I'm in the pureed food stage right now. I'm experiencing an upset stomach. Anyone else having a hard time adjusting to moving from liquids to pureed foods? I feel sick to my stomach most of the day now.

It looks like the stall is going to become a normal part of this new lifestyle. I just wish my dietitian had told me about stalls or my doctor. It's great to have this forum to discuss with everyone. I was told to just walk 15 minutes a day for right now and then work up, but it looks like from other's post that I definitely can be getting in more walking which I'm going to start doing right away.
Thanks for the great info everyone! Look forward to learning more with all of you on our new journey's

I had my operation on June 26th. I would love to have others to talk with about my journey that were close to my same date. I'm in the pureed food stage right now. My first 2 weeks I lost a lot of weight really fast and now I'm in a stall, but I can tell I'm still loosing inches. I'm finding that I get full so fast and I'm not able to eat much and them I'm hungry again not far after I had eaten. I'm having a hard time getting all my liquids in and trying to get my Protein in as well.
I have fibromyalsia and since this surgery I've felt the best I have in a over a year. Tons of energy, my nerve pain is now only about 20%. With so much energy I'm finding that I'm struggling going to sleep at night.
My sense of smell ever since the surgery has been very heightened not sure why though.
Looking forward to journey!!!

I would be interested in a private group. Only my husband knows I've had this procedure.

I'm so glad to see others experiencing a weight loss stall so soon after surgery! My surgery date was June 23 (2 weeks + 5 days ago), and I quickly lost 15 lbs. in the first 2 weeks post-op. Since going on the pureed diet 6 days ago, however, I have only lost 1 lb. I don't understand it. I am eating so little (2-3 powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein supplements a day for about 50 grams of Protein daily + some fruit & cooked veggies). I've tried meat (baked a chicken and pureed it with chicken broth), but I'm uncomfortably full after 1 - 2 tablespoons. I also made black bean Soup with some pork shoulder (delicious), and I can only get about 2-3 tablespoons down before feeling very full for hours. I can drink 1/2 cup of milk in about 15 minutes, however. That probably means the meat mixtures I've made aren't thin enough. I'm going to mix them into the Healthwise protein Soup mixes and see if that makes it easier to get some meat down.
So, my question is, have we stalled because we're not getting in enough protein?

Sleeved June 9th. I find I am hungry more often as well which if you think about is good. I always hear to eat 6 small meals a day.

I'm June 17th. Since June 26 I have been stalled. Lost 20 since pre-op and was thrilled but not a pound since the 26th. I drink just fine. I get in 60 gm Protein before I think about meals. Also on soft foods and able to eat very little. I'm trying to walk 30 minutes a day. I am upset but I know it has to end soon.
I would love to keep up with June sleevers. Please keep posting.

I had to check the name on this post to make sure I didn't write it skerstad as your experience is mirroring my own!!! I was sleeved on June 27th and have just started pureed foods yesterday, I am having a little trouble eating slow and getting enough Fluid...I too noticed that my aches and pains have diminished and I am wondering if this is from the lack of gluten in my diet? Best of luck to you, keep me posted with your progress!!

I had my sleeve done on June 30. My sense of smell is out of control. It was my first pregnancy symptom so my husband keeps freaking out, but I am certain it is from the surgery somehow. I am very glad that you're feeling better with your other health conditions. I feel really good, but I tire easily, so I have decided to take another week off work. I have been walking 4 miles a day; I'm slower than I was before, mostly because I'm afraid of overdoing it.
Take care!
