Hey gurl i rarely check this. im involved in the youtube wls community. find me under puuurdypatty

For the pureed diet, I would put chicken or beef into the blender with a little bit of broth. Then I added mashed potatoes with it. It tasted good. A lot of people thought it would be grosee, but it wasn't like a drink. It was tasty. Also try salmon or tuna. Adding mayo helps if not potatoes. Then eat yogurt or mashed bananas. I even put a hotpocket in the blender because I missed pizza so much. It didn't go down very well.

Its nice to find someone who had the same issues as I did. I got my 2nd fill after 3 weeks because I had lost no weight. I have a hard time with breakfast too. I thought it was my bad luck and I was going to be fat forever. But it has been 2 weeks since my 2nd fill and I lost 4 pounds the first week and 2 pounds the 2nd. My doctor said to drink a shake at 7am and 3pm and my weightloss will go faster. I can't eat solid foods in the am, they get stuck so I just have one shake for breakfast and then whatever for lunch and dinner. Though I am running out of ideas of what to eat. Any suggestions?

What words do I search on youtube? As of today I have lost 23 pounds. This 2nd fill has really helped. The first fill only worked the first week. I'm starting to figure things out. Some days no food goes down at all and its painful and frustrating, but I'd rather that be happening than being hungry all the time. I eat 2 times a day. And I have a protein shake for breakfast. I notice food won't go down in the morning. The shake really helps.

I am at 3.3 ccs filled. I have had restriction since 2.8 ccs. I dont feel hungry between meals since my last fill. I eat about 1 cup depending on the food. I eat 3 times a day. Hope that helps understanding good restriction. Ok weight loss so far...I am 69 lbs lost total since Oct. i have lost 37 lbs since surgery in Feb. What about yourself?

I hope it goes well with your port. Hopefully no surgery, unless it helps with the weight loss. My first fill was great at first but the past 2 weeks I noticed I was hungry a lot. I had to go in yesterday for more. I'm really nervous, it is so hard to figure out what is good restirction. My doctor said I should be okay for another 6 weeks. How is your weight loss going, besides the port situation?

Does weight loss pick up once you hit the sweet spot

I think you are doing fine. I also question if I am losing enough weight. I had to go in yesterday for a fill 2 weeks early. I only lost 2 pounds after a month of my first fill. I don't know what is a lot but now I have 4cc total. I have only lost 17 pounds so far and I am 2 months post op. Do you find it hard to know the difference between feeling full and restriction. Many times I feel hungry still but no more food will go down. Dont' be discouraged, you seem to be on the right track! -
HEY there how are you? As for me, well I just found out my port has flipped on it's side. Doc said they might have to revise it! Ahhh another surgery! If they cannot access it for fills, and unfills or if it causes me pain. I am so worried!
-
I'm glad you looked it up. I thought I was taking it as an antibiotic. I think it serves as both. Thanks God I only had to do it for 2 weeks. I still have the bruises. I should take a pic and post it!

I had a hiatal hernia too. You already had a fill? My first fill will be the last week in March. When I went to my 2 week post op on 2/24 I was down 15 pounds since surgery. They told me not to expect any more weightloss until my first fill UNLESS I only eat 1/2 cup each meal. Then I may lose more. Well, I can eat normal now so half cup just isn't enough. But I have been eating low calorie, low fat, sugar free foods and doing the treadmill so I at least won't gain weight. I've been very lucky not to have acid refulx anymore. No more sleeping sitting up! But since I have been eating normal I haven't lost any more weight. I'm just trying to be patient until my next fill and keep myself motivated to stay active and smart eating. I'm curious as to how you are doing now as well. It seems everything changes weekly, doesn't it? How are your incisions? Mine are almost gone. I'll have a scar from my liver one because it did get infected for a day.
