I talked to my nutritionist today..... I was sleeved on Sept. 17th..... I think the key for me is to physically measure out my food with a measuring cup and not eyeballing it. At this point I am allowed 1/4 cup of food that I have to eat over 20-30 minutes LOL.. eating one pea at a time I plan on buying a digital food scale too, not sure how much 2 ounces of deli meat is other than the fact that it is far, far less than what used to be my norm. Get back to basics. I wish you well

You look awesome!!!!!

I find that Afrin works great for a runny nose. Delsym works great for a cough. I I hope you feel better

wow... you guys have totally described everything that I have been experiencing.....No loss in over a week... down 20 pounds total. Sleeved on Sept. 17th....lost 10 pounds prior to surgery and 10 pounds after. Praying to see that scale start moving down. Working on increasing my water intake; for some reason I am finding this hard to do. I wish you all well. Thankful to have found others who were sleeved the same day that I was and to know that I am not alone with this "stall" thing.

Great idea about the sugar free syrups. Sam's club carries these syrups right beside the coffee supplies. The brand that I use is DaVinci Gourmet. This brand is sweetened with Splenda. I think I will try the Kahlua flavor in some vanilla protein powder. Thanks for the great idea!

I was sleeved on Sept. 17th . I have lost 20 pounds total since preop/surg. - 10 pounds before and 10 pounds after... I went back and re-read my sleeve instructions. I realized I wasn't getting in enough Protein...optimally 60-70 gm of protein daily. Yesterday I made sure I adhered to the plan. The scale still hasn't moved. My nurse stressed the importance of 64 oz. of Water daily and the protein. Today is a new day ! I am pumped and dedicated to reach my goals.

Awesome

Just discovered dailyplate.com awesome site....keeps me on track :-)

Yep, it's on the Livestrong site :-)

I am 5"2' and 3-weeks out from surgery. I have lost a total of 20 pounds since starting the prep surgery. I have hit a stall.......In this 3rd week the scale is not budging....ugh very discouraging. Planning on ramping up on exercise this week any hoping to see the numbers start dropping.
