Yes be patient. I was sleeved on the 8th and I haven't lost in a week and a half. Continue to follow your doctors guidelines and you will be losing again soon. We both have to be patient while our bodies adjust.

I started soft food today, still only eating chicken, but it was so good and juicy!! For some reason the blender made it so dry and I had to bbq sauce it up to make it wet lol. Anyway, What else did you eat on soft foods that is high in protein but not carbs?? Fish and eggs I know but what else?? Any suggestions??

WOW!! You are doing fabulous!! What else are you doing? Are you walking?

I was 5 in 1990 There is NO WAY you look old enough to have been getting married in 1990. YOU LOOK FABULOUS THOUGH!!!

I feel full the same as I always did, feel like I ate a whole buffet. This is after 1-2 ounces

I have been struggling with protein drinks. All the ones I have taste ok, maybe even good, but they make me feel awful!!! Like after 30 minutes of drinking about 4oz of one I have to lie down and rest until my body recovers. Well anyway, I am on purees and am allowed blended chicken, and my large chicken breasts have about 90 grams of protein each. I am going to boil then blend one each morning, I have some bbq sauce and italian dressing and a few other ways to dress up my chicken. I will eat on each breast through out the day. I am a sahm so it's pretty easy for me to not have to eat on the run all the time. I have been eating a little chicken for the past couple days and it has went great so today I am going to do the whole breast throughout the day. Anyone else done this?

OK This is my first post-op challenge.... I am so new at being post op so I am just gonna throw a number out there and see what happens LOL SW...................CW.......................Labor Day Goal......................Pounds to Goal 239.................239...........................199................................................40................

My blender has a puree setting. I use the blend setting for the chicken tho

I can't have veg or fruit yet unless pureed, and protein comes first anyway. This seems to be working for me.

The info I found said 7 grams per once, so for the pack of chicken I got each breast is about 90 grams. Yesterday I blended up one of these and put it in a bowl and made it into about 6 or 7 servings. Protein shakes make me feel so bad, I cannot finish 1 without having to lay down for an hour or 2 after.

I have been hot! Cool or cold would be a welcome change this summer

Is it normal to stalll 1 week out? I am 10 days out and have been stalled since day 7. Getting in almost 60 ounces of water daily but need to step up the protein

Thanks guys! I am sure I knew all that but mind is going crazy! Its so hard to weigh once per week. Working on protein and water today.

I lost 12 pounds in those 7 days

Adri- I am 7 days post op and had lost 12 pounds but gained 2 today.

It takes me over an hour to drink a 8 ounce protein shake. This is normal right? I am so tired after drinking for over an hour!

I walked a mile tonight without getting nauseous! And I haven't had my nausea medicine since 11 am! Woo Hoo so excited!

I walked about half a mile yesterday without any problem but I took a small break half way. This morning I didn't take a break and had to vomit on the way back. There was nothing to come out so I just stood there heaving. I made it back home ok but it was bad for a minute.

I get kinda car sick too, my meds for nausea help though. I am walking 1/2 a mile 2x per day.

Just vomited again. Have only had one dose of nausea Med so far. I will take more in. 1.5 hours. Hope I am done with this phase soon! Haven't taken any pain med since I have home

I vomited old blood and slimy stuff. Yuck ! Doc said its ok and called in something for nausea for me to get tomorrow.

Nausea and a tiny bit of pain. How long does the nausea last?
