My surgery was June 4th & I can't believe I lost 18lbs in one week

Oh man! I want scrambled eggs with cheese, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, refried Beans, with cheese, sf pudding, cream of wheat. The

possibilities. I'm so excited! How about you?

LOL!!! Heck yeah, I can't wait either

I was sleeved on the 4th of June. I just finally saw results on the scale today. I have only lost 3 lbs! Anyone have such a slow start? Getting really frustrated.

Don't get frustrated. From what I have read everyone is different but the weight will come off. I have been on 2 ounces of clear fluids for a week and then have tries to up it. I don't thk im getting 6-8 but maybe 3-4 an hour. Dr. Let me start jello creamy soup at day 8 which has been helpful but after a couple of tiny bites I'm done... But the taste is like heaven. And I also find myself enjoying the smell of food now. I go to the kitchen while my husband cooks and just smell, but I do not touch!!

I commend all of you who are able to get your fluids in. I was sleeved on the 7th and I simply cannot get more than about 8-16 oz of Fluid in a day.... And half the time I flat out forget to eat too!! I have broth, tomato soup, and cream of chicken soup as options along with the Protein shakes.

I haven't been able to get past a few swallows of the shakes. I just bought some muscle milk and will try that tomorrow.

I have my post op on Friday... Was really hoping I'd get upgraded to pureed but I don't know... We'll see.

Good job to everyone else though!!! I will just keep trying!

@ butterfly - I am sorry you are only getting that much in; I don't know of I would try eating or just focusing on my liquid; dehydration is nothing to joke about.... Good luck friend!

Thanks... I just keep trying. I sip, sip, sip, and although I know I'm not getting the ounces that is recommended, I am watching my pee, and making sure it's not real dark, and it's not.... I've also not been constipated at all (sorry for that info... lol). I'm doing everything I can think of.... I may try to suck on some popsicles today to see if that makes a difference.

I have my post op follow up this afternoon, so I will be sure to talk to the surgeon about it.

Hey everyone! I was also sleeved on 6/4.

Pre op- 238

Day of surgery- 228

Today- 216.4

I can drink clear fluids now with ease. If it goes down too fast, I feel a tightening in my tummy. My NUT is pretty lax, so is my eating plan. She had mashed chicken/tuna with mayo listed for 7 days post op! I couldn't bring myself to do it! Protein drinks are killing me. The taste of them make me gag, but i have to force them down. My 2 week appt is on Tuesday, I am looking forward to getting a complete list of what I can and can't eat.

My first pre-op appointment was today. Finally got my staples removed!!!

I'm down 22# since beginning my pre-op diet. I have 13 more days of liquids and then I can begin puree and mushies..... Oh I will definitely be counting down!!!!
