Had emergency surgery for a HUGE 8mm kidney stone 2 days ago. Still in a lot of pain and have to keep a stent in for 4 weeks. Thank you all so much for the thoughts and prayers!!!

I think my 5-week stall may have finally ended... :'D

Every time I lose 70 pounds, I hit a stall. However, I will not give up this time!

Scared about pre op diet. How can you feel full on a liquid protein shake? How did you get through two weeks of it??
-
I too had two weeks of liquid diet before my surgery and while yes I did have some headaches and hunger pains it is really doable. You should be able to drink anywhere between 4-6 protein shakes a day and reason for the protein shakes it so it keeps your fuller for longer. You can also speak to your nut or surgeon about having clear broths inbetween those shakes as well. Stay strong cause in the long run it is worth it for you will have a safer and healthier start to your journey. Good luck!

It was actually far easier than I expected. I did find taking time drinking each shake it seemed to work better than if I drank it down in a hurry.I did make mine with ice in them which made them seems thicker and again they took longer to drink. It is worth any hunger you go through to reach the goal of surgery. Good luck and congratulations on making this change in your life.

This past Monday I made 7 weeks post-op. Saw my doc and was told my daily portein intake should be 65 grams WITHOUT having to resort to shakes. WTW?!?! I am geting nowhere near that amount. Is anyone else having problems getting enough protein daily? Water? I was told at least 64 oz a day which is approximately 4 bottles of water - you would think that'snot a lot, but I can barely get 3 in a day. Please tell me I'm not alone in this.

@emilyphoenix74, seems you and I are in the same boat. This phase is a little frustrating.

3 Wks Post-Op Today! Down 16 pounds. A little slow since the first week, but I'm doing my best to be patient.

I've been on a one-week break from my fitness habits: Drinking wine with dinner, eating treat foods, logging haphazardly on MFP, and not keeping up with my exercise schedule. It's time to get back on track.

Ok. So still frustrated with the scale not moving, BUT , first NSV--a dress that did not fit last week, is almost ready to wear. Maybe with some spandex, but soon!,

Really frustrated! I assume my body is in shock from losing so much the first to weeks, and adding the multi vitamin with iron didn't help, and the monthly visitor, but seriously, gaining a pound??
-
So - hormones have totally caught up with me 7 weeks post-sleeve. I'm a raging lunatic today.

Well it is 6:47 AM here on the east coast and today I start my 2 week journey of only liquids prior to surgery. Went to see my Dr. yesterday he said everything looks great and was very confident with my surgery. he also said that many Sleeve patients have nausea for three days after surgery. He gave me a script to take 1 pill before I leave that morning and 2 more pills 1 for each day after, said that they were a bit pricey, when I went to the pharmacy they were $328.00 so I neglected to purchase them. I contacted the nurse and she said don't worry they would give me something in the hospital in I was sick. Were any of you very sick that made it had to drink?
-
I'm finally done being stuck. Scale number changed after two agonizing weeks. Onward!
-
ANOTHER stall ugh man!
-
I gained 1/2 this week and now that surgery is in aug they want me to focus more on my protein intake

Its been 1 week and 3 days since surgery and I'm down 10 lbs. So excited about this. But I am starting to feel a little depressed about food. In my mind I'm not going to be albe to eat the food I used to love in the quanity I used to love to eat it in. I know I did this sugery for a reason and I dont regret it for one moment but I do miss what I was able to used to do

Creeping, creeping, creeping toward Onederland......an average of a quarter pound per week.......so slow.....working on patience....will eventually get there and to my goal. Just wish it was more like a half pound a week average.

@Djmohr -- I feel your frustration and agree---a break would be nice....to show a loss without creeping back up even just a little.

For the past few weeks, I've had a hankering for a peanut butter cup, and have managed to resist buying any every time I've gone shopping. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is a favorite even though I'm not a choco-holic. Recently I've learned about PB2 powder and have found a recipe on Unjury that just might satisfy this craving and still have more protein and good stuff than bad stuff. I just ordered some PB2 to try. Will let you know how the peanut butter cups turn out.
