I am glad I read this post....I am 6 months out and have lost an amazing 102 lbs! I have slowly integrated my diet pepsi habit into life again. Not extreme, as I barely drink one small glass a...

I agree with most everyone. I would think its a mix of the pain meds, which maybe he should try moving down to tylenol or something? And the fact he is eating so little will make him weak. ...

Thanks bjc! You are right and thanks for the reminder :)

Loved your post and wonder the same for me! I've always been a large girl and my belly has never been flat, perma muffin top :( But hey, a tummy tuck is in my future after all this goes away! Keep...

I also have trouble not drinking with meals. I love a big glass of milk, lol. But now, I might take a sip of my husbands milk, but almost always regret it. I still struggle with that one last bite...

I think you should try and eat more, try what your fiance's having, just a really small portion. Well listen to your dr, but add some more robust foods to your diet and I am sure the scale will dip...

I had Anthem OH through my job, and they were awful to deal with last year. I was denied they said the sleeve was experimental and I also had read they wanted 6 months of weight mgmt from a dr, but...

@ Feisty - I completely agree about how portion sizes look crazy big now! I am constantly looking at mu husbands plate and realizing how much he eats! Then, he practically loses weight just by the...

I had the pain on the left side - my dr said it was just muscular/ skeletal from the surgery. It started at about week 2, completely gone by week 4. :-) Hang in there, breathe deep and take it...

I am 4 weeks out today and am now down 26 lbs since surgery, 36 total. I am amazed at the changes already! I just returned to work, as my dr encourages us to take the time and focus on the new...

I've heard my fitness pal is great, I use spark people and it also helps track pretty closely to what you have eaten. Lots of foods too. I really like being able to track everything and see where I...

I am three weeks out tomorrow (3/28) and had my depressive moment first when we innocently took our daughter to the movies. The diet pop was calling my name, didn't have it, still haven't btw :) ...

They gave me a solutab of Prevacid. It helps, Good Luck!! It will pass. How about milk? That seems to help mine. :)

You are an amazing inspiration! You look great!

I wasn't taking it daily, but did need it sometimes. My doc has me taking a solutab of Prevacid, and I have been taking it almost everyday. I'm still on liquids, so thats probably why. I think...

I was so glad to read your post, I am 12 days out and am really starting to see what I am now missing. I know this passes, but I have actually been hungry the past few days. I try a protein shake...

I had surgery the same day as you and am finding it hard as well to get the protein up. I am losing, but not eating much of anything. I added powder to a smoothie today, cut the recipe in half and...

Hey you go girl! lol I am 10 days out and cant even imagine eating meats. But I also havent been eating enough protein and need to work on that. 14 lbs since surgery, 25 total. I have to say the...

I am just 10 days post op and my dr didn't add protein until 1 week out. I have been slowly adding it in. I added vanilla to a Yoplait frozen smoothie, its was yummy! I could only drink about 3...

I just had my pre op diet about 3 weeks ago and it was basically 11-1400 calories, under 100g of carbs, less than 30g fat, and 140+ of lien protein. I found a great website/ app I still use and it...

Thanks for all the advice and thoughts. I do know this is the best choice for me and I will be having surgery. I just needed to vent those sneaky doubts that land in my head :) I have been fighting...

My surgery is scheduled for next Monday and I think I am having second thoughts. I have been on the pre op diet they give you, and mine is pretty liberal from what it sounds. I am reacting pretty...

I have had a lot of supporters, and a couple of negative people, but as everyone said, I keep reminding myself that I am doing this for me, my family, and most of all my health. I have the doubts...

I start my pre op diet tomorrow and it sounds much more normal than the rest. I have a protein, vegetable, fruit, even a piece of bread or sliced deli meat. And of course the protein shakes. just...

Hi everyone :) I am Jen and am new to the group. My sleeve surgery is scheduled for 3/7 and I start the pre op diet tomorrow. As many have said, I am excited and nervous, but so hopeful for whats...
