Two months ago today I was sleeved. I have now lost 35 pounds! I am so psyched. Only 24 lbs until my goal weight although now I wonder if I will want to lose more. Never would I have dared think that before. I am so glad I decided to have this surgery and take care of myself.
It took awhile but I have figured out what works for me in terms of when to eat and drink and which foods do not agree with me. I still cannot tolerate breads but who really needs then anyway? I'm still amazed by how

Today is 8 weeks since my surgery and I have lost 33 lbs. and gone down two pants sizes. It took awhile to get into used to eating and drinking separately and more often but I've finally gotten the hang of it. What a difference being sleeved has made in my life. I am so glad I did this!

I had no problems with them prior to surgery but now, not so much. I doubt I've gotten even 10 grams of protein in per day.I need to start getting my energy back and I know that won't happen without the protein. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
