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!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
