I dont have any acid problems....i try to drink as much fluid as i can one of my flaws though i will admit

2 months this Tuesday coming up

How do you get over your stalls? I have been one in a little over 3 weeks now and Im loosing my mind over it. I feel like no matter how hard i try or no matter what i do my body hates me and doesnt want me to lose the weight. Congrats on your weight loss and i hope you reach your goal soon.

I eat what im supposed to and watch my calories as well as my protein intake. I have a hard time getting enough fluids in but i try lol. These last few days I feel like I cant get enough to eat. Ill eat at my meal times and 45 mins later i feel like im starving and i could naw off my own arm lmao. I go to healthy snacks but i feel like im defeating the purpose of this surgery by munching all the time. Has anyone else gone through this?

Hey, the re flux feeling your getting is the gases from the surgery they will continue to be released through your body for another week or 2. The shortness of breath is due to that as well, you had major surgery your body is sore and is adjusting as well. If you still have that plastic tube that you were supposed to breath deep into at the hospital you can try doing that for a few extra days to see if that might help.

Drink more water, try eating something that you normally wouldn't being sleeved your body just might need a little extra to burn keep in the protein

I actually LOVE zumba wii its so much fun!!! becareful with how long you do it for because zumba is a high cardio workout you can burn what you take in, in just an hour workout. keep your protein up and if you feel lightheaded stop. if your burning more than your taking in your body with go into the reserves and youll end up stalling. Have fun!!

Careful with the fruit just because its fruit its still higher in carbs. Your really only supposed to take in fruit once a week because of the carbs and sugars. Like i said earlier the warm food with make you feel full. I didnt do the cream soups because the felt to heavy on my new pouch but the fat free Cheddar soup, the broth from chicken noodle, i ate ALOT of split pea soup that was my fav!

Hey im 2 months post op and an excersise junky. Ive been working out since day of surgery (walking etc) weight lifting needs to weight till atleast 6 weeks start low though than work your way up. With this surgery if your weight toning you will have to bump up your cals just alittle to keep your body from going into starvation mode and putting your into a stall. I only do weight training once a week and all else 5 times a week. No matter what workout your doing as long as your working out at a moderate pace and speed you will still "SHRINK" lol i am working on becoming a personal trainer as well as nutrition consult so if you need a help on workout plans/eating just let me no. good luck have fun

Im 2 months post op and you really do need that protein to keep your body from starving and picking up the reserve from your tissue/muscles etc try the atkins cafe carmel coffee its a protein mix but LIMIT these while still new to gastric sleeve, if you have a blender get creative. 1 scoop choc protein powder half a bananna and 1 cup almond milk (or whatever your drinking) blend till smooth. 1 scoop vanilla powder 1 cup milk handfull of pinapple, strawberries, blueberries which ever you wanna try. Just blend very well so no big pieces. Everything right now is trial and error you dont no whats going to happen until you try it first. Broccoli and cheese soup thinned out alittle than blended was soooooo good when i was on my liquid diet. Anything warm will give you the full feeling so i hope some of this helped if you need other recipes IM LOADED lmao

the atkins cafe carmel coffee is to die for. 160cals w 17g protein lil low for the calories but def a good way to start your day. check out the world according to eggface.com very helpful info and recipes

What are you eating/drinking before you go to sleep?

55 in liquid protein and maybe 25-35 with food

I will definitely try that. Thank you. How long did your stall usually last?

OK so i am 2 months post op and have been very active since the day of my surgery. I have lost 45 pounds so far but hit a stall a few weeks ago and have not lost A THING. I work out 5 days a week as well as weight toning I eat what im supposed to I have my treat occasionally but nothing bad all sugar free treats etc. I drink my protein shakes but im not loosing anything, can someone point me in the right direction or give me some advice to why im not loosing. THANK YOU!
