How are you doing ? What are you eating ? How is weight loss going ?

18 pounds lost since surgery (I need to get serious about walking). Eating mostly my shakes along with greek yogurt, egg whites, cottage cheese. What about you?

I am 3 weeks out tomorrow and down 12 pounds. I am eating Protein Shakes, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, applesauce ... I get to start eating real food this Wednesday after I see my nutritionist.

My new stomach/sleeve feels fine, tolerating everything so far. I am still having pain in the abdominal muscles, though, which is frustrating. It is the central two incisions and only hurts if I bend at the waist. I haven't taken any pain medication since 5 days after surgery. I am looking forward to the muscles healing and being able to be more active without worrying about hurting myself.

I was sleeved on 09/18 and I've lost 21 pounds. Have been in a bit of a stall for the past 10 days but I'm still pleased with my weight loss so far. Tried cottage cheese, which I love, and it made me ill. Same with eggs. I can eat string cheese, any kind of yoghurt, applesauce, Soup, the odd Protein Shake. Invested in a box of Protein Bars and only managed to eat half of one as they are huge. Been having diarrhoea off and on, but I'm not sure if this is related to my sleeve as a few people have been off in my work. Been sick a few times but this has been mainly due to me drinking too quickly. It is mainly trial and error just now. No problem with my incisions and my stitches were out after 10 days. My doctor has already dropped 2 of my 4 blood pressure pills. I go back to see him on Wednesday and we'll see what my BP is like then.

This has been the best decision of my life and I don't regret it one bit.

Hi! I will be three weeks out on Wednesday. I did have a bad infection in one of the incisions, the one on the right abdomen, which is the one where they pull the stomach out thru. I also had my gallbladder out at the same time, and they think that is what caused the infection. So....I am dr. ing that, but other than that, I feel great. Still on puree, will start softs on Tuesday. Still off work, dr. didn't want me back until I am more healed. Oh....lost 25 pounds since surgery, but......pants still as tight as they were before surgery!! Not regreting this at all!

Sleeved 9/18, so 3 1/2 weeks out. I'm eating scrambled eggs, smoothies, Greek yogurt, Soups, chicken (which I either chew to death or purée), chicken salad, cream of wheat,

oatmeal, SF pudding and SF Popsicles. Last night I had a few bites of filet minion and it went down fine. I've been walking 30-45min a day, but no other exercise.

Oh and I'm down 25lbs (starting weight 234.4, current weight 209.2).

Ok so Hello Everyone! This is my first post. I will be three weeks out on Tuesday. Post op I was 232 pounds and now I'm 201 pounds. Is that too fast?

[cindyc 3]

4 weeks out, down 30 lbs... Can't do any dairy so having trouble with the purée part. Constant diarrhea even with SF pop cycles. I hope it gets easier

I'll be three weeks tomorrow. I've only lost 10 pounds from my surgery day. I feel like I'm doing something wrong because I'm reading other numbers like 20-30 pounds lost already! I'm allowed pureed foods now and I'm trying to eat some pureed meats for Protein, but I find I'm still getting most of my protein from shakes. food doesn't sit too well in my stomach yet.

I will be three weeks on Tuesday. I started at 221 and at 10 days post op I was 201. However, I have not seen the scale move since. Very frustrating. I am on full liquids, so I am eating cottage cheese, greek yogurt, Soups, yams. I am having a lot of trouble with Protein Shakes. I seem to be allergic to them. I have tried Unjury and Vitamin Shoppe brands so far. Proti something seems to be ok, but I only have the grape drink which is very thick, yuck! I also have trouble getting in 64 ounces of Fluid. I Have a 20 oz coffee n the a.m. and then I forget to always carry a drink with me during the day as I run errands.

I was sleeved on 9/18. I'm down 30 pounds I've been cleared to eat solids and so far everything goes down just fine. I eat greek yogurt, home made Turkey chilli, Turkey meatballs, veggies burgers, baked chicken and fish. Just no carbs or sugar I'm afraid of both.

This morning I had grits... Didn't stay down long because I ate it too fast... That is all I had today because my stomach feels bloated now. I am 20 days out
