I’m doing good I just had sleeve on 1/11/18 I lost 15lbs my first week. My problem is getting the Water in. I’m on stage 2, I’m doing well holding food down and I try not to read negative reports. I make sure I walk everyday. I do notice I go to sleep earlier and wake up early. I pray we all stick to positive thinking and don’t beat up ourselves and just remember this is a tool for a life time and don’t have regrets it’s the best decision we have made for our lives. I just wish I would of made my sooner. Take care and have a Beautfiful day.

Btw, someone mentioned wanting savory vs the sweet Protein Shakes. I found Organic Bone Broth at Wal-Mart of all places! The chicken is delish, fat free and 7g Protein per cup! Goes down well even early on. It's under three bucks too! Score!

I just had my surgery on the 18th. So, far it's going well. I'm not losing much weight although it's only been two days. I would love to connect with other post-op January patients. I am having trouble swallowing my crushed meds because they taste so awful (bitter). Anyone have any ideas on what to mix them with to help the taste?

Sounds like you are doing good! On the pill thing, I have my surgery on the 30th but been trying to have everything I could possibly need lol but I’ve wondered about the pill thing too,,, are you where you can have Protein Drinks yet? I wondered if mixing them with a little Protein Drink would help.....??? I’m allergic the dairy (the protein) so have tried many non dairy Protein Powder but keep going back to one I’ve used the last 25 yrs.. let us know what you end up using.. good luck and glad you are doing well!

I’m actually in Spokane. I like the garden of life the best. And the Orgain is very good and they both come in different flavors I use one scoop of each to make a shake and it’s 30 g of Protein it’s delicious.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
