So I had surgery on December 30 and I can eat whatever I want. I only lost 30lbs and I'm between 181-178.. It sucks. So today I started my phase one liquid diet and I have to say I wasn't hungry or craving food . Hopefully this will work to put me back to weight loss

I am sure you are laughing at my title but hear me out... I had surgery December 30th. I'm on phase 2 and having a really hard time getting Protein in and my Vitamins. The most protein I've gotten is 25g. I am not a Protein shake woman. I tried them all and I hate them all. I want to gag just thinking about it. Same thing with the vitamins I barely take them. I am sick of Greek yogurts. I am also disappointed that I'm on a stall and not losing anything. Today I went to my grocery store and I bought baby food. Yes you heard correct. I got this brand called Beech Nut and I got the chicken and chicken gravy and I have to say that I loves it. It has 7g of protein for 2.5oz... Not bad at all and 0 carbs 70 calories. I also got sweet cord which only had 2g of protein. Do you guys thing it's bad to eat it at least until phase 3 where I can have Protein Bars which will be easier to get the protein?!

FYI I don't eat more than 50 carbs a day and that's the most. Usually it's been 30-40. So yea ummmm thanks

This becoming a big deal. Most of you knew what I meant. The point of this was to 1. Get advise for someone who is in my shoes 2. Help someone who's going through the same thing. I am 176 today and that's because of the liquid diet. So for those who asked, I would suggest you start liquid diet if you want to break your stall ... Just because I had surgery does not mean my food cravings went away. I still crave pizza and I had and so what? I am happy now and by eating whatever I want means I have a 5oz yogurt where as people here say they can barely have few spoons. I can drink Water normally, I can eat fish, chicken-dry and again no problem. Have a good night and good luck! D

K cool

ThNk you!!! I was just gonna say that. Who said we were eating junk food? I am just trying to say that I can eat more than 4 ounces. I don't hAve to take sips and I only drink water, no sugar liquids. Did I try pizza? Yes I have . Can I eat more than 4 ounces? Yes! All I eat is healthy food which doesn't bother my stomach. I know I started with 213 and my doc said I won't lose as fast as others who are heavier and I was stuck at 178-180 for like 3 weeks so I started my liquid diet again to help the weight loss. Ohh and my last doc check up apparently I have this bacteria I forgot what is called but it makes u bloated and slows the weight loss. Next month is my 3 month check up and they will be giving me antibiotics. It's funny how people judge others so fast. Just bc I can't lose 50lbs in one month does not mean I'm eating junk! and I understand mamato2. Thank you for answering her question for me ... We are on the same boat.

I gain too so this is my second day

2 months ago I had the sleeve. I am 179 now. Lost 30lbs. I have tried every food they said my stomach will reject. Did I even get sleeved? Uhg lol

I am glad I am not the only one. Even pizza goes down easily. I don't eat a lot of course but I am shocked lol. Oh I haven't tried soda and I don't plan on it. I was 213 on day of surgery decker 30 and as of today I am 179

Yesterday was my 1 month check in at the doc and apparently I got that bacteria in my tummy. Since I'm still healing, after my 3month appointment, I will have to take antibiotics for 2 weeks.. I was told with this kind of bacteria you get bloated and much harder to lose weight. I lost 30lbs since December 30. SW 214 CW 183 GW 125 Blah so sad

So it's been a month since surgery and I can't complain besides not being able to go to the bathroom. So like everyone who recommended I bought milk of magnesia. I had it 2 weeks ago and I gagged horribly. But it did help using the bathroom. 2 nights ago I took it before I went to bed since I am at work and school all day. Once again I gagged washed my teeth and the taste went away. This night I had nightmares about food. I was eating lots of pizza(my favorite) and kept telling myself wow this is not hurting my sleeve.. Then I started eating lots and lots of sweets. OMG they all tasted sooo good.. I can't remember exactly the last dream but I woke up because I almost chocked on my throw up.. It was water but I thought I was going to die. It only happened that night. Do you guys think this is dangerous? Should I be worried? Could it be from milk of magnesia?

I stalled right after my first week. For 12days I didn't lose anything and then boom 10lbs gone.. Then on the 4th week again and in 2 days lost 3lbs. Just relax you will lose

I tried it and loved it. Congrats btw

Had surgery December 30th and I lost a total of 23 lbs in the month of January. I am now 189. I know I won't lose a lot because I was never huge according to my doc. Anyways I have a bridal shower on the 23rd of February and I just ordered my favorite dress online in size LARGE since that was the biggest size they had. I work out at the gym 3 times a week since I work full time and go to school full time. I do wake up early like 5am every day so I thought I can do some DVD workouts at home on Monday to Friday. I really need to lose 20lbs because I am scared my dress won't fit. I eat very healthy so hopefully I'll be able to do it :/ so nervous and this will be a huge party. Wish me luck

No my waist is still 46in I did lose my bra size from 40-36.. I need to lose some weight from my tummy because the dress is fitted and don't want to look like a prego girl haha. Yes I always tend to keep my plate full. I have to workout more. I walk for an hour during my lunch Monday to Friday and gym Friday to Sunday but now I want to add DVD workout at 5am for Monday to Friday

I got my period and since I have to work I had to take 2 aleves. I am in pain. Yesterday was my 1 month anniversary for my surgery. The NP said as long as you don't take it daily you will be fine. So I hope I will be because I had no choice but to take it. The sad part is that it's not really helping

I took 2 aleves in a empty stomach but ate right away. I feel so much better. Thank you for the recommendations

Tell me about it. I can't live without aleve and I only take it during this time of the month. I don't take it for anything else. I know this will probably damage something inside my sleeve but I will have to deal with it because there was no way I could of came to work without taking something. I hate liquid Tylenol and it doesn't even help. I haven't seen you post lately hope all is well

Sorry this has nothing to do with the sleeve haha Since last Tuesday we were snowed I didn't have class. Tonight was my first and OMG my professor is one gorgeous man. Clear blue eyes, nice body and beautiful smile. Early 30s for sure.. Did I mention he is an assistance prosecutor? Yea he is lol.. I'm taking his criminal procedure class since I am studying law. This semester will be a lot of fun haha.. Ok have a good night everyone

Hahha I told my friend who happens to be in my class that I have to get an A on this class and always participate... I wish I can show you a picture hahaha.. It will def be a good class and thank god it's legal in my diet

Haha thanks

When I had my surgery dec 30 and cleared to drink on the 31st I couldn't even drink a sip of plain Water. I was drinking juices diluted with water. Week 2, I went back to work and I had water and fell in love. I don't just sip, I can drink 2-4oz at a time within seconds. I drink a 16oz bottle at night. I literally wake up several times a night for water. First thing in the morning I drink oz. I never drank juices after that day I started drinking plain water. I was a coca cola addict and guess what? I don't miss it at all. I don't miss juices and I have no interest in them. Is this normal guys? Like I can drink a whole bottle within minutes.... I hope so.. The only thing I really dislike is not being able to drink after I eat. Today for the first time after my meal I waited only 15min and had a sip of water and I had to vomit. That is when I realized that yes I did have the sleeve haha.. But right now I am on my second bottle. Ohh did I mention that I am getting 80g of Protein a day and taking all my Vitamins? Please knock on wood that this doesn't change. And my carbs are low and so is sugar and fat. I workout 3 times a week and walk Monday-Friday during lunch. I am so freaking motivated to workout that I never want to stop. Ok going back to doing my homework just wanted to share this with you guys.. So is this normal? I'm not going to die from this right haha..

Thank you I read your posts as well. Just few days ago I started eating a lot more protein

I only like plain water. I can't add anything to it. I am happy about that.

Thank you guys Honestly I never struggled with Water after week one but I struggled with Protein until I started phase 3 couple days ago. Once I was cleared to eat tuna, thin sliced turkey and cheese and Protein Bars I increased my protein up to 80.. And I still can't believe it. As for the Vitamins, I'm not taking the one my doctor recommended but I got some other ones at my pharmacy that I can tolerate. Ohh and I have my co-worker to remind me every day haha You will all get there soon enough
