Well I am still for the 3rd week in a row fluctuating between 147.5 and 149. I am so discouraged. Why take out my band to just not finish losing what I need to. My doc said it would take me no Time And I am getting so mad honestly. Ugh I could scream. I had one egg with chicken meat in it or breakfast with a slice of laughing cow cheese lunch was a chicken thigh small with some green beans and mashed potatoes maybe ate 1/2 c to 3/4. Snack two Vienna sausages and 1/2 a fiber bar dinner chicken enchiladas and cottage cheese equaling 1/2c or lil more. 1/4 c peanuts for snack. 1c milk with protein shake and that's it.... What am I doing wrong??!!!

Hey everyone I am looking for people around my same time frame of surgery to kind of comPare how we are all doing Individually. Until this past week I was struggling majorly with food and such. I started eating peanuts to help with my protein intake. I am on soft foods and I don't eat only three times a day just yet because I am trying to get calories in. I have been at a stall for weeks now . I was a band to sleeve revision and started at a low BMi with the sleeve but still the scale hasn't moved in weeks. How much are you all eating? I notice I can eat faster now and more dense foods.

Thank you for the encouragement I will keep an eye on everything

Not alone yay. My stall has lasted 3 weeks I would say. I was sleeved on 3/16. I have lost 14 lbs. please tell me this isn't it. I started at a 30 BMi but I was a band to sleeve revision. The doc told me it wouldn't take long to lose it all. Well to me I keep reading how great everyone does and I want to see my scale move too.

I would skip the grilled cheese until a later date. Also I too have been at a stall for maybe 3 weeks. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Very frustrating. I was a low BMi to start with from band to sleeve but still I would expect to have lost lots more. Since before surgery and now I have lost 14. I see all these amazing weight losses and I get very discouraged.

Sounds like you are doing great!! Congrats to you!!!

I too am super obsessed with the scale. I noticed one of you said no rice last week I had a little with my beans and chicken. I did ok with it but will stay away from it from here on out. I really need to focus on all the healthy snacks again. I started letting myself have things with more calories because I was getting maybe 300 a day in. I hope I haven't given myself a leak, but in sure I would know if I did. I have had shoulder pain the past two days but I think it's just gas because I have woken up burping. Anyone else?!

I had acid reflux horribly with my band, but thankfully not with the sleeve. My doctor has his patents take dexilant I believe is the name of it after surgery for a while. I can honestly say it does wonders. My newest thing is craving peanuts. Honey roasted. I know it's not the best but I too have struggled with calorie intake and etc. I need to work on my fluid intake. How often do you eat since we are still early out and trying to keep a daily goal of protein amounts?!

Thank you so much for your response yea it worked great for me then I gained 30 back the past two years because it just stopped. how about food???!!!! What are you eating? How much wtc?! Congrats on your weight loss!!! Doing great:)

Thank you for the info. Luckily I did chew them and made them mushy...

I am starting 5 weeks today. I have bad shoulder pain today so I am wondering if I over ate and opened up my stomach. I can eat one egg and maybe 4 Vienna sausages different times of course. I had a few chips and salsa yesterday at th restaurant maybe 5 but chewed them very well. How do I know if I am over eating? I really need to up my calories and protein so is it okay that I am eating every couple of hours? Mushy foods stage. I have lost 14 since surgery. Past 3 weeks the scale hasn't moved I am a low BMi to start with revision from band to sleeve. I am 148 now and am wondering if I will lose this extra weight and get to my 120 goal. Don't want this surgery to have Been a waste for me...... Help!!!! What I'd you all eat at 5 weeks as such??? Stalls etc?!?!

I did the other day and it went away. Could have just been something you ate.

This is wonderful news to hear!!!!

Salad???!!!! Oh I would love one. My doc says still be on puréed. I will say though I get dumping a lot when I eat. It's weird. I am going to try to get more creative. Beef jerky??!! I am so jealous. You can eat all the good things....

Me too ladies. I did notice though that I get nauseous with everything I eat it seems. 4 weeks out I have dumping symptoms they said. I will sweat Nd feel sick for ten minutes

I am day 27 so right with you. What are you eating now? I have been a slow loser lost 14 since surgery including preop. I did start with a 30 BMi but still. I am able to eat okay now just wanted to know why everyone eats. I may get in 500 cal a day. I try though for more.

Thank you. Any info is helpful and keeps me going!

That's great

Oh wow that's great. We're you a slow loser?

Read this and thought maybe I had started this topic lol. I am 4 weeks started stalling at 3. I too am not losing. I did start with a low BMi but still. I have only lost 14 since surgery. Started at 163 now I am 149. Whoa just typing that made me realize I am doing okay. Hmmmm well guess the stall is what is bothering me the most. Help'nb

Two weeks out I too started getting so nauseous any time I took my liquid vitamin. I threw it out today just thinking of it now makes me gag. I started taking two flintstones in the am and two in the pm. Just to help myself until I heal more . I am on week 4.

Starting BMi was 30. I hope your right. I am glad too though that it isn't extremely drastic. I need to increase the fluids. I will work on that starting tomorrow. Ty so much for your info

Thank you. I am trying to stay positive. Would live to lose weight been stuck for two weeks. Started low BMi but still. Hope adding more calories helps

I am 4 weeks out and low BMi but can't lose weight. I have been stuck between 149.5 and 148 for almost two weeks. Did you have a hard time losing.? I am on puréed now maybe adding calories will help

Puréed seems to be working fine for me finally. Yay. I have added a few little crackers here and there makes me feel better
