Thanks guys. I’ll donate mine as well.

Is there anyone around Lewisville/ Flower Mound Texas (or who doesn’t mind coming here) who would like (free) clear liquids. I have Premier Clear, Zevia, Bubly sparking water and the 2oz cups for the purée stage. Let me know.

So thankful for this thread. I’m 6 weeks post-op (gastric sleeve) and have hit the mother of all stalls. I’m only 4 pounds down from my post-op weight even though I’m only eating about 6-8 ounces of food a day plus protein shakes)... The nurse at the clinic gave me his number to contact him if I had any questions of concerns but is constantly giving me sarcastic/passive aggressive answers! (Insert eye-roll emoji) why give out your number if you don’t want to be bothered with questions??!... Anyways, is this stall normal early after surgery and will I still lose weight?

I also didn’t have a bowel movement for almost two weeks. Finally had it when I progressed to puréed foods and it’s been regular since then. So you’re doing fine.

Thank you SO much for responding to me. I feel much better. I found chewable calcium that tastes fine so I’m good to take it for as long as I need to. Thanks again.

Thank you for your response. The study I found said something similar and it really had me worried. You’re right, nothing I can do about it now other than take my calcium and stay active. Thanks again.

At my soft food stage, I had mostly beans, sweet potato, eggs and fish ( Tilapia, mashed).

Hi there, I’m new to this site and 4 weeks post-op. I came across an article that said bariatric surgery puts us at risk of bone loss/weakness and also makes us more susceptible to fractures. Is this true? Does the calcium we take protect our bones?

Thank you for this. I was getting very worried myself. I’m 4weeks post op and my weight is exactly the same as it was during my post-op checkup despite only eating 6 ounces of food a day, 2 protein shakes and my water. I’m never hungry enough to snack so I know my calorie intake is fine.

I had my surgery the same day as you ? and I told absolutely no one. I even got a registered nurse to go with me because I was required to go with someone to drive me home.
