Hey everyone, I hope you are all staying safe. I am 7 weeks vsg and My weight loss is going very slow... Any suggestions or ideas... would love to know... Be safe!

Thank you all for the words of wisdom and the encouragement... You are all right! One day at a time...

I’m not dropping weight as quickly. I’m still at 194... been there for a week. I definitely need to drink more water...

I’m 2 wks out from surgery (3/6) and have just started in mushy foods. I had two bites of scrambled eggs and I was completely full! 2 hours have passed and I’m still full to the point that I can’t even sip water... Is this normal? How long will this last? Definitely not getting my water in right now....😩

I’m looking forward to 6 plus bites... lol. I’m excited for what’s ahead...

I guess it’s a good thing... I will definitely keep track of this... I guess I will be having eggs all day today... lol

It’s such a strange thing to feel so full After 2 bites....

It definitely is making a difference... Glad you are feeling better.

Hi all... I’m one week post op today and 12lbs down. I am on full liquids and experience some of the bloating if I let too much time pass between meals. I was told today that I should be doing to protein shakes. 1st an hour after waking then snack mid morning, then lunch ( protein shake or soup) then snack and then dinner (soup or protein shake). I have to have a total of 64oz of fluids. So that’s sipping water all day. This would alleviate the bloating and fatigue. I wasn’t getting in enough calories. Lastly, walking, walking, walking... Hope this helps...

Hello everyone, I am day 4 post gastric sleeve and I am feeling exhausted... I have Hr in the low 100 and feel a bit sob.... just started full liquids today... Just wondering if any of you experienced this. I’m probably starting to get a bit dehydrated and should up my fluids but it’s been challenging to drink 64oz... Any thought/ experience?

I’m Definitely going to do that... I have to buy cucumbers and mint and strawberries to infuse my water

Thank you all for your encouragement... Increasing my fluids is something that I know I have to do... I’ve been sipping but so far have not been able to do a full 64oz... just going to be more intentional with the sipping set that as my goal. 64oz minimum...

Yup... There should be less calories if you just have the caldo... sopa de habichuela negra... another option...

You are absolutely right! I know that I’m heading down dehydration road.... I just have to do it... 👍

Hola... I’m Dominican as well so I know what you are talking about... I would say el caldo de soap de pollo (chicken soup) or blend the sopa till smooth.... Sancocho (hearty soup) again just the caldo or blend smooth... I am definitely going to be doing some sopa...

Hello.... My name is not on this but it was on another thread. I had my surgery 3/6/20.

Thank you.... I’ve been taking biotin, folic acid, mvi, collagen... Will continue to up my protein... Have to increase my water.

Hola everyone... Does anyone take 1oz or 2.5 oz protein shots to reach you daily protein goals? If so, which protein shots do you use? I don’t want to lose my hair which has already thinned and fallen out when I was doing a medically managed weight loss program last February... It is only now that it’s starting to recoup 🥺

I’m scheduled for March 6...
