I too have hit a wall. I had lost 23 lbs at my two week check and was cleared for soft foods last Thursday have lost nothing else, even gone up almost a pound. I sent my nurse an email today as it is putting me into a bit of a panic. Looking forward to a response.

I had my surgery also on the 13th, but I have not had any issues at all from the start, my surgery went very well, no pain, no gas pains. I have been having trouble as far as trying non pureed foods. I really need some feedback, has anyone else done this?

I am on puréed foods until the 10th so I have no tried them. I have been doing well with puréed but still adding Protein powder to get meet my Protein goals.

My recovery was simple also. I did have some pain but nothing to take any meds for, just some discomfort.

December 13th sleevers!!

Lets all update and see how we are doing. I am trying to get a sense of what is normal, average, ect. I am 3 weeks post op today and down 16 lbs. I thought I would be down more, but seem to have stalled at day 13, losing only 1 lb in the past 8 days. Is this normal? Is this possible? My calories are between 600-800 per day. No issues with the Protein or liquids. Soft food stage for me, fish, yogurt and Soup. I know its crazy, but I was not anticipating a stall for at least a month or two. My surgeon said the first 6 months is where the weight will fall off, after that its up to me. Hoping to hit a milestone in January.

Hey I had surgery 12/14 and hit a stall too. Have u began losing weight again?

I still haven't gotten over the stall! Surgery was the 13th and once I started soft foods I've hit a stall. Nurse and dietician say don't worry about it but its stressful. Another dietician says the stress will cause body to hold the weight so again don't stress. It's hard!!! What does everyone's food log look like? What are you eating?

I'm on an antibiotic that's tearing my gut up so I'm at a stall. My stomach is NOT liking the antibiotics (it's a liquid).

Hi everyone. From what I'm reading, the stall is normal. I was down 21 lbs on 01/02/17, but on 01/09/17, I went down only a pound. I'm still on puréed foods until tomorrow. The Protein shakes that I liked in the beginning are now making me nauseous. And so is the Water, but I still drink it with crystal light. My doctor and dietician say the artificial sweetener in it is ok, but I'm wondering if they're wrong. I've never heard good things about it. Does anyone have any good soft food ideas? I, too, use the GENEPRO unflavored Protein. Mix it into puréed foods.

Just wondering, has anyone felt any pain in different parts of their body after losing the weight? Woke up on Sunday with my back and thighs hurting so bad that I don't think I sleep more than three hours total each night. I thought it might be Sciatica, but the pain does travel down the legs. Just stay mostly around the hips, lower back and upper thighs.

6 weeks after surgery. I started low BMI but i still losing weight. My issue is actually still progressing to soft food and eating proper Protein rather than shakes which i tolerate very well

I can tolerate yogurt plain and with natural fruit. and tiny amount of cheese.(cracker size).

tried lentil Soup - there are days I can tolerate more of it and days I just can't.

I am now 163 pounds down from 190 Surgery day.

Any ideas about varieties of food (protein) that you can tolerate acknowledging of course that every individual is different.

Hi fellow 12/13 sleevers. How is everyone doing?




I am doing well. Progressing and steadily losing. Staying on track with my diet and working out. Focusing mainly on cardio but adding in weights. I am able to get 70 Protein and at least 70 ounces of Water. I am halfway to my goal weight and I am hoping to make my goal before the end of summer.
How about everyone else?

      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.
