Hi everyone just wanted to see how everyone is doing? I have lost about 80lbs now just under 200 finally. Want to lost 40 to fifty more but seem to have hit a stall for over a month. I find myself really hungry lately and wanting to eat any and everything but curb that as much as possible. I was wondering though if anyone had any tips and if anyone could tell me how many calories should be eaten at this stage. Thank you:)

Thank you all

Ok thank u all

How long do you have to wait before you can eat popcorn and have seeds?

thank you all:)

can anyone tell me the max amount of carbs we ahould have?

I keep reading about people who are not as happy with their two week weight loss. Well' date=' I've officially only lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks and 2 days...following doctor's instructions on eating and exercise. He tried to comfort me with the magical words "everyone is different," but he admitted that typical weight loss is 15-20 lbs. it's very discouraging because I am on 600-800 calories/day which would have felt like starving before the surgery. Of course, I am not hungry now, but it's only a matter of time and we do get our appetite back...Sigh...[/quote']

i guess we just have to be patient and hopefully things will change soon:)

Was anyone disappointed in the amount of weight they lost in two weeks? I am at the ER and just saw I have only lost 17 lbs .

i go for my follow up tomorrow but when o weighed myself at home it only seemed to be between 10 and 12 pounds. very disappointing:(

Even though I was sleeved on the 17th' date=' I don't get to see my doctor for the two-week appointment until the 2nd. I haven't even lost 10 lbs, so I am bracing myself for some kind of disappointment from him, but I don't think I did anything wrong as per his instructions.

As for SCARRING - if it feels lumpy, I think that is normal. Two of my scars are really lumpy. I would be more worried if you said the incisions were causing pain and/or if there was increased redness.[/quote']

i dont think i have either. its frustrating bc i have been doing what i was told also:(

yes im definitely going through that

hello everyone. i also had my sleeve done on the 17th. not exactly sure how much weight ive lost but wen i weighed myself last sunday with my sneakers on it was only four to five pounds and i was very disappointed. the first couple days were easy as far as hunger cravings then they kicked in. im also having trouble with drinking enough too. hopefully this week with the puree stage things will become easier and hopefully when i have my follow up this week i will have lost more weight so i wont feel like i did it all for nothing. good luck to u all:)

oh ok. thank you all:)

didnt see the other response. ive tried the creamrd Soup. its ok and Jello but only once. i also yesterday had a very small amount of meat that was ok too.

i also had mine done on the 17th. having a few difficulties but for the most part its ok. good luck to you!

thank you! i thought it was alot too but i figured it might have been because of their weight one was over 400 the other under 300. but i also thought that was normal

hello everyone! i had my surgery on the 17th and was able to come home the next day. for the first couple days i was not hungry or thirsty and was struggling to get through the requirements. now my appetite has come back but im not really finding anything im supposed to have appealing. any suggestions on combating hunger? also it does not feel like im losing weight fast enough either. i weighed myself on sunday (with sneakers on lol) and seemed to have lost only 4 to 5 pounds...is this normal? i have several friends who have had it done as well and on their first week they have lost anywhere from 15 to 20 lbs which is way more than i have:(
