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?

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.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
