So I have done great with water and protein until 2 days ago. I am 3wks & 3days out. I am now having nausea not stop and food sounds awful to me. Has anyone else struggled like this? I vomited last night, otherwise just nausea. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

So I don't know if it's that I am barely eating pureed food, but I eat just a small amount and I am full but not satisfied. Maybe it's only eating one thing at a time and lacking variety. Anyone struggle with this and have ideas? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

You will lose again!!! And 25lbs in a month is a huge loss. When I feel stagnant I focus on increasing protein and water and things move again. Have patience, you didn't gain the weight overnight either. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

How far out are you? I am down 16% of my goal from surgery day. 36% from my highest recorded weight (that was on prednisone). Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

... Also, on another note, I was at King Soopers the other day and saw protein-infused water in the diet/exercise supplements section of the store. I was intrigued to try it out but considering it's $10 for four bottles, my attitude quickly shifted to "screw that". Ok girl, I tried Isopure protein water and hated it. It was the smell that got me and I could not drink it. So in my opinion I would steer clear. I did by genpro unflavored protein powder and it goes great in soup, so that may be an idea.

Thank you for that perspective. I can barely rat 3 meals a day now, but it's good to have that in mind as I work on my routine. I had previously read eating every 3 hours was best. Prior to surgery I was eating 3x with 2 optional snacks. I honestly never ate more than 2x per day before but I ate poor choices and large portions. I think the sleeve was a perfect choice for me because of that. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I think stalls happen and we just have to face them. I upped my protein and broke mine in 4 days, I am still pretty early on, 3 weeks tomorrow. But I totally stressed it too. I am down 20 lbs since surgery. 36 since preop diet. I don't see it myself but my clothes fit differently and my hubby sees it. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Baritastic is a good app that focuses on protein, water, carbs. It has a reminder function, I added one for vitamins. What are the dangers of eating too often? I don't have my post op class until October as it takes 6 weeks to get to solids on my surgeon's plan. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm going to buy these OhYeah! Bars for my desk at work. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Not that I found but I bought genpro unflavored protein powder to add to my soup. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Tomato soup works well for me and I add genpro unflavored protein powder to it. Puree diet is tough but it's a short term thing. Stalls happen even in the first couple weeks but they do end. You will lose again. It hurts something awful but has been totally worth the loss. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

That is totally how it happened for me. 1 Bute I was good, the next in pain. It was super intense pressure in my stomach and chest. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Look not to frighten you but yes I have seen this and it's not great. Keep working with your PCP to get referrals and make sure you are meeting calorie needs, like drinking high protein shakes in the meantime. Have you seen your original surgeon again? Mine will follow me for life. Or find a bariatric center and consult them. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Whenever I feel like food might take control I repeat "eat to live, not live to eat" several times. Then I remind myself that is not the last ______ (cake/candy/French fry), I can have some another day when I am healthy. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Please check with a pharmacist before pulling capsules apart. Not all can be pulled apart without complications such as extended or controlled release pills. This can cause dangerous complications with some meds, such as blood pressure pills (Just one example). Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm so sorry you guys stalled. But glad to hear I'm not alone and it's part of the process. I assumed but got nervous too. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I stalled at the 2 week Mark and bounced between 279 and 280 for 4 days Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

How long have people stalled? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Made a huge mistake and ate 2 bites too many. So painful. Lesson learned. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had to track too. And have managed pain and nausea plus walk a certain distance. Honestly I was so well cared for, but I am a nurse in the same hospital (different unit). I only nlknew 1 CNA and she was a personal friend but a surprise to see her there and I was kind of babied. It was comforting especially while I was miserable and vomiting. But I was so happy to get home to my own bed and husband Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Man I feel cheated and jealous! I am supposed to do puree for 2 weeks. I feel I could avoid more carbs on soft/regular. But oh well. I was in the hospital 2 days because of vomiting day 1. Doing ok since. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh cool we are very close. You are doing great. What are you eating? Are you on puree? I am struggling with that. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

When was surgery for you? I am at 2 weeks today and almost to 5%. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hang in there girl. Remember this, we WILL lose substantial weight, all of us, but we have to keep it off [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Can anyone share acceptable puree ideas? The baby food chicken/peas are killing me [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
