My plan had puréed stage and a soft foods stage. A lot of things on this list I wasn’t able to have until the soft foods stage . Can you contact your surgeons office? Your nut should be able to at least email you a list of acceptable foods for your stage

I've done Soup. Some baby food. Refried Beans, mashed potatoes, chopped broccoli, a deviled egg (which didn't agree with me), scrambled eggs.

Did your surgeon give you a specific list of purees you should eat? I have 2 stages of purees, bland purees for one week, then advanced purees for another week. Cream if Rice didn't sit well with me. I pureed refried Beans with a little broth. Delicious. I can also eat ricotta cheese, plain Greek yogurt. Soon I'll add hummus, cottage cheese, and pureed boiled egg.

I had my surgery March 27th so I’m only 17 days in. I’ve already lost 25lbs. I haven’t lost any the past three days for some reason but here are my progress photos. My largest is 330lbs(1st photo), day of surgery weight was 284lbs(2nd photo), current weight is 259lbs(3rd photo).

I did everything required by my fidelis medicaid. I fit into their requirements with my BMI. They are saying it's to low (35.7) for my height I'm still obese. Now I have been denied. The surgeon did a peer to peer and was denied. The head nurse had me file a complaint w the Attorney General and went for an appeal w their support and was denied again. Now I am going for an external appeal. I am very upset and disappointed. I do not know what to do.

I had my surgery on April 1st and am really struggling with the Fluid intake and lack of weight loss. My dietician said that women struggle more with the weight loss because during our periods we retain Water and gain weight. I was told that drinking fluids is the most important part of the healing process. Something I've found helpful is getting a steamer from my local coffee stand. 16oz steamed milk with sugar free flavorings. The warm liquid goes down easier and it also relaxes your intestines.

Omg that’s super exciting congrats!!!

Briswife15 I think mine was mainly Water weight because I was on my period during the surgery. My mother had the surgery and said she didn’t loose most of the weight till the 3-6 month mark. But couldn’t remember if she had a stall but I’m guessing she did(her surgery was YEARS ago) I trust you’ll loose the weight you’re wanting to and look great!!
GradyCat shoot sounds like it’ll be something that happens frequently but at least now I know it’s normal and won’t over think it the next time it happens.

It looks like nearly everybody gets the Week 3 or 4 stall and it seems several of us have also gotten it around Week 16 as well. That's what I've learned so far from these forums. I've experienced both and am just getting out of a stall going on Week 18.

I had surgery the same day as you did, and Ive been stalled for a few days. I've only lost half of what you have, though. I'm kinda frustrated with the slow weight loss, but Im just gonna follow my plan, and persevere!! Best wishes to you.

is anything you're drinking have food coloring,or have you been drinking grape juice, that gives you green poo, keep on with your liquids,bariatric patients fare better on Fluid drive just like some cars.!

PS my urine is dark and smelly today also. So I am drinking extra myself today, if nobettermy urologist gets called in the AM in case I am going into a UTI. Oh how I HATE those! Got 3 kidneys so it usually hits me hard!

It's the famous Week 3 or 4 stall. Everybody gets it. It's temporary for 1-2 weeks.

Thank you so much! I feel better knowing it’s normal lol. Was there anything that made it “feel better”

I am one month out from sleeve surgery and I still have soreness on my stomach. I use a heating pad and that seems to help some. Someone on here once said that her nurse said to her... you've basically been stabbed 5 times in your stomach. Of course it is going to hurt! You are definitely not alone in the pain department!

It would come and go, so just be gentle and do very slow stretches and lots of walking (easy walking unless you are already really fit). Try to keep good posture, standing up as straight as you can without making it too uncomfortable. Hunching will just make it take longer to feel better. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is the only over-the-counter pain relief that is safe post-op, so you can try it. Heating pad may help.

I had tugging pain and cramping in my abdomen near the incisions but inside. Your insides have been rearranged a bit and things are tender and hanging differently. I would be fine and then it would pull. It went away 3-6 weeks post-surgery.
