Today I am one month post-op and have only lost 17 pounds. !4 of that was lost in the first 14 days after surgery so in the last 2.5 weeks i have only lost 3 pounds. It is very discouraging as little as I am eating. Just dont know what to do.

Donny...would be fun to have a get together in austin sometimes..going to a support group tonight..after i get to know some people maybe we can do that!

Support Group tonight, Wens. Nov 12th, at North Austin Medical Center room 2-A for more info call 9012005 is from 6-7:30. hope to see some of you guys there!

austin here as well...was sleeved on the 19th of nov. Starting the support groups this month...excited to make friends that are traveling the same road:)

Th anks so much for all the support and advice...this is a fantastic site...what wonderful folks here!

i bought the zumba cd's! i will get on that !

thanks

thank you linda i was also curious...i was much heavier than you but its good to get an idea...your looking pretty good to me

i came back in 2 weeks but my job is alot of up and down. Im doing ok but the fist day i almost fainted but my nut said it was because i was starving myself...I bout the premeir Protein shakes from SAMS that have 30 grams pf Protein in them...been drinking tywo a day and feel much better but still tired. If you have a desk job 2 weeks should be plenty. If your job is real active you might want to try and take 3 and do what they tell you to get in your Proteins and Fluid. I regret not getting it in like i was supposed to.

good luck

Thanks guys...i just wanted to cry when i got on the scale. Im so hungry for real food but im afraid to eat anything. im on purees this week but i cant hardly handle most pureed food...i cant do the texture of pureed chicken made me want to puke. Ive been eating cream Soups and mashed potatoes and pureed refried beans...they brought some of those bite sized broccolli and egg quiche to work and i had one for Breakfast 2 days in a row...flaked most the crust off so seriously how much could be in one of those. I cant wait to get to real food. Is anyone here on My Fitness Pal that keeps the food diary on there. I just joined but would love to see what people eat.

Was feeling very week im on day 24 post-op and felt like fainting on Monday when I started back to work. My Nut said I wasnt getting enough calories that he didnt want me counting carbs , calories nothing. He said he wanted me eating cream Soups, Protein Drinks anything to stay hydrated. Ok, I did this and I gained 3 pounds in 3 days. I am suppossed to start soft foods next week. I just feel like this isnt working:(

thank you all...i will start pushing those fluids...is not easy but will shoot for it starting tomorrow

me too....i didnt feel that bad at home...but i am up and down alot at work and i just want to lay down. thank you...i know my Protein is lacking...guess i didnt relise just how important it was

probably not...find it hard to get down so much...im really pushing it today though

oh sweetie...my ex left me because i was fat. He also just came in one day..almost the excact day yours did 12 years ago and announced he no longer wished to be married. He has lived with someone ever since he left me has no plans of marrying her...I waited for years b4 i even went out on another date. I was devestated so I know excactly what you are going through. Just remember God is with you and He will be what you need to get through this. You obviously have prayers already from many here and I will pray for you as well. It wont be easy because the easiest thing to do is blame yourself for failing. You did not fail. YOu both took an oath before God for better and for worse...he left you and I will tell you this...if he doesnt come back you are better off without him and you will be happy again. Just trust God my friend....you have made a major decision to better your life and He will bless you for it. It will be ok...my heart, thought and prayers are with you.

hey guys started back to work mon...im into my 3rd weel postop...today i feel dizzy and like im going to pass out...short of breath also...did anyone else feel like this...i can understand one would with as little calories but still i feel so freaking tired....also...havent lost weight in three days even gained a pound...thats frustrating as hell. what did yall do?

how long after your surgery b4 you started working out. You look awesome...Im proud for you?

wow....theres a really cute guy in there:) congrratulations....keep up the great work.

i love the frozen greek yogurt by healthy choice....is yummy

ME TO I AM 15 DAYS OUT 14 POUNDS DOWN AND HAVENT LOST ANYTHING IN 3 DAYS....PLUS MY ACID REFLUX IS AWFUL...I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION.

i printed all the recipes out in advance anticipating that they would be good. I loved her tortilla Soup recipe as well, without the tortillas fo the first two weeks here...was a life saver i need that spice:)

im not going to worry about the fat...not going to go crazy but not counting it either...im basically going to do like a modified atkins...my biggest thing because im bottom heavy is not overdoin the carbs.

i dont know if this is what your asking but another member said her daily goals where 600-800 calories, max 40g carbs, min 60 g Protein and 64 oz of liquids plus the Vitamins as prescribed....i liked the guidelines and have adopted them as my own.

Im so glad to hear someone likes them. I was looking at the nut content and is not bad for one cupcake and i assumed that would be all one could eat. Have you tried any reheated yet? I was thinking they would be geat to take to work for lunch. Which one is your favorite?
