Not Losing After Moving To Mushies



Recommended Posts

I got moved to mushies a week ago and have not lost anything. Is that normal? I am only getting 700-800 calories a day. I'm not hungry. I eat exactly what they tell me to eat and only one cup of food per meal (lunch and supper) Breakfast is usually one egg. Any ideas?

Give your body a chance to adjust to the new foods. Drink your Water, get in some walking and the weight will come off. Remember slow and steady wins the race.

How's your veggie intake? Lots of bean/ cheese mushies can slow you down. Mush some spinach or zucchini and add it to some mushed chicken with a little broth. Keep things moving with your intestines too.

Remember that wl is mathematical. Cal in- cal burn= wl.

It is not possible to eat 800 cal high qual foods and remain obese. Just be patient!

Minime I asked if I could have some veggies and they said not yet but I can have Beans and potatoes... Makes no sense. I wish I could have some zucchini that was one I asked about specifically. All the mushies they told me are high protien items like beans, cheese, Peanut Butter, yogurt etc but no veggies. :(

Well then, don't worry about weight loss. That will come later.

I actually gained a few pounds when I went to mushies so I wouldn't worry about it. After about a week or so I started losing again. Hang in there!

You are still in your healing stage, so just stick to your Drs orders and things will kick in. The first 6wks are for healing, not so much weight loss. Try not to compare yourself with others, you're on your own journey.

Things will kick in,if you follow your instructions, I promise!

Maddib76 that is really strange because on the diet I got from my surgeon, I am not allowed Beans, potatoes, rice, bread or potatoes BUT I am allowed over cooked vegetables. I'm wondering why your doctor said no vegetables.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
