Same date..hope you are feeling well now?

First 9 days I lost 20 pounds too, then I stopped. I was not gaining but not losing either. The doc said my body is in starvation mode as well, but if that's true then you are not eating enough or not eating the right food lol. That's why your body is storing more; if you're ever going to take carbs make sure it's in liquid form and not much. Chew your food as much as possible. Be conscious of what you eat, dont wait to get filled up. Dont go back to the same routine and add in a few walks, here and there. Good luck

I was still on liquids at that point tbh... but it's better now. And I cannot lie, carbs did it for me! Maybe because my culture, our main cuisines are carb based, so when I moved to carbs, I was able to hold it down. So now I take tiny bits of boiled yam, nigerian soups, I had boiled egg the other day etc...I felt great and happy! The only thing is I made sure to chew really really well. I'm about 20days post op now. Also during the time I wasnt able to eat, I stopped losing weight! The doc said it's because my body went into starvation mode; I wasnt peeing, wasnt able to empty my bowels, always lying down etc. It's hard sticking to british diets that I'm not used to, soups I never had in my life before. But once I switched to my Nigerian meals, things got better gradually. Just ate slow, chewed well and never ate more than 5 spoons.

I have been battling with eating, still barely sipping my liquid foods and protein shakes. But any time I eat or attempt to, I feel dizzy and can barely eat enough. No pre-conditions before surgery and I lost 20+ pounds in 9 days post surgery. After eating i have to lay down or I'd pass out or fall. I start panting, breathing fast and I have to lay down to catch my breath. Anyone has this....I'm just now 10days post surgery.

Reached out to the team, they have said its 'dumping' which also happens with gastric sleeve. I am now 16days after surgery; I started trying soft food but no good. I can barely take a spoon before I get tired. But hoping things will get better before the 1 month mark.

I have done this more than 4 times now...i am 11 days post op

Same...I had 14th as well...hope you are doing well?
