Have you tried Unjury or nectar? I really like the chocolate unjury, I'm lucky and my hospitals pharmacy carries it, you can also order online

I ordered some last week! You know the name unjury just doesn't scream (I am yummy..consume me), but I read many good things about it so I finally just went ahead and ordered 2 sample packs. Hopefully they will be in this week.

Down 15.5lbs. Lost exactly 1lb from last Monday to this Monday. I know this is normal and my doc is very pleased with my progress, so I'm not going to let the scale demons win this one. It looks like several of us are in the 15-18lb range.

I'm going to keep on keeping on, make a push to get in my protein/fluids, start weights now that I'm cleared, and follow my doc's guidelines to eat 6-8 times a day.

I have one more week of soft and then I start regular food. Curious how that's going to pan out!

Down 20 lbs since surgery and 62 lbs down from the beginning of my journey in July. Super excited to see how this all pans out... I feel like I'm a slow loser, but according to this post, it seems like I'm right on track with everyone else.

I should add that I am happy with my progress thus far even though the scale and me are not getting along right now.

I'm down 50 total since august, 17 of that since surgery.

I am down about 33 lbs. My diet changed today to include regular foods as tolerated. My soft diet included chicken and tuna so I pushed that to turkey and well ground beef and even pork. So far I hadn't consumed anything that I wasn't already eating. I think my cravings for sodas has increased, however I am better tolerating being around normal folks while they are eating. I really wish I could go to the restroom (probably drop some weight if I weren't so stopped up). TMI? Hesitant to take something that isn't gentle. I don't know exactly how much Protein and oz I am getting. I just eat low/no carb and highest protein I can. Doc probably wouldn't like that but I hate all shakes. I have yet to try Unjury, but my package of it came today so we'll see.

I have been on a stall for over 2 weeks now. I have only lost 27 lbs and that was lost in the first week and a half. Thinking this isn't going to work

So frustrating not seeing the scale move for 2weeks. I know I know don't watch the scale, but its frustrating. I'm only down 18lbs and scale only fluctuates up 2lbs and them back down the 2lbs. I have 60-65 more lbs to loose.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
