Traci J. Gastric Sleeve Patients January 23, 201313 yr Author stats If your Dr. and/or Nut tells you it is. Follow their advise, just because others can eat more at this point than you doesn't mean they have the same issues you may have. Your starting weight, medical conditions, etc..all play a role. Just hang in there, once you're past the liquid phase it'll be a distant memory. It's all part of the process to the new, improved you. Good luck!
MissTiffany203 LAP-BAND Patients January 23, 201313 yr Author stats I just hope time starts going by faster lol thanks
cygnusatratus Gastric Sleeve Patients January 23, 201313 yr Author stats You might lose more too as a side bonus. I stalled as soon as I got off liquids.
MissTiffany203 LAP-BAND Patients January 23, 201313 yr Author stats Yeah I know.. I'm just so hungry lol
carstanger Gastric Sleeve Patients January 23, 201313 yr Author stats I had 2 weeks liquids before and 3 weeks afterwards but you only have to do that 1 time!!! Then soft proteins. I'm at 10 weeks, and the liquids are getting to me!!! I get busy and don't think about drinking water, etc. Anyway, I'm trying. Have lost 38 pounds as of last week, but haven't been near a scale this week so will see when I find one. You can do this!!
MissTiffany203 LAP-BAND Patients January 23, 201313 yr Author stats Thanks I'm trying to hang in there... The liquids are just so annoying.. It's been one week post op for me... I'm hoping this week goes by fast!!! Lol
circa Gastric Sleeve Patients January 23, 201313 yr Author stats first things first - THROW THE SCALE AWAY! I weigh myself about once a month. I don't care what the scale says, as long as its not a bigger number than it was the previous month. If you want to break a stall, I found the easiest way is to start over. Do an expedited post-op. Go back to liquids, purees, mushies, protein. Lose the carbs, up the calories and kick up the exercise!
MissTiffany203 LAP-BAND Patients January 23, 201313 yr Author stats Yeah I totally agree ... I'm going to stop weighing myself as much lol & yessss! I'm still recovering but after I get the okay from my doctor I'm signing up for the gym my spring semester
