Great job!!!

I have my six week check up today. I hope to get cleared so I can start some weight lifting. I've slowly lost 25 pounds since surgery on the 12. I feel great and have had no problems. When I read all the post where so many are struggling to keep down 2-3 bites of food I don't know if I should be happy with my currant status or worried that things are going down too easily. I generally eat about 600 -700 cals a day. Trying to increase to 800 per my NUT. I guess I have no complaints other than wishing I'd drop more weight ????

I found the group. Thank you so much!! BTW... You look fabulous!!!

What post op group? Please direct me.

That's great!!! I love to hear from people that are at the same stage. ????

My start weight was 215 and I feel like its been a slow road as well. What was your start weight?

You are doing great!!! I was sleeved on the 12th and I'm down 25

Stay positive, it is flu season. When you say my Doctor do you mean your surgeon or Primary Doctor? Have you had your 6 week check up? I was told that if you can get past the first six weeks we should be in the clear from a leak. Prayers for you and hope you feel better very soon.

I'm six weeks out and my weights not moving and I think it's the Protein shakes. I'm going to start trying to consume more protein through real food and just use the shakes as supplement. I've been drinking three a day and they get old. They all taste too sweet to me. Yuck!! The one in the morning was easy because I mixed it with my coffee which cut the sweet flavor down. The other problem I'm having is I'm not going..... I think the shakes bind you up somehow.

I'm with you. This is my sixth week. My weight is not moving very much. Six weeks out and total lost is 20 pounds???? My support group talked about stalls last night and stalls are the time to start evaluating what your currently doing. Look at your Protein, Fluid intake, exercise and calories. If all is good we just have to wait it out. Not happy with that part ????

There were several people from my support group that experience dizziness. Ask your Doct about it.

Are you on MFP? If so add me. Greenfamily007

My NuT told me to mix my protein powder with 1% milk to add more nutrients, calories and protein. I also was told to try and add a little veggies

I'm starting my 5th week I've only lost 17# I went to my NUT today and she said I'm not eating enough calories and my body is in starvation mode. I've been getting in between 400-600 calories a day... NUT says I need at least 800. WOW!!! I'm moving up. Guess that means I've got some more eating to do. Lol!!! I so hope this helps me move past this stall.

You are doing wonderful!!! I hope that I'm where you are in 3 1/2 months. My one month was today and I've only lost 17 pounds. Very discouraging!!!! You did say something that makes me rethink my Protein. I'm currently only getting about 70 grams a day. Now I'm wondering if I up it will I loose more weight. I've been worried that taking in more means that my calories will also be increased. Can some one please tell me what my protein, carbs and calories should be at this stage? I asked my Doctor at my two week post op and he just said to not worry about the amount if protein just to focus on getting all of 64 oz fluids in. I don't see him for a few more weeks. Help!!!

Hope you feel better soon. You need to take it easy. Doctor said six weeks out should put you past the leak stage so .... Slow down your still healing.

Now you can feel better. I'm one month out to the day.... 17 pounds Slow weight loss.... Maybe I'll keep my hair by loosing slower. Lol!!!!

I was sleeved 9/12 weighed 215. I'm four weeks out and today's weight 198 = 17 wonderful pounds gone forever!!!!! I feel like its a little slow but I'm happy it's going down!

I had Dr Macik. Good to meet another Kaiser girl!! Lol!! Chili sounds so yummy. I haven't tried anything like that yet but now I want to. Keep me posted how your doing. Also do you use My Fitness Pal? If so add me Greenfily007
