I was sleeved on 8/27 I'm down 22 lbs I'm still on mushy foods I mainly eat cottage cheese, egg salad mixed with light Salad Dressing. I only eat 1/4 cup and I eat 3 times a day. I did make some baked Beans today with no meat and I sprinkled some splenda brown sugar on them before baking. Tasted pretty good! Good luck to everyone!!! Belinda

I was sleeved on 8/21 @ 248.8 DOS as of my appt on 9/13 I was 233.5. I'm having some bad back pains and was referred to a specialist. My appt is on Monday. The Dr told me to start on soft foods at my appt. I didn't do well during the purre/ mushy stage nothing tasted right after it was blended, so hopefully after my appt on Monday I can go food shopping.

Sleeved 8/21.

Still on soft foods for another week. I'm doing ok. liquids are easy for me. I'm finding that my 'food lazy's' are coming back and sometimes I'd rather just drink a Protein shake than go into the kitchen and fix food. That laziness made me fat, so I really need to be careful.

Highest weight: 253

DOS: 234

Last weeks weight: 214

I'm losing gradually compared to the average 'honeymoon' losses, and I really don't mind. I lost a lot pre-surgery so I'm sure my body is just adjusting. 20 pounds in almost a month isn't something I could have done w/o my sleeve!

I was sleeved 8/22 and down 21 lbs. I too seem to be stuck here but I've heard that there can be a stall at three weeks. I feel like I'm losing inches faster than weight.

Hey all,

I am 2 weeks post op. Had the Sleeve done on August 31st. Since pre op I have lost 36lbs. Down from 282-246. Although the past week I have had a stall in weight loss. I am keeping my fluids up. I have been having trouble reaching the 75-90g of protien a day. I am up to about 60g. I started full liquids this week. It was so nice to eat something warm. I tried a little to soon to eat some tuna pureed and I paid the price I had terrible reflux. I also seem to have developed a lactose intolerence after surgery. Has anyone else experienced this. Has anyone else had a stall this soon? Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks!!

Jason

I too can't seem to get milk down.. But I can handle cheese. I've read that milk is hard on your stomach so I bought some skim milk but I'm still afraid to try it. Hoping it gets better with time

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
