My nut said no raw veggies until two months frm surgery date. Something about it possibly getting stuck.

Good thing I didn't do it!!!

Why can you not keep things down suddenly?

I think dehydration is setting in. I know I'm not getting enough Water and I was dehydrated once before (pre surgery). I'm just sitting here now trying to down water

If you can get some Gatorade G2 (low calorie) it would really help with the dehydration. Or some Water with electrolytes in it. The gatorade saved me. About a few days after surgery, I woke up with a dry mouth and a headache. Got some gatorade and made it my mission to drink it every few minutes. I didn't want to end up in the ER on an IV bag. I hope you feel much better very soon :-)

You're welcome :-) hope you're feeling better now.

So, I thought I might have broke my stall. NOPE. I've been at or around the same weight for almost 3 weeks now. I'm following every single thing that my surgeon said to do. I called the Drs office to see what they suggest.

They just said it was normal. Blahhhh.

Also I'm cleared for exercise Monday Aug 5th. The nurse said no lifting heavy weights or strenuous workout or hard running on the treadmill because that can cause a hernia this early out from surgery.

Is anyone else still in the middle of a stall?? How long? And does anyone have some words of wisdom? I'm becoming really frustrated and want to see that scale move :-(

I thought I broke my stall too. Nope! 10 days at the same weight this far other than some minor ups/downs! It is depressing! I am still logging all foods, watching liquid and Protein intake and walking as often as I can. Hopefully it will move again soon!

I think I keep having mini-stalls, or maybe this is how it goes for me. It's inching down very slowly. Very. The weight definitely isn't just flying off.

I've been doing very light exercise. Maybe I need to step it up.

Ok im feeling frustrated at this point and a little disappointed. I woke up this morning emotional and discouraged. I think im doing everything im supposed to I get 70 to 90g of Protein in and walk just about everyday and the scale just will not move!! The whole point of me getting the sleeve was to start seeing some results from my hard work because pre op due to my thyroid issuse id do what I was supposed to with little to show for it! Now im even more focused and expecting to see results and nothing!! Sooo frustrating!!! Honesty im over it today...tomorrow is another day and I will try to maybe incorporate more exercise and Water intake... :-/....sorry just needed to vent!

I woke up feeling the exact same way! I stood on the scale this morning and prayed that it would move. Nothing. This has been about 11 days now. It is so depressing but my husband is ready to hide my scale from me! Ugh...

      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.
