If you can't eat solids, then you are too tight. You should be able to eat meat and even veggies. Have your tried to eat meat or are you scared to try? If you have tried and can't then you need to call the doctor and tell him.

I agree, it sounds like you are too tight. I can eat any type of meat, as long as it is nice and moist. Moist chicken or a good filet mignon go down well for me.

My second fill was too much. however, due to time and "not sure what to expect/do/how long will last" i waited. It has been a bit over 2 weeks and I can just now eat some meat. It has NOT been fun. I would recommend getting a little bit out. I have a demanding job and 2 kids as a single mom, and have been running. Each of the girls have been sick and my teen is into finals and got a cut on her cornea. I didn't take the time for ME, but I sort of regret it. Actually, I also thought I would lose more weight, and did, but to ao point. You get sick of the mushies so you wind up having ice cream and milk shakes something i haven't really done since being banded. I also realized that the chips do go down. However they are UN HEALTHY and FATTENING!! So, yes i still lost weight, but probably not as much as i would have had i gotten some taken out. Also, by not having as much "good" food that i used to have, i was very lethargic. So, this also stagnates the wweight loss. I am up to 56 lbs gone, but my quality of life the last 2 weeks has been not nice.

Summary: Go back, have them take a bit out and do the usual that you were doing, you will lose the weight and STILL have good quality of life. After all, this should be fun and it WAS until my second fill.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
