My liquid diet started on 7/26. I lost 15lbs . Surgery on 8/9 I have lost 7 slow loser but as long as it's steady I okay. I drink normal now and can tolerate everything just in moderation. Never had nausea. I have no regrets at this point , I needed this tool .

While this is working, it is upsettingly slow for this low BMI obese woman. Mid July was my surgery but I've barely lost 4 lbs so far in August only. It keeps going down by ounces each day, I am slowly getting my calories up to 700-800 (not always successful with that). I started Jillian Michaels workout app (on beginner). Getting my Protein. But it is just slow. About 1.5 lbs a week.

i know slow is good. I just need to be patient. I had this idea I'd be in a smaller size by Sept and maybe by Oct out of plus sizes. Ok, maybe not. I am shrinking, though more upper body than those wonderful lower body fat deposits that could keep a family alive through the winter! Attempting patience.

It's very frustrating! I lost 15 lb pre op diet. The scale is finally moving after 2weeks post op. Down 6 lbs since surgery. I am getting 70 grams of Protein and have gotten my calories up to about 700 was really getting upset last week trying to get my Water intake up now. Just stick with the program and tweak things till they work for you ! Good luck

Are you drinking enough?

I guess I will have to track my Fluid intake too. I have my food not liquids. We will see if that helps.

Hang in there, everyone talks a lot about the three week stall...don't get discouraged. I was sleeved on the 29th and I am trying to keep a positive outlook...I lost 15 lbs on the pre-op diet but since the surgery (3 weeks ago), I am down almost 10 lbs. Pre-surgery me never had luck losing 3 pounds a week and keeping it off - so I am trying to focus on that....but it is hard when you read about how weight is flying of people and wondering WTH is going on!!!!!

Keep at it

Oh man I know what you mean ! I only 4 lbs down since the surgery 12days ago. I lost 15 on the pre liquid diet as well.

On week 5 now and slowly starting to eat normal foods but I must say! After I eat.. I get SO tired! And can nap for 2 hours- isn't that bizarre?

I have the same problem ! Maybe we are over eating ?

August 9th. Sleeve

Wow I had my surgery same day and I have been eating scrambled eggs , cottage cheese, Beans, soft fruit, tuna, salmon with no problems ! I start mechanical foods Tuesday. I can almost drink normal too. Weird how everyones bodies are so different. Flip side is I have only lost 4 lbs since surgery. I get around 600 a day thinking I may be able to get them up to 800 this week .

Suppository.

I have only lost 2 lbs in 9 days ! It sucks. Waiting for the drop

I was sleeved on the 9th and same thing here . Glad I am not the only one !! Been racking my brain but trying not to get Discouraged . Try to tell myself to stay off the scale for a week . I not a light weight don't get it

Had my 1week check up today and was cleared for puree ! Had scrambled egg and cottage cheese for Breakfast it was awesome ! Still full though and it's almost dinner time

I have gotten my calories up to 400 5 days out. Just wondering where others are in their journey and how much you are getting in ??

I had my surgery Wednesday and I have been having squeezing in my pouch . This morning when I woke up and other times of the day it happens. Doesn't matter what I am doing or weather I am eating or not. Does anyone else experience this ? I have my 1 week check up tomorrow.

Are you keeping track of what you are eating ? High Protein low carb.. At any rate 60 lbs is fantastic, congrats.

Dumping is if you had Rny.. The pressure on your stomach bending over with the band on sounds more like it to me.

I was sleeves on the 9th and ended up getting me some milk of magnesia and haven't had any problems with my BM since !

Kasparles did you not gain any Water weight after surgery? Irregardless 17 lb in 10days is mind blowing ! Congrats

North Star has the best sugar free popsicles ! They aren't icy. Not sure how else to explain them

Oops 2 different things.. I thought he said Biotin not biotene

Isn't Biotin for hair ?

I gained 4 lbs in the hospital. Have seen some gain 10 ! Had my surgery the 9th and this morning I am 1 lb under when I went in to the hospital. So I finally on my way back down😂

I am getting sleeve on the 9th ! Seems like their are a lot of August sleeves !
