Not gonna lie im almost 5 months out and i have liquid days. Not because I'm trying so hard to lose weight but sometimes i just can't do solids. Sometimes i feel tight early and can only do Water, shakes and tea. So I'll do that and my next meal I'll do dense Protein. And sometimes i can't finish the same amount as i did the day before but it's ok. Part of the process i guess. Im usually ok just up my shakes for that day and drink more water. I don't push it. Next day i get back into it best i can. Just gotta go with the flow. But still do what you need to do for you. I try to eat when im hungry unless that takes too long. If im not thinking about it ill completely forget or neglect the fact i need to eat. Sometimes i just really don't feel like eating. When that happens if im not actively hungry I'll wait it out a bit. If i start to feel sick i know i waited too long and will drink a bottle of water before my next meal to start my system. It just feels better, like I've woken my system to receive food. If i don't its hard to get much anything in and it isn't comfortable for my stomach.

March 13th here!!

Same here sleeved 2/8 i can down things so quickly without any discomfort. I can down a bottled water in like a .5 hr, even with soups/soft food. I feel like im getting more down than i should but hey im still taking in way less than before surgery

You may be being paranoid, but you have the right to ask questions. When is your f/u appt? Just be frank with your Dr then

@swimbikerun - loved that analogy! Definitely trying to be nice and build him up slowly. We took a few more rests and walked most of the way after he laid down.

To break my stall, I upped my calorie intake. I was actually eating ice cream and still losing weight.

I noticed the same thing.....

My process from start to finish took about the same amount of time. On my day of surgery it will have been almost 11 months to the day of the beginning of my process. It takes a minute. But it will be well worth it! I promise. I'm on day 9 of my liquid diet and am just as anxious as I was forever ago. My nerves are just sitting in now.

No filter...but, I'm on blood thinners...I've had clots and one broke off and lodged in my heart....I had heart revascularization surgery & that's the only thing that saved me...only steps from a filter. This is my main reason for WLS surgery.
