Yes I eat it nearly everyday

Sleeved on 6/2 HW 279 SW 262 CW 236 Soft pureed foods-very boring Can drink normally now doesn't hurt so easier to get fluids down

I have just viewed my test results on line and do not get to see my Surgeon until 7/10 They all look good apart from my Prealbumin which is 15 I read on line it shows poor nutrition and not enough protein intake-I am taking around 75gms of protein in my diet Has anybody's labs shown this?? What did you do?

You are indeed an inspiration-thank you for sharing

Tomorrow is my 1 month anniversary since I was sleeved Clothes feel loose Down about 25lbs Back to work yesterday Getting complements already! Explained my eating habits down to 6 small meals a day as recommended by a dietitian Mental health-feeling more positive about my self Did have 7 day stall

How do you load your before pictures?

Cannot stand that woman!

Looking good

I think your first stall makes you anxious because after years of failed diets, your insecurities return and you doubt yourself

I can't wait for eggs! Cant have a whole egg until week 8!!! I can have the white of the egg but I am holding out for 4 more weeks because I want it all

I can eat fat free refried beans in fact any beans

I love the smell of the food I am cooking for my family-especially meat!!! I kinda lust after tasty food but I know I can't have it! Nothing else drives me mad, just the delicious smell of meat, I don't want to cheat I just want to smell-I am 4 weeks monday past my surgery I never really ate a lot of meat pre-op and would enjoy more the salad, veg and potatoes. I don't have a problem cooking for my family, as normally I am working 5-6 days per week and don't have the time After this weekend I will be back at my full time crazy job, so cooking will become a luxury again.

I stalled at 3 weeks and as I am approaching my 4th I am still stalled-it is frustrating to stall so soon but after reading lots of posts on this web site a 3 week stall is normal. Just gotta push through!

Me too same weight for 4 days-but I can feel that I am slimmer and my clothes are all baggy!! So I am just carrying on and waiting patiently for the next few pounds to disappear off the scale

Unjury Chicken soup is lovely-I cannot tolerate protein shakes at all so was pleased to enjoy the protein soup

Cant wait until I am under the 200's! Well done

I am going back to work on monday, I took 4 weeks off and I am mentally preparing myself for my return. I do have a demanding job and travel a lot so today I am going out to buy little baggies for my supplements, a cool box for my water and food. Then I am going to pray that it is a quiet week especially as it is only a four day week

I am 3 weeks post surgery today and I am getting really bored with my food choices! I have made my food into every Soup known to mankind (feels like this anyway) and even though once I start eating the feeling of boredom goes away it causes me problems before hand if this makes any sense. I can't tolerate any food which is not pureed, plain yogurt or cottage cheese-or I feel horrible discomfort I cannot abide sweet food it has to be savory, I made myself a Protein drink with banana pureed last night and was only able to force it down because I needed the protein. Has anybody got any suggestions for what to do with Tuna, chicken or turkey? My surgeon has told me I will be on this diet for 12 weeks, so I have a lot of boredom to get through!!

June 2nd and down 22 lbs plus 18 lbs lost pre surgery for a total of 40lbs since April

Thank you everybody you have given me some great ideas

The problem I have is that my surgeon and NUT do not allow me very many options-no egg yolks, no salad dressings, no salsa No spicy foods

Very helpful thank you

I had to do three but I know it is quite common for 6 months

I found this site just recently post surgery-I really appreciate the advice and other 'sleevers stories' Thank you everybody for all the advice

Buy a scale at Bed bath and beyond I searched lots of stores before I actually found a scale
