Started Soft Foods (Sleeved 5/17)..scared To Eat To Prevent Lbs Loss...



Recommended Posts

Refusing to eat is not conducive to living. You don't wanna get dead!! K?? Your loss may take a temporary hit, but that is your body readjusting. Don't worry about it. Eat the food. Drink the Water. Do the exercise and you will lose the weight. Sleevie makes it easier to do that. Do not refuse to eat. You need Protein and calories and such to allow your heart to beat!! :) Be good girl.

I felt this way too. But you eat so very few cal. Dont worry it still comes off faster them any diet you have ever done.

I was actually at a stall, then started soft foods & the weight started coming off! Go figure! So doesn't necessarily mean you will put on weight!

I agree Nj Sharron... If you dont eat your body will think its in starvation mode and your body will stop losing. As long as you eat low carb high Protein you should never have to worry about gaining. Good luck and rem

You need to eat to lose weight. You're body is very intelligent. If it does not receive nourishment it will start believing that it is starving & will try to retain all of its stored energy(fat) conversely if you do provide it with consistent nourishment it will feel more secure and will release its stores(fat) because it knows there is more coming soon.

I was sleeved on the 17th too. I'm praying my sleeve can tolerate soft foods. I'm don't think I will stop losing. Maybe a short stall until my body adjusts.

Well I blamed my huge stall on starting solid food so I just wanted to emphasize the need to persevere (trying to be funny but sounded too serious! ;) ) just don't freak out if you stall a little.

My longest stall is when I started solid food. I had a few day stalls after 2 weeks or so out but I have been in this stall for about 2 to 3 weeks. My surg told me not to stress, I am finally starting to lose a few pounds now.

Stick with it!,

      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? 🤷‍♀️
