I've been stuck on the same weight for two weeks. I am 3 weeks out tomorrow. Week one I lost 12 lbs, but nothing since then. I am walking and watching what I eat, drink only water. Idk... I have a check up tomorrow. Hopefully they will shed some light on this.

I'm almost 3 weeks out and every time I eat tuna it makes me sick! I have never had problems with it pre-op, but after surgery it has always made me feel icky and gross.

Longview texas! Surgery date was sept 27, 2012. Starting weight 302, current 289.

That is happening to me also. My surgery was sept 27th, and I lost 12 lbs the first week out. I have now gone an entire week without losing anything, and I gained a pound. Don't know what's going on but I hope it passes soon! Today my surgeon has started me on "sensible" solids. So I can have chicken, turkey, cheeses, and other basic foods just no high sugar and fat. Scares me because I've been on liquids and stalled and now I have to start eating more food.

This happens to me also! It's crazy gross.

Chili is something I do also. Wolf and hormel both have 99% fat free chili and it is 24g of protein per serving. I add a little cheese and fat free sour cream, it's been the yummiest. Also, fat free refried beans with guacamole, salsa and sour cream. Tastes like a burrito!

At first it was a little rough. I stuck to broth and pudding despite him telling me I could eat other things. Jello was extremely hard for me, i threw it up anytime i Attempted to eat it. After a week I started mashed potatoes, turkey chili (puréed thinly), and eggs. Eggs have been kinda difficult to digest, but nothing has hurt when I eat it. I just found it odd that I could go back to normal foods after two weeks. Normal being chicken, tuna, cheese, etc. Every other diet I see, it says to wait 4 to 6 weeks after surgery for that. Occasionally I will take too big of a drink and it feels like I swallowed a golf ball lol.

My mother had the sleeve a year ago, she is 100 lbs down now. It worked best for her because she was on arthritis medication an a lot of other stuff. Her start weight was around 250. I just had the bypass sept 27. I chose the bypass because it seemed that heavier people had more success with it, myself on surgery day I was 302 lbs. My recovery has been shockingly painless. The day of surgery I was able to walk and go to the bathroom. The only issue I had was nausea and gas. Nausea has subsided now and I can eat (mushy stuff) painlessly, and I don't have a problem with fluids.

How long was your soft food stage? I am almost two weeks out and my dr started me on mushy puréed food as soon as I got home from surgery. According to his diet I can start solids after my second week, which seems different than most plans I have seen. Is anyone else's diet similar?

Me too! I am early into this, my surgery was sept 27th. But I lost 18lbs the two weeks before surgery, 12 the first week, and now nothing for the past 4 days. It's discouraging I am not eating hardly anything other than yogurt and isopure and water but I am still not budging. I don't know of this is normal so early...
