Today I'm down 18lbs total. 14lbs since surgery date.

I just got my period today after 1 year of not having one on Depo shot. I was always regular and never failed except when I was pregnant for it to come on time the 21st of the month. I had surgery 1/21 and nothing. But I didn't expect anything. Then this past week I seemed to be in a stall. Mother said it must be that time of the month. I'm like no bcuz of the Depo and if it were its not the 21st??? Well behold its the 9th and here it is. Maybe now I can drop some more pounds???

I' be been freezing since surgery!

Wow so sorry for that. I had surgery once and had wound care like that that was so painful getting packed daily. But through all of this have you lost anything???

I drink Vitamin Water which has some calories and plain water with water flavoring Mio's. I hate the taste of plain water. I also have flavored Propel water. I drink herbal teas and occasional hot chocolate for a treat. I have ready to drink Protein shakes. I like Total Lean by GNC and Muscle Milk. I bought cream of chicken to go Soups in a drinkable can that's really good. I drank chicken broth and had cream of broccoli Soup and veggie soup. That's about it. I'm not really creative in the kitchen and I can't bring myself to purée something that should be chewed lol. A lot of people on here have some great recipes that sound good.

That's great. Thanks. I'm going to ck this out now.

I am 5"6 was 210 day of surgery with a low BMI. I was self pay bcuz I'm impatient and didn't want to go through the red tape. I had surgery 1/21 with no complications other than my current stall. Everyone is different. But it can be done. Will ins cover it or not that's a whole nother question only your ins can answer.

Wow congrats!!! I'm just at 3 weeks post op and for the past week have lost nothing. The first 2 weeks I lost 17lbs. I don't know what to change up. I'm drinking up to 16oz of water, 1-2 protein shakes a day, jello, and soups typically. Why an I having a stall?

I'm in the same boat. I actually gained 1 pound then lost it over 2 days. But still nothing significant in the past 5 days now. I was sleeved 1/21

I'm on North LV. I was sleeved 1/21 in TJ. I don't know of any support groups but I could use one.

I am typically doing 1 protein shake in the AM either Muscle Milk or Lean Shake from GNC in chocolate or Vanilla. Then a cup of herbal tea or I sip on a 16oz bottle of water all day. A jello cup for snack. A can or really 1/2 can of soup either cream of chicken or butternut squash. Dinner is the rest of soup or a shake. Water, jello or sugar free Popsicle. The last two days however I have tried soft food that really isn't sitting well and today I was craving lemon cookies and ate some. So so bad. But I'm still under my daily calories of 800 so not so bad...hopefully.

They told me there would be a little peeling...I look like I've been in a fire lol. My whole face is coming off! I have to show my face at work tomorrow and I'm so not looking forward to it. The good thing is that I can see a difference

How much have you lost do far and what's your typical daily diet. I'm going real slow and thinking that I'm doing wrong.

I was sleeved the same day and have only lost 4.5lbs. What does your typical day look like as far as liquids and Protein go?

Thanks! I did lose 1.6 lbs now. Def slow progress but I'm encouraged now.

At this point I'm 4 days post op. I was able to do full liquids today. Had some heartburn and pain in my abdomen last night. Only been queasy once yesterday after I got home. I haven't lost any significant weight yet. Just ounces every day. I'm struggling with head hunger. How are any new Sleevers doing?

I was sleeved Monday and I also gained weight. I gained 4 lbs and have only lost 4 ounces.
