Mine was very similar to yours, except I did 3 days clear liquids, 2 week full liquids, 3 weeks puréed foods and then hard foods introducing one by one. A month out I could barely get in a few spoonfulls of soft foods. My first soft food was 1 scrambled egg, with salt and a bit of pepper, I could only eat 1/2 of it.

Chips, cookies, popcorn, pretzels, are all slider foods, unfortunately you will be able to eat endless amounts even with a tiny tummy :/

Seems like you are doing everything right so just keep doing what you are doing. I was stalled for 2.5 weeks at 2 weeks after surgery and then one day I just got on the scale and poof! Big drop. Even at 1 month post op I could barely get in 350 calories, right now Im at 3.5 months and get around 800 calories in a day.

Believe me, nothing easy about this journey...

I used to drink upwards of 64 oz a day before surgery, now I can barely get 32 oz in at 3.5 months post op. Also, I cannot do plain water as it sits very heavy on my stomach so I drink decaf tea, infused water.

I’ve made the fathead pizza easily about 20 times in the last couple of years while I was on keto. Can honestly say this tastes even better than original bread crust and it’s extremely filling. Highly recommend. Haven’t tried it yet after WLS, will wait until at least 6 months to make it again because it is higher in fat.

I got sleeved on 12/19/17, down 31 lbs so far, starting weight was 200 lbs.

You can give RealGood pizza a try, It has a chicken crust and it's pretty yummy, especially the supreme. They are small 5" pizzas but are very filling, I usually only eat 1/4 or 1/2 but the whole thing has 50gm of protein and only 8 carbs.

I took 1 week off, no issues whatsoever going back to work except for being very tired from lack of calorie intake. HW - 209 SW - 200 CW - 177 Surgery Date - 12/19/17

Not as nearly as good as when I hit 183! I’ve never had an issue losing weight below the 200’s however for years 184 has always been the lowest I’ve been able to go no matter what I do, so when I hit 183 I did a super happy dance. My weight goal is 120-125lbs so still a long ways to go! Thanks you as well!

Yup, that was me. Lost 11 lbs the first week and then stalled for the next two, zero movement of the scale but I could see and feel my clothes especially my shirts getting looser. Then after the two week stall I dropped around 7 lbs then on and off for the next couple of weeks. I don’t stress anymore because if I don’t see the scale moving this week I’m pretty sure I will do the following one. HW - 209 SW - 200 CW - 177 Surgery Date - 12/19/17

I looove white rice and sushi, I could eat that everyday if I could however once I removed the rice from my diet I started seeing results. Unfortunately all carbs and not that many nutrients. I plan to have it maybe once in a while and if it agrees with me, otherwise there are ton of other options like sashimi. Also, almost all sushi restaurants I’ve gone to have a roll or two that do not have rice, I tried one wrapped in cucumber and it was delicious. HW - 209 SW - 200 CW - 177 Surgery Date - 12/19/17

I’m 5 days shy of 2 months and I have lost exactly 23 lbs since my surgery on 12/19. I’ve also noticed I can get more food in each week that passes. HW - 209 SW - 200 CW - 177 Surgery Date - 12/19/17

It’s different for everyone, my sister had the surgery before me and she did not have an ounce of hunger at all, nothing looked appetizing to her, in fact that’s what pushed me to get it as well. For me? I was ravenous all the time for about 3 weeks post op, I was craving anything and everything all day and night, then it started to subside. I’m now at almost 7 weeks post op and sometimes I could go without eating because I’m honestly not hungry , however I still eat even if it’s something really small. Good luck and hang in there.

At the hospital the next day after my surgery the doctor suggested to take a shower, he said I would feel better. No kidding, best shower EVER! HW - 209 SW - 200 CW - 177 Surgery Date - 12/19/17
