Almost 2 months out post op and I'm hitting another stall?! Could it be I'm not eating enough or right foods. ?? Suggestions welcome

I'm 5 weeks & lost 47 since day 1 - 7 was prior to surgery! Best of luck to everyone!

When's it okay?

Your doing good! Don't compare to everyone else! Higher weights loose fast and lower BMI (weight is lower) you loose slower! Be patient with it! I was 266 starting out and I'm 219 now! It's been almost 2 months! Just keep eating right and exercising and it will come off before u know it! Good luck!

I am 5 weeks out too sorry failed to add that!

I was just saying to myself that I was struggling getting all of my protein in too - meats are gross - yogurts nasty - cheese, well, I burnt myself out the first few days of my 3 rd week! So I am right there with you! Everything does not taste good or right but I too have heard it will be like that for several months and then back to normal! I am drinking "total lean " Swiss chocolate from GNC (they're online if there isn't one close to u) - they're lactose free too! They run about $ 9.99 for 4 pre made drinks and they're good! I drink 2 of those and there is 25 g of protein per container! 170 calories! But I will add finding buddies to help along with ideas is great too! Myfitnesspal is a great way to hold yourself accountable along with getting ideas from food journals ! So just a few ideas but it will get better for us I know ! U can find me on fitness pal - SNKEMS333 ! Good luck!

Posted on July 4th at 236lbs hoping to be down to 216 by September 3rd! I'm almost there ! Weighed in today at 219.5! Yay! 16.5 down! Go me!

When we're ya sleeved? Dr Mailapur in Huntsville is the best ! His team is AMAZING! I was sleeved on 6.18.12

I was sleeved on 6.18.12 and I am down 43 lbs. SW was 266 now CW is 223 ! I lost 7 pre op and 35 post op! What's everyone's eating patterns?

Is it okay to take pills for constipation?

Well I've ate nuts I do like them! Chicken, ugh my sleeve doesn't like it anymore! I'm a month and a week out and my daily intake consists of cheese , nuts protein shakes, milk , kidney beans, refried beans - kashi almond flax bars - almonds that's it! I've ate tuna and tilapia a few times a week! I love salmon but can't seem to find a good place to get it where it's not dry- other than dining out! Ideas are welcome ! Thanks for ideas so far I will use some of the ideas!

Strange feeling today ... Fingers asleep and I'm freezing ... Don't know anyone had this feeling? I'm a month out and not been sick at all ! Now ughh

My surgeon didn't allow me to swim until 2 weeks post op! Keep in mind you don't want to be in large areas of water with your incisions still healing! Your more prone for infection!

On the chip aisle?

Black bean chips?? Where can those be purchased?? My addiction is mini saltines n pretzels

Would it cause a fever?

Chicagochic - how far out are u

Your body has a lot going on! It's asking itself lots of ?'s! Be patient! I was there! I'm a month out &around 2-3 weeks I had no movement in my weight! But then it was 2 sudden drop then 2 More! Ive lost 26 lbs in a month! It will come as soon as its ready too! BM are a problem for me too! So just let your body get used to your sleeve! Best of luck

Yes or no

I'm a month out today - anyone started doing crunches at this time? Exercise !

Hey what is everyone eating ? Enjoying now more than ever? Loved about their sleeve?

It is going great thank you! My sleeve has been very kind! No sickness! No problems whatsoever ! Blessing to say the least! Having to control my eating - love grill chicken and chili! Turkey chili how's that!?

I know really I should be more worried about protein than carbs but I must say...I hear people talking all the time of how they are only getting 13 - 18 carbs....??? how if you are drinking milk?

Don't feel like your the only one loosing slow! It had me thinking earlier on that it was going to be easier to loose, but I haven't lost in 8 days! Ughhh it's frustrating

I was sleeved on 6.18.12 and ive lost 20 lbs. It has got up to 25 lbs but it seems i gain i loose i gain i loose.... so im assuming im doing things wrong~
