I am in the same boat, I am 5 weeks out and have lost 31 pounds, it took me 4 weeks to lose 6 pds !! I was having a hard time getting in my protien and drinking. Ive added some new foods and today was actually the first day I got all my protien in !! I know I have to eat to lose !! but I can't believe im saying this, Its hard to eat sometimes !! I know I need to exercise, but I still get tired.. hoping I can change that soon.. Good luck to everyone

I also have hit no movement on the scale, had surgery on 8/1 and the first few weeks I was down 27 pounds, but in the last 2 weeks Ive only lost another 3 pds, its very frustrating, Im trying to eat, but I just dont feel like it !! and Im struggling with drinking, so I chew ice alot. I eat because I know I need the energy to make it thru the day.Im starting to add more to my food choices, so Im hoping this will help. Just hang in there, we are all going thru the same thing !! it will all work out !!

I had alot of back pain while in the the hospital , the doctor said most likely from the hospital bed, but even at home for several days I still had it, I do not think it was gas pains, I think it had to do with the way I was laying down during the day and sleeping at night.

I am 13 days out, wish i had them sooner !! but they really help !!

So I saw someone post this on youtube, They bought " Graduates" from the baby food isle at the super market !! they are like little cheese curls, but they melt in your mouth !! They have a cheddar flavor, Veggi dip flavor and cinnamon maple flavor.. they dont have much of a taste, but the crunch is nice.. Somthing different .

Oh I would like that !!

Thanks !!! that it very helpful, what about laughing cow cheese, that should be good ?

Thanks for the info... we are omly 2 days apart, my surgey day was 8/1 so a few more days for me then I can start stage 3, Im looking forward to the egss & and some cheese !!!

I can not have any eggs, mashed potatoes etc until this coming wed.( can't wait !!) just getting bored with my cream Soup, sf pudding and yogurt !! I know I can do it, its just really rough !! thanks

Im into my 2 week post-op and Im getting very bored and antsy !! I want to CHEW !! need some ideas. Thanks

Love it !!!!

Im a week and a half out, and it seems that I do not have to sip any more, I don't take huge gulps, but enough to satifiy.

One of my Best Friends (THank you Michele) gave me this book about a week before surgery, I LOVE it !! It was the first this I sat down with after surgery also..

When I was in the hospital and acouple of days after I was really 2nd guessing myself, but as the days have gone on it has gotten alot better.

I I did not have a pain pump, but they sent me home with a liquid pain medicine, I stopped taking it after the 4th day also. Im still having burping issiues after I drink any thing, even with small sips !!I do agree, that every day it is getting better. The TYJ I got from a facebook page, they have great inspirational sayings, and I really think it helped me alot with this journey of mine, I actually got it tattoo'd on my right inner arm !! Best of luck to you also.
