So, what can I do to ensure that I don't stall? I can't imagine stalling when I can only eat 1/8 cup for a meal. I guess I still need to count calories,carbs, and fats? I know I will need to exercise..that's a done deal.

Well, I've been overweight since I was 11. Then obese since 28... Now I'm 37 and the highest weight I've ever been. Did WW and lost 13 pounds..which came back because I have no willpower, self-control, etc. I'm sorry..but I think vanity is a GOOD thing. If I'd had enough of it, I probably would have more self-control. VSG is my last resort. Dr. tried to put me on diabetes meds (metformin), but I would rather just get FORCED to be healthy by removing the room that my tummy has. This pre-op diet has been hellacious....but I know it will be worth it in the end... I'm SO excited to find this forum! I needed a place like this :wink0:

I get about 900 cals a day (all full liquids). I walk at least EOD for 20-30 mins. A good 20 pounds has stayed off-the other four yo yo. What gives? I'm not comfortable lowering my cals. I have 4 kids and a house to deal with. Eating less made me SO tired. Any thoughts? I would like to see a little more weight coming off before I hit my 1 month 'surgiversary' on August 10.

First of all, I lost the site. Now I bookmarked it and will be able to get back easily. Secondly, I had a difficult recovery and very tired/lazy...LOL. Stitches didn't 'dissolve' like they said they would. 2 got infected. Finally got them out yesterday and got a penicillin shot.. I'm still on full liquids until Sunday. Now I have a funky achiness in my new tummy area...I think it's from the probiotics-was having a HECK of a time with the bathroom situation. Haven't lost any more weight (actually put 3 pounds back on-but probably water/hydration). I'm only 2 1/2 weeks out, so I'm not worried about weightloss. I finally walked 30 mins last night - for a while I was only able to do 20.

that's true..and it's weight that's gone for GOOD...not WW weight loss that will come back because I binged

I think most VSGers would be really ticked to lose 6 pounds a month...LOL

Ahhh..ok. Need to go multiply those kilos...I think its 2.2 to a pound?

title says it all thanks in advance!

Thank you, too! :thumbup:

excellent! thank you

Potato soup sounds delish! 1/2 carton of Imagine Potato Leek Soup (its smooth and pretty thin...no chunks) Where do I find this?

Maybe the ones that require you to take them on a full stomach? That's why I opted for a penicillin shot the other day.

Thank you!!! That has really helped today :ohmy::thumbup:

Oh good LORD I'm excited about mushies now...LOL

Ricotta is YUMMY..not sure how to describe it ... :thumbup: OMG I love the recipes! Have to save them! YES please elaborate on the tuna recipe!!

THANK YOU!! Ack! Ok..I can't wait to get back to work and get my mind off of all this! LOL Seems like the more I worry, the more I stall. I'll try go to work in more Water during the day.

I'd like to see the scale move a little more..but it's ok. I think I've only lost 2 pounds this week.

You are so sweet! You can't see my fat body in that pic :001_tongue: At first (after the surgery for about a week) I had the 'runs'. At about 2 weeks post surgery I stopped going 'No.2' so I needed to start Probiotics. I don't care for yogurt, so I bought a pill that's supposed to help:thumbup:

Thank you so much, ladies :001_tongue: I'm just keepin on keepin on....

I'm with you on this one.... and LORD you made me hungry with that bean 'recipe'...LOL

I mix my protein drink with non-fat milk to get extra protein. Works well for me :ohmy:

I used to love coffee. Haven't had it since starting the pre-op diet. I do have probs with reflux (still on full liquids here until Sunday). Will the caffeine make my reflux worse?:ohmy:

Can I drown mine in ketchup????? I start mushies/purees on Sunday....I can't wait! I'm really looking forward to Beans.

I was thinking of this today. Have an achiness on my left side under one of my stitches. Kinda feels like gas, but no other symptoms. I did start taking probiotics yesterday...bathroom troubles :ohmy:
