Thanks for the advice. I have been eating some mash potatoes and cheesy potatoes but it has only been a tablespoon. I was hoping since this was so little that it wouldn't matter. I will stop eating the carbs. I am eating mostly protein. I have eggs, chicken, turkey, shrimp. These have been mixed with light mayo and pureed. I am now off pureed foods as long as I chew everything really well. For dinner I am having some ground beef with spaghetti sauce. It is probably about 2-3 tablespoons and that is it till my snack which usually consists of canned pears, peaches, or Greek yogurt. I have a really hard time moving my bowels and I need to take laxatives. The only time I seem to lose weight is after I go. I got on the scale this morning and was down 3 lbs. which I was really happy about. But I am afraid I will just put it back on again. I am trying not to be negative and am working on a more positive attitude. I do have to put the scale away and only weigh myself once a week. Travel Guru I would love it if you would post what you eat. This would help. I think I am in a rut. It seems like I eat the same things over and over again.

I was sleeved on February 11, I lost 6 lbs. the first week and then after that I have lost and gained the same 2 lbs. I am not getting a lot of fluids in. It is hard to drink a lot. I am not sure how one drinks 8 glasses of water a day with the sleeve. I am totally frustrated that I am not losing more for how little I am eating. I spoke with the nutritionist at the hospital and she said I need to eat only two spoonfulls at each meal and one snack. I have done what she said and I am still not losing. I really thought the weight would come off a lot quicker since I barely eat anything. I have started walking and this doesn't seem to help either. I have my doctor's appointment this Tuesday and will see what he says about this. I can't believe that I have gone through all of this and not lose any weight. If others have had this experience, when does the weight loss start or doesn't it? I would love everyone's advise on how they handle this.
