melinda48 37 Posted January 14, 2013 Nov. 2nd. surgery date weighed 212 (I'm 5'6). As of today I weigh 185, so 27 lbs loss. Thought I'd lose it faster but then again I'm not starving myself or on a really restrictive calorie diet either.I just try to stay aware of what I'm eating and not consume too many calories. I can pretty much eat anything. The only thing that really gives me a problem is boiled/deviled eggs...odd, but I think it's because the egg takes awhile to 'break down' in the stomach? Otherwise no problem with rice,shrimp, bread and other foods some people have mentioned. I haven't tried a steak yet but hamburger hasn't given me a problem.

Your lucky I can't do rice and I'm not mad about that either. I haven't tried a steak either, I think I'll wait a little longer before I venture out to eat a steak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't tried a steak either' date=' I think I'll wait a little longer before I venture out to eat a steak[/quote'] I'm not allowed to try rice for 9 months which sucks because I LOVE sushi!! Steak I could puree at 3 weeks (never did - ew) and then eat at 6 weeks. I have eaten it frequently and it goes down better than chicken and fish! Just dont cook it well done. I hear it's only lap banders that have probs with steak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmc7467 9 Posted January 15, 2013 Hi all, my surgery date was Nov. 14 but I started the shakes Nov. 1st I've lost 43 pounds total so far, but I notice I'm slowing down a bit. Trying NOT to get on the scale daily anymore either. I keep having this fear that it will stop working, and I'll re-gain all my weight. I know that this won't happen, but it's just a fear i have. I have about another 40ish to go, and I'm running out of good recipe idea's. Anyone have some good ones? Good luck All! :wub: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2*see*me*again 9 Posted January 16, 2013 Hello everyone! I was sleeved on Nov. 1st and have lost 33 lbs so far. I haven't had any problems with any food since day one. My surgery and recovery was easy and smooth. The problem now is I have been at a stall for about 2 weeks now. I went back to my Protein Shakes this week because I wasn't getting in all of my Proteins with my meals. I try to drink at least 2 bottles of Water daily but I get so full when it comes to liquids. I only drink water because I don't really have the taste for anything else except maybe coffee in the morning. I don't know what else to try. I also started doing the stairs at work this week. 6 flights up and down throughout the day. I hadn't run into a stall until now. So do you think my stall just came later?

Melissa Carter 24 Posted January 16, 2013 hi 2 see me again- are you eating enough calories? I was sleeved on 11/21/12 and I have lost 39.5 lbs. I had the typical stall at 3-4 weeks, I increased my calories, Protein and Fluid and began to lose again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashelaine 383 Posted January 16, 2013 I've been having a rough week- I've had the flu and with so much drainage- I barely have room for real food. I've been drinking shakes to try and make up the room. The plus side- I'm down to 201.8. I have 2lbs to get to my first mini goal. I'm so determined to get to onederland!!

I had the typical stall at 3-4 weeks' date=' I increased my calories, Protein and Fluid and began to lose again[/quote'] I haven't really calculated my intake. I start Mfp then I forget. My surgeon also didn't say what I should be at or working towards. So I'm kind of just going with it. I go back to see him in Feb. and my dietician is across town from my job so I haven't had a chance to go see her either. How many calories should I be taking in daily? I'm afraid to eat a lot of things because I don't want to get into bad habits again. There isn't anything I have tried yet that has made me feel bad. So I can eat pretty much anything.
