Hi Kiwijet have you weighed yourself to know you haven't lost a lot? Maybe you are losing inches at the moment have you been drinking enough Water? I guess it's that 3 week stall maybe I've been eating more over the weekend it's easy to get more water and meals in I had my first takeout we ordered in Indian I had butter chicken was yum but only ate two bits of chicken it was rich and I didnt want to be sick but by god did I want to eat the narn bread. I have been eating to much cheese also not good. Tonight for tea I had Thai green curry it was quite spicy I felt a bit uncomfortable for a bit then A few hours later I ate two yogurts not good I felt so guilty I know for sure I'm not getting all my Protein in daily how has your diet been since you've been travelling are you doing ok ?

Ive read of sleevers that drink Sprite Zero but flat absolutely know bubbles left in it its not a healthy drink however I was addicted to Coke Zero before surgery I don't think about it anymore luckily. Why don't you try putting some wedges of lemon and lime in your Water I've put berries in my water before too I also drink low calorie cordial mix Sent from my iPhone

What were you trying to eat? I had a similar issue when I started purée phase I thought I'd never be able to eat pain free again I'm now on soft food and it's no where near as painful a week can make a big difference when healing Sent from my iPhone

It's nice to see someone posting there food pics Sent from my iPhone

Oh no that's no fun when your overfull I find it hard to judge when I've had enough still. I think for me going forward il be eating off my partners plate when going out too or just ordering a entree for a main. Sent from my iPhone

Wow I am the same as you 3 weeks out and I can drink my Protein shake In 15-20 minutes I'm sure it will get easier quicker for you Sent from my iPhone

I'm the same I'm a month out on the 29th and I didn't loose a thing 12 days straight then the scale moved yesterday I stopped religiously weighing myself everyday as I found I was so disappointed I was being negative and hard on myself I have found the weight loss slower since surgery than my expectations.

I think it's normal from what I've read it's more of a regurgitation that vomit and if you overfill yourself it comes straight back up Sent from my iPhone

Yes mine said the same things about the 32 must be just to small Sent from my iPhone

Kiwijet yes the big ward my surgeon is the surgeon on that show however when I first saw him in December I had no idea of the show I found out in February we he popped onto my tv screen he does private and public like a lot of surgeons the big ward was based around public hospital patients and has just finished and was great in terms of seeing snippets of the actual surgery he's amazing it's like 9.35 at night here I emailed him earlier at 7.30 he emailed me back with those answers regarding my stomach size he's so approachable and real. So what does a 36 look like Kiwijet do you know? Yes so true I can only eat a tiny fraction of what I useto eat I had huge portions Sent from my iPhone

Kiwijet I'm a 36 too he said he use to do a 32 but the risk of leaks was increased and more common and the recovery was much harder Sent from my iPhone

Oh I don't know about the size of my new stomach I'm going to email my surgeon I can eat more than I think I should I can easily eat an entire yogurt tub and a whole scrambled egg easily the other night I had an entire yogurt and a med size banana I was mortified I'd eaten it all and quite sick feeling but when I watched a NZ show the other night on people getting the surgery they could only eat one ice cube size of defrosted food at a time I don't feel restriction Sent from my iPhone

Demonchick I am eating full fat cheese at the moment but only because I'm not getting many calories in I did buy some low fat cheese it's disgusting I do love cheese omg rice crackers and cream cheese kill me now 25kgs is fantastic my scale moved today a tad it's been forever I yelled thank F*** really loud haha I'm feeling very surprised at how slow this is going. Sent from my iPhone

Kiwijet your very lucky I'm not on soft food yet I've got one more week of purée then I go to soft food then solid food I'm having trouble eating even mashed potatoes I get terrible pains in my chest. Today I had my first meal out I ordered the leak and potato Soup omg I'd never normally order that!!!! anyhow it came out with huge lumps of potatoe And leek I couldn't eat it I just ate the liquid then had the burbs all day. My friend had a beautiful soft chicken taco I cried inside lol I could have eaten the filling of the taco very healthy just salad and chicken if I were on solid foods I can't see myself getting to that point anytime soon I can't even eat tuna it doesn't digest. It sounds like you have an exciting 9 days ahead Kiwijet I hope you enjoy your tasty holiday I'd kill for a piece of toast rite now with Peanut Butter I so struggle eating and drinking and the time frames. Sent from my iPhone

Oh wow I do love those rice crackers we have them here too I look forward to eating crunchy things. My saving grace is cheese and yogurt that's the only foods I can eat consistently. Wow you have until June off that's amazing. It's hard when you eat something and it doesn't agree it will be much easier for me once I move onto solid food and I can eat Protein Bars I have a very yummy brand for when I get caught out on the run at work.

Kiwijet did you find that the alcohol went straight to your head or no difference? Sent from my iPhone

I had 4 in total 2 small 1 med & 1 large by my belly button Sent from my iPhone

Miss_smiles I have been the same weigh almost 10 days I was sleeved the 29th March it's frustrating I feel I'm shrinking but no scale movement it's a real head game I've given up weighing daily I think my issue is I'm not eating enough or drinking enough I'm so over water when with lemon slices or low cal cordial etc Sent from my iPhone

I'm struggling to remember to eat as I said before on I think Thursday I hadn't eaten a thing except coffee and at 4.30 I was like **** I've not eaten I'm struggling big time being back at work eating and drinking il eat some yogurt some cheese a coffee and an egg for dinner or some mashed potatoe with baked salmon through it that's about it Sent from my iPhone

Kiwijet did it go down ok? I get a terrible pain in my chest when I eat anything to rough like reheated casserole tuna anything slightly dry even egg sometimes I couldn't imagine I could get down any bread based food id kill someone for a piece of vogles toast with butter and avocado haha I'm so over the pain after eating good on you for resisting cake that would of been hard I'm a savoury person but I do like a piece of cake Sent from my iPhone

Demonchick I had glue too but that big one by the belly button is leaking So I ate some tuna today and it came straight back up I thought it would be fine but I was wrong. Sent from my iPhone

Demonchick we don't have that brand here in NZ all the yogurts are around the same Protein levels here Sent from my iPhone

That same spot is playing up for me too Kiwijet it won't heal and when I stretch I can feel the muscles grab in there I'm having to dress it still every other day I want to know this also Sent from my iPhone
