

Are u drinking Protein drinks ?

If so what kind ?

I'm drinking nectar ones mixed with Water I also dilute apple juice. And when I feel I can't get Water down or fluids I'll chew ice crunch ice from sonic is the best

I eat sugar free Jello and with full liquids I eat cream of wheat and I feel full I make it watery so that it's easy to go down. I do get hungry at times but I drink fluids to take that hunger away.

I was feeling pain in my larger incision but it has gone away now

I also eat vanilla Greek yogurt no fruit in it also if u feel u can't front Protein Drinks cuz they are to plain u have a nutrabullet and I put ice in it and. Frozen fruit like peaches mango bananas a scoop of Protein and water and make it like a smoothie then I spoon it like ice cream it's the best if j don't finish it I'll put it in the freezer till I'm ready for more and just let it thaw and blend it again

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
