So ive been reading up on this and i guess? Its normal but talk about depressing!! Its almost been 2 weeks (on Tuesday) and my scale has not moved AT ALL im at my 4th week post op tomorrow. I know i shouldn't weight myself daily but point is i do... its realllllly getting me down... in my head...its like calorie wise alone there's NO WAY im not losing.. when does this all get back on track?! Thanks

I def aim to hit my protein goal. Typically fall short but between that and water .. those are my goals! But YESSS that was my exact thought...i went through all this and thats it?!

That's what i was thinking.. start working out more! I should measure..i was just saying that the other day! I hope that's at least the case..i have a wedding coming up im in and its stressing me out even more!

I sure hope so, i follow everything and not eating anything i shouldn't. Just ready to be back on track 😩

Hello everyone! New here but loving the support cause i personally need it and love that im talking to people that can relate! So currently im 6 days post op. I feel amazing. No issue there..i feel my complete self i feel. A little tender still but not an issue im doing everything i normally would be! Sooo my current struggle... i mentally want food sooo bad. I want this to pass.. i feel like i have not ate in forever including my 2 week post op diet... lol i feel stupid feeling sad about it..but i am.. and like cooking the family meals and watching them eat all this deliciousness and there i sit with next to nothing! Its depressing tbh. ...i know this is what i want but damn lol..whys it so hard 😩 i scroll through pinterest looking at soft food for the next stage ..it makes me excited. I keep seeing a ricotta bake..i want it SOO bad.. scared some ones gunna crush my dreams n say i cant have it at that stage lol. Sure im not alone..just venting.... Xoxo

Omg yay! Its guna be heaven i know it! Ive got all the things i wanna try saved in my pinterest! (Only a few things cause they will last forever Haha) but still i can not WAIT! Like legit a countdown in my head! & yassss its so hard. Like even right now... husband just cooked spicy chicken wings... its 10 at night man..lol hes reallllly testing me lol. (Apparently dinner was not enough 😑) me on the other hand..i skipped "dinner" completely.. totally unsatisfying at this point... so ill just keep drinking! Keep strong! Ive had to pull sneaky moves like that at work too! Ugh. Not to mention..why are all these birthdays happening at the SAME TIME. And get togethers..labor day coming up... rather stay home... my daughter just had her 3rd birthday..i can't tell you how many times ive thought to myself...just lick the frosting..it won't hurt...NOPE! DON'T DO IT SARA! Lol. Or ****...let me lick your fingers 🤣🤣🤣 (desperate..i know! Promise only my sick inner thoughts..id never!)

Each day will totally get better. Im 6 days post op and feel really good. I felt great yesterday too. I think sense day 4 i have been sleeping on my sides and belly with no issue (lol a big highlight in my life..im not a back sleeper) i would def recommend just keeping up on ur protein and water.. makes a huge difference i feel.. i skipped stuff sorta one day and i FELT IT..i had NO ENERGY and that sucked.. won't make that mistake again.

The thermos idea is genius! Im over here eating cold soup......("eating"..humm...not exactly) but i didn't do any prep..not really needed.. your so limited to what you can have. But b4 hand i would stock up on the few things you will need.

Omg yess the coughing! I avoided it. Watch out for sneezing.. scared the crap outta me the first time i did.. was not sure if i should hold my tummy or cover it lol. But it hurt!

Had mine done 8/24 so 6 days post op. I feel good. Healing nicely. Have not felt sick once thank God. Getting my water in is a struggle. That's prob currently my biggest issue. I was bummed when i got out of the hospital And my weight was up but they pump so much crap in you, its to be expected. My highest weight was 256. I was 236 surgery day and im 232 today. No regrets

I went in fully thinking i was doing the sleeve. 1 session with my surgeon And he conceived me otherwise. I didn't once think back to maybe i should stick to the original plan. He said its been around alot longer. Better results and he felt really confident in doing it- SOLD! Lol. So far happy with my decision & 5 days post op.

This is so me! I am struggling and feeling so guilty that im not getting my fluids in like i should..i am only 5 days post op. So im on the liquid stage yet And i do protien drinks etc but i used to be a chugger..now its painful.. hoping im still so early on this changes!...does the straw drinking not effect you guys? Im trying the powerade zero..but so far my first one..still FAIL lol.. maybe im not a fan of the fruit punch one!
