I am a slow loser.HW was 292 SW was 259 on 2/2/15 and today I am 222. 37 lbs down from surgery and 70 from when I started this process. I went from a size 26 pants to a size 20 and 4xl shirt to a XL.

Super frustrated. I was sleeved on Feb 2nd and have been stalled for almost 3 weeks now. I lost 21 pounds in the first 2 weeks. I need to break this stall.

I had surgery on February 2nd and lost 21 pounds in the first 2 weeks which is amazing however since then my scale has not moved at all. It keeps stable between 238 & 239. I know that a stall is normal but it is driving me crazy and making me regret the surgery. I know the scale plays mind games so I only weigh myself once a week. Any advice how to deal with a stall emotionally?

She just said they (her and the surgeon)prefer we eat our food verus drinking our food.

Hi! I had my vsg on 2/2 and was given the ok to start soft food last week however I am not even coming close to 60 grams of Protein per day. My NUT wants us to get from food only and not Protein drinks but how? I have a call out to her but in the mean time I would love some suggestions from others. Thank you!

I was sleeved on Feb 2nd. I am doing ok and on soft foods but struggling to get anywhere close to 60g of protein in each day. I was in the hospital on Thursday due to inflammation of the lungs and all my levels were good. So my water intake has been good. I am so scared to eat more than a few bites. I hope it gets better. Oh, and it takes me 90 minutes to get a protein shake down.

Hi Everyone! I am 15 days post-op and feeling pretty good. I have one question I have tried taking tylenol by cutting up a tablet in to 4 pieces however it gives me a terrible stomach ache. What does everyone do for headaches or just body aches? Thank you for any suggestions!

My is week 1 & 2 full liquids: protein shakes, cream soups(no chunks) and yogurt Week 3-6: Soft foods Then i start adding in regular food. I am on week 2

I had surgery on Monday and was realeased from the hospital yesterday. Now today my stomach is makng terrible gas noises and i have bad diarrhea. When will it stop?

I am still at the hospital and wauting to check out. I think surgery went well i still have some gas pain and I am super swollen. How is everyone elae doing?

I hope everyone is doing well. My surgery is scheduled 10:45am with check in at 8:45am. I am super nervous. Anyone else nervous for Monday?

I havent had my surgery for my sleeve yet but anytime I have had surgery it screws with mine. Sometimes it makes it early or late or much longer than normal. But it is normal after surgery and it will eventually get normal again

I am scheduled for Feb 2nd. I am on a low carb high protein diet. I have 2-3 shakes a day and 1 meal of 3oz of protein and a 1/2 cup of veggies. The first week was really hard but this week has been a little better. Good luck to everyone!

Congrats! I am on my second week of liquids and i would say sugar free gum and crystal light have helped a lot.

My doctor requires them too and I cant stand them. I add some ice and PB2 or frozen strawberries. I am done with 1 week with one to go. They are really thick. Good luck!
