In a stall for this entire week. hoping to break it next week.
How is everyone else doing?

Why is it so important to chew a lot?
I find my self not chewing that much, and the food goes down with no problem. So wondering why the "rules" say to chew a lot.

Looks like a lot of us are in a stall, I guess its normal.

It does sound like part of this may be head hunger - what do you think?
You may not feel the reflux but i have heard that people don't experience it as reflux but as a feeling of hunger. I take Prevacid and it works for me, but there are many, many options - this may be worth a try as it is a very common post-op issue. I don't know if you would see the results after just one dose or if it would take a few days to show if it helped. Perhaps speak to your doc about this issue, too. He/She would likely have an opinion and might even prescribe an acid reducer.
Yes. Water, Water, water. I never feel thirsty... But I feel very very hungry if I don't stay on top of my fluids. At 5 months out I get 9-10 glasses per day.
I aim for 600-800 calories daily, but it took me a couple months to get there. And your Protein sounds low compared to what I've heard you should aim for... turns out every doc is different though so it may be that you are in the recommended range for your doc.
Good luck!

You can try the Pepcid it should work and cost less get the store brand it is cheaper and is the same as name brand

I have no idea what's going on but I'm less than a week out and going through the same thing. It's torture and I can only hope it gets better.

I found that i can only eat about 1-2 oz of solid Protein and about 1/4 cup veggies at a time.Then i am not hungry for about 4 hrs or more. If i make a Protein Shake I get hungry in about 1/2 hr. Anything that I eat that have carbs (like crackers) I want more of it. I think that is a slider food because a can eat 2-3 handfuls of cheez it. I decided not to buy that stuff anymore because I can chew it well and eat a lot of it. I have not hit a stall yet but my weight loss is very slow. I have only lost 10 since surgery.

I gain weight too 2lbs, very frustrating. I did loose it very slowly, but now I have stopped loosing. I sure hope is just head hunger.. I am gonna try up the Water intake like the previous post just told me though. Hope that will help..
I am MFP look me up.. "Jentheyo". feel free to add me.

I was sleeved July 12. Yesterday was 11 weeks and i weighed in at 196. 45 down from surgery. 67 down from highest weight in February.

Thank you

Laying in bed, can't sleep. Excited about tomorrow.
Survived Clear Liquids diet today, that was rough. hoping that I wont be in too much pain after. And hoping that I wake up from the surgery. Knock on wood.

H, Jen, just wanted to say that I feel the same way about breads, which is probably why I am the way I am! I am not going to worry about buying anything until I need it. Don't want to buy stuff now, and then not need it/like it. I figure later on I should be ok at work with Protein drinks, egg whites and yogurts and the like. We'll see.
Also, which hospital are you having surgery at? Valley? I am also in NJ, and my group is also out of Valley.

Oh wow I feel you. I'm 3 months out and Already nervous about what I will eat. I don't like lettuce Tomato pepper onion mayo mustarad any Salad Dressing and many other things. I usually live on meat and junk food like pizza fries burgers hot dogs. No wonder I'm obese!! When I've done diets in the past I've basically lived on grilled chicken and broccoli. I always gain it back probably because way to restrictive. I am super nervous.

When you get to solids, eat meat, cheese, Beans, nuts, fruit and eggs. Right after surgery I did 2 weeks clear liquid, 2 weeks full liquid and 2 weeks mushy/pureed. I don't know what diet you nutritionist recommended, but for full liquids there were Protein Shakes and yogurt mostly. You may as well try out different yogurts. Your tastes will have to undergo a bit of a change.

So at work there is a "click" of 4 women that talk **** about me behind my back. They refer to my as "fatty" when they talk about me. "I have a spy as one of the girl, LOL this is how I know".
I can't freaking wait to get this surgery so I can loose all this weight and be like Who is "fatty" now biatches!!!!
sooooo.... sick of them!

Glad to hear that everyone is doing great, I just had my EKG today and blood work. Can't wait for Saturday, surgery day. Lost another 2 lbs (preop)

Hi, just wondering how everyone is doing?
I am getting sleeved next weekend the 22nd, felling nervous and anxious. Good news I have lots about 10lbs (pre-op).
