Do you watch"fat doctor" on Hulu?

Hello everyone, I am in big need of your help. I am not much of a cooker and I am having a hard time finding things to eat. I was sleeved on April 1, 2013. I am currently on soft food, I find myself eating tuna, chicken with cooked veggies, sardines, jello and Popsicles most of the time .. Oh I did make that ricotta back once (lasted all week). I am down 45 pounds (including pre-op) but the scale has not really moved since surgery. Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions? Thanking you all in advance!!

Yeah, but after the 43 pounds everything just has seemed to stop! Hoping the weight start back to coming off.

How did everything go?

How did everything go?

Wishing you well..... Today is your day!!

How did your surgeries go? I had my surgery on April 1st as well and I am downing and feeling pretty good!!

Congrats on your date!!

Its been 10 days post op for me and I am so happy that I did it. I feel a big difference already!

Hello Everyone!! I went for my 10 day post op evaluation and Dr. Sherman at Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX, and he states that I am doing great!! Starting Weight 384 Surgery Weight 364 Current Weight 341 Down 43 pounds!! I use to have bad pain in my feet before surgery and I noticed that it has stopped. I have more energy and not as sleepy as I use to be. I am also told that I have stopped snoring!! Lol, what a difference a few days make!!

Awesome job!

You will be fine! Being 6'2" 384 pounds, believe me when I say that I thought there was no way I was going to complete a 14day pre op liquid ONLY diet. I bought shakes, Gatorade, etc, etc and I did not look back. Like people stated in other threads, after the third day, I didn't focus on not eating, but just drinking my shakes, Water etc on my schedule. My body told me when I was hungry and I had a drink. Jello and Popsicles were/are great and helped me. The days leading up to surgery, there was one moment were I almost lost it and wanted to give up. I had told friends, coworkers and family that I was having surgery and I thought what if I failed, what if I eat the wrong thing, what if the weight don't fall off? But then I heard a whisper that said, look at how far I have brought you.. In your pre-op diet, you lost 14 pounds. You are already doing great! He is in control and you will do just fine. Use the tool and I will see you at your goal line! My surgery was on 4/1. After coming home, I was weighing myself daily, but I had to stop. I will weigh myself again on Monday, but I do know the last weigh in was 355 which is 29 pounds down. You can do it!

I'm sleeved!! 2 days post op and I am back at home resting. Out of everything I have to deal with, I would say the gas is the most difficult.

Thank you!! The surgery went well and I am back at home. So glad to back home!!

1 day to go!!

Thank you for your kind words!!

Try the bouillon cubes, they have way more flavor! Wishing you well on your diet.

Thanks!! Congrats on your surgery! I am ready for my surgery!!

I was shocked when they said April first.. But either way I am ready for it!

Congrats on your surgery!! I am glad to hear everything went smoothly. I have one more week to go and I can't wait!
