2 Weeks Post Op

[evelynvsg 136]

I had my surgery exactly 2 weeks ago and lost 18 pounds the first week. The second week I havent lost a pound. What is going on? I was on Clear Liquids the first week and the second week I was on full liquids. I added a few things to my diet such as cream Soups and Protein Shakes. Im so disappointed. I have been stuck in the same number for a whole week....

18 lbs the first week is awesome. Don't be disappointed at all you are doing great. I'm 2 weeks shy of being 3 mths out and didn't lose a single lb until my 2nd week and only lost 2 lbs. Everybody is totally different with the weight loss and the way their body decides to change and at what pace. I had to lose 30 lbs to change clothing sizes where as some seem to fly thru sizes with 10-15 lbs loss.

We are sleeve sisters..I had my surgery 2 weeks ago today also...

18lbs is AWESOME...think about how long it would take you to lose18lbs if you were just dieting and not had surgery..... I kind of look at it theat way and it makes me feel much better. I am down 17.4 lbs since I started my clear liquid diet the Sat. before surgery...

How are you feeling otherwise? I am feeling really good...still just a little sore ut overall reall y good!!

I myself use INTEK Evolution, it's a whey isolate which is what the drs recommend, I scoop to about 4 ounces of Almond milk ( this is what I use) provides 34 grams of Protein, contains 160 calories 2 g carbs, 1 g of sugar. 2 shakes a day will get you to your required protein each day. At right at 3 months out 1 still take at least one shake a day and sometimes a second depending on how I did with my protein for the day. It mixes extremly well and is smooth. It is available at specialty nutrition stores and online. I really appreciate the fact that it doesnt require me to drink 8-12 oz's and the taste is something I can deal with and actually tolerate. I purchased several flavors so I don't burn myself out drinking the same thing day in and day out. It says you can mix with Water but I don't like the taste mixed with water.

I am drinking either EAS that you can buy at the grocery store...I only like the chocolate and it has to be really really cold. Or I order one from APEX it is a whey Lean Protein powder, 24 hour fitness sells it online. It has 22g of Protein and to me tastes really good. I think the key is to make them slushie cold in the freezer or a bit...
