How is everyone doing on the third week? I've moved onto the mushy food phase but honestly I'm not interested in food. I prefer my protein shakes. But I need a good protein powder. Any suggestions? I've lost 18lbs so far but my Dr said to expect a stall this week and next

I haven't had any burping. Are you using straws?

Thanks yall. Yes I've been constipated a lot. I have my 2 week appointment tomorrow so hopefully I'll get all my questions answered. Tmi but did anyone have any really sticky bms? I've had that since surgery

I'm drinking 2 protein shakes a day and probably getting in 50 ounces total

I'm 2 weeks post op tomorrow and have been majorly bloated these past few days. I don't think it's related to my cycle. What causes this? How can I relieve it? Thank you!!

Thank you for the links!

Please don't judge me or make harsh comments. I'm almost 2 weeks post op and have chewed and spit out some food I was desperately craving. Has anyone else done this? Did it slow your weight loss progress?

That's awesome!

How is everyone doing today? I have lost 16.5lbs total and went down a pant size.

Thanks for your advice. I worry that if I don't check in more often I might not stay on track.

Did the scale steady go down each day or would you go days at the same weight then have a sudden drop? I'm 9 days post sleeve and each day have seen a 1lb or 0.5lb loss every day. I wonder how long I can keep up that pace.

I've heard of vitamin b12 shots but have never gotten one. Sound I ask my Dr about that?

Atkins are the only ones I find decent tasting. I sound try some other ones. Good idea thanks!

What are you all doing go get protein in? The most I'm getting is 30g from 2 protein shakes but I'm doing pretty well with water. I was sleeved may 9th

How are yall doing and feeling? How much weight have you lost so far? I'm down 14lbs. Start weight 273lbs.

Hmm I'm not sure my protien goal. I'm going to check that out!

When did you reach your first weight loss stall? How did you break through it? How long was it? Any tips for avoiding plateaus? I'm 8 days post op

Thanks everyone. I've been walking bit slacking on the breathing thing. Why is it important?

Sorry for posting so much but you guys are so overwhelmingly helpful!! I'm in the 2 week post op liquid phase. I can tolerate protein drinks. Will I lose weight faster if I try to get in a few shakes a day vs plain water?

Thanks yall! Yes I'm super hungry but my Dr said it might be from acid reflux or just head hunger. I think it's actual hunger so I'm going to try to do better about taking my antacids and nausea med

I'm 4 days post op. Am I supposed to be crushing my pills I took before surgery such as antidepressants? I have been swallowing whole no problem but I just was thinking about it...

Sorry I don't know how to quote... what emotions are you feeling now after the surgery?

Thanks for the replies everyone. It's very encouraging. I think tonight I'll try taking my antinausea med and painkiller and see how it goes. What is the walking supposed to help with? It seems to give me gas pain in my shoulder when I walk for 10-20 mins

I am desperately in need of some encouragement please. My first weigh in at the consultation was 263. Surgery day it was 273. 4 days post op I'm back to where I started at 263. So theoretically good I lost 10lbs but I feel like I've lost nothing. I feel actual hunger. I hate veggies but I'd chow down on carrots and broccoli if I could. I'm freaked out that I made the wrong choice, that I'm not going to get to my goal weight and that I'll never feel full again anyone else felt like this?

When should the hibger/cravings subside? I'm 3 days post op and I'm still hungry and craving junk food
