I'm glad y'all posted this because I have been freezing at work everyday. Now I know why.

I think I will weigh every 2 weeks and just deal with it I guess. I know I'll lose the weight but I guess like everyone else I want to lose it now. Ya know?

I know I'm losing inches because my bra is too big now and also my pants are loose. So that's a good thing.

I haven't weighed myself for 2 weeks. Kindof scared to. I don't want to be disappointed if I haven't lost that much. 2 weeks ago I was in a stall.

Sleeved on 9/20. Starting weight 244. down to 230. Stalled for a week. Haven't weighed myself since satuday. Hopefully i will pick up the pace. I'm right there with everyone else.

Yes I get the rumbles after i eat too.

I'm having the same issue! Getting kind of worried. But my friend that had the sleeve said she started losing a good amount 2 months after surgery. I guess everyone loses differently.

Thanks y'all.

Today I can start eating oatmeal, cream of wheat and sweet potato and I am scared to death to eat.

Today I got the email from BCBS of what was billed from my sleeve surgery three weeks ago. Granted my surgery was at Forest Park in Dallas and to be honest that hospital is more like a 5 star hotel than a hospital and I have never had such great care or a beautiful room (suite) here was the amount if anyone is interested! Billed Amount 71' date='335.05

Amount You May Owe: 97.70

My insurance rocks!! Thought I would never say that!!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

I Have BCBS and I had an exclusion on my policy for weight loss surgery. They wouldn't pay for mine.

I

I got sleeved on 9/18' date=' I started stage two on 9/19, a typical day for me includes the following.

[*']Breakfast - Egg whites or 100 calorie pack of cottage cheese and a Protein shake about half hour-hour later

[*]lunch - tuna salad or chicken salad with fat free mayo and a Protein Shake about half hour-hour later

[*]dinner - Turkey burger or turkey meatballs about 3 of them or turkey meatloaf,and a Protein shake about half hour-hour later

Portion sizes should be 3-4 ounces or the size of your palm.

i also try and drink addtl Fluid throughout the day.

This is all guidlines by my nutrtionist, and i am down about 30 pounds so far.

Awesome! I got sleeved on 9/20 and still on full liquids.

Ok I drank a half of a Protein Shake. Started toa feel worn down tonight.

I dont think your eating too much. As long as ur following the guidelines and keeping Protein first' date=' and drink ur luiquids. it sounds ur doing just fine.[/quote']

Ok good. Thx

I am 2.5 weeks out from my surgery and I often think that I too eat too much' date=' for example, today I had a 4 to 6 oz protien shake for breakfast some chicken broth w saltine crakers for lunch. dinner was chicken and stars Soup, and I also had about 5 pieces of sandwich meat with cheese and I have had Water to drink today with a 8oz glass of juice. I know I am a little further out than you but I still get a little concerned.[/quote']

Are u still losing weight?

What shake are you using????

Isolate

Yes I have lost 13 pounds so far.

Me too. 13 pounds when I went to the doc last week. Lost a couple more pounds I think. Not going to doc until nov 1 so won't know how much more I have really lost. I hate going by my scale.

Not a worry there - you aren't going to hurt your sleeve (your body will tell you if you are doing too much.) There is a wide variation in how different people handle liquids and mushes which generally are not very restricted by the sleeve. I was able to drink remarkable amounts (sip' date=' sip, sip) of broths and juices in the hospital while my wife at the early stage of her WLS could barely get in her nominal stomach capacity of liquids - the doc and program RN were not at all worried as these are just normal variations. I was getting in enough Protein by my token shake per day, yogurt, Protein loaded puddings and Jello, and soft protein dishes that the doc was adding veg to the diet by day 10.[/quote']

Ok. That makes me feel better. Thank you.

I'm on full liquids which includes all u listed but I'm worried I'm getting to much in. I go tuesday for my 2wk post op so I will see then I guess. I see others that can't so Im wondering why and how I can.

If you are still losing weight I wouldn't worry about it. Are you still losing? I got on the scale tonight and I only lost like 2 pounds since last week, I think. My scale and the doctors scale is different. I van get in all my liquids like u too.

Tonight I'm going to try no Protein Shake. I will still get in 50g of Protein with one shake. Just will leave the calories

How much cream of broccoli Soup?

It's strained so it's just liquid but around 1-2 oz

I am a week out and can drink my required Water and Protein . I am also worried that I am getting to much in. I made a post but got no info. I'm worried about my sleeve

Doc told me that liquids cannot stretch your sleeve. Don't worry about that.

I drink a Protein Shake in the morning. Half a yogurt mid morning. Cream of broccoli Soup for lunch, late afternoon half a yogurt. Get home drink another Protein shake with some yogurt or some applesauce.

Is that too much?

Thanks a lot. All of you make me feel better with your responses.

I was sleeved on 9/20 and I still feel rough. Weak and stomach still sensitive. Is this normal? I feel like I could lay down all day but I don't. I force myself to get up and do things.

Right after surgery, I got my period and it was horribly heavy due to the blood thinners.
