I was just sleeved 4/7/15 and 5 days later I am down 8.5 lbs woohoo!! Seeing the weight come off motivates me, but I do have to admit that I am tired of eating Soups. Anyone have an suggestions besides Soups and Protein Drinks for my next week?

Congratulations and welcome to the losers group :-)

Just stick to Soups and Protein Drinks and maybe gatorade. Your sleeve is healing so let it rest. The time will go quickly!

Congratulations on the weight loss sleevediva2! I agree with peekaboo. Just follow the plan and you will be fine. She's right - time flies! Try mixing fruit into your Protein Shakes. I've changed mine up a little by adding bananas and frozen strawberries or tropical fruit, and have also added sugar free flavor syrups (caramel, peach) and extracts (rum, vanilla), & spices(cinnamon, nutmeg, Apple pie).

I'm just going into my second week (sleeved April 1st), but although the scale is not moving I wonder if you're losing inches?

[p3aCH3s 17]

I'm about to hit 3 weeks on wed . I started working out when I hit 2 weeks , I'm sure inches are coming off .. but I want the numbers on the scale to move. I've been the same weight for the last 5 days. I hit 14 pounds weight loss before I actually hit my 2 week. Now nothing @@brandnewme2015

Could be that you are adding muscle if you've been exercising - but I wouldn't be too discouraged if the numbers aren't moving. There are many non - scale victories to be had (more energy, clothes fitting better, etc.) 14 lbs is still a great loss and you will see those lbs melt away in the next several months if you keep up the good work I'm sure. Don't be too hard on yourself and be patient with those numbers.

someone else also said it could be muscle but idk ... your right I do need to be patient , I guess when u see how little your eating your expectation is that the weight should be falling off .

If you are allowed you can add yogurt. or kefir. Honestly the full liquid stage just isn't fun. Just remember it's only a few days.

Step away from the scale. Weighing yourself more than once a week will make you crazy.

Yes!!! That's scale can derail! Focus on over all health.
