Thank you, Kathy! I'm sorry to hear that you had recently gone through the same thing, it's very frustrating! I know it will drop eventually but it's so hard when you work so hard to get to a certain point and nothing is happening. I hope you do not have any more problems with stalls any time soon or even at all because they are extremely frustrating. Thank you again for the support!

Thank you so much for all the encouragement!! I know I've lost and it's a Great feeling! Thank you for all the suggestions, I greatly appreciate your feedback! ????

I has my sleeve on Aug.7th, and lost 17lbs so far, but I've been at a stall for two weeks now and I don't know what to do about it. I'm getting in my protein and my water. I'm not doing strenuous exercise but I am going to the gym and working out for 45 minutes or more each day. I've been keeping my calories between 800-900 a day and very low carbs. Has anyone else experienced this kind of stall? Does anyone have suggestions? I'm kind of getting upset that yes, I've lost weight but now I've come to a halt. It's extremely aggravating since we've gone through so much to do this surgery and then you just stop seeing results... ???? Any suggestions I would greatly appreciate!

Thank you! I am gonna check it out!

Hey guys! Do any of you know of a protein powder that does not have a flavor, that I could put in food or drinks in order to meet my protein requirements each day. I am getting sick of my protein shakes already and want to be able to find a tasteless powder or liquid that could replace it while I drink my ice tea or water throughout the day or even put it on my food. Please help if you have any ideas! I would greatly appreciate it!!! Thanks!

Hi guys! I wanted to get a general idea of what everyone is at calorie wise for the mushy/purée stage. Right now I'm only really eating tuna and eggs, so if you have any ideas to help bring variety I would greatly appreciate that too!

Okay, I have a question... I am 9 days post op and ever since day 3, I've literally been starving all day long! I'll drink my protein, think I'm full and five minutes later I'm hungry again. I cannot eat mushy food until Monday, but i've been throwing in yogurt and sugar free pudding sometimes to see if it helps. Is anyone else feeling this way? All I've heard thus far is how everyone cannot even think of eating. ;( It makes me worry. I am constantly drinking my protein (isopure) and drinking water all day! ;-( I am even waking up in the middle of the night because I am so hungry. ;( I've never been someone who gets up at night to eat... I just thought I would never have the appetite. Please if anyone has suggestions, I would love to hear them!

Good job! Keep up the great work!

Congrats!! How exciting! I cannot wait until I hit the onederland! ???? congrats again, that's a huge accomplishment!

Congrats! That's awesome!

I too had problems driving yesterday. I decided it had been 7 days and I NEEDED to get out of the house, so I took a 5 minute drive and it was pretty painful. You don't realize how much of your abdominal muscles that you use to actually drive. I would wait if you could because even being a passenger is no fun, with all the bumps. ;(

I've honestly heard of that. :-( You should ask your doc, they will tell you if it's enough protein in it or if you need to change it.

@crowell823- Thank you for your response! I finally was able to somewhat sleep on my side. I had been sleeping in our recliners as well. Lol. It was comfy but not enough to stay a sleep for long periods of time. I finally got a great night of rest! So, it's already getting better and better! ???? May I ask if you have any other advice since you are a little further than me? Are you able to actually eat food now and keep it down?

@maryjane61- I had a headache all the way up until yesterday. It was horrible! The pain meds were for sure giving it to me. :-( My hubby bought me a body pillow yesterday and I was finally able to sleep on my side somewhat. Having the pressure directly on my tummy has been helping a lot!

This is such a great topic! I am also at the very beginning and I've already noticed how I am craving saltiness. All the protein shakes and liquids we can have all seem so sweet. I had veggie broth yesterday and it tasted like the best thing in the world! We will get through it, it's just tough at the beginning because our bodies are craving the carbs and wanting all the bad stuff for us! The timer thing is such a great idea! I was having the same problem with not knowing how often to sip.
