    Did my dreaded stall come early?!! :-(

    Thanks for the encouragement Penpen. Your story most certainly gives me hope. 68 lbs in 3 months is ooutstanding. Congratulations and keep up the good work. I hope I will be able to say I have lost nearly that much in 3 months.

    Thanks for the words of wisdom, Ouro! Shalon, I am rooting for you!! Just keep following the program and the scale will move eventually! Keep me posted and I am here if u need someone to talk to.

    Protein Counting?

    myfitnesspal.com is a very good site. It is popular. I've been using it for a little over a month. You can count your calories including protein, carbs, calories burned, etc.
  5. 3 wks out: After a one week stall, the scale has finally moved! I lost 3 lbs!! I feel like I am loosing slower than some other who had the VSG surgery but it's okay. At least the scale is moving in the right direction again.

    @ Shalon - I am sure your body will adapt over time. When do you go see the doctor? @ Kala - You are doing great. I am happy to hear that your stall has eneded. Good job. I weghted myself this morning and I am down 3 lbs. That is the first time the scale moved in one week. I am pleased!!

    Shalon...my VSG sibling! I am sorry to hear you are stuggling with your decision. Although, you may feel a little discouraged, do not let it get the best of you. I am sure that, with time and the proper eating, we will start loosing again. I really think my body is rebelling. I am eating the proper amount of foods. I am sure you are too. Our bodies are just in shock. I knew this may happen but it still feels a little disheartening. Don't give up! Just keep doing the right thing and the scale will eventually move. I don't plan on giving up. From what I have read on here, may people experience this, and some feel regretful, for a number of reasons, in the beginning. Then within a few months out, they are super happy with their decision and wouldn't change it for the world. I am hoping the same thing happens with me. Suez, thanks for the positive words and good luck. When did you have your surgery? LindaS, thanks for all the good tips. I def notice a difference in my clothes. I am fiting things I couldnt fit at all, a month ago. I noticed a change in pics too. I am proud of all of this. I just want to see this on the scale too. I haven't lost any inches this week tho. I plan to take a pic in the same clothes, on my one month surgery date. On thing I am sure I need to work on is my Fluid intake. I only drink five cups a day. I also need to get more Protein in.
  8. This Monday will make 3 wks since my surgery. This past wk, the scale hasn't moved at all!!! I am worried. I went to my nutritionist this week and I only lost 2lbs in 9 days and about 10lbs since surgery. I lost about 12lbs on my own before surgery. In total, I'm down 22 lbs which is great but I expected to loose more after surgery, naturally!! I dont know what to do. Im getting under 800 calories in, about 50g of Protein, walking, and drink around 5 cups of Water a day. Im tryin my best to follow the rules. I'm not indulging in any bad foods, yet the scale isn't moving! The nutritionist told me not to worry and that I am doing well. Did my dreaded stall come early??? :-( Btw, the good news is, I lost a couple inches, my face is smaller, some of my old clothes fit again and some ppl have noticed the weight loss! Maybe I am too focused on the scale but I can't help it :-/

    I hope everyone had a successful surgery. I am almost 3 wks out.
  10. Great job, Jai!! Good luck, Mocha. Hope all is going well.
  11. The two days after surgery are rough. I dealt with nausea and pain. I threw up twice the day after. Walking around after a few minutes made me fell sick. Yet, every day gets better. I had the surgery on a Monday and went home on Wed. My recovery is actually going well now. I was off of the pain meds by Friday. I am still on a clear liquid diet :-( I get in a minimum of 40 oz. or liquid in a day. I take a multi-vitamin (centrum chewable), Biotin, and allergy meds, for now. I have no trouble swollowing the pills. I am still working on getting my Liquid Protein in. I am not a big fan of the shakes. I will be starting the puree phase next week. I rarely feel hungry but I miss chewing food!! Surprisingly, I don't feel fatigued. I started work yesterday and I feel good. Right now, my pain is rare and minimal. I've lost 14 lbs since the day of surgery. Advise: Take one day at a time. Each day gets better. Follow your doctor's diet to a T. Weight yourself every morning. Sip, sip, and sip some more. Walk, walk and walk some more.
  12. Good luck Mocha & Mesa! I am now 10 days post-op and I am feeling pretty good. Back to work already.

    8 days out and down

    I totally understand!!! I am in the same boat so I don't have any tips. I went to see my doctor today and expected to progress to pureed food. That was not the case. It's going to be another week of Clear liquids. At least u get to have things other than clears. :-| We will get through it. 6 days to go!
  14. Hey! I'm doing well. I'm 8 days post op and I'm feeling pretty good. I have a little pain here and there but it's manageable. How are u?
