Lol that’s okay sometimes the silly things work the best and I like the 360 cups because they come in multiple ounces I think it’s 4 oz, 10 oz 12 & 16 oz but I have only seen the 10 and 12 and the others online (: hope I was able to be of some help

Aww thank you so so so much [emoji173]️ I really appreciate all the support and kindness I have received from you and this platform has been beyond what I was looking for within the bariatric/ weight loss community. And being active and getting in fluids in the beginning was hard but they’re the keys to my success along with getting in Protein and Vitamins. Thank you again for your kind and generous words [emoji846][emoji173]️

Hi everyone, my names Myckayla I’m 20 years old my height is 4’11 my highest weight was 220 and my surgery weight was 208.4. I spent a total of 2 nights and 3 days in the hospital due to not being able to drink enough fluids. And now that I’m home I don’t have the feeling of hunger or wanting to drink :( has anyone else dealt with this and if so how? Because I don’t want to go back for dehydration. I’m also in the full liquid stage.

Hi Macky,

i too had my surgery on the 30th and although I feel I’m having a hard time fitting in all the fluids and Protein, ,, I decided to just do the best I can because stressing about it makes me more .... worried.. broth is something I’ve come to really like and the popsicles helps a lot. I keep track of things in a special little book the program gave us.

i also had the patch as it always had worked well for me. But now that’s all good. I feel good, better than I expected even!!!! Except for now I’m tired.. really tired but I’m making small trips to the mailbox, the stop sign at the end of my street... but mostly need to remember to be good to my body,, it went through a complete makeover on the inside.

sounds like you are doing great now!! Keep us updated!!

I am trying! I thought I was doing better with liquids but turns out I am not :/ my stomach never seems to be satisfied and that’s partially because I’m not getting the right amount of Protein or liquids in but I start purée in a few days and I’ll have to see how that goes

How soon are they starting you on the puréed stage after your surgery? I’m still on the full liquids until 2/12... then the puréed...

i like the boxed Soups with my powdered Protein mixed in... very filling tho... I try to remember my insides are healing.. if I don’t get in all my protein then in a few days I will as I continue to heal inside.. I try and get it all in but I also have a lot of fat to live off of for a few days if I need to...

you are doing by great!!!! Keep in touch!

I should be on fulls til the 12th too but my booklet says 1-2 weeks after full I can start so I’m gonna ease my way into purée. Like I said I’m having trouble with Protein and with purée there’s a lot of protein options so I’m just gonna do what feels comfortable to my stomach

I also had surgery on 1/30. My nutritionist allowed me to have 1/2 Premier Protein shake beginning yesterday in morning and other half in evening. What a treat. Anxious for appointment tomorrow. Hopefully I can get tube out. liquid coming out is almost clear. Still wearing patch for nausea.

Yay another 30th sleever! And you had a drain? You’re the first person I’ve come across who’s had one. And I took my patch off I don’t have anything holding me back aside from muscle soreness. And premier is great!

Yes I have a drain. Kind of cool/gross to see all the Fluid. Lol

      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? 🤷‍♀️
