12 days out
perezletaJuly 23, 2015
Well its been 12days out of surgery, so far so good. It seems as time goes by it gets a lil easier, I'm having a hard time getting anything in me, I'm just not hungry at all and when I take anything in it's way smaller amount than what Dr said I would be able to do. I'm lucky if I get 300 calories in a days time and about 20 to 30gm of protein. I do drink water but even that I get maybe 40oz. Well my weight is coming off, I was 224 day of surgery and 12days out I'm 210 yay..!!!! I'm so excited and can't wait for more results. I want to be under 200bls by Aug 12th that's my one month appointment with Dr. Soooo hoping and praying I meet that mark, wish me luck my fellow sleeved friends. Till next update, I'm praying for u all a safe, healthy and happy journey always ????

Congratulations on your weight loss and progress so far! That's awesome! I'm 15 days out and down 13 lbs from surgery. Had a little stall for a week already because I wasn't getting enough protein in. I was having only one shake a day as opposed to 2, so try to keep up with it! Best wishes and keep us posted!

Thank u so much for ur reply, good to hear ur doing great, I'm trying to add more protein in each day but so so hard, I'm just not wanting the shakes anymore lol. I'm craving real food but not junk food,I'm wanting meat and veggies and salad. I'm averaging a pound aday. How do u feel as far as strength? I have days that I'm very weak but I have started to exercise a lil. Is ur incisions still sore? I wish the best to u, we r almost right on track with our days out of surgery. Keep me posted on how ur doing

Hi there, welcome to the WLS community!
Some people do still have cravings and some don't. Are you still on your liquid diet? What stage are you at and what are you allowed to consumer at this point?
We have a very active Sleeve Forum, if you're looking for support. There are hundreds of other sleevers in there and we're all on the same journey.
