I start my fasting at 7:30pm until 11:30am. I’m in bed by 9 - 9:30. I have pork rinds (zero calories) as a snack and Coke Zero . For lunch I will have a chicken salad or regular salad and a sensible dinner. I have been loosing 2 to 3 pounds a week. Going thru that stall I was sure the VSG didn’t work but once i read intermittent fasting helps I decided to try it and it worked!

My stall lasted a MONTH! I started intermittent fasting and it changed my life! Stall over!

It’s been a month long stall for me and I don’t know what to do.. I haven’t gained but haven’t lost any either.. I am discouraged 😞

This may sound ridiculous but Flintstone vitamin.. they will help with your eating and before you know it your weight will pick up.

So we must be surgery twins because I’m 3 1/2 weeks out as well and everything you mention is where I am or experiencing. I’ve lost 20lbs. Hooray for us cause that’s a lot in three and a half weeks. I have had good results with salmon and mash potatoes (small portions of course), applesauce is a life saver, apple juice ( helps with constipation) chicken n rice soup, chicken noodle, peanut butter even grits with a soft scrambled egg.. the regular foods are not our friend so stick to softer foods that don’t get stuck in your chest (which is what it feels like). I also walk in the house when it feels like I need to release the gas(burp) after eating.. So try what you can until you find your fit.. good luck VSG sister!

I had my surgery 6/8 as well and everything went well I spent two days in the hospital because I wasn’t taking in enough liquid. The first week out the weight was falling off I was down 17.5lbs fast forward to last week and I gain two pounds. What is going on? I feel like did my surgery not work? Why am I gaining weight? On top of that here’s a list of things I’ve experienced after surgery. Burning in my lower abdomen from the blood thinner shot, gas and burping, weird stomach noises, itchy incisions😩, a yeast infection from the meds they gave me in the hospital😫oh and did I mention WEIGHT GAIN. The struggles are real. Can someone shed some light on the weight gain?

Yes! I had my surgery June 8 and I’m glad it’s over. I am now recovering at home and have already lost 16lbs since my post op visit on June 3rd. It’s been five days since my surgery and I’m still Stage 1 diet which is all liquids.. I would love a freshly fried piece of chicken let me tell ya... Lol but I’ll survive 🙄 Good luck to all who are scheduled soon!!

June 8th ... NEW DATE!!😁😁😁

Ok🙈so I was originally scheduled for surgery on 3/27 and it was cancelled due to the 🦠 ... the disappointment I felt was depressing but I took it in stride and as of yesterday I’m back on the schedule again.. YAYEE!!😁😁 BUT I am EXTRA nervous because of the🦠 .. I have anticipated this surgery it seems sooooo long but my fear of this🦠 is giving me apprehension, but by GODS gliding hands🙏🏾 I will walk by faith to have it done.. I’ve wanted this so long. I am ready for a new me! 🤩🤩

I’m so disappointed.. I was Approved and scheduled for 3/27 and was cancelled the day after I completed pre-op😞due to COVID-19 I wanted to cry. I haven’t been rescheduled yet because of the pandemic. It’s so close but yet so far.. I had to process my feeling, I was kinda depressed about it but I know it will happen.. just wanted to share

I was Approved and scheduled for March 23 and got cancelled due to COVID-19😞
