My surgery was Jan 24,and i;m only able to eat a few spoons full,but i set my timer to remind my self to eat every two hours even when i'm not hungry,because if i listen to my stomach i would never eat, i had a stall,and i was told to increase my intake,so i listen and it's working,now the scale is moving again..

Yes i was told to increase my intake,so i set my timer every two hours to eat even when i'm not hungry,and also you could be losing inches and it will not show on the scale,i notice when i was walking on the treadmill every day my scale would not move,so i stop the exercising for a while and my scale started moving i know strange,but it's working i wil start back again,but for now it's working i probally burning up what i did not have to burn so it stall my weight loss.but keep doing what you doing it will start moving again don't get discourage,,and stay away from that scale for a while ..

I was told to increase my meals,so what i do is i set my timer every two hours to remind my self to eat,even when i'm not hungry,and i notice the the scale starting moving again,and when i was walking on my treadmill,i was not eating enough,so i stop it for a while and i find it's working,but i will start my walking again,but i will have to make sure i'm eating enough to burn,and also you could be losing inches that will not show on the scale,and my doctor told me to only weight my self once a week,and i know it's hard lol.. so just kt you are doing and make sure you are getting your water in,and you will see the difference, your body is trying to catch up with the change,and once it figure out that your weight will start dropping again..so stay encourage and put that scale away because it may keep you angry at it ")

Yes i had that too,that is where they took the stomach out,but it gets better in time..

Yes i was told to increase my intake when i had a stall for two weeks,so now o time my self every two to remind me to eat, even when i'm not hungry,and it's hard because if i listen to my stomach i will never eat lol..and also only do your weight once a week,and i know that's hard too.and also it may not show you are losing on the scale but you could be losing inches,that will not show on scale..and if you are exercising,you really needs to up your intake,i only was able to get on my treadmill once this week and i see the scale are dropping looks like i lose more when i'm not exercising

I have a sippy cup also love them

PLEASE, PLEASE. PLEASE FOLLOW THE DR. ORDERS.IT GETS BETTER TRUST ME:)...

Just remember When you do start exercising please increase your meals,because if you are burning calories and you are not eating and drinking you will cause your weight to stall i had to learn so i set my timer every two hours to make sure i eat,even tho i am not hungry,and it's working now i see the scale moving again

I did the first two weeks so many emotions going through your minds.first you realize that food willl no longer be your friend,and you question that you made the right decision,and being on clear liqiud is hard,but after you get through the first two weeks it get's easy and time go by,i'm now on soft foods,so i can eat foods that i like but just not much of it only a few spoons and i'm full,i find the chat line on here was such a big help click in to the chat room daily,it will help you to get through,it's hard to talk to family,unless they went through it so be encourage it will get better

Yes i was told to increase my meals,when i came to a stall,so what i do is set my timer ever two hours,to remind my self to eat,because if i ilsten to my stomach,i will never eat lol..even when i'm full i still make myself to eat,because i can only eat a few spoons at a time anyway..and yes i notice the difference when i start eating more.this weekend i was out of town,and i got off track, i'm back home so i'm back on track..and also you could be losing inches that will not show on the scale,and that is what was going on with me, my clothes was steady getting bigger,but the scale was not moving.i was told to take my weight once a week and not every day,i know it get's hard and you can't help it,

What helps me is that i take a good smell of it and it work for me lol..and it's just like i'm eating it.,..

Just remember this process takes time,listen to your Dr,do not be afraid to ask for something for pain,with me i had a pain pump,and it work wonders,get up and move as soon as the Dr. clear you,walk around the nurses station at lease every two hours.most of all say a prayer before you go in,you will be ok..

Did they give you the pain pump? Try to get your rest,and if you don't have the pump make sure they giving you your meds on time,because the way they will give it to you is when you ask for it..

Well i do buy the drozen fruit with no suger added,and it makes my shake taste so much better,and i needed the extra calories,because i was not eating enough,which can stall your weight,so it helps with the extra calories my body needs so it works out fine for me..i add the strawberries and berries mix..

Yes i also had a stall i was told to increase my meals.so i set the timer,every two hours to remind my self to eat,even if i'm not hungry,and also you could be losing inches that wil not show on the scale,and when i increase my meals i notice the scale is moving so be encourage,it will start moving again.and also i was told to not get on the scale everyday,i know it's hard .

My surgery was on jan.24,and i also had a stall,i was told to increase my meals,so i set the timer to remind my self to eat,even if i'm never hungry,and also you can also be losing inches that will not show on the scale,because when i had a stall,i was still getting smaller and it confused me ,also my Dr. told me to only check my weight once a week,and it's hard not to get on the scale everyday lol..and when i increase my meals,than i notice my scale is starting to move again.so hang in there it will start moving again..

My surgery was on jan 24.and i am still not able to eat but a few spoons full,i'm on pureed now and i start my soft foods on wednesday.you feel full all day so it's hard,and just go with the flow:

My surgery was jan 24,and i had a stall for over a week and i was told to up my meals so i set the timer every two hours,to remind me to eat,even when i'm not hungry,and i notice the scale started moving again,and also u could be losing inches that does not show on the scale. i was told to only get on the scale once a week,but it's hard,have u started to exercise yet? i

ABout two

Well you are only two weeks out,with my doctor i had to follow the phases.first two.liquid, the second phase pureed,and the third was soft, my surgery was on the 24 of last month,and i can only eat a few spoon full.so yes that will last for a few month..

No this is my furst time hearing of this,i went in on the 22 last month for the bypass,but i had to much scar tissue,so they. brought me back in on the 25 for the sleeve,

It will get better the two weeks is the hardest,once you get through those first two weeks it will be better, please listen to your Dr. and follow your phases,because you don't want to get sick,just try to flush as much fluids as u can,because on my first posp-op they had to give me iv fluids in the office,and also don't do your weight everyday,only once a week i know it's hard,when u start your second phase u will notice a weight drop so pay the scale no mine,because it's only water,stay encourage,trust me it will get better :)Also i find the timer helps me it reminds you to drink and eat , and i feel you on jello i will not eat jello for the rest of my life lol..

I agree with sleeve master,i'm suprise you call eat all of that i was on liquids for two weeks,and the second phase,and than the third phase which is the pureed food,and than you go to soft foods,well every Dr. is different,but i can say eating to fast will do that,and your soups make sure you are straining them..

I was dehydrated on my first post-op apt,they had to give me in fluids in the office i felt so much better,i was so weak that morning i could not get dress,i knew something was not right,puressure drop,and i had a low temp. it is so hard to get in all the fluids,because u have that full feeling all day..
