Mine was Saturday before my monday surgery, Clear liquids After surgery on monday July 16, i did not hv anything to eat or drink, not even ice chips until Wed. Abt 5

Thats awesome! Congrats!

I will be 4wks Monday & as of few nights ago lost 13.7. I ws thking same thing & pretty bummed abt it. However i hv lost 13.5 inches. So im glad i measured myself.

I meaured before surgery & 3wks later. Glad i did, scale wasnt moving much but i lost 13.5 inches. I meaured ea thigh (in the middle), ea arm, all the way around under my arms, over breast, & waist. Some say to weigh weekly, some every two weeks....so your preference. If you there is an app calld: myfitness pal tht is awesome for keeping track of your weight, calories, protein, carbs & so forth. Really has helped me a lot.

Thats awesome! Thx so much for sharing. What a mighty difference. You look great. Thats so encouraging!

I use myfitness pal & it helps a bunch!

It is frustrating! But im not giving up! We can do this!

I will be 4 week on Monday & hv only lost 13.7 lbs. I knw how you feel. I dont understand either. I only intake between 400-600 calories & tht includes my protein drink. I dont consume much liquids. Thts the one thing thts tough on me. I can do the orotein drink if i make it into a smoothie & can drink water if its ice cold. Im sorry your frustrated.

Has anyone had stalls like this?

Lololololol yes they do need a medal

I try to stay away frm sugar also but something hv a little in it. So wasnt sure how much is too much.

I put neosporom on mine. 1 looked it had puss in it though. I did tht for over week n a half.

Uhh Im stuck on the scale. Im 3weeks post, will be 4 weeks on Monday. Its only showing 13.5 lb loss & over 13 inches. Thats terrible! Im only getting 400-600 calories a day. My doctor wont let me walk or exercise until after 4 weeks. Any ideas? Has anyone else been like this?

How many carbs are you doing in a day? Sugar content? Curious as wht is a good count.

Yes I thought so too! So glad i got some.

Thers an app called My fitness that i love. It keeps up w calories, protein, sodioum, cabs, ect. Very easy to use. Its helped me a lot to make sure im getting my protein & not too much carbs.

I dont smoke & certainly am not going to judge. Honestly, how cld anyone on here? We've all had an eating prob or we wouldnt hv had the surgery. Your ID, says a lot & very encouraging. I hope you dont mind me suggesting something to you. You may think its silly but writting encouraging notes (the opposite of what u r feeling & posting them thru your house & reading them all thru the day can help boost ya. Just a thought. Hope you get to feeling better.

Wow tht does seem extreme. I was two weeks liquid which included yogurt, 3rd wk soft & from there wht i can tolerate

Thanks to this forum, I found laughing cow cheese! I never would hv thought to get that. Its great!

Thts horrible if it makes you sick. I take 2 chewable flinstone (after lunch) 1 cap of 1000mg of wellness liquid Calcium +d (at night), liquid b12 (in the morning). The calcium taste very good too. Have you tried any of these?

Maybe a family member can help w the shopping? My husband has helped me out a lot. He eats before he gets home most of the time & even tries not to eat in front of me. I told him im fine now. Im 3wks post op but him doing tht helped a lot.

I also make smoothies. You can make them from plain greek yogurt (has protien), add strawbrry protein drink, 5 frozen straberrys, ice- put it all in a blender. I made this today & was able to drink it fine. I ws hving issues drinking, felt tired, & yes even taking a shower wore me out. At least making this drink i can drink it.

Have you tried sugar free jello & popscles?

Thats a wonderful idea...buying it at a Chineese restraunt. Thank you so much everyone.

Thanks a bunch. Its very encouraging hearing how much weight others are losing.
