I am in the same boat. Almost 3 weeks out and have been stuck at the same weight for 10 days.

Welcome! I am 11 days post-op and really loving the decision I made to get VSG. The support from others telling their experiences really helps because no one knows what we go through except for us, right.

Today will wrap up my first week back to work. I'm finding my groove with sipping through the day and actually eating when my alarms go off. I only had one day where I felt wiped out and was able to step away and slept for a solid hour and a half. I'm thankful I have the flexibility to do that right now. I've been having a hard time drinking my shakes since they are so daggone sweet. This morning I decided to mix half of my shake with an equal amount of Fairlife milk and have found it to be much more manageable. It's far less sweet and the nutrition is about the same. I think this will be my go to from now on. Maybe I won't dread drinking them as much. Two more weeks and I can finally add in some pureed foods, which I am really looking forward to!

6/15th too! I don't think anyone could have prepared me for how hard these two weeks would be. I have zero energy probably because i can only get like 300 calories in a day at most! I just had such an easy recovery and then this is really hard. I am drinking fine but the shakes are hard to get down. Talked to the nurse that said to try greek yogurt which was good. I love SF popsicles so she said use Protein Water to make popsicles and get more protein that way. he also said it was okay to try a pureed Soup or Jello. I made my own jello and added Protein Powder to it. I am really looking forward to trying eggs and then some tuna.

These food choices sound wonderful! Are you still dropping weight at the same rate? How much/how little are you able to eat at a sitting?

I dreaded the purée stage, but I gotta say I love it now lol. I love the ricotta bake, choooed eggs with fat free mayo and a touch of mustard, canned chicken in the chopper with light Mayo and my fav is fat free refried Beans with a little shredded cheese and a drop of sour cream. I still do Protein Shakes in between means and absolutely addicted to SF popsicles still lol. They give me that crunch and just feel like a treat.
Looking forward to soft food but still researching what to eat and how to add some excitement to that stage lol

@Ffmgl I had mine 6/8 and recently went about 5 days with no weight loss. Then 2lbs gone in 2 days. I walk a lot and follow the food to a T. I think it’s just part of the cruel process lol! Glad your doing well!!!

I'm new here. Had sleeve surgery done on June 1st.

Hi fellow Junies!
I had my surgery on the 15th with a little complication, but it is all fine now. I am three days away from puréed food and looking forward to it. Today, I can’t tolerate the taste of any Protein Shake or Soup. I know it’s in my head and trying to stick to it.
also, I have not lost any weight in 4 days. I think I am going to hide the scale for a while.

How’s everyone doing?

1. Who moved my car seat back? Oh, nobody. My butt is smaller and I'm sitting further back.
2. What? Do gold necklaces stretch? Oh, no. My neck just got smaller and now the chain looks longer.
3. Painting my own toenails.
4. Fitting in most any chair.
5. Not worrying about getting stuck in chairs with arms.
6. Not worrying about a chair breaking (mostly outdoor chairs). Been there, done that.

Wiping my own butt without breaking my back trying to reach 🤦🏼‍♀️

I love seeing the progress people have made after surgery. So for those comfortable enough to share them I'd love to see your before and after (and even progress) pics. I haven't had surgery yet (and wont for at least another 3mths) so I don't have any to post but I still like seeing what I have to look forward to. The pic below is me at my highest of 316lbs 2hrs after my son was born.

I remember being pre-op and my favorite thing to do was look at progress photos and dream
I am 6 months, 10 days post op and I am down 128 pounds total. This isnt a very great pic since I have been sick, but i still took it because anything is better than my before!!

I did it! Surgery was this week and it went well. I am on day two post op and feel ok. Not 100% but better than I was. Can’t believe it’s complete and now I’m excited for the next few months. Good luck to those having surgeries soon!

Yay!!! I’m June 8! Let’s all do this journey together!

Congrats, mine June 2nd!!!

After a long six months, I finally received my surgery date for Wednesday June 9th. I'm absolutely thrilled! Anyone else joining me in June?

Hi everyone. My surgery is scheduled for June 15th. I am super excited!

I don’t have my date yet, but it will be in June. Feeling a little nervous about such a major change to my body.

Congrats. 🎉

Hey there! I just finished my clearances and meet with the surgeon at the end of the week to pick a date!! Feels surreal! Good luck to you!!
