Hi Minnie - You're not alone!!!! I had lost 21 lbs by my 9th day out and my scale didn't budge for over a week. I am finally moving again after about 9 days of no loss. I think our bodies just need to catch up to the changes. Keep following your diet and walking everyday, it WILL pay off. Also, look at those Non-Scale-Victories (NSV) like how your clothes look, fit and feel. Congrats and don't lose hope. Try to keep things in perspective and don't let that evil little scale derail you. YOU GOT THIS!!!!

I was sleeved on 2/12 and am down 26 lbs since surgery and a total of 50 since 1/1/13! I'm only 1 lb away from leaving THREE-ville FOREVER!!! I'm in puréed foods and am getting a little bored. I've searched for recipe ideas but so far, nothing that jumps out at me. Does anyone have any wins they can share with me? I'm getting in my Protein and fluids and walking daily. I hope to start Zumba in the next few weeks! Best of luck to all and continued success!!! Please share any puréed recipes that you love :-)

God bless you, the surgeon, and all of your medical staff. I pray for a speedy recovery and a successful journey! Cheers to a new you!!! Drink plenty of fluids and walk every 2 hours even if you don't want to... it speeds up your recovery and helps get rid of the bloating :-)

Hope ur feeling better soon!

Hi, I juiced during my pre-op and post-op diet. I spoke with my surgeon before doing so and he was fine with it. Post-op, I strained my juice after juicing... I was very surprised how much pulp and what not made it through my juicer. I make the same juice and drink it over a day or two: 6-8 large kale leaves 2 cups spinach 3 zucchinis 4 large carrots 4 gala apples Pinch or two of cilantro (Optional - 1/4 thick slice of ginger root) Great stuff, very green but yummy!!! I love it because its packed with micro-nutrients :-) Best of luck to you!!!

Way to go!!!

Sounds like you are tackling it! Keep up the great work!!!

Vanilla is my fav but I also enjoy the chocolate. I get mine at Sam's for $18 a box. I add extracts to mine to mix it up! I add coconut to the chocolate - YUMMY!!! And banana to the vanilla - just delish!!! My Mom enjoys adding orange or cherry to vanilla as well. Tomorrow I'm adding mint to my chocolate, sounds dreamy :-)

Congratulations and keep smiling!!! You look fabulous!!!

Congrats and great inspiration! You look amazing!!b
