22lbs in the first week?! No wonder the scale didn't move the second week! You are doing just fine. Great job on not letting that scale get to you!

Lol. I have to admit, it did get to me at first. But now... POSITIVE attitude!!

I needed to read your post. I am also at 2 weeks post op and feeling discouraged. Not so much by the weight loss ( lost 19 pounds so far) but I just feel like I am not losing it fast enough and I cant eat anything except for soup and yogurt. Tried scrambled eggs yesterday and it just didnt happen for me. What are you eating.

Don't be discouraged! 19 lbs is awesome!!

My first couple days of soft food I made tuna salad (tuna, eggs, a little light mayo, and a small piece of pickle) I blended in my ninja until it was about baby food consistency. I also eat Greek yogurt for breakfast. Today I ate an egg (well, most of it anyway) that was mushy/runny. Tonight I'll try to make chicken salad but I plan on leaving it just a little chunkier than my puréed tuna- just so I can slowly get used to a thicker consistency- baby steps.

I hope this helps you!

Thanks I needed this as well I'm down 15lbs since my surgery on the 12th and I am starting to tapper off. I was kinda down this morning but I know it is a process and once I get back into the gym it's going to start coming off fast. In total I'm down 34 lbs from the start and I feel and look fantastic and amazing..... I know this is my journey and A NEW chapter in my life.

I am so jealous that you're eating soft foods! I'm 9 days out & will be on clears until next Wednesday, when I go back for my first postop appt. I will then be on 2 weeks of fulls before I can move to purees. Gah...seems like a really long time to have a whole month before a freakin' puree. The only 2 exceptions to my clear liquids are skim milk & kefir (liquid yogurt), which I'm very thankful for. My scale has begun to move, but certainly nothing as dramatic as 22 lbs! I love your attitude...thanks for sharing it!

Southernsoul-- oh my goodness! I couldn't imagine being on liquids that long! But I'm sure your doc has a method to his madness

Good luck to you!!
