Sleeved on July 15, HW: 272 SW: 252 CW 214. So down 57 from highest weight but only 38 since surgery ! I have been stalked for the last 4 weeks and I'm losing my mind!! Hoping and praying this stall will break soon!

I am using an app on my iPhone called lose it. I live it, I switched to that from my fitness pal. That was great to but this s anther option to use to trak food. It actually has a scanner,So you can scan the barcode on packaged food and it will and it to you daily food intake.

I'm just 3 weeks out, if I gulp anything it hurts! I get to much air and my stomach lets me know it. I personally like the camelback bottles with the attached spout I'd guess you call it. Someone from this site recommended that I try it. I can now get anywhere from 64 -96oz in a day. (32oz bottle)

Ill have to ask my doctor about the carb thing. I was really tired the first few days, but after like day 5 I have been fine. I swear I can't sleep at all at night. I just took Benadryl to hopefully fall asleep at a normal hour. I'm up and moving sound like usual. I went school shopping for my kids today for 3 hours, then took my daughter to a horse farm and walked all over. What type of vitamins are you taking? My only thing is my left side above my incision where she cut through the stomach muscle is still killing me. Every now and then I ave to take a muscle relaxer if I over do it with activity. It's hard I forget I had surgery so I catch myself picking stuff up that I'm not suppose to or bending the wrong way and I get a sharp pain. I hope you get your energy back soon!

I was on the 15. Yesterday was the first day I could actually get down a full protein shake. I was also advanced to soft foods as tolerated. I still have pain around large incision and the bruising is almost gone, and honestly I feel pretty good! My goal today is to get in all my protein and my water!!

I can't wait to try fish or chicken. I figured a meatball was already pretty mushy! I'll try the chicken salad in the bullet as well, still kind of nervous about the chunks. When your full, do you actually feel full like before surgery, or is it something else letting you know enough? I have not felt full, but I get bubbles in my stomach, if I take another bite after that I get a little pain. Do you get that ever?

I think it all depends on how your body heals and your doctors rules. I originally wasn't suppose to start solid foods for another 3 weeks. Today he told me to start puréed and gradually start soft food. I was shocked how quick he pushed me along. I tried an egg was good. Had a meatball was fine. I actually feel better today then I have all week!

Well if it makes you feel any better, I saw my doctor today and he said to start purée food today and gradually move to soft food by this weekend or by next Monday. Well for Breakfast I had a scrambled egg, and for dinner I ate a meatball! There was NO pureeing involved! He told me that the two stages are basically the same and just to make sure that I chew all food very good so it was the consistency of applesauce. Yup I did it.. I broke the rules..

Oh yeah.. Down 10 pounds since surgery on the 15. Total of 26 since my very first weigh in on may 2.
