M on full liquids I'm going from 382 to 380 for the last 4 days. Is this normal??

Did anyone else struggle at this point with eating food?? I'm struggling with head hunger. My Protein shakes go down smooth but I can't eat anything else without belching constantly.

Any suggestions

I'm always burping! 5 days post op... I think the gases from surgery are still in me... Im practicing my breathing exercises that people on here suggested but still burping lol

Try gas-x.... It really does help

The burping and gurgling in your stomach is COMPLETELY normal. Also, your body is in shock and retaining water right now. Don't worry. It will move. This is something we all go through. I know when the scale is stagnant, it feels like it will never move again. I would not look at the scale for a week at a time at the beginning at least. Focus on getting your liquid in. Most important thing right now.

I've been weighing me almost 3 times a day. For full liquids week 2 what do you suggest I eat. Mashed potatoes don't agree with me I'm wondering of I'm eating too much. I feel stuffed at times after eating.

My full liquids phase was just Protein shakes and sugar free liquids... Water and broth, sf popsicles. Mashed potatoes are all carbs, I wouldn't have those until I reached goal. Did you get a guidebook on eating from your surgeon? Mine provided a day by day breakdown on what to consume.

You can get tips on what to eat when you get to the mushee/puree stage from a great blog called 'theworldaccordingtoeggface.com". she also offers recipes for smoothies.

Good luck!

Also, if you have to weigh every day... do it once first thing in the morning after you go to the bathroom. You will make yourself crazy over normal bodily changes throughout the day.

No problem. Don't focus on the balance. Keep your water intake high. It will come.

During a recent vacation travel, I did not weigh myself for 3 weeks and when I got back, I found I let an additional 14 pounds.

Don't worry.

Keep your water intake steady. You'll see the results soon if you don't give up.
