    Hi everyone, I am 6 days post op and feeling great. Shoulder tip pain was agony in the first 4 days, had only a twinge yesterday and none today so hopefully that's the end of that! I have been on fluid food since the op and move to smooth tomorrow as I feel ready. I look forward to reading your posts and picking your brains as I progress through my weightloss.

    Week 11 stall?

    I think stalls happen at random times and there's not a set schedule. We all have them and talk about them and it's true you just need to keep following the plan and the weight will come off, also measuring inches help too. I think our metabolism gets jacked, so mixing things up can help that (exercise, types of foods, amount of intake, etc). I noticed that I'd stall everytime I worked out during that week and think I'm not getting enough calories or working out to hard. I'm in week 13 and have stalled (for a week) 2x now, but wasn't until later, I'll have a 0 loss week then a random 6lb loss. Keep it up and as easy as it is to say but hard to do....don't get discouraged but I know it's frustrating!

    Stressed!

    I browse Pinterest for healthy recipes! I also lurk on bariatric pal and reply to every post I can. Trying to support others. Also I will eat a sf popsicle of in really needing to munch. We keep at least 2 boxes on hand- that way I get liquids and my sweet fix . So far I haven't had more than 3 in one day. Usually 1. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 200 GW 135

    Energy levels after VSG?

    How are your energy levels in the weeks and months after surgery? I have a very busy fall and I'm worried about having the energy to get my work done. My options are surgery in early August with 2.5 weeks off (but liquid diet for the week of extended family vacation) or mid-August with 1.5 weeks off (still requires a few days of liquid diet on vacation) or wait until next summer, which I don't want to do. My job can be stressful. I can take some half days but I also have some required long days. But if I have to be on the liquid diet during the whole vacation, I will have to tell my whole family and I might be cranky. So my questions are: Will having an extra week to recover help me start back full throttle? So much so that it's worth being on the liquid diet during the whole vacation? How will my energy levels be after a few weeks and months? How long before you could work long days with decent energy?

    Breads Products!

    Honestly? That's what got a lot of us this fat to begin with. I'm planning on avoiding those foods as much as I can til I'm in maintenance. They're trigger foods for me. My nutritionist/surgeon puts their patients on a strict low-carb, high-protein plan, and that seems to be the case for most bariatric patients, from my research.
