So I was sleeved on January 23rd. I've been having my Greek yogurt just fine. So I decided to try a little mashed potatoes (I hate soup in any shape or way). And the first time was fantastic....now it's been sitting in my chest. I just feel like anything I eat/drink just fills me up immediately. I think I have no hope of ever upping my calories enough to be successful. Did any of y'all feel that way or am I just being hella impatient? Thanks!

I'm almost 4 weeks out and posted a similar topic titled Restriction and Amount of Food Tolerated. I've gotten a couple of responses but I'll follow this one also to see what answers you get.

Don't worry... it takes months to get over that part where you can only eat a few spoonfuls without feeling overly stuffed. In time your sleeve will loosen up (it is very swollen from surgery right now) and you will be able to nourish your body a little better. I still can't eat a lot but I'm more than able to fit in about 1100-1200 calories worth of healthy solid food every day.

HTH - there is a bonus to not being able to eat much though and your scale will show it.

I will be 2 weeks out on Wednesday and I can barely take a couple very small bites of Greek yogurt without feeling SOO VERY FULL! I measured out an ounce and I could only eat half. :/ I can't even get my required liquids and protein in. I am getting in almost 30 ounces of liquids and 1 protein shake. The upside is I have lost 13 lbs in 11 days. =)

The thing is that the scale isn't moving. I'm at 218 lbs. I'm aware that there's a stall. But isn't this rather early for the infamous three week stall? I will not despair, I will not despair. Boo!

I am having the same exact issue that you are having. cant hardly eat anything and the scale just stoped im 2 weeks today. i even set a timer to eat since i have no desire thinking i was just not getting enough and i want up 4 oz. i am totally lost i feel like im gonna be the one that this fails on. hope someone has an answer for us newbies.

I have Muscle Milk Light in the morning...it takes me about two hours to finish it. I make it with 16 oz of Water because I do NOT like anything thick or shake like. Now, it's 1:46pm and I'm having some Oikos Greek Yogurt (0 fat)...it's really sweet and I don't really like it. I can't measure at work because I don't have a scale here. But I figure I'll have three ounces. Then I drink my Isopure Zero for the rest of the day at work. When I get home, I usually have two spoonfuls of mashed potatoes with roasted garlic and chicken broth to make it soup-like. And that's my whole day. Today, I think I'm going to try some tuna fish pureed with a tsp of mayo. We'll see how that goes.

I will not get on the scale til next week. I'm going to keep walking every day for 30 minutes (I'm going to up it to 40-50 a day) until I can go swimming and such. I hope that by next week, the scale will move favorably!!

Girls,I am in the same boat,I am 2 weeks out today and the scale has been stuck for almost 5 days now. I am only eating about 4 ozs of food a day,tops! I personally feel (in my case) it has to do with maybe not getting in enough protein and fluids. I am walking for about 30 minutes a day. I can only fit in about 35 ozs of fluids,and maybe 40 grams of protein. Btw,Have u guys tried Sobe lifewater 0 calories?? YUMMO. I love the black and blue berry and the macintosh apple cherry. They have vitamins in it and are so yummy. =)
