I have the same issue.. so strange. Not sure what causes it but it's been happening to me since my surgery in November every time I eat or drink. I also had Hiatal Hernia surgery, if you find out anything let me know.

Sounds like you are doing great, 20lbs in 6 weeks is really good. At 6 weeks out you shouldn't be able to really eat any meat. I think I started out with Tuna or Chicken salad before trying anything else. Are you drinking Protein Shakes? that will definitely help with getting the required protein in.

I started pre-op diet at 283, surgery weight 253 now at 196 for the last 6 weeks!! These stalls are killing me not to mention that I have been pushing what I eat which doesn't help with the stalls at all!! Need to get back on track, total loss of 87 lbs with 57 lbs since surgery.

I feel the same way, i had blood work done and all of my levels are good. I was sleeved Nov. 2nd and this has just hit me over the last three weeks or so and i just cant' get past it. I also use the Vitamin Patches but since the blood work came out good i believe they are working just fine. I have been dealing with a non-stop runny nose too, so weird!! let me know if you get any answers or start to feel better.

Sleeved 11/2/2016 5'6 SW 253 CW 207 I feel great but according to my scale I am losing muscle too, this has me feeling disappointed! I am walking and started weight training but not sure if that is helping.

sounds like a good plan, I feel like i'm obsessed with the scale!! I'm with you i had pant from 16-22 in my closet, I am currently in my 16's for the last week or so. I'm with you can't wait to shop at "regular" stores!!!

I'm 5 weeks out and the doctor approved solid foods at 4 weeks. I'm able to eat chicken breast, rotisserie chicken, potato's (which i don't do very often), Tuna, Chicken salad... etc.. the only things i am not eating right now is fresh veggies, salad, steak and i haven't really tried ground beef at all. I tried a meatball once and it didn't go down very well. i'll wait a few more weeks to try again. Still trying to eat low carb!!!

I had a hard time with fruits, maybe because of the sugar content. Have you tried cottage cheese or unsweetened applesauce? Those seemed to be the easiest for me to digest at first. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have the same issue and had my follow up appointment with my surgeon I Friday. I not only was dehydrated but started to lose muscle. I was tired and dizzy really not feeling good. Since then I keep my Water with me at ALL times and just sip. I feel better after just a day of getting 60oz. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes one patch is enough it has 200% of your daily value. I was sleeved on Nov 2nd and use them everyday. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am in my third week and have the same issue. Today I actually got sick not sure if it was the premier Protein shake which I only took a few drinks or the egg I had this morning. Very frustrated right now and my energy is draining!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

yesterday was my second day of puree foods and so in the morning i had 1/2 of a scrambled egg, drank 1/2 premier Protein shake for a snack and at lunch had 1/4 cup of cottage cheese with 4 small chucks of peaches pureed together, drank the other 1/2 of my premier Protein Shake and for dinner had 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes. i woke up at 1:30 in the morning feeling very sick, i felt terrible and couldn't go back to sleep. Did I eat too much? Very worried...

You may be right.. Water has been tough to get down. My doctors plan is purred food at day 13 to 30. I will push my self to drink more. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I used the small fruit cups I'll check the sweetener used. Thanks everyone for the advice. I will be trying one new food per day from now on. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I didn't purée the scrambled egg, maybe that was it. Should I try a hard boiled egg pured with light mayo? Maybe that will be better Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just left my surgeons office and i am down 25 lbs. he only needed me to lose 15 lbs so that is great news, I have been on the pre-op liquid diet for a week now and surgery is scheduled for November 2nd!! Yeah!!! He said I have done great and said that the night before surgery he wants me to have Pasta with red sauce (just a small amount)! I asked if it was a joke, he said he wants me to have some carb storage before since I will be on Clear liquids for days after. Anyone else had this option? Of course I have to eat before 7pm that night but what a surprise, feeling great and excited!

I didn't lose until all of my swelling went down. for me that was about 5 days it started coming off. Make sure you get plenty of liquids in, I know that is easier said then done but do your best!!

All Well I ate a small portion of Penne Pasta with red sauce on Tuesday November 1st and made it through surgery with no issues the following day. I was sent home early the following day and feel pretty good. the only issue I have and it's not really an issue is that I am still wearing pajamas and dresses since my incisions are pretty sensitive (or at least i think they are). I can't imagine putting jeans on right now! Lol i am on day 6 and have lost 7 lbs so all is good and not feeling hungry.

Hang in There, the first 3 to 4 days for me were the worst but after that I felt better. I'm on my 2nd week with surgery Next Wednesday. Good Luck with your surgery.

I don't plan on having much, honestly with how my stomach has shrunk I wont be able to eat that much anyway. I plan on eating whole wheat Pasta and just plain red sauce. I'll let you all know how I feel after, but i think weather I have carbs before or not I will always have an issue with them, that's how I got here in the first place.

Trekker954 - Wouldn't that be nice!! Lol I thought for sure i would be on liquid only but very excited for surgery now and a bit anxious of course..
