Three weeks may be a bit early, but I was definitely able to eat salad by my second month - just eat your protein first! I eat way smaller amounts of salad now which I find hard, but it is so...

I can actually eat quite a lot, but less than I was able to maybe a month ago. I guess it is like folks are saying - solids fill you up more. But there is really nothing I have not been able to eat...

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I am almost 3 months out, and I am finding I am able to eat less now than I was able to a month or so ago. I always do my dense protein...

Yes the pre-op was REALLY hard for me - could NOT STAND the optifast and thought I would never make it the 3 weeks. But suddenly it was done, I had the sleeve operation in January, and now I am 50lbs...

Hi there, it's my birthday tomorrow and I am feeling soooo good! I love the idea that tomorrow I am going to go out to dinner with my family and enjoy the meal but not come home feeling I am going to...

I'm just a newbie, but I have managed to get moving on the scale again after 2 weeks of no movement. I put my protein back up to about 80gms (I had slipped down to around 65), and close to 1000...

Sooo happy - moving again after that 2 week stall! I increased my protein again from about 65 to 80+ a day, and my calories intake to about 1000, and 3 lbs down in less than a week! This is all about...

Thanks Edie! Ya, it just feels very precarious right now but I know this is just a blip...

BTW do you still want a photo of my Newf - I love to show him off! How do I send it to you? Can photos be...

Thank you!

Yes, I guess it is a matter of trial and error to see what works for MY body - just so scared of gaining as I figure this out! I am going to try upping the protein again and see where that takes me....

I just bought a tape measure today!

YOur weight loss numbers were FANTASTIC! 29lbs and 22lbs the first 2 months! Will this ever happen for me?!

Good luck with it - I DO feel great even if a little frustrated!

I keep my carbs to 30g or less - that is pretty low isn't it? And none of it is from simple carbs - I really eat no bread, pasta etc, my carbs come from the other foods I eat, and basically no fruit....

Hi there,

I had my sleeve done Jan 3, so I am almost 6 weeks out. Generally things have been great - no pain, lots of energy, following diet with no problems etc. BUT I am not losing weight right...

Wow! A true inspiration!

Honestly? Not being able to walk my 155lb Newfoundland dog until now because of the fear that he might pull me and pull out sutures! But other than that, I think the drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water...

Hi all,

Went for my four week check up today and all is great! So happy with this, I can't believe it. I have lost 33 lbs since December 15 (21 pre op and 12 post op), and 66lbs since I started...

This happened to me too - but now I am four weeks post op and I am moving again!

Hi there,

I am 4 weeks post op and it has not been nearly as hard as I expected! The pre-op diet was waaaay harder for me. I was just so happy to eat real food that the fact that it is pureed does...

Sorry, I didn't answer the rest of your question! My surgery went really well, and the post op was not nearly as bad as I was expecting. I am now on the pureed food stage, and it is good - LOTS of...

HI,

Yes I had mine done in Victoria, covered by MSP. It took a while to get in - about 2 yrs from when I first went to the orientation - but it was good because I had lots of time to get used to...

nice to meet you!

Hi there,

I was sleeved on Jan 3 and things have been going really well. I did the liquid diet for 2 weeks and was able to eat 3/4 cup to 1 cup of soup no problem - that is, as long as I eat...

HI there - I'm in Vancouver. Where are you?
