I am thrilled! It's been so much easier than I could have imagined. Not easy, just easier than expected. I was a 35bmi so weight loss might seem slow by comparison but I am thrilled. My biggest issue with food has been watching others be gluttonous at Thanksgiving. Congrats to all October sleevers.

Mine was 10/27

I've lost 43 pounds so far things are going great for me.

Almost 8 weeks out and doing fab. So far I have been able to eat anything I try. Trying my best not to fall back on carbs like I used to. Had a rough couple of days right after I was cleared for all foods. I went a little overboard on the carbs. Otherwise, this whole journey is a learning process. I am relearning what being full feels like and learning to listen to my body when it tells me to stop eating. Also recently went back to my trainer so I can start toning my muscles in hopes of decreasing the severity of extra skin. Feels good to be active again.

I started with a lower BMI also so seeing a pound a week loss only 9 weeks in but as long as it's coming off.

What are y'all eating? I'm struggling with getting enough food in. I forget to eat which is bad. I only had 438 calories today. My doc says I should be around 1000 calories a day.

Thanks

Drink a Protein shake. You have to get more calories than 800/day. You will deprive your body.

Not good.

I had sleeve surgery on 10/5 and have been doing great! Like @@bwyjunky79 I seem to be able to eat anything (in very small amounts). I continue to focus on Protein and hydration, with fiber/complex carbs when I have room left. SW 228 CW 196 (and down from a tight size 16 to a size 12 - woohoo!).

@@TiredOfMyself - here is my usual food for the day:

Breakfast - coffee with nf milk, then 1 egg, 1-2 oz cheese

lunch - 3 oz grilled chicken, tuna salad or deli meat, 3 wheat crackers (encouraged by my NUT)

Dinner- varies every day but always 3 oz meat (tonight was grilled shrimp, the night before was pot roast) plus a few bites of vegetable

Hi Everyone! So far all is good, my date was 10/24. However, the doc said my Protein levels and b complex is severely low. I have to drink more Protein shakes a day. Other than that I do struggle with walking. I don't walk as much as I should. Yesterday was the first time I went out and actually walked for longer than 5 min. I did about a mile...it felt great but I didn't sweat 1 bit and was wondering was I doing the right thing? I start the gym today as well.

In regards to eating, I just want to be able to find a menu or even a plan that I can follow. I want more variety. I get tired of the same thing fast and just don't want to reach that point. Any suggestions? Would love to hear from you all!

I'm also doing good. My sleeve was done on 10/20/16. I am down 35 lbs so far. Actually lost one pound over the holidays which I am thrilled about. At least I didn't gain! SW 205 CW 170. My goal is around 140. I am now back on track for further weight reduction. Happy New Year everyone!

How many calories do most of you consume daily? My date is 10/05

Hi all!

My date was Oct 3. I'm doing really well! Energy is off the charts good, feeling really healthy for the first time in over 20 years!

I've lost 83 lbs and have gone from a size 20 to an 8. I hike with my husband now and actually LIKE walking and being active now! VSG was the best decision I've ever made.

Eating is easier now. I can eat about 3.5 ounces of lean protein and have added lots of variety to my diet; salads, fruit & veggies, etc.

Been meaning to post recent pics, so I will post them soon.
