Mumoftwo I'm right there with you I'm so struggling to get my protein I am 8 days today and the scale has stopped I think this is normal! But I don't want to get discouraged I have read that this happens when can you start solids?

How do I follow you I am 1 week out and was feeling like I made the biggest mistake of my life I read your post and now have an entire new outlook I can do this you provided proof I can eat portions of my favorites! Thanks thanks thanks please keep posting your so encouraging! Question, have you eaten pasta?

I too was sleeved 1/14 and am down 9 lbs! I'm struggling with the protein and am feeling no energy I too was told 2 weeks straight all liquids and shakes no solids at all and the week 3 eggs cottage cheese etc. I'm just still trying to come to terms I did this and petrified of stories I've read and everything bad! Keep the positive posts coming they really help!

Thanks so much this is very helpful!

Hi There what things are you eating now? I'm 5 days post op and feeling depressed like I did the complete wrong thing I did I hope a month out like you I will be feeling better?! Tell me it gets better I can explain why but I want to pop a giant bowl of popcorn I'm glad he can tolerate it! I am almost 9 months out and trust me - it gets better. Day 4 was my day of buyers remorse - the day regret sets in and you wonder wtf you've done!!!! You want a bowl of popcorn cos that's your head talking not your stomach I really started to feel like myself from about 4 weeks out. Thanks for the encouragement buyers remorse in an understatement today lol I'm looking forward to 1 month out and then from there so glad to hear your enjoying it I pray that's me

Thanks for the helpful words I'm praying my recovery is as awesome as yours! Great job!!!

Awww mamato2 I feel for you. It is a big decision. I kept telling myself a couple ruff weeks were worth it for the rest of my life feeling good. Having this heavy life long monkey off my back was absolutely necessity for me. If you see my previous post above.... I have done SO GREAT! Way better then I ever expected or mentally prepared for. Not very sore at all, no nauseous feelings, able to hold down everything. I did not puree anything. Was taught to chew chew chew. I am 2 weeks 1 day post op and am out and about. Enjoy life feeling great! I am so happy the surgery is behind me & very excited for the future. That fact alone feels amazing. We are all different. A positive mind set is helpful going into this. You will still enjoy the things you do now, just in a new healthier way & smaller proportions. We are just a few weeks apart in this journey. Keep in touch. Support and not feeling alone in all of this helps so very much! Hang in there;o) Thanks so much I'm so excited to watch updates and the encouragement has helped my Dr says he thinks my recovery should be great doing pre op excercising and start weight of 225 he says helps let's hope so! I'm so glad your recovery was amazing and hope my journey is as successful! Keep me updated!! Great job!

I too am surgery date 1/14 let's keep each other posted! However Having 2nd thoughts Not telling anyone and fear of surgery itself the head hunger and recovery are enough to keep me In tears daily I'm just looking at these to keep me from canceling please keep the positive thoughts coming I know it best!
