Just because you CAN eat something doesn't mean you SHOULD! I'm a little over 3 months I can eat a couple bites of crust and then just the topping off a slice. I can not fathom how you ate a hole pizza.
You definitely need to get into therapy.

Sleeved 2/19/17 5"3 SW 220 CW 183.6 goal between 140 and 150.
I'm just a little past 3 months post-op. I have had absolutely no nausea or vomiting. I'm a BIG wimp and dreaded surgery. I had my gallbladder out 2 yrs prior sleeve surgery. I was in horrible pain for 2 wks. I just knew this surgery was going to be worse than that. Nope, I was so wrong. I've transitioned dietary phases with no problems. Spinach was a little iffy first time I tried it. I'm eating what I want. That does not include breads, Pasta or rice. Not that I can't eat them, I choose not to eat them because of their nutritional value. My plan does not allow any fruits till 6 months out. Got to have protien:) I'm currently eating 600-800 calories a day.

My plan did not have a puree stage.
Each surgeon has their own plans to follow and their reasons for it. Always follow your surgeons plan.
When trying something new, take a very tiny bit into your tummy. Wait....nothing, try another bite. Eat slow and tiny bites. Be sure to weigh anything you put into your mouth

Wait for clearance from doc. Nothing carbonated. Don't eat and drink. I find it's better to eat sober. When you have a buzz going it's harder to determine when you're full.

You don't need a heck of a lot. I took clean underware, chargers for phone and tablet, ear plugs, hair brush and I wore clean pj's into the hospital and same pair out. The hospital provided tooth brush etc. I'd stay in the hospital gown. If you're worried about your rear hanging out ask for an extra gown and use it for a robe.

I take chewable vitamins. No problem there. I started swallowing pills day after surgery with no problems. Little Water with each pill or pills.

My bariatric team wants us to focus on Protein first, then veggies. No fruit till 6 months because of carbs.

I am with Kaiser I have to do purée for 4 weeks. Everyone in my class has to. What Kaiser are you with?

I'm 3 months out today. I can't have fruit till I'm 6 months out other than that I haven't come across anything that I can't eat. I eat a lot less now.

My plan does not allow any fruits until 6 months out. Nutritionist reminds me constantly Protien first.

Drink fluids. Frozen sugar free popsicles helped me alot. Keep busy. Drink drink drink. You got this.

Definitely minimum 64 oz daily. If you miss your target once in awhile it won't hurt but if you continuously are short on fluids you will become dehydrated.

Hello everyone,

I got the clearance from my nutritionist to eat veggies. I had a lettuce wrapped cheese burger with Tomato, onion and pickles tonight for dinner. It was SO good. I really have missed veggies.

You're losing that's great [emoji16]!

Ok I take levothroxine too 100mcg
We have similar stats too lol

Sw 212 for surgery day
I'm so close but I gotta get this thyroid down .
I'm hoping it will in a couple months

Yes I meant 130-140lbs. So use to having a "2" there. Lol

Try putting down your eating utensil down between bites. This has helped me. It makes me more aware of how I am eating.

This is normal. You are following your plan. How about some form of exercise?
You are doing all you can. The rest is up to your body. I'm in a stall too. But this to shall pass.

Glad to hear u got it under control & had your surgery .. that's great!
How much medication did u have to take to lower your number? Synthroid?
How much weight have you lost so far ?
What's your stats ?

My surgeon would not operate on me when my thyroid level was 6.98. He said it was to risky for me. Thyroid effects everything at a cellular level. Surgeon said he'd worry about organ failure. I was to high risk for surgery last Oct. My primary raised my thyroid medication. In November when it was tested again I was 3.8. My surgery was 2/9.

I'm 10 weeks out. I've been able to take large sips of Water since surgery. But your nerves in your tummy are still in shock and may not be registering pain/fullness yet. I'd take it easy for now. Just because you can does not mean you should. This is the "honeymoon" stage. Take full advantage of it.

I'm interested in premier for creamer. Is there a flavor you use? Do you add the powered or a premixed shake?

Definitely speak with a nutritionist. You're over a year out. Your bodies needs have changed. Best to seek out experts advice. That said....I think you should really be tracking your intake. A year out calorie intake is really important.

My surgeon suggested room temperature liquids or warm were best right after the surgery. I followed that and had no problems. I was only required to get 32oz of Fluid the first 2 weeks.

Caffeine can effect healing and cause other issues after surgery. I am now 10 weeks post-op (sleeve) and am allowed one caffeine drink a day. Which I don't have. It's just no part of my life now. I drink Decaf coffee. I use premier protien shake for my Creamer. Works perfect for me.

I understand your frustration. This has been happening to me. I'm almost 5 weeks post op and have been so disappointed in my weight loss. I also have found myself up a pound and slowly down. The dieticians do not prepare us for the types of weight losses and when we eat so little, it is natural to assume that we will lose more weight than we have ever before on previous diets. Not so!! I am not sure of the reason but the body does not respond that way. I am at the point where I take what I get, don't question it. Keep doing the program recommendations. A few days ago, I met a woman who had a bypass 5 years ago and she told me it was months before she had any results in losses. Also, if you did not have a high BMI to start, it will take longer I'm told. Watch the salt content on your liquids.

No, your not eating to much food. Depending on how much you are exercising, you may not be eating enough. I had my stall the 3rd week post-op. It lasted 10 days. Stalls are natural. We're going to experience them frequently during our weight loss. Maybe try only weighing yourself every 3 days or once a week.
As long as you are getting your protien and fluid goals, getting some form of exercise then you are doing all you can do. The rest is up to your body.
