Just a vent. . .

I'm 2 weeks post op today. I had a bad weekend with eating. I think I did ok with Water. But I am 1 wk into puree and did eat a couple slices of deli turkey which I won't be doing again for a couple weeks, because it made my belly upset.

So it was my first event since my surgery. My nieces 16th birthday. My sister had soda, turkey or ham sub sandwiches and chips. I drank water and had 2 slices of deli turkey. I did better than I would of pre-surgery. So that was a NSV. But like I said in first paragraph it did make me very full and uncomfortable. That night my sister ordered pizza. I had some cheese and sauce topping and a couple mozzarella sticks. Again felt like I ate too much. But just relaxed for the rest of the night drinking my water.

I now realize how toxic my family is on food. The stress being around them is hard. But I have learned new things which I feel this whole weightloss self-care journey is all about. Got home and right back to my puree and water. 1 more week then soft foods. Which I think I will do pretty good at. I just miss chewing the most.

I am! January 30th. I'm so nervous, but so ready. I've never had surgery before. But I'm confident in my medical team!

I have a question to everybody:

I am 4 weeks out and already back to exercising (I have been exercising regularly for 2 years and is quite fit for my size). I am instructed to eat no more than 600 calories a day but I am already burning more than that working out (today I burned 1000 calls at orange theory then 400 doing Krav Maga (self defense) class). Is 600 clas enough? I am not hungry and have lost 21 lbs since op day. Thanks!

I would check with your dr for sure (and report back). I routinely walk over 10k steps (a week post op now) and wonder what will happen when I bring lifting. How have you been feeling post work out?

Very good! My energy is through the roof. I guess eating healthy and avoiding sugar really changes the game!

I'm 5 weeks out and my Dr and Dietician said I should be consuming 800-1000 calories a day.

Hey! How is everyone doing? Today marks 2 months since my sleeve and I've loss almost 50 lbs from my pre-op diet. Overall, I feel great. I go for my blood work tomorrow so I hope everything checks out OK with that. I walk about 3-4x a week and attend a weekly Water aerobics class. I have to "UP" my exercise routine but as a mom of 3 (youngest being a toddler), it's just so hard to find the time. The weight doesn't slide off the way I envisioned, you definitely have to put in work to lose the weight but I have no regrets.
