Drinking
I am able to sip as well but I had a sleeve on may 15th and am able to eat what I want! Granted now my tummy has issues with some stuff. I can't handle a lot of dairy. Sour cream or milk. But so far beef, tacos, salad, soup, and eggs are great! I tried one piece of a mint aero and bad girl! I got upset tummy and bowel issues:( but now I know. Spaghetti is good with mushroom sause as tomato sause no longer agrees with me, and v8 juice now is a no no.

But I lost 4kg when I went to gym and 2 week liquid diet before surgery, so since surgery I've only lost 3kg. However it's weightless either way, just thought I could loose more, so it's still good as long as it's weightless not gain, I haven't lost anything this week. But I'm also going to go back to liquids

Thanks guys, yeah it might be due to medication however it really gets depressing. I know it's selfish to say only 7 pounds. My husband lost more then me, and he doesn't have the sleeve.

Need Ideas How To Lose Weight!
O it's been 2 weeks since surgery! And I've only lost 7 pounds! I am not able to eat eggs and mashed potatoes. I am walking but no extra exercises! So everyone else who had their surgery the same day has lost much more, around 19-31! I had a lot to loose. I was 127kg before surgery and now I am 120kg and I should only weight in at 70kg. I am 5"9 I am on medication due to an infection but other then that I am good! I eat eggs in the morning and soup or potatoes at night. I eat yogurt for a snack. HELP

It's Been A Month....
So I feel for you!!! My surgery was may 15th. I've had infections. And now on clindamycin 3times a day. Hard to do! They are rough on stomach and need to eat with them so you don't get I'll. Everytime I take then I get heartburn and hickups. And they are so bad I get sick! And I've only lost 7 kg since may 5th!! That's 15 pounds. I thought it would be different!

Getting Hickups

Some of the juices I do add extra water, however I am a fan of water or powerade sports drink.

Craving Food
Yes I cut out some sugars and most all bread. I never was a big bread eater and when I had some it was rye bread. However I am now craving it yet I never was a fan of bread. And I don't care if I eat sugary stuff. I eat a popsicle or some yogurt and I'm fine. But it seems like now after 10 days from surgery I am craving food more then I did before surgery

Eggs
So I had surgery may 15th and it went well, my stitches came out early so healing us slow and I had to go on clindamycin but that's ok. While on the medication you need to eat, so I tried eggs! And man oh man they are great! Make me feel good, and give me energy, and I love it! So eggs and soft foods now:) however I am still not losing weight. Any ideas? I walk every day and do house work. However since may 15th I've only lost 4kg so that's 8.8 pounds. I need to do something to help it go faster! Any ideas?
