@@SLEEVE life I having the same feeling as you!! I hope someone has a good answer for it. I have a doc appointment and that is my first question.

So far so good for me, but the issue I am having is that I I don't feel anything when I consume my liquid diet, I don't know if I am full or not and then I don't know if I have consumed enough. I don't know that I ever feel hungry but I know that in the past my binge times still effect me, which is in my head. I am looking forward to my purée diet next week starting the 8th, because this liquid diet is really getting to me and I want something with substance, more for the chewing aspect more than anything.

I hade Surgery on 12/21/15 and I am curious as to when to expect weight loss to slow down and be more consistent? I have had tremendous loss this week but I know it won't continue so I want to know when to change things up. I am doing light exercise and still on a liquid/runny food diet but I don't want to set myself up for failure. Can any of you veterans with experience help me out with this question?

@@Inner Surfer Girl how do I save you stall advice? This technology is new to me so I am learning as I go, but is there a way to save that post somewhere so it is easy to refer to when needed?

Thanks for the help ladies. I am embracing this entire experience and I know that there are going to be stalls now and again, I just wanted to make sure I was not expecting too much too soon. You guys are great have a wonderful day.

I am a 21st as well. I have a fairly decent routine of a spoonful of Greek low fat strawberry yogurt along with organic acia juice 1oz with 5oz of water mixed with it. I did try some runny cream of wheat but it expanded in my pouch and really hurt. I do have a protein fruity drink with 15 grams of protein in it that takes me most of the day to get down. Tastes great, I have cream soup for lunch and dinner runny mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes saved me at Christmas dinner. I drink about 24-30 oz of infused water throughout the day, so at this point things are good for me. I go in Wednesday for my post op appointment. I have been watching the scale but I need to stop that. I did not have a lot of pain, but I also have a high pain tolerance and I do not like to take any type of pain medication because I hate taking medications. I used my pump in the hospital 3 times while I was there, and that was mainly just to get rest because hospital bed is so uncomfortable. I work out in my elliptical for 30 minutes and do some squats and very low weight for arms. So far I have nothing but positive remarks for my surgery, best decision I ever made.

I don't know about the weight gain, I had my sleeve procedure done on 12/21/15 and been very successful with loss, so far. However today I had some cream of wheat and although the it was very runny with milk, I think it expanded in my stomach and that was a nice adventure. I think each time we are able to add food, our bodies react differently and maybe retain some water. If you have started to be more active your muscles may have taken on some water that will go away as soon as your glycogen stores have depleted as well. I hope you get it figured out. Keep us posted. I go in for my 1 week checkup on Wednesday as well.
