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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
