Hi all, I am one month post op and have gone from 266lbs to 245lbs. Just transitioned to soft food 8 days ago and am at a complete stall. Only consuming 600 calories per day and getting almost all of my water in. Trying not to get frustrated as I have another 110 lbs to lose... Is this normal?

And I just realized I said wait loss instead of weight loss.... Perhaps a subconscious slip!!! Lol my doctor has me between 600 and 800 for now. He will likely increase it when I got for my next visit next week, I think you're right though. Thank you all for the support... I changed my habits and switched back to my old Protein powder with very few carbs and no sugar so I'm getting all of my protein in with fewer carbs and the scale noticed! Immediately dropped 4 lbs yay! Back on track

Thanks everyone... This helps make me feel better And I just realized I said wait loss instead of weight loss.... Perhaps a subconscious slip!!! Lol my doctor has me between 600 and 800 for now. He will likely increase it when I got for my next visit next week, I think you're right though.

My surgeon advised slow small sips so as not to put pressure on the staple line... I had no issues except one late night large gulp of water which was painful for about 3 seconds and then was fine. But now a few weeks out, I can take large sips again.

I had the sleeve on March 23rd and am just transitioning to soft foods. I haven't had any negative reactions to food... But I'm sticking with simple foods mostly. I actually have zero appetite so it's a big effort to eat, and my sense of smell is super acute right now so most things don't even taste good. I'm happy with liquid but know I need to learn to eat solids again.
