my doc said to keep it close to 1000 cal (I'm 5'10"), I've been loosing about 2 lb /week. I'm work on buliding muscle with pilates 4x/wk and walking 3-4x/week.

Im finding shrimp very easy with stirfried soft veggies.

I had vsg on 5/29 and have lost 22 lb so far.

i'm 2 wks and 5 days out now from sleeve on 5/29, my weight is moving slowly, but steadily, I think as i advance the consistency of the food, it stalls for a day or two then drops. I am walking and started back at pilates yesterday. I'm getting lots of complements at work! Is anyone using the fitbit and want to connect? So…

Neat, where did you get that done?

I had surgery 5/29 and went back to work with patients in a clinic 10 days later. I was very tired and sore the first week, and my staff kept it light. I would have loved to take the second week off. Im 2/12 weeks out and get very tired at about 2 pm (now!). you are still on liquids 2 weeks out. I had some soft solid/mushy…

I'm camping next week, any tips on food while camping?

I've had 77 gms of protein in by noon today! my goalis 80-100 gms.

miso broth is good, I would throw some grated fresh ginger in there, also ginger tea is good for nausea.

I've had some emotional moments after my surgery 2 weeks ago. I had to be changed to a non extended release version of one of my depression meds (because you have to crush meds for 3 months) , and also my blood sugars are more variable, my energy is low on less than 800 cal, and some pain , all of which I'm sure…

Im 43 with 2 kids and had BMI 37 after a significant weight loss and then gain over 4 years. I have diabetes, and hypertension. I had the vsg 2 weeks ago, I'm down 12 lb. off my bp med and 1 diabetes med. I was out of the hospital after 1 night and back to work 10 days after surgery. i'm still on full liquid phase, and…

So happy for you!

so proud of you!

yay, down 1 lb today for my official 2wk weight! down total 12 lb from preop. Thanks for the suggestions, yes I'm sure the sodium is higher in the premade soups.

I lost 11 lb my first week and nothing my second.

i am also using coconut water, 1/2 and 1/2 with water and ice and add a little flavoring like crystal light .

I had my sleeve may 29th. I am now on full liquids, mostly doing shakes and soups with unflavored protein powder. I have tried trader joe's tomato and roasted peper, corn and roasted pepper, and my fav latin black bean. I can get in about 1/2 to 3/4 cup and mix in the organic Source whey protein powder 20 gm (2 scoops). My…

there is a website : two sleevers that has some good recipies

How are you doing? I have my surgery tomorrow the 29th. I'd love to hear your blow by blow experience!

Yay!

I just ordered some FitFrappe. My nutritionist conceded that I could have coffee if it was part of a protein shake.

i'm having surgery tomorrow, my doc said I could go back to pilates in a month, and walking right away.

Hi I'm goon for my surgery 5/29.... Any tricks on getting in the fluid?

Hi, I will be having surgery on may 29th! I've only told a few friends. I work at the hospital I'm having surgery at though, so each time I go for tests or appointments, more people I know find out. Everyone has been supportive so far. I have not told my extended family, and probably won't unless it comes out accidentally.

I have diabetes and have bmi 37 and have lost 5 lb so far, my surgeon also said don't go below 35 before I get the surgery. I'm working on building muscle with pilates and kettle bells, and laying off the cardio, just walking, and sticking to a 1400 calories high protein diet, so I am aiming to be just over 35 at my…

From someone who works in healthcare, just know that we are all very desensitized to gown mishaps. So in a good way, no one will think twice or judge you. However, speak up if you feel uncomfortable, and usually whatever it is will be remedied quickly by the staff.

how long after surgery until you could excercise again. I walk,swim, do pilates, and things like trx and planks, kettle bells.

i lost my fitbit flex on vacation, but loved it before that. It sync with an iphone app. Just be careful it is fastened securely! I am waiting to get a new one (they cost $99) until I get my surgery date set.

I called insurance co this morning and they said that it should be approved by Friday, still holding out hope that I can schedule surgery for next week May 29Th!

I'm trying to give up lattes, have switched to decaf at home in the morning, but I had to get one at Peets this afternoon, I was so sleepy at work after a particularly boring morning. I tried the almond milk and added half scoop of unflavored organic whey protein, and it was creamy and yummy ( I have been using Biochem and…
