I'm two weeks out today and I ate tuna puréed with a little mayo, a Matrix Protein Shake, and a jar of Gerber meat sticks. I'm kinda embarrassed about the meat sticks but they tasted good and turn to mush when you chew them.

Sleeved April 10th. Eating mostly Protein. tuna, fish, chicken, shrimp and eggs. I have had bites of bad things but that is just it only bites. No soda. Water or unsweet tea. Tried veggies cooked but just trying to stick to protein. I enjoy meals with the family out but I have a couple bites and box the rest up and just enjoy time with the family. I have over eaten a few times until I vomited.

i was sleeved on April 10 (which is also my birthday). I have stallled at a 23# loss. i wonder if it is because I have been eating and not just dong pureed. I have not eaten things that my dr hasn't ok'd until tonight. and i overindulged which then led to some heavy duty vomiting. does anyone have any advice on how to get out of this stall and what do you do when you have that darned head hunger?

I was sleeved 4-24-12 an I'm down 42 pounds. Started at 370 and now I'm 328. Not bad!

But I know I'm not getting enough Protein in. My nut said I can have some soft foods now.

So what am I really eating? Lots of string cheese. Some grapes. Some cheddar cheese. Gummy Vitamins. Lots of Water. Cooked broccoli. Some egg whites.

Sleeved 4/23 n dr still has me on clears but I gotta confess I haven't stuck to clears. I e added Greek yogurt, a little cottage cheese n sugarfree pudding. These r the only way I can get any Protein n as I add Protein Powder to the yogurt n pudding. Can't stomach the shakes post op. Still not meeting my protein n Water goals but I'm working on it. I think I've reached the dreaded stall cause I haven't lost n e thing since 16 days post op. I'm down a total of 23 lbs with 15 lost post op.

4/19 but I can only eat soft foods and liquids. I tried eating Pasta and failed. But my favorite naughty food is chocolates. Not every day but i have a fun size hershey bar once in awhile. The sugarfree chocolates hurt my tummy. I have lost 12 lbs pre-op and 23 post op. :) totaling a nice 35 lb weight loss. I feel like a success for today even with my occasional chocolate.< /p>

Well I'm down a total of 53 pounds. My starting weight was 235. Surgery weight was 212 and now I'm 182. :) I feel great about my loss. I don't feel like I'm struggling with head hunger. I stay away from all carbs except those in Beans and yogurt. No flour products. I eat protein- shake, bar, cheese, beef Jerky, and lean meats. I was sleeved march 12th.

I forgot about confessions- I ate Peanut Butter cup and got so sick. I havent done that again I tried eating chicken and a hamburger patty too soon and got the slimes and felt horrible. Now I can tolerate pretty much anything as long as I eat slowly and don't overdo it.

I was sleeves April 2 and I am down 28lbs. I get in all my Protein and liquids. I eat chicken, fish, eggs, tuna and cheese. I go to the gym for an hour 5 days a week and I do not eat anything that is not on the doctors plan. I feel I'm losing weight way too slowly but it is coming off.

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
