So glad you posted this!! I was sleeves march 12. I’m down 52 lbs. I have about 20lbs till goal. I’ve stalled big time and have been feeling discouraged. Glad I saw this post! Back to basics and exercise is needed

Hi!
Sleeved March 1st. I’m down 40 pounds and then stalled for a couple months as well! I had to shake it up so I started the treadmill. I honesty haven’t been exercising but I need more now to fire up my system again. I have no willpower and find myself giving in to things. I need motivation I guess. But I’m not giving up!!

hi , me too...sleeved 3/27
last 2 weeks I had serious hemorrhoid problems.....but have finally returned almost normal.
are you taking benefiber at least 1-2 times a day and ducolax ? and Miralax?
the Water amount is ridiculous....I am constantly drinking but never arrive at the amount they say.
Are you all still taking Protein Drinks ??? my postop weight loss has been only about 14 lbs and I am wondering if it is because I stopped those horrible Protein drinks and or additives??/

Thanks for posting this! I have my follow up tomorrow

My doctor told me drinking before, during, and right after eating fills your stomach and you can't eat what you need to eat. You will feel uncomfortably full if you drink and eat. I am almost 4 weeks out and find I have no problem drinking before or after I eat. In fact, I drink a bit after eating because I want to feel fuller. I eat my meal and get plenty of Protein (scrambled eggs) but I will end up feeling hungry an hour or so later so I begin drinking soon after eating my eggs. Maybe this isn't good, but I thought your intestines do most of the nutrition absorption, not your stomach. *shrug*

So I'm a few weeks out and I'm in the purée stage. I remember someone saying along the way saying can't drink 30 mins before or 30 mins after eating. Anyone know why? Is this forever because it's hard!!

I actually found it on here someplace. This is the first thing I “ate” when I was able to and it was heavenly! Lol! here is the recipe!


Baked ricotta

8oz ricotta

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1t. Italian seasoning

1lg egg

Salt and pepper

1/2 cup marinara sauce (I used 1/2 cup sun dried Tomato alfrado sauce

1/2 cup low fat mozzarella cheese

Mix ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, beaten egg, and seasonings together. Place in oven dish pour sauce over top then top with mozzarella cheese. Bake 450 for 20-25 min. 6 servings 88 cal. 4 fat. 3.3 carbs and 9.2 Protein

I’ve been doing fat free retried Beans with little bit of salsa and little bit of low fat shredded cheese. Also made ricotta bake which is really good. It’s lasagna without the noodles! I’ve also done tuna with low-fat mayo and pickle relish(sounds weird but is pretty good to)!

I had a hard time getting in the protein and 64 oz of fluids. My dr told me the Premier Protein counts as liquid and protein. So if I drink 2 of those a day it 60oz protein and 22oz "water" then all I have to worry about is another 53 oz of Water. That took me all day to get in the first few days. If that's tolerable anything extra eaten is a bonus. Yesterday I had some fat free refried Beans mashed up with some salsa. I've tried a little bit of low fat ricotta cheese. Little by little you will get there

I was also sleeved on the 12th. The only way I was able to meet both my protein and Water goals today was by drinking a bottle of protein water. Two birds, one stone. But it’s a huge feat to even do that at this point
