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!!
