That's funny so is mine. What types of things have you been eating?

Fish and shrimp with veggies. I had a few French fries because I was too lazy to cook but nothing worse than that. I'm still only able to eat a few bites of whatever I eat so I'm surprised to see the scale go up. Maybe I'm not taking in enough Water.

Have you experienced any weight gain since your girlfriend came?

I have had a stand still and a 2 pound drop. I am trying to get better on my fluids as well I usually get down in the 40's Fluid wise but I was told that is fine at this point.

I've been doing yogurt, refried Beans, Soups, eggs, puddings. Doing good to get 40 oz of Fluid. I really need to work on that. I made some chicken in the crockpot and was able to eat a few bits with BBQ Sauce.

I am down 19 pounds since surgery; however, my weight has been at a standstill for the past 5 days.

So it's not normal to gain? I'm only 18 days out!!! I bought some Fiber gummies today since I haven't had an unassisted BM since surgery.

3/15/16 Sleeve Surgery Here.

I've hit a weight loss slow already and having trouble getting everything in that they want me to ... Protein, Water, even food. My "menu" shows 1/4 Protein, 1/8 cup starch & 1/8 cup fruit or veg. and I can only get at most 1/2 of that in.

Of note ... do not attempt carbonation - I did at a bull roast and ended up in the bathroom throwing up bubbles.

I have lost 36 lbs so far including some on the pre-surgery liquid diet.

My starting weight was a healthy but fluffy 330.

I've reached my first goal of pre-kids weight and under 300 lbs ... I am now at 294.

I set goals in my mind by 10 lbs because each time I drop 10 I feel I've accomplished a lot.

My overall goal is 145-165 ... I have a long, long road ahead.

Thoughts, comparison, tips welcome.

Also I'm getting ready to switch to Isopure clear protein - I'm sick of flavors and I think that is part of my intake hurdle.

Need a better Vitamin though ... doc wanted me to take flintstone complete ... I'm on opurity optimized for bypass and sleeve. I'm sick of this taste too. I'm thinking of a liquid to get it down and done. Thoughts?

And finally, congratulations to everyone for taking this journey ... it's not easy but it will be worth it. I'm happy there are support groups and tons of resources for us all. Knowing your not alone makes a huge difference.

Have a great day!

I understand your dilemma. I'm in the same boat. I just ordered some flavorless Protein to help me reach my Protein goals. I haven't been able to consistently meet any of mine either. I don't know if that the reason for my slow weight loss.

I wish us all much success. I'm sure we things will get better. It's a major adjustment to make and we are just beginning a long journey.

My nutritionist told me 99% of us will experience a weight loss stall at the 3 week mark. Just to drink enough Water and try to get in my Protein. I too got some unflavored Protein. So sick of the flavored shakes. I get to start soft foods Wednesday!!! So excited about that. I'm over puréed foods to the point I want to gag. I've lost 32 lbs as of this morning. Still a LONG way to go! I'm taking the flintstones complete and added Biotin this week too to help with hair loss later on. We got this!!!

I'm adding Biotin this week as well. I'm hoping my Dr releases me to work out at my appt. Wednesday. I'm sure that will help!! I'm down 28 lbs as of this morning. It's really showing in my face. Hopefully the rest of me will catch up soon.

Start my two week pre-op in the morning. I tried for a couple days last week and it was very hard. I must do this as my surgery is April 27
