Nov. 2nd. surgery date weighed 212 (I'm 5'6). As of today I weigh 185, so 27 lbs loss. Thought I'd lose it faster but then again I'm not starving myself or on a really restrictive calorie diet either.I just try to stay aware of what I'm eating and not consume too many calories. I can pretty much eat anything. The only thing that really gives me a problem is boiled/deviled eggs...odd, but I think it's because the egg takes awhile to 'break down' in the stomach? Otherwise no problem with rice,shrimp, bread and other foods some people have mentioned. I haven't tried a steak yet but hamburger hasn't given me a problem.

Your lucky I can't do rice and I'm not mad about that either. I haven't tried a steak either, I think I'll wait a little longer before I venture out to eat a steak

I'm not allowed to try rice for 9 months which sucks because I LOVE sushi!! Steak I could puree at 3 weeks (never did - ew) and then eat at 6 weeks. I have eaten it frequently and it goes down better than chicken and fish! Just dont cook it well done. I hear it's only lap banders that have probs with steak.

Hi all, my surgery date was Nov. 14 but I started the shakes Nov. 1st

I've lost 43 pounds total so far, but I notice I'm slowing down a bit. Trying NOT to get on the scale daily anymore either. I keep having this fear that it will stop working, and I'll re-gain all my weight. :unsure:

I know that this won't happen, but it's just a fear i have. I have about another 40ish to go, and I'm running out of good recipe idea's. Anyone have some good ones?

Good luck All!

:wub:

Hello everyone! I was sleeved on Nov. 1st and have lost 33 lbs so far. I haven't had any problems with any food since day one. My surgery and recovery was easy and smooth. The problem now is I have been at a stall for about 2 weeks now. I went back to my Protein Shakes this week because I wasn't getting in all of my Proteins with my meals. I try to drink at least 2 bottles of Water daily but I get so full when it comes to liquids. I only drink water because I don't really have the taste for anything else except maybe coffee in the morning. I don't know what else to try. I also started doing the stairs at work this week. 6 flights up and down throughout the day. I hadn't run into a stall until now. So do you think my stall just came later?

hi 2 see me again- are you eating enough calories?

I was sleeved on 11/21/12 and I have lost 39.5 lbs. I had the typical stall at 3-4 weeks, I increased my calories, Protein and Fluid and began to lose again

I've been having a rough week- I've had the flu and with so much drainage- I barely have room for real food. I've been drinking shakes to try and make up the room. The plus side- I'm down to 201.8. I have 2lbs to get to my first mini goal. I'm so determined to get to onederland!!

I haven't really calculated my intake. I start Mfp then I forget. My surgeon also didn't say what I should be at or working towards. So I'm kind of just going with it. I go back to see him in Feb. and my dietician is across town from my job so I haven't had a chance to go see her either. How many calories should I be taking in daily? I'm afraid to eat a lot of things because I don't want to get into bad habits again. There isn't anything I have tried yet that has made me feel bad. So I can eat pretty much anything.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
