It sounds like you just hit a stall give it a week to week and a half. Also up your Protein. I was told to get between 70-100 g of protein a day. The scale will start moving again soon enough.

I was sleeved Feb 29th. Lost 28lb before surgery, then 16lb in the first 14 days after surgery before stalling. The stall lasted 2.5 weeks, and I am now losing about 3lb/week. Have lost a total of 51lb since Jan 1st.

I am not following the eating/drinking guidelines to the letter, but I am also watching my calories and not eating anything unhealthy or that would jeapordize my progress... and I walk 3 days per week and go to the gym 3 days per week.

Hard to say! I have a Protein shake and a Protein Bar each day. Then I typically have a Lean Cuisine or Atkins frozen dinner emphasizing veggies and Protein for dinner, 8-9oz. A greek yogurt now and then. I also eat some fruit, and some whole grains/fiber, like:

  • slice of protein enriched bread w/peanut butter, or an over-easy egg, or a little chicken salad
  • bowl of Cheerios or All-Bran or Post Shredded Wheat & Bran with organic fat-free milk
  • Fiber enriched low sugar oatmeal with wild blueberries

I am basically just trying to eat healthy and light, probably average 1000 calories or so. That's not very much, so I am losing weight about the same rate I did before surgery.

I must not be eating enough! I get really hungry especially at night so I snack in pretzel stuffed with Peanut Butter nuggets. Ugh! Why can't I do this????

I don't think it hurts to sin a little, but you do need to watch snack foods like those PB-stuffed pretzels. There is no Fiber to go with the carbs. Better to have a piece of fruit or a little low sugar oatmeal.

It's only 130 calories for 9 nuggets. My brain knows that what you're saying is how it should be but its just easier and quicker to eat the

Pretzel nuggets.

I know some of you may be in a different phase but my NUT has authorized me to eat anything...so yesterday I had several nuts. They were awesome! Roasted pecans at lunch and then almonds for "dinner" (since I skipped a real meal.) I had no problems and am super excited to be back to eating regularly. I'm having a hard time getting my workouts in though!

      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.
