Just want to share stories and questions with people in the same range as me

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 just tried some fat free refried beans today and they were DELICIOUS!!!! lol lol I won't be doin to much of them but it was a wonderful change from the liquids.

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.

Oh he also said that I should start resistance training, start using 5ld weighs

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!

Surgery date 8/27 and lost 15lbs so far. I'm not getting back on the scale for awhile. I don't want to get frustrated

Sleeved Aug 28th, down 18 lbs and in a stall for 1 wk so far. Doing full liquids still. start soft foods on the 22nd....

I'm 2.5 weeks out (8/29) and I'm on pureed/soft foods. I've lost 15 lbs since day of surgery and been hovering around there for a few days.

Sleeved 8/14 and down 20. Although this week the scale hasn't gone down. Let's see how this week goes...good luck to all.

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.

Surgery on 8/8 . I'm down 44lbs ; 29 was pre-op I'm on soft diet and have had several stalls. I need to increase my exercise.

Hi Sln8978'

You were sleeved on my birthday!,

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 was sleeved on the 21st. I started at 255 and am down to 232. I'm still on soft foods. I'm going through some sort of wierd let down. I'm wondering if it's because life was very exciting and scary up until this, and now it's normal? I can't figure it out. I should be dancing on the ceiling right?
