I have stalled as well. It is really freaking me out25 pounds since surgery. I will be going back to work next week so maybe that will help Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I feel like I am going crazy. Everybody says something different. The doctor says one thing that nurse practitioner says another, the book they sent me home with say something else. I don't know when I have eaten enough. I know when I have eaten too much. How do you know when you are full. My NP says to focus on eating four times a day, eating fruit, veggies, and Beans. I feel like I'm not loosing enough. I had my surgery on the 21st of June. I lost at total of 40 pounds, 20 was during the liquid diet. I just started walking and swimming today.

I am almost 4 weeks post op and the best advice I received was eat until I'm satisfied and not full. I tried that the last few days and I feel so much better. If I feel myself getting hungry after eating I try to choose a healthier snack like a piece of fruit. However, this is a learning process. I have learned to give myself some slack. I have made some mistakes and have paid for it. Being full or overeating is so uncomfortable it's not really worth it. We all got the surgery bc in some way or another we had a bad relationship with food. That doesn't go away after surgery. I had to stop measuring and counting food because it started giving me anxiety. Stick with trying to eat the right foods, Beans, veggies, fruit, lean meat. Continue to try to learn and adapt to this new process and tool. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I Believe soft foods is week 4. I would skip the skin and just it's the meat of the fruit. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@kristenle. I am confused. I think my doctor is trying to convert me to a vegetarian. She told me to start with the Beans first and than the veggies. I'm like what about the meat. Lol. So I have been trying to have a lean meat only once a day. She said she doesn't want me to focus on scales and counting. Eat four times drink my 3-4 bottles of Water and take my Vitamins. I had a whole argument about what "I saw on the Internet". She said leave the Internet alone. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@suzzzzz how is your weight loss. I tried eating slow today taking really small bites using a fork. I don't necessary fill full but I darn sure don't feel stuff. I feel like that was progress. Also, the whole eating and waiting 30 min to drink has been super hard for me. But today it wasn't so bad Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Also, my doctor said not to worry about how much Protein I consume a day just stick to the veggies, Beans, and fruit. I asked her if I should weigh it and she said nope. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
