It stinks. I'm 16 days post op and haven't lost a pound in 5 days. Is this my first stall? Its bringing up old memories of past diet attempts where nothibg worked and now I feel like I went to my last resort and its not working. I know it will and I will stay the course. I am visiting my sister this weekend and there are lots of e akks and activities on our itinerary so maybe that will push me through.

I am 16 days post op now and haven't lost a pound in 5 days, could this be my first stall already?

Don't beat yourself up if a scrambled egg is your cheat you have come miles.

Im 2 weeks out too and have been feeling depressed as well. I'm hoping its a passing feeling but I feel your pain. I just want to fast forward a few weeks or rewind a few weeks and never have gotten the surgery, even though I know it was the right choice. I feel stuck in limbo at this stage.

thank you! I'm feel pretty proud of myself.

I am exactly 2 weeks today and down 17lbs ???? on to puree foods. Went back to work yesterday, I'm a high school language teacher, it was a lon tv exhausting day but I am excited to start integrating my new bariatric life into normal life.

Agreed!! Mine came out yesterday, I feel like a new person

How many calories were people eating in the puree stage I am trying to stick to 3 meals but that doest bring me close to enough protein and under 400 calories. Is it okay to have my 3 meals and a protein shake thrown in to get my protein up?

About how many calories were you consuming in the puree dtage?

Congrats!!

I saw a recipe on pinterest for a ricotta cheese bake that I can't wait to try when I hit the puree stage

I have the same issue plus a pesky drain to deal with I was sleeved on the 14th. How soon after surgery were people able to return to normal activities like driving a car and less abdominal pain?

I am having my surgery tomorrow too I have to be the are 5:45 early start to my new life

I am having the same problem. It feels nice to hear my family and friends say that they think I am beautiful the way I am but at the end of the day I am not healthy the way that I am and at the end of the day I want to have a family and kids and spend the next 60+ years with my fiancé. I am also struggling with what to say to people but I guess I will let me surgery and new healthy lifestyle speak for itself as I am having my surgery this Tuesday the 14th.

I am having my surgery with Dr. Trivedi on Tuesday 10/14. Any words of advice? How are you all doing post op? I am a mixture of excitement and pure anxiety

I am having surgery on the 14th too in Albany NY

Visalus shake powder is so good

I am October 14th too. I am a mix of high anxiety and extreme excitement.
