I'm 1 month post op. I was just wondering from other's experiences, at what point did you start being able to eat "normal" food without it hurting or being super uncomfortable. I've been trying some lunch meat, salmon, and even buffalo wings and it really hurts. I know I may be pushing it a little early and that you should add things to make it a little softer (like light mayo to tuna). But, I'm just curious when my diet will be "normal" again without pain...like how many months post-op out were you?

For me rotisserie chicken goes down the easiest. More solid meats atm just fill me up instantly.

I was cleared for regular foods at 9 wks, and it started getting easier at around 12 wks. I'm now 5 months post op and have not found a food I have issues with.

I'm almost 2 years out and chicken is still the worst. Too dry. Moist and fatty meats are easier to eat

Good to know. Thanks

I'm two months out and I have my good days and bad. Still very uncomfortable for me to eat but I try. chicken doesn't go down well at all yet. Neither does deli turkey. Been ok with tuna but sometimes my pouch doesn't like it. It all depends

How far out are you?

I made the mistake of trying white meat chicken today. Really bad idea.

It took me 3 months or so, then I could eat normal food. I am not a very adventurous eater, but I have not had a single issue with any food.

3 months, easier at 6 months, easier at 9 months, and at 12 months, that is about as easy as it is going to get. I haven't noticed any difference after 12 months.

My scale didn't move AT ALL during week 3, I almost threw my scale away because I thought it was broken.

I'm in week 3 and the weight loss has slowed way down. Hoping to just power through this

I'm almost 3 weeks post op. I have lost about 21 lbs. since the day of my surgery. However, the past four or five days, I haven't lost any weight. Is it possible to have a weight loss stall this early? I get so worried and nervous that this isn't going to work now that I'm actually eating real food and not the liquid stage. Is a stall this early normal?

I am hitting week 3 and only lost 10 lbs so I am also losing slowly. I have read a lot about the 3 week stall so not really sure what's going to happen now. We all have to make sure we are getting in Protein and fluids and the rest will follow even if it's slower. Hang in there.

I had RNY and am just about 3 weeks post op. Lost 16lbs the first two weeks and nothing for the past week. It sucks being patient but everyone says this happens and to wait it out. Good luck. I hope your stall ends soon!

The three week stall.... it happens to almost everyone keep you head up, and your yogurt down!

Yup. Same happened to me. Don't be discouraged! Your body is trying to adjust. The weight will start falling off after this. Just stick to the plan, drink Water, take the Vitamins. Good luck!

I was heavy before pre-op..... I weighed 488. I dropped to 467 after pre-op, and weighed in at 430 today.

It happens to almost everyone. Google "three week stall."

I've lost 10 lbs the past week and counting, had lost 27 before that week

I had the same problem, I'll give a link to the info im about to give, but you hit a stall because your body isn't getting enough calories yet. So, your body starts storing rather than burning because it goes into starvation mode. I'm a month and 2 days out, I have been losing weight like crazy this past week because I'm starting to hit between 1000 and 1200 calories a day. https://www.mexicobariatriccenter.com/not-losing-weight-after-gastric-sleeve-surgery/
