    Is it normal to hit a stall already after only 3 weeks??? Was losing good and then now the scale has not moved in almost a week. Lost 20lbs the first 2 weeks

    Yea I hit my first stall at 2 weeks and it lasted 3 weeks. The scale just started moving again SLOWLY! someone suggested u measure because losing inches isn't always synonymous with losing weight.. and they were right ???? stick to your plan!

    I have to start my Preop diet tomorrow and scared I am not going to be able to do it. Has anyone had any trouble doing the preop diet? What helped you with those struggles?

    I was so scared to fail! Honestly I just took it one day at a time..once I got the withdrawal headache I knew I was almost over the hump. I was on a liquid diet for my birthday and I just kept reminding myself that I was trading in 1 lousy birthday for a bunch of great ones. It will be over before u know it! Once u start to lose weight it will be easier to focus....YOU CAN DO THIS!

    Great job! I'm also 6wk post op and have lost only 16lbs..I'm trying not to get discouraged . Keep doing what your doing...start working out to tone up once you're cleared by your dr.

    Did you talk to the doc about what you are eating? That could make all the difference right there. I know when I went from liquids to soft food, I was still doing a few shakes a day. That got me to my Protein goals, but they don't stick with a person like real food does. Moving away from them to more solid forms of Protein helped me out quite a bit. Your situation may be completely different, but your doctor or nutritionist should have some good answers for you.

    I did an apparently eating clean gets u to your protein goal but not your caloric one. I was getting 80 g of protein at or about 700 calories..she wants me at 1200. I have decided to throw in a few extra items in my meal I just don't want to sacrifice protein for calories

    That's relieving to hear. I've had a c-section and I recovered quite well. I get sleeved on Dec. 5 and I'm nervous about the recovery. I will have to jump right back in to my routine. I have a 5 year old and a 1 year old.

    I will be 5 weeks out on Friday. I was allowed to eat pureed foods post op wk1 and soft foods week 2 & 3. I hit a stall on wk1..and now I'm stalled again...it's a bit discouraging considering people lose what I did in a wk vs my month????. I'm eating clean and supplementing with 1 shake a day to make goal. Usually along the lines of grilled chicken and steamed veggies. I can get about 2 oz of Protein and 1.5 oz per meal. Best of luck on your journey!

    Hey everyone! Today starts my pureed stage and I started with some egg salad. It went down fine but I'm not sure what feels full at this point so I took some baby spoons in and closed up shop till I see how it goes. I did notice I hiccuped and have read that could be a soft sign that I'm done. Will full feel the same as it used to or should I just heed the hiccup warning lol? I'm supposed to do 1 1/2 oz of Protein and 1 oz of fruit of vegetable for my first meal but I don't want to push it....any advice?

    What should I buy other than Protein Shakes to get me through this tough week ahead?

    I was told sugar free Jello and popsicle

    Most people do but my surgeon didn't allow those till the night before surgery since I was told only Breakfast and lunch shake that day then clear till midnight. Unlike most I was allowed full liquids as soon as I got home and pureed food starting day 8.

    Hey all! Well I was sleeved 10/21 even though I hoped for the best I expected the worst in terms of pain and all I've really delta with was the nausea from the anesthesia. I've been home since Saturday and the large incision feels tender but not painful. Yesterday I could barely get 30 oz of Water down but today has been better. I got 1 1/2 premier shakes down and 42oz of water..it's a struggle but I'm pushing through! How r u guys doing?

    Hello all! I'm scheduled for a VSG on 10/21 in Celebration FL. I just started my 2 week preop liquid diet. I was due to start 10/7 but hurricane Matthew threw a wrench in that so today was my first day. My only anxiety with the preop diet is that my birthday is on Tuesday and I have no idea how I'm going to get a candle to stand still in my shake ! It hasn't been terrible but knowing I have to stay away from all food is rough especially when we decided to go out to eat while wandering around. I did good and only had the small salad I'm allowed. I hope this gets easier . I could use any and all moral support I can get!
