I am going through the same thing. I haven't gone over 600 calories since surgery on 7/16. Dropped 22 lbs and now I have been stalled for 1.5 weeks. I am baffled. Eating so little but I feel like there is no progress. I do need to be better about drinking water/fluids. But I struggle with nausea all day. It's like morning sickness all over again, but with no baby.

I am 5 foot. Pre surgery diet weight :247 Surgery day: 236 July 16 surgery: Weight this morning 225 Not sure if this helps at all.

I am 23 days post op today. Have lost 24.6 pounds since day 1 of pre-op low carb diet. The last 2 weeks I haven't lost a pound. . But dr says it completely normal and to be expected. The liver is "filling" back up and it takes time, and it's heavier (glycogen) so that's why the stall. Phew... Protein shakes is what nutritionist said I should be getting most of my protein from still at this stage. And not to worry about tracking calories/carbs etc... Just to take it slow and give time to heal. Sick sick sick of the shakes. But have gone too fast or too soon with certain things and Had a few dumping episodes.... Not fun!!! My stages were: PO Days 1-2: clear liquid only Days: 3-9: Full Liquids - including strained soups, thinned yogurt etc... Days 10-16: Pureed Foods - anything that is basically blended - with ... Thank you so much, this helps so much!

@@FireWife I think you hit the nail on the head. I think most of those protien drinks were causing dumping. Thank you for sharing. Sounds like we have similar experiences. I appreciate all the feedback.

Hi everyone! I was a July 16 revision, (band to sleeve). I was curious about a couple of things. 1. About how many calories/protien is everyone getting in? Being 17 days out, I have a huge struggle with getting in fluids and protien in. I am supposed to be on just liquid protien and creamy Soups still for another week, and I basically have given up on trying because the thought of another protien drink is nauseating. I called and asked if I can branch into Greek yogurt and got that blessing. But I am currently getting in maybe 300-400 calories a day if I am lucky. Maybe 20-30 grams of protien. 2. At 17 days post op, what stage of diet were you on? Any good recipes if yoj are post liquids? I am still on liquids, but I would kill to have a soft cooked egg. Or something more than a cream Soup. I am not asking for a burger, I am totally down with a healthy choice. I just can't take another shake. (I sound pathetic I know, lol) 3. Has anyone had sharp pains on their sides or an aching pain? My recovery was not as traditional. I have two small kids and went back to work after day 4. My husband has tried to help, but he works about 70 hours a week, so I have been doing my best to manage life with recovery while tending to all my duties. 4. How much can you take in in a sitting? I can do 1/2 cup and then I am done. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Congratulations to all of us on this excited journey!

Thanks everyone, my issue is the smell and after taste of the Protein and the super artificial sweetness. I have spent about $300 on different types of protien. I have done protein shots, Premier, core power light, Isopure, bariessential clear and vanilla, mix1, GNC total lean...etc.... I can tell you I honestly have tried to get those drinks down. And mix the clear into my soup, but that clumps and the second I taste or smell the protien, nausea kicks in over drive. I have purchased sugar free syrups, tried crystal light and PB2. I struggled with the 2 week diet with this protein making me sick also. I appreciate all the helpful advice and tips. On a positive note, I am still losing. Down 21 lbs since surgery... just feeling worn out.

Lol... obviously I missed 4, please excuse the typos, I am going on day 2 with minimal sleep due to a sick baby.
