What are you eating 8 weeks out?
Alisa11/18 replied to Alisa11/18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm supposed to get 64 grams of protein a day. I am failing in that department. I really should incorporate my shakes back in. It's still very hard for me to get it all in. I guess in so consumed with calories, I should think abt getting the protein in!! -

Lunch-One cup if escarole and bean soup and 1 Turkey meatball Snack- 1/2 think thin protein bar For dinner I plan on having more 2 Turkey meatballs and esparagus Is this ok? I haven't weighed myself in a few days. -

November sleevers! 6 weeks out and feeling discouraged!
Alisa11/18 replied to Alisa11/18's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 7 weeks out and still can't eat a cup of yogurt. I never finish anything but then I'm hungry abt 2 hours later. I'm trying not to graze. As for the exercise, I started back last week. I didn't feel completely healed until 6 weeks but I think that's how long it takes. -

It seems like we are all on track! I was supposed to see my dr and nutritionist tomorrow but they cancelled because if the snow. I have to wait another week I wanted to go through my diet and see what they thought. I'm still going to weigh tomorrow and hope to hit the 30 Mark but I highly doubt it. But..in going to keep following the plan and move on! I wake up everyday so happy I did this! I know it will eventually come off! -

Thank you all for the encouraging words! It's so nice to have you all along with me on this ride! I did hit a stall at 2 weeks and it lasted alittle over 2 weeks. It was awful!!! But finally the scales started moving! I am having some issues with 3 things which could make a huge difference 1. Not getting to my protein goal 2. Not reaching my water goal 3. Sorry tmi but no bowel movements I am trying to reach my protein goals but at 6 weeks it is still difficult. I'm probably getting half my water intake too! Could this be the reason it is going so slow? I haven't weighed myself in 2 days and I'm waiting until tomorrow! I go in to see my sleeve dr in Friday and my goal is a total of 30. I would be happy with 30lbs!! -

Tomorrow is 6 weeks since my sleeve and I lost 25 pounds. I think I should have lost more. I saw Family over the holidays and no one noticed any weight loss! Feeling discouraged! I hope I'm not doing anything wrong. -

I've Hit The Dreaded 3-Week Stall...ugh!
Alisa11/18 replied to McButterpants's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thank you ataloss! I'm hoping that is it and I'm not messing up. This is harder than I expected. -
It will be 4 weeks tomorrow since my surgery. I have been stalled for 2 weeks. I think one of my problems is I do NOT go to the bathroom (sorry TMI). Can I take milk if magnesia? I heard it could expand my stomach?? Just want to make sure.

I just downloaded the app. I was not tracking. I'm still not able to get all the protein and water in yet. I have a few bites and I'm full. I start to hiccup. Today I did eat a lot if protein but not enough. I'm trying!! Does the stall last for 3 weeks or it usually starts around the 3rd week after surgery. My stall started at 2 weeks and today I have stalled for 1 week (
