Thank you so very much, you said exactly what I have been thinking!!! I don't believe sweating is dehydration either!

I'm 6 weeks post op, I'm finding that I break out in sweats, I'm wondering if anyone else has the and can it indicate that I'm dehydrated ? Btw I'm 37 pounds down including pre op weight loss

This happened to me for almost 10 days, but I was told to expect it, just lost another 5 pounds Don't get discouraged!!! It's normal body process I've been told

I am three weeks post op lost 20 pounds, but since March 1 the scale is not moving? Any ideas? Thansk

Rogofulm, thanks so very much ...your information truly bought comfort to me.....I'm really ok with this....as I know it's normal and I am true to the program.....

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all stall periodically and almost everyone experiences a stall about three weeks after surgery. Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids. Avoid starches and added sugars. Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed. Exercise when cleared. Stay off the scale of you are going to let it drive you crazy. And, Embrace the Stall!http://BariatricPal.com/index.php?/topic/351046-Embrace-the-Stall l Thank you!!!!!! Your advice is so helpful and encouraging!!! I am following the program to the letter and quite proud of myself, I walked further than I ever thought possible today!!!! PS how do we get our ticker to post??tx

I just heard from my dietician and she said , it is frustrating, but one day we will step on the scale and get great results....so I guess this isn't abnormal We just need to stay the course !! we can do this

I am happy my post made you feel normal, I truly think that many of us go through this....

Just wondering, I am 3 weeks out and tricky out of the blue have bursts of tears and the blues, I know this is related to the surgery and have heard its from the balancing act going on inside our bodies....anybody else ? Any suggestions? Tx

I am going to try and stay busy as soon as I feel it coming on, and hold in my heart that " this too shall pass"

Thank you, that is great advice too! it helps to know I am not alone ?

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am now the proud owner of a " sleeve". My surgeon Dr. Anthony Maffei did a wonderful job!! It's an exciting journey each day...and also tiring I can't wait until next week when I can have a soft Protein. It's so worth it, after only 1 week I lost 10 pounds!!!!!!! It is taking adjustment but my daughter had it when she was 28 , she's two years out amd her entire life changed around....so she is my role model:) she tells me how proud she is of me ...I have had a lot of health issues including autoimmune disease....I know that won't go away but I will have a healthier body to take anything on...this was an early birthday gift to myself. ???? Surgery was February 17 ...Wed....I will cherish Starting weight 308 Pre op dieting and surgery weight loss to date ...286!!! I'm happy to have found this support group!

Hi there, I hear you, the shakes even 2 times a day are boring!! In between is a jello or ice pop....today I am doing better at getting water down, and I hade real Coffee!!!!!!!!!! I tried decaf..it ain't happening LOL !! I still get tired, I also have an autoimmune disease... Fortunately I am retired. My daughter needed a full 2 weeks or so to go back to work when she had it... What soups do you use???? Tonight I have soft food for dinner again, after last nights mayhem, I am going to try ricotta left at room temp. I can't take the cold!!!! I'm so glad we are communicating !

How many weeks are you out? my first week or so I too was craving foods in my head....well as days went along...that changed enormously as if The sleeve truly did what it was suppose to !! Good luck with the nutritionist

I had deli ham and cheese, that's went great...I was to eat 3 oz, I only got 2 down...tonight I had Refried beans my daughter who had Bariatric surgery gave me...I thought I would die!!!!!! I took 2 little bites Enough said ...she put a little salsa...no way..... I'm sticking to the list I was given exactly!!! It's only two weeks today My first really miserable day....also do you get.. Well.....any Diar...don't want to TMI here /)

I have to flavor water too, it gets to me and I need to get more in! I use Syntrex Nectar I bought on line at the the Vitamin Shoppe... I actually can have soft soft meats etc, eggs I was able to get in 2 oz of thin deli ham and cheese...could not make it to 3 oz. It was a weird but great feeling, I made sure I chewed thoroughly and too my time, I'm trying to listen to my body as to what it is telling me ,.a learning process!

Make sure you are nor drinking 30min, before and after you have your shakes...I was told if we drink after, especially you will push the Protein drinks through faster and we won't absorb it. Thats what happens to me,I felt hunger pang and realized I was drink right after eating by 10 min.Now I am by the book doing much better..I look forward to to Jello and pops to curb I. Between and broth oh YUMMYY LOL:( On Wed, I go to one soft meal at dinner !!! Yeah sometimes I forget I need more Water intake I need to add crystal light to the water so much water has me a bit tired of it. Are you allowed to eat puree foods yet or yogurt? What shakes do you buy for protein ?

I am so happy, I lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks, tonight I am able to try soft food! Does any one have ideas for these type of meals??

Thanks so much

I am to begin " soft" protein 2 weeks post op!! I agree with you, it is not easy on the liquid diet I am sure each MD has a protocol for a reason...I am rooting for you!

Yup, it's a two week follow up, I believe then it will be 1 month not sure,

My favorite is Syntrax Nectar I like Fuzzy Navel,Chocolate Truffle and Vanilla bean torte.
