Wow what a sucess! Give us what you are eating now??

My surgeon is really against them. What you to get your protien from food. Dr. Garth Davis in Houston. Beans fruits and veggies and some meat. They do taste horrible!

I was terrified the night before surgery. So hard to explain. Happy at the same time! Its normal hard to explain to your spouse or anyone you just have to go through it and get to the other side!! Good Luck first couple of week are the most overwelming and then you get your act together and it gets easier. I am 7 weeks out.

SERIOUSLY!! TMI!!

That seems extreme to me not enough protien or calories. You are definetly in a starvation mode. Think you need to up the protein to at least 60 gram and calories 600-800. If you read the posts here I think most would agree. I eat every 3 hours something really small 2-3 oz. I think it help keep your metabolizism up?! Just saying.........

Seriously, one dsy at a time we will all make it together if you look at all the successes on this site. Let them inspire you we all have a great chance to change of health and our lives lets sieze the moment for real!!

I was sleeved on Dec 13 have lost about he sae since surgery and I felt so overwelmed in the beginning. It is getting better everyday and we are looseing!! We will all make to the end together! Take a day at a time...........

Thanks for the post made me smile can't wait to feel that way! I feel great no problems getting use to it all, it is alot to handle but I feel so much better already. Sleeved Dec 13th they are not kidding when they say it is a journey I finally understand that! Thanks for the post very honest and positive!!

We all wish we had that problem ! Take your vitamins and enjoy the ride. You will hit a stalls so don't worry~

It think most would like you to keep it around 50 in the beginning . I think I broke my stall by keeping it under that.

Is it going to be on Feb 13th?I have an appointment for my two month check up with my surgeon in Houston.

Hi sleeve girl, I live in austin had my surgery in Houston by Dr. Garth Davis. I heard about the support group at St.David's at a support group I went to at Seaton. They said it was a good one. Their was only 5 people at the Seaton one I am going to try to make it look forward to meeting you! Hope theire will be more austin gals.

Fantastic!

I am thrilled scale is moveing there is hope for all our December sleevers! What I did is cut out all carbs for 2 days started drinking water through a really thin straw was easier to get the water in scale has moved 3 lbs. Gosh! just hope I did not jink myself, starting to smile again! 5 weeks out started adding regular food . Have had no problems....Had some salmon last night . Think it is going to be alot easier getting the protien in now! So excited!! Hang in everyone , I think they are right it will happen, the scale will move again. What a relief!!

I am 4 weeks out going on 5 . Just saw may primary doctor yesterday. I am still on some of my bp meds. If the stystolic drops under ninety that is to low you could pass out. Your diastolic should not drop below 60. So you really need to watch it! They have taken me off most of my bp meds but still on some. My surgeon took me off all in the beginning but my cardio is tapering me off more slowly. Good Luck!

Undercover what a great post! So informative..........I am going to try to make a few changes to break that stall, you were very helpful! Just want to see the scale move I am motivated and doing really good pysically just went that needle doesn't move it messes with you. Even after reading it is normal. Just shouldn't be after what we have been through to get here! Hugs

I am a month out and I stopped taking the iron supplement because it made me so constipated it was awful! Anyone with a good solution. I tried stool softners ducolax prunes. Finally go things moving better afraid of the iron!

My doctor told me not to use my machine in the hospital because the pressure would blow into the new sleeve. I have not used it since for the same reason did not want to chance a leak. I am 1 month out. My husband said he does not hear me snore, can't really understand if this could be possible but I think it might be! AMEN

Ricotta bake? What's that? I'm a month out too stalled and going nuts!

Next couple of days especially when you get home are kind o rough but we have all been there! Hang in!

Sorry for the spelling should have check my post before I posted!!

Thanks Jalese, I just think it help know where your starting from post op or from the you actuaL. Surgery day thanls for being so upfront appreciate it so much. How long have you heard can the stalls take?

Seriously this makes more since, thanks for responding. Make a big differance on how you feel with all these huge loss numbers coming out to realize many are post surgery losses included not just post op from surgery date. Makes me feel a a bit better. Someone must have an definative answer on how to break a stall how long can they last. It's just driving me nuts! Thanks for he info on the shakes you tried the samples and they were good you say not thick like the whey shakes?

Great advice!

cygnusatratus, What is the brands of the products you mentioned? And wher can you get them?
