Anyone else 3 weeks out ?

[JanetPRN 496]

I was sleeved 9/24 and I'm down 21 lbs (including 1 week pre-op.) I have not seen the scale budge too much this week. I honestly believe its because I am not eating enough. It's a huge struggle to get to 600 cal and to drink enough. If I get less than that or dont drink enough that scale does not move! The one day I got to 650 cal, I lost almost 2 lbs!

I would never have thought that eating enough would be a problem, but its still early. I am more focused on the changes going on. I am just trusting in the process. The way I see it, the only way for me to fail is to sabotage myself, and I have no intention of letting that happen.

Thanks for all the replies !! It looks like we are all pretty close with our weight loss and recovery but I feel like I'm the only one that is still on full liquids I'm soooo ready for some variety, I know I'm not getting in enough fluids or Protein but on the plus side I have never once missed my Vitamins which for me is a huge accomplishment. Keep up the good work everyone !!

I am 3 weeks out tomorrow and down 12 pounds. I am eating Protein shakes' date=' 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.[/quote']

I am having almost the same experience. Those 2 incisions are driving me crazy. I feel fine and then I bend over or turn a certain way and then the pain strikes. I have lost 26 lbs since the start of the whole process. I can't wait to lose more.

Band07 looks like you and I are still on full liquids. I have to do it for another week. I am planning on calling my surgeon's office today since my scle hasn't moved. Maybe the NUT will give me some other ideas. If so, I will share.

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 too am three weeks out and have only lost 10 lbs i think its just slower for some more than others

I will be 3 weeks out on Wednesday. I've lost 30 lbs. so far, but my scale hasn't moved any the last two days. I wish I could stop weighing every morning, to prevent getting discouraged. I'm doing soft foods, such as fish and eggs, and that's going down good. So far, I've not had any problems
