Congratulations!!! Stay hidrated, and take vitamin C, it helps heal faster!!!

How funny, people tell me they can see it in my face too!!! LOL

Hi guys!!! Not that I'm happy to hear about your slow loosing news, but I am happy to hear that what I'm going through its normal! I had my surgery on Feb-25th and Only have lost 15 pounds!!! I am eating super healthy, no sugar and walking. Hopefully when my dr gives me the ok to exercice, I'll be able to loose a little faster! We should start our own little "slow Loosers" Group. Its nice to hear that other sleevers are having similar result to mine.

For me its been 6weeks, and only 12 I guess 17 if you count the 5 I lost pre-op.

I make my shakes with soy milk, skim milk is to hard for me to digest! Give it a try, also rice milk and almond milk are other good options.

I'm only on my 5th week, but I read somewhere that sometimes you get weird symptoms at the beginning of the 7th week. I'm not sure how true this is but hopefully is nothing serious! Have you been exercicing extra or did you do any extra physical activity???

Hang in there!!! Ur sleeve will be like ending an old life and will mark the beginning of a new one!!! Once u get it you'll have a better outlook on life!!!

Awesome! i'm a little jealous I have to say

Not to try to scare you but you should seek to se a doctor today! Any fever, chills or anything out of the ordinary aside from the "raisins"?

The same thing happened to me, however now that I'm entering my 5th week it is getting better! I do get hungry but also eat a little bit and I'm satisfied soon. I am now eating 3 times a day like I'm supposed to and I'm not starving, It'll get better hang in there!!!

Those were included in my mushies stage wich started for me at week 3.

I've had the flu b4 and its way worse than the surgery!!!

I was told not to try them or popcorn until after 10 or 12 months, can't remember why though!

Yes its normal! As far as the protein you can add it right away as long as it is clear, the first week however I don't think is detrimental to drink your protein. You're probably having enough trouble as it is with the clear liquids. Hang in there, it gets better!!!

I agree with you! For me it was more like my body was asking me what it was ready for! One day I really really wanted yogurth and I was one day away from yogurt time, so I tried it and it was fine! Same with chicken, I just felt like I had to eat chicken and I did and I was fine, again the day before i was supposed to start my soft foods. What if you think drinkable yogurt???
