Another thing I wanted to add is that even though you are not losing pounds you will be losing inches. My clothes stlll managed to get looser even though the scale was stuck....I even went out and got a new scale cuz I was convinced it was busted! hahaha

I was basically stuck at the same weight from week 3- week 6. It picked right back up again It's normal to feel like your not doing something right. But your doing great!

I didn't take measurements either. Now that I am 4 weeks post op I wish I did. I didn't have the measuring tape and kept telling myself to get one, but never remembered. Oh well.

I know! It seems like everyone has a different diet! I did try retried beans with a little salsa, cheese and sour cream. I just couldn't stomach it. I don't know if the feeling I get when I eat I'd normal. It just feels funny and it makes me queasy. It is similar to that feeling I would get in my pre-op days when you would get so hungry you would feel nauseas. So I don't know? My NUT wants me to strictly stick to protein as my meal. Refrained beans were not on the list, but I did it anyways. As far as scrambled eggs, I can only do egg whites. And I really wish I liked tuna, because that would be easy!

I was sleeved 5/16 and I am down 18 pounds.

Thanks Terri, I am following the instructions of my NUT. My first week I was liquids, then 2nd week creamed soups. Yesterday was my 2 week mark so I guess I am actually into my 3rd week. So I don't think I am progressing to fast. I am by no means eating solid food. Everything needs to be ground and very moist.

Anyone else out there experience this? I did great with liquids, then creamed soups and yogurts, but this is day 2 of being on soft/ground foods and I feel nauseas when I eat. I have tried chicken salad, turkey meatballs with sauce, scrambled eggs. I don't know if it's the foods or what? I need to eat because if not I need to drink protein shakes, and I'm getting very tired of them! Any help, or advice would be great!

Hope you have a smooth revovery'

I hear you! I was sleeved 5/16 and I want to cry when everyone else is eating dinner and I am sipping broth. But we have to keep our eyes on the prize! All of this will pay off in the end! Hang in there my dear! I am definitely going to look into that book! Thanks : )

That's great!

Good luck! I was sleeved last Wednesday and I'm feeling great!

That is awesome!

I am home! They discharged me last night at 645pm so I only had a one night stay. I do have some discomfort, and I'm not sure if it's hunger or gas! My stomach is just making a constant grumbling noise. After I drink water I have to Stan up otherwise it is painful. Anyone else experience this?

Thanks! It felt like this day would never come.

Today's the big day! I have to be at the hospital at 11am and surgery will be at 2! Sooo excited!!

I hope to be saying the same thing!

I am so proud of myself for making the decision to better my life. I am trying not to let myself get too nervous because I have been waiting for this day for so long now. I have to be at the hospital for 11am and my surgery will be around 2pm. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers today! I will update you as soon as I can : )

Thinking of you today!! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Okay the nerves are starting to kick in! But it's more excitement, than nervousness.. I think! Haha May 15th is my day. I have to be there at 11 and my surgery is 2:00!

Good luck girl! You will be in my thoughts & prayers! I am Wednesday 2:00pm!

Congratulations! Save me a seat on that bench will ya?

I'm getting sleeved May 16th! One week left!

Slap me for saying this, but I almost feel left out because I dont have a liquid diet to do! I have however been on a special diet since January, but it's been okay. I just have a 2 day bowel prep (which honestly I am more scared of than surgery) and day before surgery is clear liquids. I am getting sleeved in one week!!! May 16th by Dr. Meireles in Boston MA. I have been so busy I feel like I haven't had a chance to be nervous. Good luck everyone!

Too funny Ashlee! I don't have a to do a liquid diet, but I am kinda trying to do one anyways..well a little bit. I have a requirement to lose 10% of my weight and I can't seem to keep that last 2 pounds off! I am drinking water and protein shakes for the next few days. I go in on Monday for a check in and I need to be at that weight Monday at 2:30!

Good luck today!
