. My dr said to not eat mashed potatoes because of all the carbs!! They are pretty much empty calories...try mashed cauliflower instead!!

Yes!!! I puréed everything!! Just have to make sure you use enough liquid/broth so it is not to thick!

So I was sleeved in July 2014, and lost 70 pounds in 5 months!!! Then it stopped...it has been 10 months since I have lost anything. What's worse is I have gained 10 pounds! Now in July this year I saw my surgeon and we discussed my weight and he said to up my exercise and I have....work out at a gym now with a trainer 3-4 days a week....I am very careful as to what I eat. I guess my question is has this happened to anyone else?? My surgeon did tell me that if in 6 months there is still no change he would do the bypass revision...just scared to have another surgery...

Yes my thyroid has been checked and is fine. As to watching what I eat...I don't eat bread. And rarely ever eat rice or pasta. I snack on fresh fruit and veggies and eat my protein first at meals which normally fills me up. ( but I am lucky if it is even 4 oz). I know that muscle weighs more then fat. And my clothes are not getting tighter which is a good thing! Just freaking over the weight gain when I have not even met my goal!

I was pain med free and doing great 5 days after surgery. And 2 weeks after my surgery had to take my son back to college which is a 4 hour drive one way and did fine. But not everyone recoups the same. I definitely didn't expect to be doing as well as I was that soon after.

I am almost 7 months post-op and decided to try egg salad today for the fist time...minus the bread of course!!! I have been cramping for over 2 hours now and am gurgling like crazy!!! Has this happened to anyone else?? All I know is I won't be eating that again!!!

That is what I am thinking... That the sleeve didn't like the egg salad....which kinda sucks cuz I really like egg salad!!!

Started loosing my hair also but I get my protein in daily, and take biotin along with my daily vitamin. I have tons of new hair growth now and have stopped losing completely. Oh and it started around the 5 month mark for me and I am almost at 9 months now

I actually would take a small piece of chicken the my husband cooked and purée it with chicken broth....I also puréed cooked carrots with onions to go with it! Granted I only ate maybe a tablespoon or two of both but it was good!!

I know the eggs were fine...my husband ate it also and had no problems. And I eat a scrambled egg with no problem. This just took me by surprise because it last for 3 hours!

The one on the left was taken July 27 the day before my surgery the right side one is 6 months later!

I am almost 7 months post op and I still get gurgles and uncomfortable feelings in my stomach after I eat...no idea what is causing it, it just happens.

So I had an unexpected visit to the er today and was told I have kidney stones! I had my surgery July 28, 2014 and this has taken me by surprise! Has anyone else had an issue with this??

I started out with a powder but am now using premier protein. Just got to where I could not drink the powder shakes anymore!

The weird thing is I drink lots of water every day (4-6 cups a day!) I don't do salt and I am really careful with my diet. Not sure why I got them as I never had them before. And I had my gall bladder taken out years ago so I am glad I don't have that to worry about!

Has anyone else had their weight go up and down a lot? I am 14 wks post op and the past 3-4 weeks my weight has been fluctuating. I know that the scale is not something I should be on all the time but I can't help myself. I do exercise and am eating 900-1000 calories a day, but my weight sees to be staying the same and it is getting very frustrating.

Live in biloxi and was sleeved on 7/28/14....and in a major stall...it is starting to really get me down but I just saw my dr and he said give it a couple more weeks and if nothing changes to call him. But what can he do?

I am just about at my 12 week mark, surgery was July 28th. I have been In a stall for the past 2 weeks and now I have gained back 5 pounds! I eat almost nothing and exercise (walk) 3-4 days a week on top of working 2 jobs! I know it's gonna take time but I am losing faith in this.

Thank you!!! I have been in a stall and it is driving me nuts!!! Just hoping it ends soon! I was sleeved on July 28th and have lost 57 lbs so far...I guess my expectations are greater then they should be! Lol
