I’m up and around and feeling fine. I sure am hungry, though. Real, not head hunger. I’m averaging 90 G protein and 600 calories. Down 11 lbs since 4/19.

I have felt pretty great this week. As far as hunger goes, some days very hungry in my head. Other days, 3PM rolls around and I remember I better get a shake in. Down 12 pounds since 3/9. Weight loss kind of stalled for a few days but have a feeling its due to constipation:(

I'm doing ok,down 28 pounds since surgery on 3/5...just ready to be 2,3 etc months post op so that the discomfort with eating and drinking gets better

Two days out. Doing ok. Still nauseated when trying to drink. I have real hunger as well but it is not overpowering at all.

That’s awesome!! Woo hoo!!!

3 days out and doing ok. I was able to finish a protein shake today, though it took an hour and a half. No chance of me meeting my 64oz goal but I continue my sips.
How long until I can get on the scale and see all of this surgery bloat and Water weight gone? I GAINED 7 lbs from the surgery, which I understand is mostly bloating due to the swelling. But when will I see the number slide back down?? A week post-op or longer?

3 Weeks out as of yesterday. On Puree stage now. Started work again on Monday and everything is good minus feeling dead tired by the end of the work day. 2 shakes plus a little protein like yogurt, cottage cheese. My goal is about 90g of protein and my 64oz of water. Besides that, all is good and getting in about 2 miles of walking in the late evening.

You lost 61 lbs in 3 weeks? You are rock star!

No. That was my starting weight back in may of last year from talking to my PCP about surgery. Surgery day I was 306 so 20lbs in 3 weeks.

Phew, I was thinking that is a really high bar for me to measure against. Thank you for the reality check.

Feeling good today! Still feel like I need an afternoon nap. Back to work on Monday.

Heyyy March 7 here feeling as we one except constipated hahaha but no pain I’m getting my protein and water in down 28 lbs [emoji8][emoji847][emoji847][emoji847]

OMG! That’s awesome!!! Out of curiosity, how much protein and cals are you getting in? I’ve been stuck at 11 for several days. I average 650 cals and 90 protein.

I'm feeling great. Don't have any real issues with food - except I cannot tolerate EGGS in any form....which makes me sad. Down 30lbs but have had an impacted colon twice! On Miralax but not always helpful. I have not had any issues moving from phase to phase. Start "regular" foods tomorrow! I was sleeved on 3/7.

I'm feeling pretty good! My surgery was March 12th and I'm down 30 pounds. Still a little bit sore when trying to sleep but not too bad.

I was sleeved/hernia repair on 3/16. I am down 16 lbs as of today and feel good other than being more tired than normal. I am walking at least 30 min a day, sometimes outside when the weather cooperates (it is snowing at the moment). My stomach still seems swollen but I am enjoying many firsts these days. I have lost 41 lbs overall and have been able to get into clothes and shoes that were too tight before. I was going to wear this cute white dress I purchased and had only worn once. My husband giggled when I put it on and told me it looked like I was wearing a huge napkin. I had to agree! My second choice was MUCH better. I have been going up and down 2 lbs for the past week. I am not very good at drinking but I am getting about 50oz water/protein drinks. I am doing great with protein and am on pureed foods. I have found my stomach can handle everything so far. I still am having issues with vitamins making me want to vomit, but I was able to stomach the iron chew last night for the first time, so that was a win too. I have had dreams the surgeon didn't remove enough of my stomach or didn't even do the surgery because eating seems too easy. I am looking forward to the next lbs to start dropping off. I want the new me now!
