I was sleeved on March 21st 2016. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

KristenLe, thanks. I can usually get more of those down than clear Water. It's a struggle. Maybe I'm too anxious. I wanted to have lost at least 50 pounds by now but maybe that's too much. My supervisor had her sleeve done on December 31st 2015 and she's currently lost 103 pounds. She is a lot heavier than I am. I wonder is that the reason she's losing more faster. What do you think?

I wonder what is the difference in the days. I will try that. I wonder if I'm not eating enough or too much right now. My daily food intake usually consists of 2-30gram Premiere Protein drinks, about 4 oz. of Soup, some crackers or pretzels since they are low fat, 3oz. of cottage cheese and maybe 2 bottles of Water. What do you think? Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

I thank you for your words. I get so disappointed each Monday morning when I weigh myself and it is either a one pound drop or none at all. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

PinkyPearly1908, I to am glad to know that someone is feeling what I'm feeling at this time after being sleeved. I have a hard time getting a lot of Water in each day. It seems, from other posts, that water is essential for weight loss with the sleeve. I just need to sit under a waterfall with my mouth open I guess! Lol! It's so hard. Do you think that using crystal light or other sugar free drink mixes in your water is the same as clear water? Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

How often did you experience stalls? Collectively, with the 2 week pre-op, all liquid diet and after surgery, I've only lost 35 pounds. I'm one month and one week post op. I feel that I should be losing more. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Did you go through a lot of stalls? How did you work your nutrition plan? I need help. I'm one month in and I'm currently experiencing my 3 week stall and it's frustrating. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on the same day. I lost a total of 34 pounds and I've been at a stall for 3 weeks. It does get very frustrating. Reading the other responses are giving me some encouragement. I'm hoping I didn't have this surgery for nothing. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Proud2BMe, thank you. That really helps. I've only lost 1 pound this week. My scale either says I lost it or I gained it back. It keeps fluctuating. I'm not getting in a lot of calories but I'm trying to get them in.its difficult because I get full so quick now. Which is good and I am not complaining.

Thank you also KristenLe.I'm getting better with my liquids but not quite there yet. I get one Protein drink in per day (Premier Protein w/ 30 grams of protein). I gotta do better! Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you, Proud2BMe. Its really hard to eat a lot more than that. I gues as time goes on, I can tolerate more food. Do you know approximately how much time goes by before you lose weight again? Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on March 21, 2016. I started losing weight (20 lbs before surgery) pretty quickly each week. Of course I was super excited. Now in the past week, I only lost one pound. I'm barely eating (maybe 450 calories per day total. Do you think that my sleeve procedure isn't going to work for me? Has anyone else experienced this and began to loose weight again?

Are you really gaseous? I want to try them because I have issues with Protein drinks after surgery. I'm 2 weeks post op. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

On The Fence 2- Thanks for that. This really helps. This is my first day eating food. I will take it really slow right now. I REALLY have to get the hang of it. It feels like everything I try to eat stops mid-point between my chest. I hope that stops. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Try going to GNC and pick up son liquid B-12. It really helps. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

I meant SOFT FOODS NOT SOY foods! Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

I had my check up today. All is well. I've, since my surgery on March 21st, 2016, have lost 20 lbs. So far so good. She approved me for soy foods. I tried a little bit they're making me feel nauteous. How do you fight beyond that in order to start eating food? I feel better with Water but I cannot live in that alone. I tried to drink a Premier Protein drink on yesterday but it made me nauteous as well. Any suggestions or advice? **PLEASE RESPOND!!** Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Dr Colleen Kennedy in Plano at Baylor hospital. She's great! Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

She was my surgeon. She's great. I was sleeved on March 21, 2016. Still sore but each day gets better. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

I wanted to know if you can eat Cereal and milk after you've completed all phases and are eating regular foods? I'm asking because it's a rule not to eat and drink within the same timeframe. I love cereal and I just wanted to know if this is allowed. Thanks for any suggestions. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

THANK YOU ALL!!! Your responses have helped a lot. I can at least have an idea of how most people eat after they are allowed to. I'm just one week post-op so of course I'm gonna have several questions until I get the hang of it. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

I want to know what do most people eat after they return to regular food? How much do you eat (especially at restaurants)? Can you eventually eat popcorn and nuts again? Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Hey Ginger, hang in there. I just had my surgery 5 days ago. There is a support group in every 2nd Wednesday of each month at Baylor Plano @6pm main hospital lower level education centre. I will be attending. I feel for you in your situation. I hope as time goes on your husband will be more supportive. Let me know if this helps. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Premium Protein was good to me with 30 grams of protein and one gram of sugar. Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App
