I'm 2 weeks post op and just got the clearance to try eggs. I scrambled 1 egg with some cheddar cheese and it came out real moist. I've gotten it down with no problem so far. Try the cheese. That seems to help. Or a little teaspoon of salsa to make it moist.

I am 2 weeks post op today and just went to my appointment with the surgeon. They said I am doing great and everything looks good! I am down 27 lbs total. They said they expect you to have lost 30% of your excess weight by 3 months post op and I am already at 19%. I'm advancing my diet now. Couldn't be happier right now!

Ricotta with marinara drizzled on top. Heaven!

I'm an ER nurse so I will be out at least 4 weeks. There is no light duty in my job!

I'm 12 days post op. Lost 8 lbs the first few days after surgery and then nothing since. Then yesterday I actually gained 2 lbs. I don't understand! I think my body is in shock. I decided to stop weighing myself. I'm on only liquids. My clothes are loose as I lost 18 lbs the two weeks pre op. I go to the dr on Tuesday so I guess I will see then but I am very frustrated right now.

Hi. I am new here. I've been reading for weeks but this is my first post. I had my sleeve on 9/30. Today is day 10 post op. I lost 8 lbs last week right away. The last several days I have not lost anything. I'm on full liquids. I'm getting about 60 g Protein a day on average and maybe about 400 calories. I don't know if my body is in starvation mode or if this is normal. I lost 18 lbs during pre op so I'm a total of 26 lbs down. I know that is good but I don't know why the scale has stopped moving. I'm thinking maybe I need to stop weighing myself!

Thank you Jamie. That sounds like what's happening with me. I just got off the phone with my dietician. She said that it sounds like I am doing great. She said that 8 lbs the first week after surgery is a lot. I feel better now. I asked about adding to my diet but she said not until the 14 day mark so 4 more days!

I have been a slow loser every since I had the surgery. But that is OK. I am on plan eating 800 -900 calories a day and exercising. I don't want to compare to others because we are all different and our bodies respond differently.... Based on many factors. Age, male vs female, overall weight loss required, height, etc etc. I see it if I have not gained this week I am a success! Ha. Steady eddy as they say. I have eventually reached my goals along the way and have not set time limits on when I should get there. First - one-derland. Met that goal. Next reach my low weight that I achieved on my last diet. Met that goal. Next lose 50 lbs. very close to that one (I am at 49 today). Next goal will be to get in a size 10. Have not seen those jeans in YEARs. I will eventually reach my final goal and go into maintanence. No idea when that will be, but yes! I WILL get there. All of us will if we stick with the plan! What a great gift this tool has been for me!

That's what I was thinking too. I'm still on liquids so not sure what more I can add yet. I can add some stuff on Tuesday though. Thanks!
