Thank you wheetsin ! Not much fits better either I'm just overall glass half empty right now I guess. It is sooo discouraging not seeing results after everything I have gone through.

Thank you for that moment of sanity !!! I have overall lost only 5 lbs since the date of my surgery so I am pretty damn frustrated overall. I am trying to keep the faith here but it is so difficult .....

yeahhhhh GO YOU !!!!!

So me, like I am sure a lot of you, got excited when I could eat actual food !! I am 14 days out today. I tried tuna salad -prepared in the can w crackers. Well, I don't quite know when I feel full yet, man I know now ! I ate wayyyyyy too much (1/2 the small can) and I was almost violently ill ! Bad nausea , ick...so I have come to the conclusion that 1...I have had a crash course in "full" and I cannot just hop right into food again. I took it easier for dinner and had some ricotta, cheese, sauce and mozzarella, like a mock lasagna and I ate only about 1/4 cup, maybe less .... Any ideas for food in general, I can tell this is going to be slow and get old fast before I can eat "normally" again.

Thank you ! GREAT suggestions. I want to ry your snack, it sounds great. Where does one find SF syrups ?

Hey Lissa, how do I add a friend on myfitnesspal?

That is great ! Thank you ...I will add you ....if I can figure out how lol

Thank you that is excellent information !!!

Our bellies are still pissed off because we separated them with their larger half !! Mine makes a lot of noise too I am two weeks out! I thought I was hungry too but it is gas and gurgling and all kinds of good stuff your belly is now trying to process. We are good just keep on truckin'. I too am still tired ...hang in there !!!

I have been looking online and it seems to me that the breakdown of "recommended" is: Calories 600-800 calories/day Protein 65-80 grams/day 40 g carbohydrates/day 30 gm Fat/day Water not with food ! 64oz/day Someone please let me know if this is about accurate .... thanks

Thank goodness ! I am two weeks out and have only lost 5 lbs !!! THIS concerns me. Maybe I will lose more soon ?!?! I am soooooo discouraged right now. I just started some actual "food" today so maybe I need some in order to lose some weight because I functioned on liquids for two weeks ?

Well, today was my first post-op appointment. I am 13 days today. Everything is good, except for I have only lost 5lbs since surgery :0( I am trying so hard to keep the faith. Is there anything I can do ? I just got the ok to add food to my diet...soft foods and the like as tolerated. I had some cream of wheat today, let me tell you it was the BEST cream of wheat I have EVER had !!! Any tips to speed up or enhance the weight loss ?

I'm in Fort Worth,so we are pretty close ! Yes I am def learning about being healthy everyday. I cheated and had a lick of mashed potatoes yesterday , LOL I can't wait till Thursday..eggs will have never tasted so good !

HELP !!!! I am 12 days post op and I have stalled ALREADY !!!!! Is this normal ? Am I not eating enough maybe ? I don't have a "set" eating schedule. I have a Protein shake AM and PM, Soup popsicles Water etc in between. Am I expecting too much too soon !!!!

Oh thank goodness ! I go back to work next week and tried some stuff on, BIG mistake. Almost started crying !!! I cannot wait to get under 200 !! Of course I stall at 203 and holding , grrr.... Thanks ladies !! I'm trying to keep my head up ! We can do this AND get over these stalls !!!

My boss new because we are a relatively small company. My in-house HR approves my FMLA so I had no choice. A few co-workers know but everyone else knows I had surgery...period. I took two weeks off. I could probably go back next week, but I'm not !!!

OMG thank you, I was wondering what was going on w me. I am so ready to go anytime now. I feel like when I was 20 again !!! Look what I have been missing for so long !

I am now 10 days post-op and I am tolerating protein drinks with no problem and getting in two shakes a day, so that is about 60 grams of protein. Plus water, which I am not successful in getting in at least 48 oz. I am so afraid of stretching my sleeve !! Am I doing this right ???

JUST filled easter baskets, it killed me !!! I am 11 days out and would love some food also !!! Ugh

I am 10 days post op. I am on full liquids which include broth, cream soups, crystal light, water, protein shakes, sf popsicles, sf fudgcicles,diluted tomato soup, meat soups,strained....I'm "dealing" it sucks but I am trying to focus on the prize !!!!

SO I was sleeved on March 28th. So far, I have had my two protein shakes a day without issue. The last two days have been awful. I can barely get one shake down, it makes me nauseated. What is going on ?

Yes I would say so. Now today is day 9 and I have a LOT more energy ! What a difference each day makes. Listen to your body...it will push back !!!

When can I have a glass of wine ? I am 8 days Post-Op? Also...thinking of returning to work earlier than planned. Good or bad idea ?

I am working on just moving in general. I bursts of energy but then I get a bit lightheaded and slightly winded and need to sit a while then I get back up and do stuff and get in 30 min walk a day....It's hit or miss I think. I am 8 days post op

Thanks about the wine, I will ask. I "took" 18 days off. I have a desk job where I am up and down and I do walk around sometimes. Also, I do find 8 days post op once I do things like my walk and or a little housework, I get a little winded and dizzy. Is that normal ? I may wait the full two weeks. I am feeling pretty well, but I am afraid of getting dizzy at work from doing too much.
