. My dr said to not eat mashed potatoes because of all the carbs!! They are pretty much empty calories...try mashed cauliflower instead!!

Yes!!! I puréed everything!! Just have to make sure you use enough liquid/broth so it is not to thick!

Yes my thyroid has been checked and is fine. As to watching what I eat...I don't eat bread. And rarely ever eat rice or pasta. I snack on fresh fruit and veggies and eat my protein first at meals which normally fills me up. ( but I am lucky if it is even 4 oz). I know that muscle weighs more then fat. And my clothes are not getting tighter which is a good thing! Just freaking over the weight gain when I have not even met my goal!

So I was sleeved in July 2014, and lost 70 pounds in 5 months!!! Then it stopped...it has been 10 months since I have lost anything. What's worse is I have gained 10 pounds! Now in July this year I saw my surgeon and we discussed my weight and he said to up my exercise and I have....work out at a gym now with a trainer 3-4 days a week....I am very careful as to what I eat. I guess my question is has this happened to anyone else?? My surgeon did tell me that if in 6 months there is still no change he would do the bypass revision...just scared to have another surgery...

I was pain med free and doing great 5 days after surgery. And 2 weeks after my surgery had to take my son back to college which is a 4 hour drive one way and did fine. But not everyone recoups the same. I definitely didn't expect to be doing as well as I was that soon after.

That is what I am thinking... That the sleeve didn't like the egg salad....which kinda sucks cuz I really like egg salad!!!

Started loosing my hair also but I get my protein in daily, and take biotin along with my daily vitamin. I have tons of new hair growth now and have stopped losing completely. Oh and it started around the 5 month mark for me and I am almost at 9 months now

I actually would take a small piece of chicken the my husband cooked and purée it with chicken broth....I also puréed cooked carrots with onions to go with it! Granted I only ate maybe a tablespoon or two of both but it was good!!

I know the eggs were fine...my husband ate it also and had no problems. And I eat a scrambled egg with no problem. This just took me by surprise because it last for 3 hours!

I am almost 7 months post-op and decided to try egg salad today for the fist time...minus the bread of course!!! I have been cramping for over 2 hours now and am gurgling like crazy!!! Has this happened to anyone else?? All I know is I won't be eating that again!!!

The one on the left was taken July 27 the day before my surgery the right side one is 6 months later!

I am almost 7 months post op and I still get gurgles and uncomfortable feelings in my stomach after I eat...no idea what is causing it, it just happens.

I started out with a powder but am now using premier protein. Just got to where I could not drink the powder shakes anymore!

The weird thing is I drink lots of water every day (4-6 cups a day!) I don't do salt and I am really careful with my diet. Not sure why I got them as I never had them before. And I had my gall bladder taken out years ago so I am glad I don't have that to worry about!

So I had an unexpected visit to the er today and was told I have kidney stones! I had my surgery July 28, 2014 and this has taken me by surprise! Has anyone else had an issue with this??

Has anyone else had their weight go up and down a lot? I am 14 wks post op and the past 3-4 weeks my weight has been fluctuating. I know that the scale is not something I should be on all the time but I can't help myself. I do exercise and am eating 900-1000 calories a day, but my weight sees to be staying the same and it is getting very frustrating.

Live in biloxi and was sleeved on 7/28/14....and in a major stall...it is starting to really get me down but I just saw my dr and he said give it a couple more weeks and if nothing changes to call him. But what can he do?

I am just about at my 12 week mark, surgery was July 28th. I have been In a stall for the past 2 weeks and now I have gained back 5 pounds! I eat almost nothing and exercise (walk) 3-4 days a week on top of working 2 jobs! I know it's gonna take time but I am losing faith in this.

Thank you!!! I have been in a stall and it is driving me nuts!!! Just hoping it ends soon! I was sleeved on July 28th and have lost 57 lbs so far...I guess my expectations are greater then they should be! Lol
