Habsi its week 4 for the group. I'm on the 30th but I still weigh on Mondays. In a month or so a few days difference from surgery won't matter :-)
I'll check out those Vitamins. I got gummies but for now I want to stay super low sugar to try to keep losing and stay in ketosis.

How is everyone doing?? I just sent a cup of broccoli cheese Soup through the nutrabullet for dinner. Just 2 more nights of liquids and I can have some puree... I see Beans, chili and sweet potatoes . I hear egg salad is actually quite good purreed. And I have some canned chicken so I might try some chicken salad too. I have to do puree while in Vegas, will be a challenge.
Whats everyone eating?
I didn't update weights and names because everyone was weighing all over the place. LOL If we can do day of surgery weight update from weigh in MONDAY that would be great, it will be easier to see where everyone is. AND I want to tally how many pounds we lost as a group!! How long until you think it will take us to reach 1000?? I bet we are already over 200!
So when you get up tomorrow morning, go to the bathroom then weigh! Hopefully we can get a good tally

We are in the same boat. I'm I down 12 lbs since the 29th. I had a 5 day stall. It's moved slightly the last few days. Ounces still matter. This is when I would of thrown in the towel before cause it didn't seem worth it. I'm glad this took is here to support me.

Hi all! MOVING TO WEEK 3 THREAD!

Whenever you feel up to it and no circus performance. 4 days here. No reason to wait if you have the urge ...
8 weeks ... Sheesh!

Wow I like your doctors! Lol mine told us to wait 5-6 weeks. I think he's nuts.. but 1-2 weeks sounds a lot more reasonable!

I'm on a stall still also. It's been 4 days and scale is stuck. I get so excited to get out of bed. I run to the bathroom, hop on the scale and impatiently wait a second and nothing. Tomorrow I will do the same. Scale please wake up.

Hey I'm here. I had a very rough first 2 days. I'm good now just exhausted.. Just been so Bleh these past few days. But doing good. And catching back up with everyone. Down 14lbs as of today. Getting all my liquids in and protein almost.
Hope everyone else is doing good. :-)

Hrhlaurie - try some unsweetened applesauce or pure pear juice. Helped me !!!!

So was at church today and took the bread for sacrament and popped it into my mouth without even thinking! Then panicked! Ended up pretending to cough and putting it in a tissue. lol

I was given the below time line by my NUT for the max amounts you should be eating. My surgery is not until July 24 so I can't comment how accurate it is.
3 months - 1/4 C.
6 months - 1/2 C.
9 months - 3/4 C.
1 year and beyond - never more than 1 Cup.

Hello everyone. I had my sleeve done on May 27th. I searched the internet for sleeve forums and I am so happy I found this one. I can't believe how great this surgery was. I am trying to get more Protein in, but the shakes are making me sick. Tuesday I go to my bariatric nutritionist and will be able to go to Stage 4 diet hopefully.

Thanks everyone for the quick replies. :-) new journey and sooooo grateful for y'all.

My doc was very clear in the beginning - measure your food and only eat the amount specified. I didn't feel restriction until about a month out. It's easy, especially in the mushy stage to over-eat. Once you start on the dense Proteins, you'll feel the restriction.

When you get back to eating full solids again, you will notice the restriction.

It's funny you say that because it took me at least 3 weeks before I started to feel full ( I'm in week 9 now) , the only thing I can say is that it will come and to eat slowly and good luck

I'm down 12 pounds since surgery to 238, and 32 pounds overall. My rings are loose but staying on my fingers so far. I had a couple tablespoons Peanut Butter and mashed banana but even though I eat tiny little bites, I'm eating them too fast and causing major stomach gurgles. I thought not drinking with meals would be the hardest thing to do but earing slower has jumped to the top of the list.
Here's a weird thing, my incisions have started itching the past few days but I expected that since they are healing. However, it's almost like the incision areas are going through some kind of allergic reaction. They're all red, but not like with an infection, but red and some reddish bumps and really itchyskin around the perimeter of the incisions. I don't have a fever or pain and no pus or any signs of infection, but almost like the skin is irritated. Guess I'll try to get in on Monday morning to have them checked out.
Went to Wendys with family today and weird that nothing sounds amazing to me. I ordered a grilled chicken wrap, opened it up and pulled a little bit of the chicken apart into little pieces and ate little bites of chicken and some of the cheese and was full pretty quick so I stopped. I thought the first meal of non-measured food, I thought I would have a hard time figuring out how much to eat. Thank goodness my tummy was ready to provide warning gurgles to warn me to stop!

Well two days and the scale hasn't moved. I'm not stressing cause I feel thinner but I'd really like to see those numbers change.

Thanks, good info. That gurgling does kind of sounds the way a drink does when poured through a funnel. I hate it when I forget to take a small drink and it backs up a bit.

Can you believe we all have tini-tiny stomachs now? What a week its been. Some have had remarkable painfree success and some have been downright miserable. At this stage everyone is in totally different places as far as food/liquid/nutrition. For those on Clear liquids for awhile longer, if you didn't know, Isopure makes a clear drink thats 40g Protein. Its sold at some GNC stores. Might help get some protein in while being kind to your new stomach.
I hope by the end of this week everyone is feeling fantastic!
Here is the run down! I have an idea, let me know what you guys think... What I can start doing next week after we all lose the excess surgery Fluid... so everyone can see easily how much everyone has lost, is each week we can weigh in Mondays and I can put it after your name on the new Tuesday thread. It would be great to be able to see how everyone is doing at a glance - ie (lylabelle -6). It will be fun the first few weeks when we will probably all be dropping really well (except week 3 is typically a stall). You guys can message your number to me if you want so we keep our thread clean and filled with tips, tricks, recipes, annoyances and NSVs! Let me know what you think. Love this group!

I'm sleeved. Had my surgery on Thursday at 3pm. Had a horrible first 2 days with shoulder pain. Today I woke up feeling great. Mild belly aching. No nausea and working on my Protein and liquid goals. Not every close but a little better each day. :-)
