Ok here is the deal I got sleeved Sept 17, and the first week went great. I went into the 2nd week and had lost a total of 15lbs. The end of the 2nd week stopped losing and have never started back since. My appetite has become bigger, I can take down about 700 to 800 cal a day. I eat Soups and crackers and snack size chips go down well. I know I shouldnt be eating these crackers and chips. One day I actually gained 2lbs, how is that happening if I only ate 800 cal in a day. I got them to come off by eating only 350 calories the next 2 days but no other weight loss. I would just like some input on what to eat at the beginning of week 4. Any input from others that went through this .......please. Question: Now that we have a smaller stomach how many calories must we be limited to, so that we lose weight?? I know before if I ate anywhere near 800 to 1000 calories i would lose like crazy. So now that we have smaller stomach does it take a lot less calories to lose weight??

This has been great advice. I know the crackers and chips are horrible, they just go down so easy (convienence needs to get out life) lol. I'am in the mushy stage still and I think I'm gonna go today and get me some soups and greek yogurt and eat more scrambled eggs. What greek yogurt has the most protein?? Everyones input has helped so much, thank you!

I was sleeved Sept 17 and the scale stopped at 15lbs lost about 3 days ago. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what was the result. Im so upset about this but at the same time coming to a sad realization that without food I dont have much of a life. I had food when I was bored, sad, happy, mad, or just for something to do. I didnt realize how much food consumed my life until now. Tonight I plan on writing things down I can do that dont include food and try and integrate these things into my new life. P.S. Thank goodness for this forum and all your support!

Today is day 6 and I'm just wondering if I'm doing everything right. I feel like I'm not eating enough and that I'm losing weight too fast. Maybe something I'm doing wrong. Right now I'm eating sugar free popsicles during the day (like 2 day) and drinking liquids like G2 or Crystal light. I cant drink that much at one time so I probably only finish about 1 bottle a day. I was told by a cousin of mine that I need protein. I tried drinking a low carb slim fast (20grams of protein) I got about 1/3 of it down and feel sick. So I just wanted to get advice on what others are eating on day 6 and what I should be eating by now. Today is day 6 and I have lost 11 lbs.

I had lost 8 of the 10 lbs that I needed to lose at my pre-op visit Sept 4,. I was told by surgery I need to lose 2 more to make it 10. Here I am a day away from surgery and I have ate everything in sight starting this past Wed. and didnt stop until lunch time. Its like I cant control it, I dont know if its that I'm nervous unconsiously or what but now I may not get the surgery. I talked to a friend today that has had the surgery. She said YOU HAVE TO STOP! When I show up Monday morning at the hospital and weigh me, I'm so scared they wont do the surgery. I know I have gained weight and I know they cant perform the surgery if I'm all swollen inside. Has anyone else ever went through this same problem only days away from surgery???? PLEASE HELP

Thanks everyone for your input. I found something that works perfect for me. Smoothie king has a protien shake called Slim trim and you have the option to make it skinny which makes it only 187 calories with 15 grams of protien. It goes down well :-)

I had reflux prior and had it worse after surgery. Good thing is it seems as if each day that goes by and my body gets used to my new stomach it gets better everday :-)

I was at Walgreens when I read this and grabbed the Gas X strips and man they do wonders! Thanks for that ! My dr. didnt prescribe anything for reflux but best believe I'm calling the office tomorrow. :-) Happy to be part of THE LOSERS CLUB ............just barely made it LOL

Thanks everyone for being so supportive! I did end up having my surgery on Monday the 17th. I made the weigh in. I just got released today from the hospital. I have alot of pressure in my chest from gas and indigestion. Even though I'm on having 15cc of G2 gatorade every 30 min. or so. I don't want to start adding more liquids until I think I can handle them. Does anybody have feedback on the indigestion??

Yes, I'm definitely doing liquids until Monday. Thanks for yall's feedback I really appreciate it. :-)

So excited for you!!!! Everything will be fine

Hi everyone, My surgery is scheduled for Sept. 17 and I'm so excited. Just want to talk with others about the excitement and the struggles. I have looked at sooooo many videos on youtube but I think a forum would be better fit for me. Everyone in my family is tired of hearing about it and dont really seem excited anymore because I have worn it out LOL. Looking forward to hearing everyones story or and telling mine :-)

Thanks everyone for such a WARM WELCOME!!!!

Girl I know your happy !!!!!!!
