I'm 6 weeks out from sleeve. I am losing slowly. I lost 1.7 pounds last week and 1.9 pounds this week. Granted I have 85 pounds to lose but it's hard to be excited when the loss is so slow. Anybody else feeling the same way? A loss is a loss, so that's a good thing. However I thought it would be a little bit more.

i'm glad to hear i'm not alone. I will not give up as a slow loss is better than no loss. I'm getting my 65+ g of protein plus my water but I guess as I start adding more food back, it will just take a bit longer than I had hoped. Hopefully this will mean less loose skin. ????

If you are near a Kroger, they have carbmaster nonfat chocolate milk. It is low in sugar and has 11 grams of protein and is pretty tasty. That helps for those sweet treat cravings. -

To Katchee... I also felt hungry last week but it's getting better. I would swear mine was real hunger but once I got more protein in, I was better. I'm 2 weeks out and starting on soft/pureed foods but finding I can eat everything I've tried with no problems...just eat small bites and small quantities. I feel pretty good about it. -

I'm day 12 and starting on soft foods. So far so good. Last night I even went out with friends and had Mexican food. I had a couple bites of guacamole and about half the meat from a taco and didn't have any problems. I felt so decadent! Ha Ha -

I am taking the acid reducer, but at least once a day I feel hunger. I can feel liquids going down and the rumble of food as it is going through my system. I hate the feeling as I want to eat more and faster which I know I can't do. -

I'm 8 days out also, and doing well on the full liquids. My only problem is I'm still hungry. I thought that would go away after the surgery. I think I will start pureed Foods this weekend and can't wait. -

I'm done too. Walking every hour and am progressing to 8 oz of liquid per hour. Getting up and down is tricky, but I'm surviving. Hang in there everyone. We'll be great. -

Mine is Monday too, and I'm doing ok on the liquid diet. I'm finding the secret is to add protein powder to everything. It's keeping me from getting hungry. And I try to stay as busy as possible so I don't have time to think about it. You and the rest of us on liquids will survive. ???? -

Hang in there. It seems like it's so far away when you first start and then all of a sudden, boom, it's here. -

I started liquids yesterday and am still tweaking the plan. I am more hungry today than yesterday though, I think I need to reschedule when I drink my protein. I think my secret is going to have to be keeping very busy for the next 5 days. I'm not nearly as anxious as I was and this support group is wonderful. It really helps to share the journey. -

One week to go, June 6. I'm ready but getting nervous. I start liquid today. I want to be healthy and active again, but am worried about the first couple of weeks. I'm sorta having second thoughts, but not really. Any body else? -

Had mine yesterday...piece of cake. Anesthesia is the best sleep I've had. And it goes fast. -
