I was cleared to start purée diet on Jan 13th 🥳
I did a weight check in today and I am down 8.4 pounds from surgery day weight!

This liquid diet has been quiet a struggle for me.

You’re doing amazing I am 2 weeks out and 9.8 pounds down as of today. I started purée today! I made egg salad and I am making taco Soup. They will both last me all week. I will be doing refried Beans and cheese, ricotta bake, and chicken salad next week.

That is so awesome! My surgery was 12/30. I’m having a hard time meeting my goals 😖😖

I had mine on 12/9 and down 30lbs! I’m walking close to mile and a half a day. Now I can’t wait till I can have raw veggies as I am craving salads so bad lol!

I'm 4 weeks out today and have been at 23lbs down for the last week or so, really fluctuating with a pound less. I hate how this messes with my head lol like you feel like it's not enough but realistically it's more than I would've done on my own lol I keep trying to tell myself this.
I do need to work on getting more Water in, I've gotten a lot better at getting my Protein in but I don't think I'm getting enough calories either.
I want to start working out. I bought some weights and have an elliptical..just gotta use it lol

edit to add: What are you guys eating at the stages you're in? How may calories? I'm on my 2nd week of purees; I've had scrambled eggs, tuna, refried Beans and homemade guacamole so far. I don't have an actual schedule to follow on how I eat though. I "feel" hungry often but get full so fast. I see my dietician for the 1st time post op on February 11th.

As far as loose skin, I feel pretty lucky, mine is super minimal. I’m pretty sure with a little exercise I won’t have any.

I was sleeved on 12/11/19 weighed myself yesterday...down 25lbs. I was stalled out at 17lbs down for 2 weeks(frustrating indeed) but I realized that I wasn't drinking enough Water (thanks for the reminder Constipation!). This past week I really focused on getting 60-70 oz of water in addition to my 60 grams of Protein. I was released to full activity on this past Thursday, so I will see what exercising will add to the scale moving more.

I had sleeve 12/31 down 16 pounds since surgery. I am praying that I get cleared for puree at my 2 week appointment, I'm so over only liquid.

I had surgery Dec. 23rd and have lost 25 pounds in the last 2 weeks, For this week I haven’t lost any weight which is fine. My doctor told me I can try 1 ounce soft chicken, eggs things like that and after having 1 ounce of it , I’m still so hungry and don’t feel full at all ....

That is so awesome! My surgery was 12/30. I’m having a hard time meeting my goals 😖😖

Sleeved on 12/31, weighed myself on Wednesday and have lost 10 lbs. I'm finding a successful routine with my liquids and managing to get to 60ish grams on the Protein. I feel like I've drank more liquid in the last week than in the last year! I'm on liquids for a total of three weeks before moving to the glorious puree stage!

37 days 35 lbs

On Monday I'll hit 6 weeks out of surgery and have lost 32ish lbs. I'm on my cycle now, so I'm guessing that's why I haven't lost so much this week lol

I was sleeved 12/12/19, I weighed myself today, I have lost 27lbs total since surgery day. Whoot whoot !!! That is damn near a pound a day. I have been mainly focusing on fluids/protein shakes. I can only eat about an a ounce of food at a time. Try to do this three times a day. I have decided to go to a plant based diet to maintain my weight loss. This surgery has drastically opened my eyes to a new way of thinking.

Are you eating enough? I heard people talk about a stall 2-5 weeks out, I’m sure it will pass soon! Just keep it up!!

it will get better, as soon as you go on soft/solid. you will feel full.

The hardest part is remembering to sip Water. For me mainly the mental part of not being able to eat like a regular portioned plate. I was a very fast eater before and drank so much drink during meal time. Separating the two was a real struggle. The gas pain after surgery is probably the worst part in that aspect.

Thanks for your feedback. What has been the hardest part? How was the pain after surgery?

I have BCBS and I had to do the 6 months. They did say they have to give a decision within a 15 day period of receiving the paperwork from your doctor. In all honesty, I would not have been ready for this if i didn’t go through the 6 months of preparing myself. I am a week and half post op and it’s very hard even with the long preparation. I would suggest giving yourself a few months to prepare before going into surgery. However, do what’s best for you, you know your body and your mindset!

You are off to a great start then! So, at some point you will slow down/stall.... but if you stick to the prescribed plan then you will overcome the slow down/stall and start making progress again. Just try not to stress over the scale too much. Even when I stall, I am shrinking somewhere.

Good news for you the hard part is over.
First night is uncomfortable. I had that too. I was getting dilaudid along with steady doses of pain pills first night. I didn't get much sleep that night due to waking up for more pain meds.
Next day nurse took me for a slow paced half lap around the ward. Felt so good to move a little we did another full lap. I was ancy to get dressed and go home after that!
Once I was home, pain was easily managed by scheduled doses of pain meds. By Day 4, I only took them when I felt pain coming back. Make sure you have at least 4-5 days of pain meds when you get discharged and MAKE THEM LAST. You may or may not need them all. I was pain pill free before end of first week.

The calmer you are the better. I have now had several surgeries, the best piece of advice anyone ever gave me is that if anything happens you will never know. So just relax and go with the flow.....
