Maybe that scale is broken? I mean that is a wild swing of weight! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was given one at dr office and I never used it- I had one similar after c section and really felt I needed it then- but not after this Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's what o do with my Genepro- because that " unflavored" sure tastes disgusting to me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Surgery was four days ago? And you have lost 9 pounds and you are concerned? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am inspired by you that are completely off of it. I am six weeks out and so desperate for a Coke Zero. I don't drink coffee or tea and all the diet Snapple and crystal light are so sweet to me and gross . I think about Coke Zero all the time I am trying hard to last a year and hoping the desire wanes . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

When I first told my husband he was very hesitant - I was disappointed - but when I asked further- it was because he was worried about the risks- he read lots and lots and about it then got fully behind me . He has been so supportive afterwards too And I was so down afterwards - thank goodness he was their to pick me up! I am hoping yours will do the same Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Isn't it interesting how different doctors are---- !!only clear liquids for me a week after and my dr highly recommends Protein shakes for possibly life- he says most of his patients end up having them for Breakfast or lunch for a few years afterwards So interesting!! Great luck to you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I wish I had known how mentally hard the first couple of weeks were going to be . I wish I had really known that - since I don't drink tea or coffee and all the crystal light type additives to Water are so too sweet to me now- that my only drink is water... That one is still a bummer to me ! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yep- I have lost one pound from week 3- now which I am 5 1/2 weeks... Very frustrating for sure Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@Anabean I am 5 1/2 weeks out and I have one shake a day and then put a scoop of GENEPRO in something for another meal .....sigh. I hate the shakes and it's a pain to drink them but that's the only way to get the Protein for me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

One month out I lost 25 pounds and now haven't lost for two weeks. Super insanely frustrating but just keep going like you are supposed to Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I make them too- Genepro- small Amount of yogurt- day free milk and strawberries Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am five weeks out and I try hard to have one for a meal( usually supper because I find each meal during the day gets smaller with Breakfast being my biggest) and then I have the medical grade Protein powder I add to some bring else for another meal- usually a smoothie. I don't love either- but the only way I can get enough protein Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have lost 25 pounds and no one has noticed- I even wore a dress I haven't been able to wear in years that is fitted and nothing.... So you might be able to buy yourself some time.... You can smartly reply- well I don't eat.... Which is mostly the truth Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I tried to prepare myself this am when I steppe son the scales- in fact- I missed my weekly weigh in by two days because I figured his would be when that stall everyone talks about would begin and I was trying to mentally prepare myself... Thought I was ready- but I guess I wasn't--- at three weeks post surgery I had lost 18 pounds and I was really happy with that- I weighed today ( 4 weeks and two days post surgery) and it's the exact same I knows all about stalls and everything. Ut man it really hurts to see that number. I know it's a marathon and not a sprint but my brain just cannot see how I can eat how little I do and not lose weight. It's so shocking Thanks for listening- just needed some support Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 5 weeks out today and everything still fits- just looser. I went to a party yesterday and wore a dress I haven't worn in years and no one noticed- 25 pounds lost and no one noticed - that was a bummer- but just plugging along I still like all the same food except sweet drinks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My dr never mentioned caffeine- in fact normal coffee is one of the few things I can drink Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Mine went away this week ( four weeks after surgery) but I have also been eating a lot more variety this week . The good thing about it , I found , was it made me drink Water all the time - I was always trying to get the taste out ) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
