Yes we have to be patient. I was about to lose it when I gained back 5 pounds in the last 5 days but the doctor said to me that my body is adjusting to the change and to give it some time well today I got on the scale and I had lost 3lbs of those. so we have to be very patient We can do this guys let's not give up so soon.

I'm down 28lbs just had my second visit Doc says i'm doing great I will start my regular foods on Monday. all is well no mayor complaints only thing is the big incision is still sore when I sit and stand but I'm ok with that.

Just came back from the doctor and he said that thisis normal when TOM is near not to worry it will all regulate soon enough i'm 4 weeks out.

This is week 4 for me post op I was down 28 pounds and I've gained 5 back I hope this is whats happening to me since my time of the month is due on the first or second week of december I'm eating as I am told my water intake give or take is 40oz a day and the protein is welllll maybe 40 I can't do more than that hope this is going to work for me I'm have my 2nd check up tommorow.

Lucky you Terry I gained another pound but I think is because my TOM is coming and I'm retaining fluids.

This is my first day back it feels kinda weird having to measure out food and liquids I'm in the soft stage and its so difficult to find foods I can eat I have to remember to bring lunch tommorow. So far I've had 1 scramble egg for Breakfast and 2oz mash potato with 1oz of very soft turkey breast. as of liquids I've done only 25oz I'm stuffed don't know how I can keep my Protein and liquids count for the day i'm 21 days post-op and I need advice because it's so hard to do. Another question have any of you guys had very dry mouth in the mornings and feel lightheaded before having your Vitamins is this normal?? thanx guys I have tons of question but I don't want to overwhelmed with all of them but I do love this forum and want to keep in touch as much as I can

Than you I do have a smarthphone I will try it out. and thanx for the list I will try this also.

I'm Nov 5th also I have lost 26 pounds but since 5 days I have not lost a pound and even gained 1 pound i'm hoping my body figures things out soon because I don't want to get frustrated. I'm having trouble with liquids and Protein shakes I try to have my 3 puree/soft foods a day and drink as much as I can but the Proteins are so heavy is so hard to get them down I prefer diet juices and my favorite plain old Water. My 2nd check-up is on the 29th. PS: Is anyone feeling really thristy when they wake up and lightheaded before there Vitamins???

Thanx guys. Today I started soft foods according to my NUT will see how that goes

Hi all im 15 days post op and im on the purse stage. Im really pruning out of ideas I started mash and sweet potato purse I did ham and cheese purse but I need some suggestions. Im worried because I started this stage and my weight loss is stalled and I gained a pound im 27 pounds down and im not sure if im doing something wrong. Today I think I messed up I had turkey chilling but since it was so soft I chewed the heck out of it and didn't purse it went down fine but im scared im doing this wrong. Any advise is appreciated. Thanx guys!!!!

I know it's going to happen but so soon. I've lost 28 pounds and it has been 4 days without loosing a pound and I fluctuate from 27 to 28 pounds. I'm in the puree stage and not sure what I'm doing for this to happen I have my 2nd appt on the 29th. Just needed to vent.

thanx guys I'm still at the same weight I'm going for my 2nd chek-up on thursday and I'll discuss with the doctor and nut. What I am noticing is that I can almost drink normally my sips are not gulps but I can drink more not sure if that has to to with it but yes I will put the scale away
