I found peppermint tea was my favorite, helped with the nausea also.

Greek yogurt, refried Beans with cheese on them, chili with turkey meat, chicken chili. I’m 6 months out and am full after 4oz-6oz.

Thanks for all the encouragement and for responding. Just giving a quick update I did get back on track and was able to break my stall. I have to always remind myself this is not a diet this is a lifestyle change and I just have to work hard at it everyday. Thank you!!!!

Yes I had my sleeve October of 2017 and by December I was having gallstones. Gallbladder taken out December 29th.

I was sleeved in October of 17. My hair was coming out bad! I was getting really scared ! About a month ago I started using Nature’s Bounty Hair Skin and Nails Gunmies. It says take two a day but I’m taking more than that... but my hair stopped falling out and is growing back. [emoji3]

I was 338 and now am 277. I just started using an app to keep better track of what I’m eating and now doing more exercises with the walking. Hoping this helps. I have had a lot of stalls.

Just wondering how many pounds people have lost. I’m not losing as fast as I thought I would. Down 61lbs and 3 sizes in jeans. Just wondering if I’m way behind or not. I know everyone is different but just curious.

Congrats! Thanks for sharing! I am about a month out. What a difference a year can make! You look great and I bet you feel great too!!!

Yes some days I am starving and I feel like I need to eat every 2 hours. And it seems like the day after I eat more often, I’m not as hungry. Good luck in your journey

I was sleeved on 10/17/17 . I had one week that I gained 2lbs then lost 6lbs the next week. The week I gained I was having a hard time getting in my Protein. I was only getting like 30 grams a day. I started writing everything down again and planned a little better and I’m back in track. Good luck to you!

I started with tuna, chicken breast and Turkey recently. I'm at 6 weeks

My first solid was a crockpot shredded chicken cooked with low-fat cream cheese and salsa verde

My hubby made a low fat Buffalo chicken Dip with shredded chicken breast and it was so good. I just ate it with a spoon and it was great. Crackers were allowed on my plan early out so the second time I ate it I had a few crackers for a little crunch.
Another delish meal was a tuna melt, warmed up the tuna a little with some melted cheese, lettuce for crunch, Tomato and used a Mission Carb Balance wrap which I browned up a little.
BLT's on a lettuce wrap instead of bread. Lettuce boats, low fat mayo, tomato and turkey bacon, or pork if that's what you prefer.
Also homemade chili was another good meal. You could make it with turkey or beef and add to it what you want.
By the time I started solids (10wks) I was allowed to eat anything as tolerated but I know some plans do not allow fresh veggies so you will have to follow what your plan allows of course/

I do it all the time. Works great in chili and Soup.

I feel the same way.... I keep seeing all these people and their weight is just dropping off. I gained 2lbs the 3rd week... how is that possible I’m eating 3oz of Soup at a time?? But then I got that off in a few days and stayed off the scale for a week like everyone told me. And I lost 4 more. We just have to remember we didn’t gain it over night so it’s going to take a while to come off. And everyone is different. Some lose faster than others. I go for my 6 week post op on the 30th I’m going to try and not weigh myself until then..... we will see what happens. Good luck to you!!

I was sleeved on 10/17/17. Down 28lbs since pre-op. Things were fine the first two weeks after surgery while I was off work. Went back to work working a lot of hours and third shift and I was having a hard time figuring out when to eat. Gained 2lbs and I re-evaluated what I was eating and I was only getting maybe 30 grams of Protein a day. So I went back to what I did when I lost 7lbs a week , which was more bean Soups and meat , greek yogurt and cottage cheese .Lost the 2lbs in a few days . So I’m hoping that helps.

I ate homemade chicken Soup. The soup had the liquid that I was used to and the chicken introduced the solid food which was tender since it was in the soup. The next batch after that I put in some thin egg noodles.

Baked white fish (covered while cooking so it doesn't brown.. stays tender).

So I️ know during this journey otherwise being healthy, getting the weight off is important. I️ also know it’s very important to not compare yourself to other people because it can get discouraging. My question is how do I stop being impatient. I’m a impatient person in general but reading these stories and seeing people results in 6 months honestly have me worried. I️ would love to be 100 pounds down in 6 months but I️ just feel like that’s not gonna happen. So how do I️ just stay focused and let my body do the work?

My surgeon didn’t have me do anything different as far as soap. But they did give me IV antibiotics while I was in the hospital. So that could be the reason some don’t have you wash with anything special.
