I recently had the surgery on May 25th of this year. So far I have lost 30-40 pounds. However yesterday I weighed and have gained 5 pounds. I have only been eating baked chicken and fish and maybe some steamed or boiled shrimp. The surgeon/Dr. desk lady thinks it may be fluid based off she said it seems like I follow most of the diet plan. I make sure I consume no more than 400 calories a day and that whatever juice I drink is only 10-20 grams of carbs. But I don't think my surgery is successful.

I was, bog down by work ND endless projects now.

Nothing new

Get some vitamin water. Preferably the diet one. Low carbs and calories. The lemonade was the best one cold.

A little bit. I weighed at 302 this morning.

I am still low 300s. That's it can't get below

Why is that. I heard the bigger you are the more weight you lose but how and why. I thank God I got help before I hit even 400. I knew my weight was out of control even starting at 373 before my journey. I do pray for anyone at 600 to get help. I stress about my weight because of the health issues it has cost me and a lot of friends and family who judge and critized me for it.

My current weight goes from 311 someday to 315. It was bouncing from 315 to 320. Sometimes it will go higher if I eat the wrong thing. I am still only able to eat like 2 bites of something.

Only if my sugar gets low. My sugar levels now if I am not careful go to the 60s sometimes. But weight is still up and down and I am just through. So I consider it a failure. I have only lost 60 odd pounds

I am down to 320 now. I think i am hitting certain Plateau periods I have been told about. Are they Common

I had my surgery in Birmingham. It was with Dr Schmitt at St Vincents east.

Hey you live in Alabama, so do i. What part and who was your surgeon

It depends. Usually I drink something with carbs once a day. I mostly drink water. But I really am suppose to eat nothing with fat which is why I stick to baked or grilled foods like fish shrimp or chicken. I am not allowed any fatty meats.

I am a diabetic or have been, since the surgery sugar has been no higher than 98 when I check it. But with that said, I have been trained like other diabetics to count carb count by how much the total grams of carbs are in something by the label on the back with all the nutrient info on the back. Example if its has 25 grams of carb i will drink it but anything else like that for that day I wont consume. I do the same with the calories. I try not to eat something that has more than 300 calories total.

I am back to excercising but i gain weight according to my scale afterwards. I drink tea and gerber apple juice which doesnt have much carbs. I usually drink things under 30 grams of carbs and i keep my calories under 500 a day

HUH!!!

Hello I am new to the forum. I had my surgery on the 25th of may 2023. I am worried I wont lose any weight or enough weight. Also can someone explain what I am suppose to eat on my soft diet. Dietian says one thing and surgeon dr.'s office says another. I have another issue and I am so ashamed, but it kinda hurts my stomach after 5 swallows of my soups or broth: but I ate a saltine cracker and did just fine and know I am worried i have sabotaged my diet and weight loss.

Yep!. I wounded up throwing the grits away because they sat out on my desk all day. But I am starting to learn what my stomach take easily and what it wont.

I was able to eat 2 scrambled eggs successfully this morning. But only 4 bits of grits

I really do appreciate all advice. I will happy this Thursday when I can eat eggs or grits or mashed potatoes.

Thank you very much. So did I sabotage my diet with the saltine cracker.
