I am in exactly the same boat I was sleeved on 12/30/2015. I have gained back 15 lbs and I am so unhappy about it . I still log my foods and walk regularly

Your underwear fall down when walking the dog .. haha

I had my surgery 12/30 and I also struggled with constipation too. I start my morning with a teaspoon of the CVS brand Benefiber in my coffee or water . It usually gets things moving along if it doesn't and things got real bad I would take a dulcolax. I hope this helps .

You look wonderful !

The chocolate peanut butter is great .

My surgery was December 30th at 7am . I was released January 1 . So 3 days total .

I am one month out and curious to see what some of you on here are eating to get some ideas .

I hated all the Isopure drinks they have a weird taste . I tried the Mocha Click protein powder its really good it tastes like iced coffee .

I am one month out and I lost 21 lbs so far . My surgery was 12/30 and i couldn't be happier I have never lost so much weight in a month . I wouldn't worry if I were you everyone is different .

I have been having the same issue the scale just hasn't been moving . I was sleeved on 12/30 I have lost 16 lbs and I am following the plan to a tee . I hope I start losing soon .????

I went out and spent so much money on Pajama's , a robe , gas x strips , Biotine mouth spray , etc . And you know what? I didn't use anything I was so doped up on morphine and I was so sore I stayed in my hospital gown for 48 hours . The hospital gave me those little sponges with water to keep my mouth moist .All I used was the lip balm and my toothbrush and my change of clothes to go home .

I had my surgery on 12/30 the first week I lost 12 lbs . Now the scale is barely moving I know I am doing everything right but I can't help feeling I should be losing more .

Here's what I had sugar free Popsicles ( these were a life saver), sugar free jello ,broth , decaf tea and I loved the premier vanilla protein shakes from Costco they went down the easiest . Hope this helps .

Thank you @@Sherry W what you wrote makes perfect sense . Thank god for this site it's so nice to have other people to talk to that are going through the sam thing as myself !

@@oatmealgirl Thank you so much for responding to my post what you mentioned makes perfect sense . I will try and drink more Water and make sure I get my Protein in . I am sure next month things will be different after my body adjusts to this new way of eating . I am so impatient

@@JennAlex Soup and more soup has been the easiest for me to digest. I tried a scrambled egg it just didn't sit well same thing with Tuna . I stuck to broths , applesauce , yogurt , ricotta bake , jello and sugar free pudding . it's definitely trial and error :]

I am feeling a little frustrated I have followed everything to a Tee and I haven't lost an ounce since 3 days after i came home from the hospital. I had surgery 13 days ago . Has anyone experienced this ? I am now on my last day of puree. I didn't expect a weight loss slow done so soon.

It's very hard to sit and watch my family eat a nice dinner while i am measuring out my 2ounces of mushy soups. I am eating the refried beans and ricotta bake now , they are both delicious but heavy . I even had a bit of a scrambled egg this morning I am lucky if I got down 2 teaspoons before feeling full. All in all the sleeve is working I lost more weight last week then this week but I kind of figured that would happen . This has definitely been a hard journey but I don't regret it one bit it's going to pay off in the end .

I had my 1 week post op with my surgeon today . I am down 12 lbs since surgery 12/30 and I am right where I should be according to her so I feel better now ????

Thank you Karenir it gives me some good ideas for protein for sure !!

I had coffee five days later and I am fine with it . I have been getting small with skim milk and sweet n low .

I had my surgery 12/30 and I am now 8 days post op . I have been getting all my liquids in and have began the puree faze I am able to eat maybe 2oz at a meal. I am doing 2 Protein shakes and staying hydrated . I am just worried if i am getting enough protein I cant drink anymore then 2 Protein Shakes a day . Does anyone have any good suggestions for me ?

Hi everyone, I am almost 1 week post op and was wondering has anyone tried a cup of coffee yet? Today is my last day of the full liquid diet?

@@bellabill I am having the same issue with the incision where they took my stomach out . It hurts !

Hi Everyone, I have not had a chance till post till now and I hope you all are well after your surgeries. I am 5 days post op and I am still sore when I move especially around the large incision where they removed my stomach . I don't have nausea and I am tolerating liquids pretty well . Hows everyone else doing ?
