Yeah, this is totally normal. I dropped 35lbs in the first week and a half I sat at 330 for about a week without the scale moving even though I was only taking in 500-600 calories a day. Now weight is melting off me again and I haven't changed a thing. Just stay focused on your plan. Get in that Protein and Water and it will resume before you know it. It is hard to ignore the scale when it is giving so many great numbers so rapidly, but I've decided to try to avoid it and I recommend you do the same. I'm going to try to cut back to once a week instead of every day.

So, let me start with stating the obvious... I'm a bit of an idiot. My first meal was canned tuna mixed with buffalo sauce and a little bit of mayo. I'm damn lucky my stomach seems to like me and I was able to tolerate it. I've eaten buffalo sauce mixed with almost every meal since. I've just been alternating between scrambled eggs with buffalo sauce, tuna with buffalo sauce, and canned chicken with buffalo sauce. So far my stomach loves me. My colon is a different story... That being said, I just finished my lunch. More buffalo sauce.

Sorry, that's a question better answered by minds more knowledgeable than my own.

In my case, if I drank too quickly (which I did frequently) I would just get a wave of mild pain which told me to think more next time. I know some people will start salivating a lot and some will sick up. I imagine there are people with some horror stories, but I think most people have had a similar experience to mine. Just try to be mindful, and know that you will likely mess up a little bit here and there, but you should be fine.

Okay. Are you all ready for this? (I'm sure you've already come up with this, but WHAT THE HAY)

You take your chocolate Protein powered, and some luke warm milk. You mix them together until it forms some weird sludge-paste in the bottom of your mug. Yummy. You then finish it with the rest of the warmed milk, and once smooth can be heated in the microwave to your hearts' content without making the Protein Powder get all ~nasty~.
You take your mug of goodness, you GLUG in some of this Skinny Syrup and do far more peppermint extract than seems wise. You now have something kind of like Starbucks' Peppermint Mocha, but way less likely to make you feel sick later. ❤️

I do this with coffee. I add a shot of sf Torani peppermint, then a few drops of chocolate stevia liquid and a shot of chocolate Premier Protein (for fewer calories and less protein--since I get most/all of my Protein from food and hate wasting liquid cals/protein grams). So dang good!

Woo Shawana, you're a freakin rock star. You've got this. No doubt in my mind.

I'm just going to tuck myself in here to see what comes of this post. Those sausage balls sounds tasty.

Yup, seems pretty normal. On my 3rd day after surgery I had apparently pooed the bed just a tiny bit. Which I didn't notice at all. So I went to sit in my recliner. You know, just to spread the poo. It wasn't until my first big fart that morning that I realized a 2nd Water balloon had just exploded out of me. Super pleasant. I had a leaky bum for about a week. Don't worry, if you're like me you will soon have some stellar Constipation and then it should stabilize after a couple weeks.

Long story short, it will get better, and it will get better quickly. Although, I'd listen to Fluffy and avoid the juice for a while.

Yes it is up to us! Dang it 😂😂 my nutritionist said if I can do 7 weeks liquid diet pre op on my own ( phenomenal) I can do anything. This was my 3rd attempt at weight loss surgery so I was afraid I would wake up in recovery again and be the same me when I woke up. Now that I have the surgery, I have a hard time sometimes especially when I feel depressed but I’m working on it. I went from 610lbs July 1 to 575 August 17,2017 surgery day til now just 460. And I could be more but I haven’t exercised due to 2 herniated disks, bulging disk in my back and my knees are shot! But I’m no longer on my scooter and shop and do things that I could do before. So I know I don’t wanna go back! That’s not an option!

You may still yet lose it. I've heard a lot of people say their tastes change and my nutritionist says that it often comes after a couple of months when the taste buds change. So try not to worry. Right now focus on Protein and Water. I've had a couple hard candies since surgery and they seem to sate my sweet tooth. Before surgery I'd need to down a half a batch of brownies to do it in. So, even if you do eat some sweets, maybe the new moderation will do the trick.

You're the best Fluffy. Thanks. I'm going to make up a batch of that to tide me over for a few days.

Umm, this looks super tasty. I'm on Phase 2 now, so I'm basically only eating eggs, Cottage cheese, and Tuna. Any recipe on this? Or should I just mix them together with a bit of spice?

Yes, I can totally relate. Before surgery, which was only two weeks ago, I was always warm. Now I am freezing constantly. At home I have a blanket on me everywhere I go and at work I have a thick jacket on. I'm still cold. Now I know how my wife feels.

I used to eat an entire package of bacon, six eggs, and four pieces of toast in one sitting. I'd be hungry again by lunch. Now this is the remains of two scrambled eggs. I gotta say, I love the restriction.
