aloha to kiki....you were sleeved on the 9th...my dr. is dr. belzberg so I'm thinking we must've been in the hospital at the same time lol what a small world....I guess we will just have to continue being patient

what is the 5 day pouch test?

ALOHA EVERYONE!! Okay I was sleeved on October 8th 2009....I was losing weight on a steady pace....then once I hit a lost of about 30 pounds....it just STOPPED :huh0:. I know I have heard of the stall occuring for about 1-2 weeks....but 3 weeks now? Is this normal....I am hoping that I didn't have this surgery done to only lose 30 pounds....and on top of that I have gained about 2 pounds.....what is going on?? someone please help...I am getting so discouraged now

thank you all for all the advice I'm excited!!! I am so sick of broth and sugar free popsicles and jello LOL I spoke to the nurtrionist yesterday and she said she wanted me to wait until 6-8 weeks to start on the ground meat or boiled eggs but I actually started eating boiled eggs 1 week ago and it was fine....I just had to remember to chew 30 times LOL but went down with no problem

:sad0: OMG the depression is there and I am trying to ignore it I am 4 weeks out and feel very frustrated :cursing: I hate it when I see people just eat normally.....taking regular bites....gulping down drinks.....ugh and to top it all off I got on the scale and I am still at a stall....it's so frustrating.....I told my cousin geezzz I don't know what is worse being frustrated FAT or being frustrated because I can't eat normally!!! Plus I am having such a hard time sleeping lately???? UGH I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO??? I know I should be going to my support group but my support group is at Night and my Husband works at Night and we only have 1 car so that is out of the question......someone please help.....:lol0:

thank you tiffykins.....yeah I have to admit although the Doctor said it was okay for me to have noodles or rice in soup I do tend to stay away or only eat 1 small bite because yes it does end up giving me a tummy ache and that feeling that it's gonna come back up yuck :crying:

Hi I was wondering what suggestions does everyone have for being 4 weeks out now? What exactly is a soft diet? Also has anyone attempted to take a sip of soda(sprite) I am so craving the carbonation I know it is bad for me but all I want is a sip.... any opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated :crying:

I am now on a soft food diet..... but what exactly is a soft food diet? What other things can I add now to my list: mashed potatoes Soups that are blendarized cup of noodles rice in Soup pinto Beans any other suggestions?

I was just wondering what is everyone eating or ate at 3 weeks out? I am hoping to find something else besides Soups that are blended or sugar popsicles or sugar free Jello? Also is it never possible to drink soda again? I am getting bored with same old foods: *blended Soup like chicken noodle(no chicken), vegetable beef (no beef),chicken with rice(no chicken) *sugar free jello *suger free popsicles *mashed potatoes *watered down oatmeal *crystal lite peach iced tea please give me some other options LOL :thumbup1:

yes I completely agree with NOT eating noodles LOL I now I realize what you are saying when you say that they will expand in your stomach.....I didn't have any vomitting....but boy did I feel like it....AND my stomach started hurting :thumbup1: I am just getting so bored with the same old soups (mainly broth) and sugar free popsicles....WHAT IS EVERYONE EATING AT 3 WEEKS OUT?

:scared0: OMG what is up with all the gas..... am I the only one with the problem....I am 2 weeks and 4 days out....but OMG it is crazy :thumbup1:

OMG I had maybe 3 noodles of spaghetti NO meat just very very little sauce....and I know what your talking about.....my stomach is not agreeing with it....so I have really backed off heehee

I am so excited my Doctor said I could have noodles now....(cup of noodles) but I am wondering does this mean any kind of noodles? Like chow mein noodles or spaghetti? I am now 2 weeks and 2 days out and have lost 23 pounds..... any advice?? :cursing:
