I was sleeved on Oct 9th. Yesterday was my 1st social eating and as I am from a big Italian family who's sole social settings revolve around food I am proud that I actually lost a 1 lb from yesterday. My family is big grazers but I took charge of myself & made Breakfast and lunch. I did indulge with a glass of wine but for dinner I sampled only a few items (quarter size) and filled up on turkey and my Splenda cranberry sauce. I had a bite of my sisters cherry pie and considering that there was literally 1 pie / dessert per person am super proud of how I handled my eating. I am 2 lbs shy of 50 lost.

You had wine at 6 weeks out, didn't it hurt your tummy?

I drank a new world red (California Pinot Noir) which are lower in acidity than old world reds. I savored it slowly and had no problems. I also drank after my afternoon Water portions so my stomach wasn't empty.

I'm able to eat what I want too. I still haven't tried eating anything hard or chewy yet I'm too chicken. It took me long enough to be able to be comfortable with food. Like you I eat 3 meals and 1-2 Snacks. Cashews have become my new fav snack lately. Yumm

I'm starting to wonder if I am the only person not to loose weight after being sleeved. Total from surgery, I am down 26 pounds mostly lost in the first two weeks then some over Thanksgiving day weekend. I haven't lost since then. I drink my Water, Protein intake at 94 grams, and eat 900-1200 calories a day ( usually closer to 900). I'm really hoping I didn't go through all of this for a 26 pound loss.

Are you taking measurements? If not, I think the measurements mean more than weight. There's an app called weight tracker that you can log your measurements and weight and even if you don't lose weight you'll see your percentages drop with measurements.

I'm at a similar pace!! I am currently in a stall for the second time since surgery! I've lost 25 pounds since surgery on oct 22 but I can tell in clothes that it's working! I am not eating as many calories as you though, I range anywhere from 500 to 700 a day

I was sleeved 10/29 and have been through two stalls (currently in the second stall). I am at the point where I can eat what I want, but find I stay with cheese, ff refried Beans, canned chicken Nd tuna, and Protein shakes. I have to admit I love my chocolate Protein mixed with Water and sf hazelnut Syrup. It tastes like iced coffee. :-)

I'm in MFP also if anyone wants to add me.

I am down from a baggy 26 pants to nice fitting 22. So measurements would be a good idea. Thank you. "Patience" is my new mantra.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
