Thank you for all the updates. I have stalled out and plateaued too many times and I often feel very discouraged. I am not losing very quickly, though I am down to 225 from a presurgery high of 285. Congrats of your weightloss and keep up your hard work

Happy Holidays!!! I think I have been over on my calories a few days this past week. The head hunger has been very strong and just drinking water has not been helping. I also get very strong stomach hunger pangs. I am supposed to have 2 meals and 2 shakes rotates 3.5ish hours apart. I have been.getting hungry after afout 2 hours. Im thinking my meals are too small maybe...? I see my surgeon and nutritionist on the 5th. So I will ask. How is everyone?

Don't let the infections get you down. You have already come amazingly far in this and eventually the infection will give up.

I am putting myself back on full liquids for a few days. I was put on soft foods (not pureed) on Nov. 28th, but the last few days my stomach seems to be more upset. I figure maybe I need to restart, slow down, and watch my intake a bit better. It could also just be constipation because I misplaced my dulcolax. But better safe than sorry. I met a coworker from another department who has the sleeve on Halloween this year. So that was pretty cool. I am thankful for the amount of support I get at work. My immediate coworkers watch my intake more closely than I do ?.

My scale at home is broken. For 3 weeks it told me I wasnt losing much at all. At my followup i was weighed and was 7 lbs under what my scale says. Still seems slow but we all have our own normal

I am like this. I am 2 weeks today and I am not feeling the restriction. I just feel hungry.

Two weeks post op today and I am so hungry. I am getting all my protein in. I have been forgetting my fluids that last few days. I go back to work tomorrow. Most of my incisions seem to healing nicely. I have only lost 3 lbs so far....

Great job with that weight loss!!!! It sucks that it started so rough for you but you have over come it. Keep up the good work!!!!

I had to have my endoscopy thing just before my surgery because my insurance didn't deem it necessary. The anesthesiologist also had to intubate me. So I had a very rough bloody throat when i woke up.

I didnt get those. I have had a lot of surgerys over the years so i lost my fear of exposure though. I just say sorry im gonna blind you and carry on.

I bought it so excited. Heated it up immediately when I got home, strained the bits out of it, poured into my little portion control bowl and ate a few bites slowly so ready for it to be amazing. I then handed it off to my husband and told him I will not be eating it. The Tomato and Red pepper soup I shared somewhere has been amazing though. I think its my new favorite. I get all my protein in my 3 shakes so I am okayed for a small bowl of non- protein soup daily.

I have one. I have not used it because I was told no straws and no poptops of any type. The cirkul flavors have what seems like a pop top to me so added air was a concern. The flavors are great and zero sugar though. I especially like the white cherry. I will be bringing mine to my followup on the 28th to get a deffinate answer before i use it again though.

Welcome. I find the community here great and i hope you find the support you need. There are several threads and sub threads to did through and find whatever you may need.

I also tried the Panera Lonster Bisque and found it dId not sit well with my stomach. Over all though, i struggle getting all my fluids still. The random muscle near my main incision hurts a lot less than it did a few days ago. I am super itchy from healing. I weighed myself at 264, which is 19 lbs less than my starting weight but only 3 lbs less than my presurgery weight.

Hi. I was also sleeved on the 8th. I can not say what is normal, but my scale is newish and unreliable. It told me I've only lost 3 pounds since my surgery. Dont worry so much about the scale. I have faith my dietitian and Dr. Will let me know if something is wrong. You got this.
