Hi everyone, this is my 1st posting here; I'm new on this support group. I had my gastric sleeve surgery on 30Jun16. My highest weight was 258 and I weighed 247.7 the day of surgery. Within the first 14 days I had lost 16lbs which I was happy about. I didn't have any issues with the liquid diet and didn't feel any cravings. The problem I'm having is since I started my puree foods on the 15th day, my weight has stalled. I will go down a pound and then up a pound so I'm weighing exactly what I weighted at the 2 week mark; still not having any cravings. Has anyone else had this issue? If so what did you do? I'm following exactly what the nutritionist said I should do, so I'm so confused. Would like any help.

Unfortunately, stalls are the name of the game. I hit MANY during my journey. Some were a month or 2 long. I just kept at it though. As long as you are following the guidelines, the weight will come off. It does get frustrating. Hang in there.

Those first days and weeks seem so long, but remember you have had major changes your your body and system. Be patient with yourself and your body. Don't weigh every day. Stick to your plan. Take it slower if you have to. I did. Allow your body to do what it needs to do. It is healing. Best wishes on your path to a new you!

Sounds like your 3 week stall hit later than 3 weeks. I hit a stall at 3 weeks that lasted for 2.5. Just started losing again yesterday. Your body is in a state of shock and trying to deal with what to do. I shook mine up by limiting carbs and making sure to stay under 700 calories.

      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.
