Alisa11/18 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

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. -

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!! -
November sleevers! 6 weeks out and feeling discouraged!

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'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!! -
Stalls :(. .. Concerned,worried?

I think I finally broke my stall after 2 weeks!! I lost 2 pounds since Monday! I hope I go down again tomorrow!! Fingers crossed!! So fellow stallers, please don't lose hope! -
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 will take the MOM for a quick relief and use miralax daily. Thank you for the info!!

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 ( -

My surgery was 11/18. Exactly 3 weeks ago today. Weighed myself this morning and up 4 ounces. I will try and drink more water today. I drank a lot of crystal light yesterday but that didn't help. This is very frustrating!!! I think I'm going on 10 days with no weight loss. -

I feel the same exact way!! My surgery was 3 weeks ago and I have been stalled for about a week. I hope I'm not eating too much. I really don't drink water that much and hardly go to the bathroom. I'm trying to drink more but I just can't!! -

Thank you mcbutterpants! I didn't know any of this. I kept thinking I was doing something wrong. I'm just hoping I wake up and see it go down!! Can we share what we eat in a day? I just want to make sure in not eating too much! Today I had 1/2 protein shake A few bites of cottage cheese 1 hard boiled egg 1/2 cup ricotta cheese Broth with 3 crackers Maybe I'm grazing?? Is this too much? -

I'm stalling and depressed. I had my surgery on the Nov 18th and lost 20lbs but haven't lost in a week. I even gained a pound. I don't know how this is possible. I barely eat. I'm definitely not getting all my water and protein in yet. It's so hard. I don't know what to do. Any advice?
