I am at the 6 week mark and on soft foods. I have been stalled for 2 weeks at 185-186. I started at 223 pounds and was 200 and for the day of surgery. It’s very difficult for me to even drink a protein shake and maybe one or two bites of food . I realize I’m on the smaller end of weight loss surgery but I am hopeful to lose another 40 pounds. My big wins are that I am off of all diabetes medicine and also 75% of the medication I was taking before my sleeve however I’m looking for any helpful hints I can get to break the stall. Suggestion please.

Three surgeries at once is really big, but you will make it through this. Each day will get better and better. Tried to take slow sips of water every 15 minutes to stay hydrated and try to stay positive ? Be Encouraged!

VSG surgery was yesterday 2/27/23 I also had hiatal hernia repair. I’m still in recovery at the hospital and I’m looking for some great clear liquid tips along with making sure I stay hydrated after the IV stops this evening and I’m at home. I’m excited and nervous all at the same time.
