I just quit the crackers too so hopefully that will break my stall

My doctor said I could have crackers as long as they have e grams of Fiber. I am also stalled so I am wondering if I should cut that out

A good stool softener is a must. I take 1 everyday since I have to take Iron in addition to my multi Vitamin

I am eating eggs, cheese, chicken, tuna, wheat thins, laughing cow soft cheese, Beans and banana

I am experiencing the same thing right now. Some things I feel the restriction like meat or Beans. Other foods not so much like cheese or fruit. I am almost 5 weeks out and I am still under 1000 calories a day. I am making sure to get plenty of fluids in to make sure the hunger isn't thirst and making sure to pick Protein packed foods since the seem to fill me up longer. Its such a trial and error.

I am taking full 8 weeks off.

22 pounds

I started eating pureed foods because shakes were hard for me too. My but said it was fine as long as I was meeting my Protein and fluid goals.< /p>

I have been having my coffee Protein Shake since I got home from the hospital. Just make sure you get your fluids in and you should be fine.

I am 4 weeks out and I get on average 800 to 1000 calories a day. I shoot for over 70 grams of Protein a day. I watch the carbs and sugar. The amount I get varies. As long as I am getting in more protein and still losing I am not worrying too much. My surgeon actually recommends at this stage under 800 calories. I basically eat when I am hungry, making sure I am well hydrated. I track everything in my fitness pal. I figure this process is not a sprint but more of an endurance run. Meaning I have to live the rest of my life on a plan that works for me that allows me to get to goal. Of eating more carbs some days helps me not be tempted by sugar or other treats I would have eaten in the past then I am cool with it. I was 277 day of surgery and am 256 now a few days before my 4 week mark

For me liquids have been hard too. Water tastes bad to me. Doctor said it happens to some people and it will go away. I try to keep water with crystal light by my side. I set my phone alarm to go off every 15 minutes and then pour water on a one ounce little shot glass. That has helped

Heavyb me too. The shakes aren't really cutting it for me. I was sleeved the 8th so almost 2 weeks

Marcemonster, don't worry. I know it's easier said than done. I just met with my NUT today and she said that the body goes through major metabolic and hormonal changes especially in the first 3 months. Just make sure you are reaching your Fluid goal and Protein goal everyday. I know it's hard because we want to see that scale move but you will soon!

Hey there! I am a June 8th sleeved as well. Its going good. I have found that getting Water down has been the hardest, still not teaching water or Protein goals yet. Pain is much better. Almost gone now. I have to really watch making sure to put my food into small portions otherwise the temtation to eat too much is there. Something I will always have to be mindful of.not feeling hungry but my stomach does growl too. It's funny. I can tell I have lost but have not weighed myself yet. Some think it's crazy but I want to be surprised at my 2 week check up to get my staples removed next week.

I am not as far out as you post op but I have to measure my food out or I am tempted to eat too much, also flavors of food have been amplified so everything's tastes so good. I have to eat a little and then sit there for a bit then eat again

Thanks for the tips on quitting the sugar free stuff, I stopped it today and it's been so much better

Congratulations! Don't be surprised if the pain level fluctuates a bit. The Fluid, gas and everything starts to set in a girl just walk as much as you can. Good luck to you
