Your weight loss so far is great! I was two weeks post op this past Tuesday (I also had the plication!) and I have only lost 16 lbs post op. I did not loose a single pound this past week at all. Your body is still healing so it may take some time to start seeing the numbers drop. It will happen...in time! I think the plication is a great benefit. I have not had any hunger pains at all since the surgery, whereas I see others start experiencing this and feel like they can eat as much as they did before surgery. Good luck!

I am 1 week post-op for gallbladder removal and plication and a year and a half post-op lapband. I found that with my lap band when you switch from liquid, to purreed you tend to gain a little. I noticed that your choice of mushy was potatoes, instead of this opt for Protein, such as making chicken salad, tuna salad, Egg salad. just make sure that with the chicken and tuna that you grind it up well in a food processor and use a healthy mayo and not a lot of it. and Remember to eat your Protein first. and watch those starchy vegetables like potatos and corn, and eat more green vegetables.

I am ready for mush, but have another week of liquids to go, and I am tired of liquid.< /span>

you can do it the first 4wks was hard for me because I had no education with nutrition. I paid cash for my surg and the surg was all I got no extra info really, now I realize food is not as nessary as I had made it out to be. You will do just fine just stay positive and remember nothing taste as good as skinny feels...lol

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
