The last 4 weeks have flown bye for me! I had my sleeve on February 15th and things went very well. I had a few days of pain, and it took the whole week to feel confident with my liquid diet. At three weeks I was able to move onto soft food and so far I have tolerated everything I have ate. The best part is I have lost a total of 30 pounds in 4 weeks! I feel amazing, and am already thankful for this surgery. I hope to continue on my journey and become the healthiest version of myself. I'm thankful for everyone's posts and information who prepared me for this new life journey, it really is quite the ride. IMG_2176.JPG

It's amazing isn't it? I keep thinking it's going to stop, but everyday there's a little more and a little more. So happy to finally be going the right direction.

What are you eating. I am in a stall

Being that I have been on a full liquid diet for the first 3 weeks, I drink 2-3 protine shakes a day- tons of Water 1/4 cup broth or Soup. 4 Multivitamins a day. Im not hungry at all so this satisfies me. Todays day 1 on soft diet so I plan on having 2 protien drinks- 1/4 C lowfat cottage cheese-2-3 bottles of Water and something new for dinner. 1/4 cup of whatevers approved to eat. Steamed cauliflour or broccoli is sounding pretty good.

I am 3 weeks out and following all of the "rules" to the letter yet I am not losing weight. I am discourage to say the least.

I understand that there are some people who do not lose weight after surgery, that they are the "failures". I am beginning to think that I am one of them and wonder if there are any others out there. I would be happy to become a support person to anyone in that situation. We have to take our losses and move on.

Congrats to you on your weight loss!

Nearly everyone stalls around week 3. I have basically been the same weight for 7 days. I'm 23 days out. It's a bummer, but knowing it's normal makes it a little easier to bear.

I usually start my day with a Premier Protein shake or one egg with low fat cheese. For lunch I have either chicken or fish with a very small amount of veggies. dinner is usually close to the same... for Snacks I have low fat baby bell cheese or a slice or two of lean lunch meat. I also drink a lot of Water, diet Snapple, diet green tea.... it's pretty basic what I am eating and I haven't changed it up much, but so far it's working for me. What kind of things do you eat in a day?

      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.
