I hit post too soon' date=' Mendif, lol. You've lost over twice as much as I have!! You've done an amazing job as well as some others on here... I'm just not one of them! Any secrets to ur success or advice for me? I would love to have just ONE month like that!! Keep up the great job!![/quote']

I'm just doing as my doctor said to as far as diet. liquid first two weeks, now a list of certain soft foods for the next three weeks, and finally at 6 weeks post op I get to start real food within reason because I also have a list of what I'm allowed to eat then. I eat or drink Protein Shakes 1/2 cup every two and a half to three hours I am supposed to get in 6 small meals a day! I've been surprised at the loss especially considering I have a auto immune disorder which gives me a slow thyroid! It's amazing because I lost 45 pounds a couple years back and it took me 6 months of going to the gym 3 hours a day 6 days a week. I am not exercising at all right now.

Your weight will come off too, just stick with it. I'm sure I will be in a stall for a while now as I lost the first pounds so quickly!

I've followed my diet faithfully but mine was different than urs...liquid the first week, then sot foods, etc. now I'm up to tuna, baked fish. Next week I can have hamburger! I have a list too! I sure have a lot of questions to ask on Monday, like how many calories per day, carbs, and fat especially. Thanks for the info, it helps me to accept my situation more!! I really appreciate you sharing with me! :)

For those on the third week stall... Your body is catching up to the massive change. Also look at everything entering your body and log your food in MFP. Also stay on your eating schedule like you are taking meds. I set reminders in my phone because I forget haha also get outside and start walking... I'm happy to report I am so in 1-derland this morning... 197.5 Can I get a HELL YEAH!?!?!? So 28.5 lbs so far... I think I just got over the stall but didn't weigh myself the whole third week... Just didn't see the point knowing the stall was going to happen, ya know? Also don't be eating more than a 1/4 cup of food at a time... It will be easier to get one more bite in... Don't!! Good luck everyone... Oh and I was sleeved Mar 13th... Ok headed to the lake for a workout and to get some Vitamin D! Holla for a dolla! Haha

I was sleeved on March 29th. Went to my first post-op Dr.'s visit on April 4th. Lost a total of 4lbs since surgery but am down a total of 21 lbs total with pre-op diet. On full liquid diet. Have a hard time with that some things just don't go down well. Yesterday I threw up because after walking I drank Water too fast. ? Should you wait 30 min between full liquid and water? Not sure? Going back to work tomorrow. Not sure if I'm ready but unfortunately I need to. Hoping I do well.

We're sleeve sisters! I was the 29th too, with similar losses....but I'm in the puréed stage. I did my elliptical for the first time yesterday....for about 4-5 minutes, lol. It's a start. I HATE walking outside out here in the country....too many things to bite me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
