Am I Doing This Right?

[TheNEWME! 121]

Hi!

I was sleeved on Oct. 30th. I just have a couple of questions relating to what I've been eating lately and wondering if I am sabatoging myself or if this is ok:

I am 21 days out and this is what I can eat so far (typically only less than 1/2 cup each time I eat):

tuna mixed with lowfat mayo

eggs mixed with a little cheese

String cheese

Refried Beans w/cheese

SF Popsicles

Low fat Cheese Sticks

Cream Soups

Does this seem pretty normal for the stage I'm in? Am I sabotoging myself? Why I ask is because this past week I only lost 1 pound... I'm not freaking out about it but I figure it's due to being on a total liquid stage and now starting to introduce more foods to the diet... am I correct in thinking this will slow things down a little?

I've lost about 25lbs so far, I'm so happy and excited and just want to keep doing the right thing. I'm also starting to exercise a little more harder and boy do I feel it!!

Thanks for anyone's advice. I appreciate it!

I think you are doing great and this all sounds good. I was eating all the same things except mayo- it made me feel really sick for some reason. Don't fret about the weight- I hit a 3 week plateau right around one month from surgery. So 1 pound is still really good. You are going to lose no matter what! Don't worry- enjoy the ride

Definitely sounds like the first stall has hit. Give it two or three weeks an see how it goes.

The diet looks about right: bland and totally unappealing, just like it should be at that stage.

Thanks for your input!!!! Do you think I'm eating too much cheese? ???

If you'll pardon me for this, but I believe only your BM can tell you if you've had enough cheese, if you get my meaning. Nutritionally, there ain't a whole lot of options in soft foods.

LOL!!! Totally know where you are coming from!! LOL

LOL I definitely eat more cheese since surgery myself. I love it!

I don't see much Protein in that list.

Are you getting the Protein in?

I hit the stall at 2 weeks it lasted until this week. I am 6 weeks out today. I kept losing inches and clothes kept getting to big though. scales didnt move for 4 weeks. Scales can be your enemy.

tuna, refried Beans, cheese, greek yogurt, all have protein in them... kind of why I chose them to eat... and I drink a Protein Drink in the am...sometimes in the PM as well.

Am I missing something... ?
