Not Losing Weight
I'm in the same boat. Barely lost anything weeks 3 and 4. I think I need to eat more. Especially protein. Its hard! We will get through it!

Protein
ok. Get a piece foil. Spray it with Pam. Put the fish on foil. Oven preheated to 400. Cover the fish in salsa (any kind you like). Fold the foil over the fish creating a tent and seal it well so it can steam. bake for 17 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Its yummy!! Made it yesterday.

Soda
My doctor told me I can have soda after 6 weeks. There is no proven evidence that it stretches the pouch. I've researched it. The reason they don't want to drink pop is because it makes you crave sweets. I can't wait to have a diet pepsi!

One For The Ladies
Honestly yes I can tell the difference. For some reason before surgery everytime I started to do something (vacuum, dishes, changing diapers etc) I would have to pee so bad I would run to the bathroom. That doesn't happen anymore!!

I had 47 grams of protein today.

I am definitely not getting enough protein. I need to buy the protein powder bc I can't stand protein shakes anymore. Today I ate 354 calories and burned 383 calories. Shouldn't I be losing weight at that rate?

What Now
My dad used to be morbidly obese and lost the weight without surgery. Just 3 hours after my surgery he says to me "I didn't need surgery to lose weight. What's wrong with you?" Needless to say him and I don't get along. Never really did. I knew I needed the surgery and no one was changing my mind. Do what you know is right for you.

5 weeks. I'm down 24 lbs but 21 of them were the result of my 2 weeks of liquids after surgery.

I'm eating all the right things and exercising. My weight is coming off slow! I look like I'm smaller but it's not showing on the scale. Depressing.

I'm the same way. I can eat mostly anything I want. Only sick once and that was bc I didn't chew well enough. I'm 5 weeks after surgery and I can pretty much drink normal sips of liquid. I'm always worried that I stretched my pouch. I guess we are just lucky!- Smoking
When did u try your first drink? I haven't had a drink in months.- 1 Month Post Op Pic
Looking good! - Oddball!
