Am I Doing This Right?



Recommended Posts

Hi!

I was sleeved on Oct. 30th. I just have a couple of questions relating to what I've been eating lately and wondering if I am sabatoging myself or if this is ok:

I am 21 days out and this is what I can eat so far (typically only less than 1/2 cup each time I eat):

tuna mixed with lowfat mayo

eggs mixed with a little cheese

String cheese

Refried Beans w/cheese

SF Popsicles

Low fat Cheese Sticks

Cream Soups

Does this seem pretty normal for the stage I'm in? Am I sabotoging myself? Why I ask is because this past week I only lost 1 pound... I'm not freaking out about it but I figure it's due to being on a total liquid stage and now starting to introduce more foods to the diet... am I correct in thinking this will slow things down a little?

I've lost about 25lbs so far, I'm so happy and excited and just want to keep doing the right thing. I'm also starting to exercise a little more harder and boy do I feel it!! :)

Thanks for anyone's advice. I appreciate it!

I think you are doing great and this all sounds good. I was eating all the same things except mayo- it made me feel really sick for some reason. Don't fret about the weight- I hit a 3 week plateau right around one month from surgery. So 1 pound is still really good. You are going to lose no matter what! Don't worry- enjoy the ride :)

Definitely sounds like the first stall has hit. Give it two or three weeks an see how it goes.

The diet looks about right: bland and totally unappealing, just like it should be at that stage. <_<

If you'll pardon me for this, but I believe only your BM can tell you if you've had enough cheese, if you get my meaning. Nutritionally, there ain't a whole lot of options in soft foods.

I don't see much Protein in that list.

Are you getting the Protein in?

I hit the stall at 2 weeks it lasted until this week. I am 6 weeks out today. I kept losing inches and clothes kept getting to big though. scales didnt move for 4 weeks. Scales can be your enemy.

tuna, refried Beans, cheese, greek yogurt, all have protein in them... kind of why I chose them to eat... and I drink a Protein Drink in the am...sometimes in the PM as well.

Am I missing something... ?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
