Today I am one month post-op and have only lost 17 pounds. !4 of that was lost in the first 14 days after surgery so in the last 2.5 weeks i have only lost 3 pounds. It is very discouraging as little as I am eating. Just dont know what to do.

my doctor said that we dont get dumping syndrome with the sleeve..how are you with milk products,,,he said it was more likely to develope lactose intolerance. I would definately bring it up with your doctor if it continues. good luck

Donny...would be fun to have a get together in austin sometimes..going to a support group tonight..after i get to know some people maybe we can do that!

Support Group tonight, Wens. Nov 12th, at North Austin Medical Center room 2-A for more info call 9012005 is from 6-7:30. hope to see some of you guys there!

austin here as well...was sleeved on the 19th of nov. Starting the support groups this month...excited to make friends that are traveling the same road:)

Th anks so much for all the support and advice...this is a fantastic site...what wonderful folks here!

i bought the zumba cd's! i will get on that !

thanks

thank you linda i was also curious...i was much heavier than you but its good to get an idea...your looking pretty good to me

i came back in 2 weeks but my job is alot of up and down. Im doing ok but the fist day i almost fainted but my nut said it was because i was starving myself...I bout the premeir Protein shakes from SAMS that have 30 grams pf protein in them...been drinking tywo a day and feel much better but still tired. If you have a desk job 2 weeks should be plenty. If your job is real active you might want to try and take 3 and do what they tell you to get in your Proteins and Fluid. I regret not getting it in like i was supposed to. good luck ~kris

Thanks guys...i just wanted to cry when i got on the scale. Im so hungry for real food but im afraid to eat anything. im on purees this week but i cant hardly handle most pureed food...i cant do the texture of pureed chicken made me want to puke. Ive been eating cream soups and mashed potatoes and pureed refried beans...they brought some of those bite sized broccolli and egg quiche to work and i had one for breakfast 2 days in a row...flaked most the crust off so seriously how much could be in one of those. I cant wait to get to real food. Is anyone here on My Fitness Pal that keeps the food diary on there. I just joined but would love to see what people eat.

Was feeling very week im on day 24 post-op and felt like fainting on Monday when I started back to work. My Nut said I wasnt getting enough calories that he didnt want me counting carbs , calories nothing. He said he wanted me eating cream soups, protein drinks anything to stay hydrated. Ok, I did this and I gained 3 pounds in 3 days. I am suppossed to start soft foods next week. I just feel like this isnt working:(

thank you all...i will start pushing those fluids...is not easy but will shoot for it starting tomorrow

me too....i didnt feel that bad at home...but i am up and down alot at work and i just want to lay down. thank you...i know my protein is lacking...guess i didnt relise just how important it was
