How are you all doing?? We're now 4 weeks out! Where did time go? I had a 6 day "stall" and I'm still only at .5 less than I was during the stall. I'm feeling like I'm more able to eat normal foods, which is a concern because I want to be restricted. I didn't take any time off work, so maybe I'm not healing well? Idk. Discouraged and not feeling great a it the surgery. I mean, 20 pounds loss is cool and all, but I feel like I'm going to be back to eating crap since it's not restricting. I'm on soft foods until Thursday at my one month appointment.

How are all of you 6/27 buddies doing? How much lost? What are you eating?

I was doing ok so far until today having issues with liquids . I was off of work for 3 weeks. been back to work since last monday, i think it's tuff since my energy gets drained real fast , haven't been able to start my gym back cause of lack of energy. I had my first real non pureed chicken last night it was soo good was chicken kebab but was able to only get have a cube in, scale finally moved down 3 pounds this morning so I'm happy about that. Got my 1st post op appointment with MD on August 2nd. hopefully will be very close to hitting the Onederland :-) Still not able to drink Water (makes me want to puke) been drinking G2 gatorade ever since but now I feel that thing is too sugary when I drink it. Tonight's dinner is sliced Low fat turkey with laughing cow spread on it and rolled up.

Also replaced my daily binging habit (would wonder which takeout i'd have today either for lunch or dinner) now it's which mall should I go to and just buy stuff. not a lot of stuff but still.

Ive lost 39 lbs since the 27th! I've staled to about 2 lbs a day now... I am still happy Ive lost a total of 79 lbs since I started so I cannot complain...It is just falling off...I am not going to say it has been easy...I cheated twice once today...I ate half a slice of pizza and 3 french fries....I also cheated a couple days ago and had mashed potatoes...I am working out a lot so I think that is helping I have a personal trainer who comes to my house 3 times a week and I walk for 40 mins a day...around parks and my community....I do crave all old foods and drinks but I stick with only water...when I cheated the food just tasted bad to me....My whole taste buds have changed since surgery...I get dizzy when I get up all the time and I am always thirsty I hate that.

I can't believe it's been four months already! I had a stale around week 3 but I'm not back to losing at a good pace. I think so anyways :) I'm back to more normal food but not eating much of it. Still having a hard time getting my Protein in. But here are my stats!

Highest weight : 315

Surgery weight : 293

Current weight : 265

Hey girl! I've lost 23 and I had surgery of the 30th. I'm losing more inches than pounds; may be that's the case for you.

I'm losing inches too, but I'm not sure I trust the tape measure because I could be measuring wrong

Hi guys. I'm new to this forum and had my sleeve done on the 28th June so I figured this post was a good place to start!

I was in sooooo much pain for the first few weeks after the surgery but it's pretty much all gone now. I moved through the liquids, pureed etc stages a bit faster than I was told to and now I can eat just about anything. I'm trying to limit my meals to about 200 calories, and I've not felt full at all since the surgery. I don't want to push the boundaries but I kind of feel like my new pouch can hold more than I expected.

Are you all counting your calories? I'm doing between about 700-1000 each day and I've been in a stall for almost 2 weeks. It's so frustrating!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
