I'm here to tell you, I don't miss that unnecessary 80% of my stomach in the slightest!!! Good riddance!

Good luck to you!! Will be anxiously waiting to hear how you're doing!!

If you are sure you are dehydrated then yes, it will cause that horrid feeling... not to mention dizziness when standing and the nausea. Be sure to follow up with a Dr. if you do not hear from your surgeon. I am so sorry you feel so bad!

I'm not going to lecture you, I'm honestly just fascinated that you WANTED to eat! I cried daily the first week because I was so tired of having to have my shakes/protein drinks every couple of hours and I had absolutely no appetite. It was so depressing to me initially to still be cooking for my husband and missing the food I used to eat but having no desire for it whatsoever...I felt like I had lost a friend! LOL But yeah, like the others said, I wasn't allowed soft foods for about 2 week and even then it was hit or miss; 2.5 years post surgery and I still can't eat some of the foods you tried.

And MY doctor is somewhere in the middle of both of yours.... It goes to show you, there is no ONE magic formula or set of rules. If we follow the basics, we can and WILL be successful and, of course, listen to our respective doctors. Great post!

Follow your doctor's rules! CG doctor is HER doctor.

3 days after surgery?? I didn't eat anything solid for weeks.. you need to go back and re-read your post op instructions.. you are still healing and I think eating mac n cheese and cabbage will hinder that....don't hurt yourself...

Awesome !!! Looking forward to many of those days after we are sleeved!!!

No offense was meant, just trying to bring a little humor to post-op life, since it's such an intense and emotionally draining experience. I'm happy for anyone that is working toward their goals and achieving success.

I say I am slow by forum standards, but according to doc and nut I am where I need to be. I work out 5/6 days a week some days I eat 40 carbs some days I eat 80. Some days my calories are less than 800 somedays they are near 1000. I think what people need to remember is our journeys are all individual. I am pleased with MY progress and that is all that matters. Of course the post with someone saying they loss 50lb in 3 months gets attention because pre sleevers hope that will be them and post sleevers are wishing that was them. It just creates a vicious cycle of disappoint. I am not saying that person should not post their success , but people should be realistic and need to understand this process is different for us all. I stopped hanging around the boards because other people's whining about their slow weight loss had me doubting myself!
