Thank you soo much. Now at least I have a window lol. You can't have a bonfire and no beer. It's un-American

Dang. Ok. Thank you!

Does anyone know if or when beer is allowed? I'm almost 5 weeks out and I dnt plan on having one anytime soon, but is there a certain time it's allowed? Bonfire season is coming up soon and I just wanna know I can have one if I want one.

Mee!!! I'm in a 2 and a half week stall now. I hate it. It makes me feel like I went thru this whole ordeal for nothing. Although I did step on the scale this morning and it had went down a lb. fingers crossed it keeps heading south!!

Thanks ladies..it really helps to know I'm not alone in the "slow losers" category lol. I guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, stay away from the scale and hope it starts moving again...SOON!!

Ok can someone please tell me how a person who has had a vsg sugery GAINS 4 lbs since yesterday?? I'm so mad right now I could scream. It's not my period because I've had a uterine ablation done a couple years ago. I dnt know what I'm doing wrong. I just wanna give up and run to the fridge but I can't. So that depresses me more. I can't win

No you're definitely not alone. I'm right there with you

I know I should be happy with 27 and I really am. It's just that I thought being almost a month out I would've lost a little more. I'm really trying to be patient but i waited almost a year to have this surgery, and now I'm stuck waiting for the stupid scale to move. Doesn't seem fair.

Sleeved 7/24 and have lost 27 lbs so far. My scale hasn't moved in 2 weeks either. Getting so very discouraged I knw stalls happen but I wasn't prepared for it to be so soon.

Ohh that makes sense. I did take little tiny sips at first but I'm finding now that I can tolerate bigger drinks at a time. Thank goodness. But does that mean the stomach is stretching? Or just healing and becoming less swollen?

I don't really have a problem with taking bigger "sips" either. Does anyone know the reason for sipping? Will it stretch the pouch if you gulp? I've always been a gulper and its really hard not to now :/

Hey Melanie, I'm 3 weeks out today and i have the same problem. This one incision where, I'm guessing is where they took the stomach out, is still sore. Especially when I bend over. And it feels like there is a bump under it. I was thinking it was scar tissue because they all kind of feel that way. But this one is the worst one. And I haven't lost anything in 2 weeks so I'm getting a little discouraged also. I'm gonna be the 1.9% that this doesn't work for.

Thanks guys I guess there's nothing to do but wait. That app sounds like something I could use to because while I'm getting in my liquids, I should probably try and step it up a little.

Sleeved on 7-24 and down 26 lbs. Apparently I've hit my first stall because I haven't lost anything in a week. So frustrating because I'm doing everything right. I guess it's good that I can't go have that sympathy binge that used to happen every time I'd get discouraged. I knw this happens but I was hoping it wouldn't have happened this soon

Does anyone know about honey? I wanted to put some in a cup of hot tea but not sure if its allowed. Has anyone ever heard that its not?

I'm the same way. I was sleeved on the 24th and I still cannot tell hunger pains from full pain. It's seems like I have hunger pains all the time. I jave a yogurt or a few bites of cottage cheese and i get this little pain so i stop. Also, i think i made the mistake if drinking right after i ate because i almost threw up. Anyone else ever expwrienxe that? I know I'm not getting my water or protein in though and today i started purée. Does anyone know if baby food would be ok? Some of it does have sugar but its way down there on the list of ingredients so I'm not sure? I am, however, down 20 lbs since last Thursday so I guess I'm doing something right?

Wow I didn't know that!! I will do that. Thank you!

Yea I think they are all different and tell us different things. I actually made some but could only get about 5 small bites in. Then it started to hurt a little. I guess I'm done for the night lol. Thank you!

Ok. I wasn't sure. I thought since they were soft they'd be ok but what do I knw. I'm still learning lol. Thank you

I was sleeved on 7/24. I think I'm supposed to start puréed foods tomorrow. Do mashed potatoes count? And what about sodium? Am I supposed to be watching that? I dnt remember my nutritionist saying anything about that but I could be wrong. Thank you

Me too! My vision has been a little weird too. It's getting better though. I thought maybe because i was dehydrated, someone told me that could be. Other pain is subsiding. Hopefully on the downward side of everything now

Indium47 u sound a lot like me. I still have a gas bubble stuck in my left side under my rib cage. And it hurts when i take a deep breath. I dnt think I'm getting in my water and protein, but I get to start puréed foods on Thursday! I still feel really tired. I dnt think I've ever gotten caught up on that. Sites are healing nicely and are almost pain free, although the site where they took my drain out started to ooze a little. I changed the bandage and put a clean one on and I haven't had any more problems. Also am finally able to sleep at night without sitting up. So grateful for that. I am down 13 lbs in my first week so YAY! Can't "weight" to see how I'm gonna look and feel in a few more weeks. Good luck everyone and God bless

Nothing to be scared of. I was too. But before you know it you'll be on the other side of the fence. Good luck!

Yes! I have that pressure too! I can't tell if its still gas? Or I'm hungry? Having a very hard time getting my water and protein in. Can't wait to start puréed food Thursday. I'm so tired of broth and shakes. Down about 10 lbs since surgery on 7/24.

Yes! I can't tell if its hunger pains or if I'd "eaten" to much, or gas. It's driving me insane because I feel like I'm not meeting my intake goals. I'm hoping this will get better.
