Its been a while since I posted. I been on the phase 3 soft foods for over a week now. Is it only me that only eat maybe once a day approximately 4-6 bites, and a Protein Shake. Is that normal?

I can't eat very much either. I am doing good to get two bites of egg for Breakfast, a bite of yogurt for lunch and then about two bites of creamed Soup for dinner. I was sleeved on 9/3. Nothing tastes good and most everything makes me nauseous. I am just pushing Water and sugar free popsicles...trying to stay hydrated.

So ridiculously excited. My mom is discarding some clothes that are too big for her and has insisted I try them on. I fit into a 1X t-shirt pre-op that she was insistent on, and today fit into an XL cami. That was exciting. I have been wearing 4X, sometimes 3X, forever! Yay! Also bought a couple of 2X activewear tanks.

I am starting on the soft stag ruby there is no way I can eat enough to get in the needed Protein. I scrambled 2 eggs today with some cottage cheese And could only eat 1/2. On this stage I am not suppose to drink Protein Drinks. Anyone else have this issue

I can only eat one egg. Normally I add cheese. I probably should get some cottage cheese in stead of cheddar. I had no issues with gas pain until 2 days ago. I was totally caught off guard, with this pain. But it comes with this process :/

Good morning all,

I am 27yrs old from Chicago, Illinois. I had The Sleeve surgery / VSG in September 2012, two years ago. It was the best decision I've ever made, no regrets at all! I started at 248lbs and currently weigh 150lbs. I stopped losing weight after one year, but I've maintained a healthy BMI.

To everyone who has had weight loss surgery; you know how amazing it is, even through our struggles. To those of you who are awaiting surgery; be patient.. It will be one of the greatest things you have ever done. GOOD LUCK!!! :) And also, don't let anyone tell you it's an easy way out. Once in a while, I still battle those junk food cravings.

I wish you all the best in the world!!!!

thank you for this motivation!

i don't think so. I'm suppose to eat every 3 hours- 2-4 oz.

What is ur prescribed eating schedule from ur doctor? I set my phone alarm for 7 am, 10, 1pm, 4, 7 and 10 pm. I'm 3 weeks post surgery tomorrow ( sleeved 9/16) 1st week was really difficult n started purées for 2nd n 3rd week.

Are u measuring everything u try n eat? If not, That might help. Otherwise I would def call ur doctor . I still don't get everything in, n it def depends on thickness and texture . How about everyone else?

      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.
