Just wanted to share for those of us stuck in a stall early out.
Was sleeved 18/12 . Starting weight 119 kg day of surgery. Lost 8 kg on the first week and a half then only 1 kilo the next week. Bounced between 111 and 112 kg since and was feeling really despondent as I have been following post p.o. instructions to a tee! 2 days ago I took some advice from this forum and called my NUT and she told me to up my calories from 500-600 a day to 700-800. It was hard to get any more food in (still on mushies) but I started adding a tbsp of unflavoured Protein Powder to everything I ate and today I am down to 109 kg. I'm hoping this sticks!

Make sure you're getting in that water! That'll help with the weight loss.
Personally on the go stuff I like, I also have Protein Shakes in my car just in case, but I've made a batch of chicken salad with hard-boiled eggs in it for extra Protein and at Walmart they sell 2 oz cups with lids, so I can throw one of those in a lunchbox with a cold pack. You could also have hardboiled eggs in zip locks for grab and gos. As well as if you're allowed it, lunch meat with cheese sticks are really simple protein for on the go.

Unfortunately my plan doesn't allow cheese sticks until week 6 but I'm definitely planning on that for a lunch!

Best of luck!

I'm so relieved to know that I am not the only one in this boat! I was sleeved 18/12 So I'm just at 3 weeks post op. I'm down 25 lbs since surgery but stalled as soon as I switched to pureed foods. I lost nothing most of last week and was feeling really pissed off about it. This morni g I weighed myself and was so relieved to see I was down 2 lbs, I really really hope I'm pulling out of this stall!

I was sleeved on 12/6 I am down 27lbs and also stalled week 2&3 ... started losing again this week. I go to the gym I do the tredmill, stationary bike & elliptical so far. I was so bummed during the stall and glad I started losing again! Best wishes on your new you journey!

This is my first post. I was sleeved in Orange County on 12/7. I am down 25 lbs as of today which basically puts me at loosing an average of a lb a day. I stalled from week 2 to week 3, but seem to be loosing again. I am no where close to where I want to be, but so thankful I am not where I was.
Wondering if anyone has hit the gym yet? I am eager to get in and put in some work. Walking is great, but I get so bored. Obviously no weights until cleared, but thinking bike and other cardio equipment.
Also, what are some of you go to puree/soft foods favs? I just started phase 2 last Thursday, so I am still getting a feel for what I can tolerate.
Lastly, anyone take Probiotics? I am looking to start one in hopes that it will make me far more regular.

My surgery is Dec 6th... I can't wait! My husband had the surgery last Dec on the 7th. He has had tremendous success. He is a true inspiration to me! Wishing you all a great surgery, speedy recovery & all the success in the World!

My surgery is Dec 6th but my husbands surgery was last Dec he is 5lbs from his goal weight. He drinks at least 2 shakes a day. He lost all his weight in the 1st 6-8 month's. Protein is very important for you health, muscles and weight loss. There is a calculator app that will tell you how much protien you need for your specs.

I don't think that you can get too much Protein because your pouch is so small. The protein builds muscle and protects against loose skin and protects against Hair loss. I use GNC Amp 60 original Protein Powder and it has a statement on the label which says that the amino acid L-Carnitine is responsible for burning the fat and converting it to lean muscle mass. I really like that statement!

I've been using the Premier Protein shakes and like the taste. They also don't upset my stomach. I have to pour them over ice....can't drink out of the container. I like them very cold.

I just started pre-op diet and absolutely fell in love with Syntrax nectar Sweets Double Stuffed Cookie powder w/ milk. Tastes like an oreo shake!
