Gained 2 pounds is this normal!? I am 4 weeks post op. I am wondering if I did something wrong????

I lost 8 pounds lol yay!!!

I lost 8 pounds lol yay!!!

I am eating like chicken fish eggs tuna cheese eggs that kind of stuff. No veggies and no carbs. It's weird I see a lot if people in the site who eat carbs and veggies at 4 weeks lost op. I guess every doc is different. At 2 months I can incorporate soft cooked veggies. I can't wait I'm craving them lol. I'm kinda neurotic with the scale too. I weigh everyday bc it's feels so good to see the scale down so much. I have only lost 35 post op. I lost the other weight before the operation. But yes a total of 80 since last oct. I'm 4 weeks post op tomorrow. I have to say for some reason I'm hungry like all the time? I do take the acid reducer too but it seems I'm always hungry and I don't understand!?

You guys eat mashed potatoes 3 weeks post op????

Now 8 days at same weight. Ugh

ME TOO! Lost 35 pounds so far but haven't moved at all. Its driving me crazy! Im not super obsessed with the scale either but I was so used to losing so fast and I'm not moving at all… So this is a normal regular thing????

Well I would be really careful with chicken, I heard it was hard to digest and for me it was very hard too. Everytime i ate chicken i had a stomach ache so I would stay away from it for a few weeks. By the way CONGRATS on 7 weeks! WOW I couldn't do liquid that long lol. I would suggest fish but stay away for salmon very fatty. Try cheese yougurt (plain) cottage cheese ricotta cheese was good too. Start off really soft. As for the Vitamins BE CAREFUL and make sure you take them on a full stomach. I got so sick at first from them. Also spread them out don't take them all at once. I hope this helps a little Erica GOOD LUCK!

I had the sleeve procedure on june 23rd. I was 271 pre op and now i am 237. I was 237 like the beginning of last week I keep seeing all these posts on how people have lost like 100 lbs in 6 months or like 50 or 60 in 2 months. I am getting nervous because i have been walking everyday and eating. I really can't get the protein shakes down. I am barely getting one down a day. Do you think thats my problem? I still am getting hungry a lot. i was told i wasn't supposed to get hungry. I really don't know what head hunger means? I can't tell the difference because i feel the huger in my stomach. So I don't know if I'm eating wrong? I barely eat 3 ounces if that. I don't know if this is why I'm not losing because I'm not getting enough protein ugh HEEELLLLPPPPPP please

I feel your pain. It was so hard for me on the liquid diet part. I found the gnc brand lean shakes were great they are 25 grams if protein and like 3 grams of sugar. They were the best tasting ones. Believe me I tired them all. Keep going strong I keep saying if I could do it anyone could do it. It was so tough for me and I'm so proud I did it! Try the gnc brand ones they are pre mixed too. Pretty good tasting

I haven't gone to the bathroom in a few weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions? Suppositories do not work. I can't take any pills because i have to crush them. I was told to take colace but its a liquid pill. Is it normal not to have a bowel movement for this long?? I'm getting scared??

Thanks guys SUCCESS lol

2 weeks post op

Took suppositories 2 times. First time had very minor success…. but is it because i have barely had any food??

I had the sleeve operation on June 23rd and I don't understand why I am always hungry. I just started on soft solids. I eat about 3 to 4 bites of egg for breakfast. Maybe like 4 -5 bites of a piece of ham and cheese and for dinner i have fish like 5 bites or so. Its so hard for me to drink the protein shakes. I had to drink them 2 weeks post op everyday and after I'm so sick of them. Is that the reason I am not feeling full because I am not drinking enough protein shakes or do i not eat enough food? I really am not sure what my full feeling is. But when i start to hiccup or burp i stop. But don't feel "full: I have done well i started off at 315 last oct. I since lost weight for the surgery i got down to 271. That was my weight before the surgery i am now 238! I think thaw increadible but i always seem to be hungry! I am looking for someone hopefully to give me ideas how to get full or keep full. Please help guys

I don't drink any caffeine not allowed to

Thanks guys! I had such a bad problem with acid reflux in the beginning. I stopped taking my pills should i retake them cuz i haven't get that acid feeling i didn't realize that could be confused with hunger
