My eating habits have totally change stuff that I wouldn't normally I eat and it's great but some times you find that people close to you try an sabotage your weight loss but pay them no mind it would work out I find myself reading the back of products counting calories how much Protein something has in it how much sugar. I drink a lot of my meals but I do eat also I'm learning to cook a little different. And I s wonderful with all different recipes

How are all the early July sleevers doing? I had mine on July 5th. Now 8 days post op I'm down 17 lbs. how is everyone's progress coming along. I want to eat food already. Anyone else feel this way?

I was sleeved on the 17th of July. So far everything is going well. I am healing properly, still sore and having some back pain only on the right side. I am having a hard time getting all the Protein and Water in that is required but I am trying to get better at it everyday. I try not to get on the scale every day because I do not want to get discouraged , so I am saving my scale days for my doctors visits.

How is everyone else?

Congrats it's all ways hard at first getting that protein in I'm still having hard time with it at almost 4 months out. I drink a lot of Premier drink in banana, strawberry and chocolate I also have the vanilla powder muscle milk that you can mix with the different Torans syrups to give the powder a different taste. Also the Protein Bar I go to Big Lot and get Elite Protein Bars in cookie dough, vanilla and coconut they cost about 70 cents. A lot cheaper then any other place I break down into a 3 piece and snack on them during the day and that is 25 grams of protein. I also make my own ice coffee with the Premier drink.

Your welcome any time.

Another thing you can do is add a little bit of Protein Powder in everything you eat, like pancakes, yogurt, oatmeal etc

i didnt think we were allowed popcorn?

[leahglass 26]

First you should see how you like buy a couple I had so much stuff I had to give away but that popcorn and the Protein bar I would measure my popcorn out so I would have it for a week ready to go I had to get organized are I just wouldn't eat. Because I wasn't hungry at all. All so get you different shakes so you will have a variety of different ones so you will keep them in your body I still wake up and have a shake for Breakfast sometimes.
