Hi ! I've been reading these forums for months but haven't posted until now . I was sleeved July 12 th also and doing well but I have hit a stall this week and actually gained a pound this am and it's depressing me . I've lost 11 lbs since 7/12 ( well ... Now 10) ... And I really concentrated on getting all my Fluid in yesterday . I struggle to either get all the Protein in( mostly shakes) OR all the Fluid in . It's time consuming !!!

And yes ... I could have gone back to work today or Monday but took another week off just because I have a busy job that I know will make it hard to get fluid in .

Just wondering how you all are doing with weight loss 2 weeks out ?

Ps to those struggling with soft food . I started with thin retried beens and cheese and it was fine . eggs don't sit well . Split pea Soup was good .. Thicker than others .

I had my bypass 7/19. And i have hit a stall with my weight also. I have been told that this is usual and to just hang on. My own vomits have come when i have broken a rule. Just had shake too fast to meet Protein goal before bed. Now gut is misable so i cant sleep. Ugh just tired of the boredom at home for 2 weeks with 1 more to go.

Hello July Sleevers,

I had my chest xray and upper GI done..... drinking barium is worth 62 calories... lol!

So you know, Drink lots of Water after these tests are done. You will become constipated after having drunk only a few ounces of the barium Fluid, It sits in your stomach all day and feels like a heavy rock. You do lose your appetite but it takes a few days to be "regular" again.

EKG and preop are next while I'm on the liquid diet. Now this part really scares me. I'm not pleasant to be around when I'm "HANGRY" (hungry and angry)

My family is being very supportive and I appreciate that. I only hope I can keep my senses while I'm liquid dieting for 2 weeks.

P.S. I lost my surgery folder when I hid it from Mom, and I need to get a new one for all my surgery preop and postop information. *SIGH*

Hang tight. My husband tells me i need to go take a nap when i get that way.
