24 days post op
Had my check up today and everything is great! I'm down 22 pounds! I went back to full time this week and it was a challenge at first but by Thursday I was feeling pretty good. I also started walking on my treadmill. I can do 2.5 miles for now. It stalled me but that was expected. In not going to panic. I have lost so many inches im down 2 sizes and my belly is so much flatter!
Still struggling with eating slowly. Toughest part. I usually end up in pain and then I'm done lol

19 days post op doing great!
Sorry it's been awhile, trying to fit in work and sleeve life lol I started a blog also about this journey if y'all want to read it Bariatricwoman.com. I am doing so much better. I finished a week at work going half days. I can now get in more exercise daily too. I've got myself on a schedule for eating and drinking which really helps! Here's my stats
Start of journey: 243
Day of surgery: 238
Today: 222
That's 16 pounds gone!!! So excited!
I still can't eat much beyond yogurt. Anything with more texture and only 3 votes can get down before I have pain, no matter how slow I go. I know this will get better so I'm not pushing it. How are you all doing?

I'm happy to hear everything is going well and congratulations on your weight loss.

WOW good for you hon!! Sounds like your check up went well. I need to start getting in some exercise. What schedule do you have yourself on? I'm not getting enough liquids... I'm just not thirsty so I'm trying to think of different ways to get in liquids... We are about 3 lbs from each other... when I started this back in june or july I was 265...I can't remember what I was the day of Sx now lol but at my 2 week check up I was 225. You're doing good hon!!!
April 4, 2016
That is awesome! Here's my schedule..7am high protein shake 9am water 16 oz. 11am triple zero yogurt. 12pm water 16oz. 3p.m. mix sugar free pudding with pb2 it's like dessert lol. Then an hour after I get that down, water and then I try some tuna or mashed beans which I can get a few bites on and when the pain eases I try to get another water down. This is usually how my day goes. Sometimes it takes longer to get food down. I average 450 calories a day and between 50 to 60 ounces of water. Plus pepcid twice a day and vitamins twice a day. I feel like it's all I do lol.
April 4, 2016
If you meant exercise I walk every day and add a block each night. Plus I try yoga but it only lasts a few minutes. I figure I'll build up more strength
April 4, 2016
I bet it does feel like that. That's a good schedule...I need to try to do that to get more liquids in. The protein is easy cuz I can just go get a gladiator smoothie with double protein and I'm good for the whole day. I'm gonna try make a schedule tomorrow to follow!
April 4, 2016
Yah I need to start exercising... he said try stuff little by little to see what you can do...but walking is good. I asked about boxing...not so much LOL
April 4, 2016
Honestly...I've only been having like a small gladiator shake and maybe some yogurt. But the other day I did make my kid some turkey tacos....so I took some of the turkey meat, cheese, and piece of tortilla, and some sour cream and put it in my vitamix....OMG it was SO good LOL Today though...I had some roast chicken from costco... I actually just chewed it really really well and it was fine...no problems. I've also been having pinto beans and cheese in the vitamix... I can't eat much at all... maybe a few spoonfuls and I'm good. I went to costco today and got some salmon, pork tenderloin and stuff to make beef stew. The salmon will be easy to break up and the pork and beef stew I'll put in the vitamix... it's nice to have a variety finally...I was SO over those protein shakes! But the chocolate gladiator from Smoothie king is really good!

I wish I lived closer to places like that! We barely have a tiny grocery store lol. Maybe I can find a copycat recipe online.
April 6, 2016
Oh yah you live in a small town... hmmm that's a good idea...I bet you probably can. I need to go back... it's so much easier getting the protein in with that shake!
April 8, 2016
