amen! well said, we have all had those days it gets better and everyone here cares and has empathy.

awesome!!!!! you look great

my dr started me on the mushies post op day 15-21

examples

1/2 bananas, fruit added to smoothies(yuck), 1/4 baked sweet potato, oatmeal cream of wheat(yuck) no grits:(

week 4

lowfat cottage cheese, lite canned fruit, well cooked veggies(canned), beans no rice low fat cheese,

my food servings were 1/4-1/2 cup I'm at 1/2 cup for most things my protein in week 3 was up to 60-80 grams:001_rolleyes:

and any supplements my md ordered were taken as tolerated and you cannot move to these stages if you have nausea, or vomitting. hope this helps.

well i guess there is a wee bit of geography separating us but I'm happy that we are friends. i think my stall is over down by 3 lbs. I found out that my vitamin D levels are terrible so i will start taking supplements for that next week. I read that pts who have high vit D levels loose weight fast than those with lower levels. I'm 6wks post op really having trouble with protein supplements so trying to get it from food i can drink like a fish but food is ugh!!!!!!!! AFTER ONLY A HALF CUP. So I think my weight is coming off a lot slower than most. But off is better than on so no more whinning. Enjoy your weekend and thanks for letting me vent:blush:

If you are ok with fluids drink as much as you can as often as you can. The first couple of weeks you must focus on hydrations. Protein will come in time at least that's what my MD told me at about week 2 he had me start to focus on protein. Hope this helps hang in there I'm drinking as i blog this. I still have trouble with my protein, but i get in my fluids. Love crystal lite, but i use one pack to a liter of water just enough flavor to keep me drinking but not too sweet. I'm six weeks out sleeved on the 21st of June. I lost about 16 lbs since surgery:001_unsure: not as much as most but still better off than on:001_tongue:

Thanks so much, and yes there is comfort in the ability to care for others instead of fixating on food. I made up for my fluids after work, I'm gonna make myself do my walk away the pounds dvd, tonite there i said it so I must do it!!! Oh, Leo 5 did skip any temptations at work today everyone was entertained by my small continers and cute utensils. If you have not purchased World Market has awesome spoons, forks, and knives for us (really cocktail utensils) but they work for us. Well, no time like the present for that date with the dvd play:(

I understand exactly where you are I'm two weeks out I had my first follow-up visit friday lost 12 lbs since surgery. I'm having trouble finding things to eat without cheating, i also was banded and failed at that so I really want this to work. In terms of taste I found that once I bought a tongue scrapper and new mouthwash I found my taste buds were buried and are better, which is 100% better. If you dont have caffeine issues McDonald's or Subway unsweetened tea is soooo good especially wit a bit of lemon. I love sugar free snowballs also it's a treat and helps with your fluid intake. Believe me we can do this, it just takes time for our minds to catch on with our desires and we all will become the babe in our minds eye. Hang in there

OHHH EGGS ONLY 8DAYS POST OP THAT SOUNDS SOOO GOOD
