Congrats on the weightloss!!! You're doing great! I don't know if you like chocolate but there are "no sugar added" fudgesicles. Also you can take pepperonis and microwave them til they're crispy and they're like chips. SJ had me try that minute maid 15 calorie lemonade and it tastes like a treat.

Yay!!! Pooping is like a little blessing straight from the angels' wings. The liquid protein shakes make me poop. Just figured that out.

Unfortunately, I understand. But, as you'll be told, it'll get better. Hang in there.

My ass is so saggy in these!!! I don't even know what size to buy. I bet I'm 2 sizes smaller

Guys, try bariatric fusion soft chews. They are like a starburst. Chewy but they don't stick to your teeth. Plus, they are the first vitamin that I can take and not wanna hurl Bc of nausea

Mine was laparoscopic and when I woke in recovery I was in so much pain I thought they made some type of mistake and something went wrong. This was my 5th surgery and I've never been in that amount of pain in my life.

I bent and ripped internal scar tissue that caused a very significant amount of pain and I'm on 3 different meds Bc of severe nausea. That being said, I'd still do this operation a million times over. Small price to pay. I'm off BP meds and meds that controlled neuropathic pain from spinal stenosis. I've lost almost 30 pounds in 7 weeks (50 total) and feel like I actually have a future.

I really thought I'd miss drinking while I ate. It really doesn't bother me. I don't get in as much liquid as I did Bc I'd guzzle throughout my meal and refill my drink at least once. But it doesn't bother me and I don't really miss it. It's just more of an inconvenience of sorts. Lol

Sounds like you're not eating enough for the calories you're burning. I'd definitely ask a vet.

Wow, at 2 weeks I was still on full liquids. Then 3 weeks of puréed. Then soft foods. There is no way I could get ANYTHING other than full liquids in at 2 weeks out

I'm 6 weeks out and can barely get 3 ounces of tuna salad in and it's soft. If I were to eat chicken breast etc it's more like 2

I'm really trying not to buy new clothes but I'm lucky. I have a friend who had the sleeve and is a few sizes below me so she gives me the things she's outgrown. Lol. I am going to have to buy new panties, though. Instead of them going OUT with my big tummy, my tummy has shrunk so they go UP. Seriously. Talk about granny panties!!!

6 weeks out and finally have energy. This is a major surgery. It takes a while to bounce back from any surgery. They just removed 85% of a major organ. Take it slow and easy. At first your body is in shock and trying to get used to surviving on so few calories.

I had to drink more and raise my calories to start losing again after my stall. I try and get 800 and it's hard to get that much at this point, but if I get 600 and then exercise and burn 500 I'd only have 100 left to try and get through my day. Ain't gonna work.

Not a requirement for me

Thank goodness you're feeling better!! Slow or fast, we all get there as long as we follow the plan

Yup. And pooping helps. Staying regular keeps everything moving along

I eat fatty stuff and lose the next day. Like sausage and bacon. Or a hot link. Not often, but sometimes. I eat too few calories and stall out. Ugh.

Oh you'll know. You're not gonna stretch it by drinking too much. It'll just splash back up. Lol

Awesome Jen!!! Congrats one reaching ONEderland!!!

I was stalled for 2 weeks starting right at my 3rd week after surgery. Cool thing was that I had kept up taking my measurements and the inches were still melting off during my stall.

I'll eat a string cheese or half a sugar free pudding if I feel like that. If I don't eat and just go to bed I wake up with hunger about 4am.

I tried it. It hurt so bad that I haven't tried it again.

I'm almost 7 weeks out and I can only drink ice cold drinks. And never Water. I get sick from plain water. Usually I pour Lipton's diet green tea berry over ice and that's my go-to. And I'm only getting 40-50 ounces. Sometimes I can drink. Sometimes I can't. Just the way it is. Your plight sounds very normal to me. It's a journey, not a race. Take it day by day and do what you can. On full liquids I was lucky to get in 2 ounces at first. But... Like you'll hear over and over again, it gets better. April
