Hi Everyone, I have a few concerns: A) it’s time for me to start the soft food stage and I am still struggling with getting all 70/80 grans of protein in plus my 64 oz of fluids The scale keeps moving up/down 2 pounds (im about to kick the scale out!!) and Yes, I’m walking 10-20 minutes every day.. I’m C) I can’t seem to get a schedule with drinking and eating because I seem to forget that I’m thirsty and need to eat D) Anyone ever hiccup after eating and is this normal? E) Am I worrying too much? Help! Pre surgery weight: 303 Surgery weight :294 Weight now: 277 Mid goal weight: 250 Mini goal weight:200 Goal weight:180

I was sleeved on 3/19 and I’m in the same boat. Now I’m on the soft food stage and I’m not going to freak out about it even though I was hoping for more weight to come off [emoji17] I’m going to keep pushing on.

Thanks everyone I’m going to stop freaking out and take it for what it is..

Erika, this is simple..it’s your choice and your body. We can offer advice and stats and say what our surgeons did, but in the end it’s your decision. Sit down somewhere quiet and really think about this. I wish you the best in everything.

I’m 8 days post op and I’m basically tired and sleepy. I’m trying to get my all my fluids and proteins in. My skin is so dry no matter how much lotion I put on it and I feel like I’m not myself. Is this normal?

Constipation

What helped me was during the day I drank the liquids and in the evening my doctor allowed 3 oz of meat along with certain vegetables. Remember you have to shrink that liver so the surgeon can safely do the surgery. I know it’s hard, but you can do this.

How about drinking at eating anything cold?

I’m on day 4 of my liver shrinking plan and why am I looking at recipes and food!!? Am I the only one who’s doing their has done this? Help![emoji51][emoji20][emoji850]

I keep thinking about the outcome and not now and also keep moving. Thank you guys

Thanks for the word of encouragement [emoji3]

Hi, my surgery is scheduled for 3/19. I’m doing my 2 week preop diet and on day 3. I am allowed one low carb meal a day (1 protein +veggie). and pretty excited and anxious at the same time.

Congratulations!!
