Phillygirl, I feel your pain. I was sleeved July 13th and I have the same anxieties that you do. I hope we are doing this right. Maybe the veterans will have some insight.

I am so frustrated. I am also smack dab in the middle of a stall. I have not lost weight since week two and this is almost the end of week four. Actually, I gained three pounds. I know that I am retaining Water because my output isn't nearly as much as what I take in but I am doing everything else. I am getting in my Protein. Yesterday I had 74 grams. I am going to the gym for at least a 30 min workout and I am NOT cheating.Not much to cheat with anyway, I am on purees. What gives? I just can't go back to all liquids. I think I will cry if I have to do that.

For me, it was about two weeks until I felt pretty normal. I was still taking a daily nap at about 2pm until then. I don't know if you will be able to work a full day with just one week under your belt. I know I would not have been able to do it.

I am having the same problem. I was sleeved 7/13 and the scale has not moved since last week. Well, actually it has moved up and down a couple of pounds. I know I am not getting in all of my protein but I am trying my darnedest. (Is that how one would spell that?) Anyway, I am managing to get in at least 40 because I can almost finish an Isopure drink and I can eat about two four ounce greek yogurts throughout the day. The problem is that the Isopure makes me so thirsty that I also sip a lot of water and it is just sooooo much sipping.

I had surgery on July 13th. So far, so good. But boy do I miss food. it has been four weeks of liquid so far.

Thanks, I will be careful with the Sobe waters. I am being pretty good about reading labels so far but I won't get too comfortable. I am planning on making my own Soups next week. I have a cookbook that is just soups and casseroles. I hope to try some recipes soon.

Good news! Sobe Life water has zero calories and tastes awesome. I am drinking the fuji apple pear flavor and it rocks! I am so excited. Between this and the Isopure I will stay hydrated and get protein.

I was sleeved on the 13th and I was on Clear Liquids for a week. Now I am on full liquids for two weeks. Next, is pureed foods for four weeks. Then, soft solids for four weeks and finally, solids. I won't eat solids until the end of September, I think. I don't know how I am going to make it because I am struggling with full liquids.

Maybe the opposite will happen for you. On my pre-op diet I had no troubles and now I can't stand any of it. Here's hoping. I have tried the Isopure and while it is tolerable flavorwise, it gives me a dreadful case of cotton mouth. I can't win for losin'! Thanks for the suggestion, though, I am drinking it as much as possible.

Wow! Thank you everyone for your speedy replies. I am going to the Vitamin Shoppe tomorrow. I have to go to Barnes and Noble anyway and it is right next door.

Hi everyone, I am new here. I was just sleeved on July 13th and I am on full liquids. The problem is I hate the way everything tastes and the sugar free stuff is the worst. Not only is the taste of the artificial sweetener so heightened that it is all I taste, but it also makes me run to the bathroom. Right now the only thing I like is a cream of chicken and herbs Soup but I know that is not enough Protein. Any suggestions? And will this change in the near future?
