What were some of the first solid foods you tried?
LoriM13 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
What were some of the first solid foods you tried that went down well? I’m 2 weeks post op and beginning at 4 weeks I’ll start solids. I’m just trying to get some ideas! Thanks! -

I was at a stall as well, it's like after 4-6 weeks your body adjusts and tries to hang onto the weight we want to lose. I did all of the above and stepped up my exercise and started losing again. I'm close to 3 months, and down 30 # since sleeve surgery, total down 48# since March. Hardest thing to remember is losing weight slower versus all at once is better for you, and it will happen in time. -

I also scaled back on introducing new food and went back to the soft food phases for a few days and I also increased my protein intake. For three days , I did all water and protein, no extra snacks. This seemed to help tremendously. -

Yep. The hospitals in Washington State are overwhelmed. The governor has mandated a four-week hold on any elective surgeries. -
Morning!! So I had my RNY in May 2020. Every thing has went as expected!! But now all of a sudden about 2 weeks ago I develop gas - horrible horrible painful gas with ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING I EAT OR DRINK!!!! Water I get gas, yogurt I get gas, cottage cheese I get gas, diet Snapple I get gas, tator tot hotdish = gas, so on and so forth. I literally started the journal but everything was causing it!!! Anyone else had this problem and what did you do?

My surgeon was nothing but supportive. She never chastised me for not reaching goal but encouraged me to keep trying lose another 20 pounds. She understood when I gained COVID weight. But as for you . . . you're still healing from the surgery. Your body is stall adapting and adjusting. You are about to hit a stall, by the way, just to let you know that everyone stalls starting somewhere between Weeks 3 and 5. Be kind to yourself. Don't let any negativity on the office staff's part get you down. You are on a journey. Good luck!

Be prepared mentally for some discomfort for a couple of weeks potentially. I never had any trouble getting in my water and protein nor did I have any pain, but some do. Are you having an overnight stay at the hospital? Pack light. You won't need pajamas. You'll need socks with non-slip soles. You might want chapstick. Bring your phone and charger. Be easy on yourself and don't expect results overnight. It's a process. WLS is just a tool, not the solution.

Questions about weight gain due to SSRI’s like Paxil before surgery…HELP!
Sleeve_Me_Alone replied to Renske's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I started on Depo and Prozac in Dec. 2017. At the time, I had lost 40lbs from my highest weight. Within a year, I had gained it all back. Its hard to say how much was from each, as they are both well known for weight gain. That being said, I had VSG in Sept. 2021, so nearing 4 months post-op and I've lost about 65lbs. About 20 of that was pre-op, 45 post-op. I figure that's pretty average, given my starting BMI, age, etc. I'm now 10lbs lower than I was before I started the meds, and at my lowest ever adult weight and the loss seems to be holding pretty steady week over week. -

Questions about weight gain due to SSRI’s like Paxil before surgery…HELP!
Summermoose replied to Renske's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hoi Renske! I’m Dutch too 😁 I know this isn’t exactly what you were looking for since I am no longer on Paxil, but I did gain a solid 15 kg on it. I was already well into the obese range when I started taking it though. After quitting (slowly over the course of three months) I didn’t have much success in shedding that weight and actually gained even more.. but I used to self-soothe with food. The weight is flying off now (4.5 months po), and it feels like my metabolism has had a big kick in the butt 😄 -
curious what is your weight and height? Mine said i would have to do the 2-3 week preop diet lol

Hello, I am just a week ahead of you and having much the same problems. Every time I try to eat or drink a new protein I am sick and nauseous for days. My team are worried I am loosing muscle mass as they say I have lost too much weight. I was told to eat 6 small meals. I can manage 4 tiny ones. I can eat tiny slivers of hard cheese, porridge, Melba toast, smooth pate, raspberries, Biltong, lollies, apple sauce, surimi sticks and drink a little milk. I am no where near any of my protein or water goals. I have managed all my meds and vitamins though, massive breakthrough. Lets just keep trying to do the right thing. Our teams will just have to be patient with us. I am very sure you will be a star student at the end of your journey.

How much weight did you lose per month after 6 months?
Arabesque replied to Rey Rodriguez's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
There are a couple of things you can pretty much depend upon after weight loss surgery. One: the more you have to lose the faster you’ll lose at the beginning. Two: the heady exciting weight loss rate you have at the beginning doesn’t continue. Three: the closer you are to your goal weight the more slowly you’ll lose. Welcome to experiencing the frustration of number three. The scale that hardly moves. Your goal weight is just there in touching distance. The days & weeks slowly pass with little to show…. But don’t worry, you will get there. Your weight loss is slowing because you’re eating more & are getting to the point where you are consuming the number of calories your body needs to function. Congrats on your weight loss so far. Whoo hoo! -
yes - not all surgeons require the two-week liquid diet. Consider yourself lucky...

How much weight did you lose per month after 6 months?
ShoppGirl replied to Rey Rodriguez's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Around 3-5 pounds each month but stalled at 10 months so far (6 pounds from normal BMI) ugh!! -
I think your weight loss sounds good. I was a slow loser and I am sitting (stalled unfortunately) at 9 pounds from goal now. It’s not a race to get there as long as you are losing and continue losing you will be fine. Honestly you are eating such small portions it doesn’t matter that much what you are eating now (within reason). My plan even included things like mashed potatoes on the purée phase which others cringe at. I think because of situations just like yours where it is all you can get down and you have to eat something.

You are doing fine, as long as you are loosing thats the main thing. I was unable to do shakes etc i lived of KFC mash and gravy and kids yoghurt pouches for my first 6 weeks. But you do need to watch your sugar intake but i think at this early stage as long as you get something in and you dont go over board you will be fine.

SleeverSk replied to ellie100's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi Ellie, i totally understand where you are at, I was the same if not worse. I spent my first 8 weeks curled up on my sisters couch feeling like my life was over. I cried everyday for the first 4 months i was miserable and deeply regretted the surgery. But it does get better i still have my moments but on the whole i am feeling much better. Feel free to reach out to me in pm if you want to vent chat or ask questions. Ps i did get councilling that might be a good option for you too. -

Thank you for your advice l appreciate your time. Has anyone got a 1200 calorie diet sheet that l can follow or a diet plan. The dietitian from the weight loss clinic. Just said cut down on normal food. After four weeks doing liquid soft and puree food. Is there anything research or information on this site.

How much weight did you lose per month after 6 months?
ninaslimsdown replied to Rey Rodriguez's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I’m 24, 173cm, my pre-op weight was : 256lbs (116kg) Surgery weight : 113kgs (249) Month 1 : -9.7kgs (21 lbs) Month 2 : -5.5kgs (12 lbs) Month 3 : -5.7kgs (13 lbs) Month 4 : -2.3 kgs (5 lbs) Month 5 : -3.1 kgs ( 7 lbs) Month 6 : so far -4,3 kgs (9lbs) Current weight : 83 kgs It’s been 6 months and 11 days since my surgery and I’ve lost 33 kgs since my preop weight. As you can see, sometimes the loss is very minimal, but visually I’ve lost a lot of inches, I’ve had a lot of stalls, but you have to focus on something else and remember that even if the scale isn’t budging you are STILL loosing and you’re still having amazing non scale victories. I’m still 13kgs from my goal weight, but since I started lifting weights, I don’t care about that goal weight and I just want my body to be strong and lean regardless of the number on the scale. Good luck !
