How you doing??

How is everyone doing?

We are sleeve sisters :). I'm doing really well. Good restriction, no nausea and no problem with tolerating any foods on my list. I'm very happy with my progress so far and I'm grateful that I have not been craving sweets.  Just sticking with my dense protein and the odd bite of cooked veggies.  How about you?

Hello! I'm feeling great, down 50 pounds!

Hi Everyone!  I knew to this site - had my surgery 10/30/12 - Hurricane Sandy!  My starting weight was 274 pounds and I was SO surprised @ my 2 week follow up to be down 25 pounds.  I've lost a total of 43.5 pounds as of Monday 1/7 (weighed in @ 230.5).  is this normal?  I am trying to do everything the drs tell me too but honestly I feel like I'm on my own in a lot of ways regarding how much I should be eating at this point.  I know to push protein & get enough water, that kind of stuff.  but I'm not really to the point of eating "meals" yet because by the time I eat the protein (salmon, chicken, imitation crab meat, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese) I have no room for fruits or vegatables so I dont eat much of those at all.  Any advise?

No need to worry about balancing your meals with fruit and veggies yet. I understand that it can take up to 6 months to get much beyond making your protein goals :). One way to get a few bites is to build them in as a snack - even with a teeny amount of protein.  

Hey everyone! I had my surgery on 10/30/12. I'm finally starting to feel good! On my surgery day I weighed in at 197. Since surgery I am down almost 27 pounds.

Congrats on your weight loss!!
