Amazing hon! You look fantastic! How far out are you if you don't mind me asking. I'm almost a year out from gastric sleeve and i feel like we are at a similar place. Are you at goal or still losing?

That's amazing progress for such a short amount of time. What was you guys' regimen if you don't mind me asking. I can't seem to stay on track lately and i want to keep losing. Its coming off so slow now. So frustrating.

Honestly I pretty much eat whatever. I try to stick to healthy stuff but no ones perfect. I need to get back in the gym more often. I'm just so tired after work it's hard to want to go. It also doesn't help that I work with a lot of really friendly Indian ladies that always have super yummy food to share.

that makes me feel so much better. I eat pretty much whatever too but i try to stay within the rules. Protein first and all that. Omg i hate turning away food. Always have. Its really hard now since i just don't have the room. Its been almost a year for me and i still haven't worked out lol. I just hate gyms.

That is so inspiring. I am a 24 right now and 2 weeks post op. Any favorite foods or tips?

Sent from my SM-G925V using BariatricPal mobile app



Favorite foods would be fresh fruit and veggies. They go down really easily and they don't sit heavily on my pouch. Low fat turkey chilli Is another favorite of mine. Add a little shredded cheese and bam super yummy and full of Protein. Never again will I eat pudding or Soup unless I absolutely have to.
Tips? Do not get discouraged. After I had my surgery I had instant buyers remorse. I missed food. I actually had a full blown crying break down in a rite aide because they didn't make sugar free ice cream... now though I cannot imagine my life and diet any differently. Yes I miss cheeseburgers and pizza, but I do not miss being 306 pounds.
Ice chips will be your bff for a while. It helped satisfy my desire to chew and have some crunch in my mouth and helped me stay hydrated.
Walk, walk, walk. Always walk. It helps you digest, helps relieve gas pain, and you'll lose so much faster.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
