2 weeks no weight loss. GAINED.
stayathmmom3 replied to c86mc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would up your protein to between 90-100 grams and for fruit just eat berries they are the lowest in sugars and carbs. My doctor also says to stay away from fruits until goal. What kind of yogurt are you eating? Some are pretty high in sugar. I eat Greek okios zero or dannon light and fit Greek yogurts. It is very normal to stall and gain a couple of pounds at around 2 months out. It happened to me and was feeling the same way as you. I sometimes do a liquid day or two when I see things slowing down that seems to help. I hope this helps you Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -
First bowel movement after sleeve

Stool softener works but not immediately. Dulcolax is what I take. Once I was able to eat solids I eat half an apple and the next day I can go. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -
Drinking alcohol after surgery
stayathmmom3 replied to jmc534's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You need to be careful with alcohol. Wls patients can become alcoholics, by trading one addiction for another. Not only is it empty calories but our bodies no longer process alcohol as it did pre-surgery. If you're going to be drinking be careful driving. You may feel fine but if you got pulled over you more than likely will blow over the limit even though you feel fine. Not only that but you're in your honeymoon phase still so may not effect your weight too much but definitely will after you're out of your honeymoon phase. I have seen it with someone I know and they are now having a hard time losing even gained some weight back because of drinking and that person does cross fit at least 6 days a week but what good is the cross fit going to do if you're going to go and drink on weekends and put all that hard work to waste by putting all those empty calories back into your body. I personally want to get to my goal weight as soon as I can and I know drinking alcohol is not going to help me get there. This is a decision one has to make for themselves.
