Fallinfast

Terrible but after not losing for 4 weeks I have went back to liquid diet 300 cals a day. But finally lost 3 pounds.

Since day of surgery June 13 I have only lost 16 lbs..

I have only lost 12 lbs in 6 weeks since surgery. I'm walking 2 miles a day since day 5 and eating 640 cals a day average, 65 protein, 30 carbs, 30 fat a day. Wish I had the bypass.

How much since the surgery?

I'm still behind you a good 10 lbs with only 10 days difference. How much time are you in the gym. I've been so weak with so few calories I am not sure I would survive.

We didn't need much because we have the best doctors! Wednesday here and back on Monday.

Everything you said! Completely relate. But I'm following more the slimfast (not intentional) way of eating. Shake for breakfast, lunch and sensible dinner.... then comes midnight I'm starving and just dont care 4th meal.

5'2" HW 266 SW 199 CW 178 GW 135 Calorie limit of 800 cals until Sept. Can eat way more volume than I expected.

I'm not cheating, I'm in defiance- I'm starving by bedtime. Add sleepy and drowsy and I grab the bad stuff. Trust me, I know I self sabotage. What you said was right, I'm at 600 cals at bedtime and then packing another 200 in just a few bites with peanut butter. It's not the end of the world, yet but I was told to stay under 800 for the first 6 months. It's hard to lay in bed hungry.

Life water and walmart has it's brand of ph mineral enhanced water that are good. My cheats - I am a month out and I'm too lazy to eat 3 meals it's too much work. So I eat a premier protein shake with coffee added to it for breakfast and lunch. Then I have done fairly well to eat a decent dinner -- then fourth meal time comes right at bedtime. This is when bets are off. Peanut butter, semi sweet chocolate chips, pop tarts, chocolate candy. I'm not exceeding 900 cals a day but I'm not losing either. The whole you wont be hungry again is bs. I wish I had the bypass. My binge foods are slider foods.

I haven't really been able to eat anything of substance until this week and I blew it big time. Not on calories >650 but I ate the wrong stuff and can't help myself. I'm fine until bedtime and the willpower is gone.

Mine was 6/13 as well

I ate way more than I thought was possible. Maybe it was that it took me over an hour but I ate over a cup and a half of food.

15 DAYS AND ONLY 3 LBS

Necter unflavored tastes like nothing in a shake, yogurt, creamed cauliflower or soup. Caramel mixed with a cup of coffee is my favorite. Just like a frozen frappe

I have a nutrininja and I take my premier protein add it to the 30 oz cup, I add two scoops of necter protein and fill it with ice. I do this twice a day. That's 60 protein and 60 oz fluid. I drink 20 oz of water at night 30 mins after my puree. I can only handle stuff like hummus, refried beans and mashed avocado. Usually 5 or 6 bites and done. I've only lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks so I'm fine sticking to the premier protein for now.

I ate only a tablespoon of beans and guacamole and a bite of melon, waiting between bites, no liquid every bite. ALL but the last bite was fine... then ouch hits so fast, burps, and um the food is barely staying put. This is my first day with this feeling since the first few days of surgery. This is a teacup plate.

I have only lost 3 lbs in 2.5 weeks since surgery. I'm walking 4 miles a day since day 5 and eating 500-600 cals, 65 protein, 30 carbs, 30 fat a day. Can and or Should I add MCT to my premier protein 2x a day to get my cals at a normal level and to Ketosis? (I know MCT can cause stomach issues) I am worried I am hurting my metabolism with such low calories without the benefit of starvation ketosis which would boost my metabolism.

I like Syntrax Unflavored Necter. It's good hidden in warm food too. 0

I quit for surgery. I think the mini-lozenges you put in your lip/gum work best and Wellbutrin. But there are lots of facets of addiction to cigarettes. I had been at only 4 ciggs a day for a year from once a pack and a half a day habit. There is the habit part (after coffee, dinner, driving, home from work, stress relief, and for me my cleaning break). The oral fixation part - I didnt have this really but my mom chewed straws for a year while quitting. Then the nicotine. I realize now that the nicotine is often the same as food and sometimes I confuse them. My doctor scared me enough to quit for surgery and long enough for my body to be ready for it. Between pneumonia, blood clots and the lack of healing that happens from cigarettes I knew it was something that I had to do. Nicotine from the gum can cause the stomach stitches to ulcerated and cause stricture. So you must be done with them period. Also if I couldn't quit smoking, then how could I ever believe I could stick to the rules of using this tool of surgery. (You can still never lose a pound if you don't follow the rules, drink your calories etc.). I also want to be able to exercise and not have as much sagging skin as possible. Smoking really ages you and will not help with skin elasticity at all. Think of all the money you will have someday for the cigarettes and just nibbling off of everyone's plate Bikini and vacation money.

Still on puree. This is my dinner. It's good for adult baby food.

IT MGR here. I love my job. I was able to do my sleeve and go back to work with only 3 days off and a weekend. I had Surgery last Wednesday back to work yesterday. I have to get my staples, all 35 out tomorrow. Congratulations on the job. Tips, don't settle for pay less than a guy nor let anyone treat you differently because you are a woman. Remember your time and effort is just as valuable or even more so if you are a mom!.

I still have 14 days until I get soft foods but I'm dreaming of an egg, 2 bites of grits and a little bite of mushed cantaloupe. --- Is it a bite if you don't chew? In 7 days I can have my spinach and fruit smoothies. I'll be joyful for that!

My nut said anytime we had a stall longer than 3 weeks to do a reset with a 10 days of full liquids/protein supplements and then start adding proteins and vegetables and count calories and macros. You will find your stasis or stall point and know to reduce back a few hundred calories or add more activity.

I'm using unflavored Necter. It works really good with soup and smoothies. I also use the Premier Protein but since surgery they are so sweet!
