Anyone else get to the soft diet phase and find that it just didn't taste like it used to??? Maybe thats a good thing but I got to eat eggs yesterday and was do disappointed.

It's been 15 days or me and I tried salmon yesterday. Took me 2 hours to get down a 2oz peice. It was so good but filled me up super quick. Planned on eating a tablespoon of cauliflower mash but that was out the question. I was stuffed. This is so funny how little fills you up. I thought i hit a stall but increased my fluid intake and the lbs came off this morning.

Hang in there! Only 1 more day.

Looking good. Hope to have these results too. .

Looking great!! Keep it up.

Congratulations!!! Look awesome. 35 more. Keep doing what your doing.

https://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau Took from another thread but it seems to be a normal thing. Hope this article helps.

Not snoring on a plane when I fall asleep. Being able to go to the pool with my daughter without a shirt. Never again hearing "What's up Big D."

Lol@sleevynicks. Someone told my wife to watch out for burps. I'm Still looking for that info.

3 days out I was on water. Didn't introduce hello or protein until day 4. Every doc is different. Try to follow your guidelines though. Be 100% sure you can have that stuff so early.

I hear it's common. Pulled this from another thread. Good explanation of what's going on. https://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau

Congratulations!!! St. Lucia is on my list as well. Would love to be able to go to the beach shirtless like other guys. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you fir the reassurance. Is it stupid that I'm dreading going back to work. I took some time off (2 weeks) and stupidly have anxiety over how noticeable it will be when I return next week. A few weeks ago I never would have cared.

How's it going? Hope all is ok today?

I agree... Each surgeon and person is different. I was sleeved on the 8th and like@reignmystic I'm waiting for that 14 day mark to start soft foods. I cheated a few days ago and painfully paid the price. Was looking forward to some eggs but anxious about the gas and if my tummy will take it. Down 22lbs in two weeks. I think I'm loosing way too fast. Doc says it's ok but I'm concerned.

Yes. I had it on the 8th. Very happy I did it. This was my first major surgery too. Only had my tonsils removed. Just pray and prepare mentally for the change. I'm sure you've watched a ton of vids and know what to expect. Just remember that everyone is different. The stories I've read on here scared me actually and made me second guess it all. Just do what they tell you to and follow it to the letter. You'll be ok. I'll be praying for you.

My NUT was over 300lbs and was sleeved over 3 yrs ago. She's looking great and if she hadn't told me she was sleeved, i wouldn't have known it. She keeps it confidential and doesn't let many people know but trust me you can do it. I also look at people starting weights to see if there is a comparison and I seen quite a few that were over 300 doing well today. It's normal to be nervous. I had second thoughts as well but I said to myself that if I didn't let everyone else stop me from getting to this point, i'm not going to stop myself. When's your surgery?

I'm ready too. I just want some variety to breakfast. Egg or oatmeal sounds nice right about now. Just a few more days.
