I’m down 42 from surgery (3/7) I average around 2lbs a week. I’ve hit two stalls that lasted 2-3 weeks each time. Stay focused! You got this one step at a time. You’re 40lbs less than you were!

The hair loss really is horrible. How’s the two working for you? I’m just going to start the biotin.

Sleeved 3/7 and down 33lbs from surgery date. Total of 73lbs since first weigh in at the seminar in November. I tend to freak out like how have I only lost 33lbs since surgery.

I will join the Friday weigh ins, been in a bit of a stall past 2 weeks and it’s been extremely frustrating. Clothes continue to get loose to the point where it’s time to retire stuff , so that’s still motivating. If only the scale would stop making me crazy! HW: 333 SW: 293 CW: 269 Sleeve 3/7/18

Since surgery on 3/7 I’m down 23# but for the last week and half I’ve stayed within a pound of the same weight. I’m still on the final soft stage so my foods are still limited, so this “stall” is a bit confusing for myself as well. I did battle a stomach flu last week for a day plus a day recovery that I didn’t get to exercise. How do we get outta this stall??

I had mine during and they let me keep a pad and underwear on during.

I have identical HW/SW stats as you with a surgery date of 3/7. It’s funny because most people tell me they notice it in my face! Congrats thus far, it feels great right?

I was drinking premier protein shakes pre and post surgery and it constipates me very bad and causes a lot of trouble. Can anyone shed light on their protein choices and how they effect their BM’s

Alternatives to protein shakes? These are really messing my tract. That’s with taking colace daily and benefiber added to water. I had issues during pre surgery and that was only 1 a day. Now 2 a day is hurting. I’m drinking around 3-4 water bottles a day Luckily I have a doc appt today and start purée.

Awesome thank you I’m going to go to the store and look for these. Do you know from what you’ve tried if the Strawberry has chunks or not?

Hi all, I’m currently wondering if anyone knows how much sugar we should be minding post op when it comes to yogurt ? I don’t see doc till Tuesday and hoping to get an appt with the NUT for questions like this. Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge. My favorite has always been the Greek whips 100 cal , 9g protein but 12g sugar

Yeah I’m doing around 2-3 oz and just starting to get full 2 protein shakes. P

Curious with our post op friends - how many Ounces is everyone having for soups ?

I believe my doc keeps us on this next “stage 2” for 2 weeks then I go to the puréed. Baby steps gets us there too!

I’m 6 days post op and on liquid diet. I’m scheduled to go to doctor today and get the push to the next stage which includes yogurt , sugar free pudding, farina. I’m not hungry but I sure miss texture lol. My doctor allows crystal light but only listed lemonade and iced tea. I wonder if I could have other flavors. It’s on my list to ask today. Last night was first night I slept on my stomach and oh what a great night of sleep it finally was!
