Weight day of surgery: 222

Weight 10 days later: 206.5

Haven't lost anything since then. Starting my third week and disappointed to still be at 206.5.

12/22/12 Sleevers share your progress

i was sleeved on the 19th. Day of surgery 222, 10 days later 205, today 205. Kind of a bummer, but I attribute it to the fact that I switched from clear liquids to moist and mushy at the 2 week mark. If I'm still at 205 in 2 weeks, I'll be upset! Right now, I'm just trying to get from moist/mushy meal to moist/mushy meal! i wish you the best!! We'll see the scale start moving.

Annie B. You're on mushy foods already?I'm still on full liquids. I'm afraid to even try purée at this time. How are you tolerating mushy foods?

Moist and mushy =

creamed Soup, no lumps at all

yogurt, no fruit

SF pudding

cottage cheese

pastina

Protein shakes (was not allowed these during my 2 week clear liquid phase)

I've been on this for 4-5 days. No more than 4 oz at a time - three times a day.

So far, I've not had any problems with it. I stick to the program I was given exactly. I eat very slowly, no liquids 30 minutes before I have one of these "meals", during the meal and 30 minutes after the meal.

10 more days and I move up to soft solids. That's going to be the big change.

Thanks for the clarification and also for the reminder not to drink before or after meals. It's hard for me to equate yogurt or cottage cheese as a meal. I need to keep reminding myself. Thanks!

That's why I put it in quotes - I have trouble equating these as meals as well. I have lots of questions for the NUT next week. Next Wednesday (the 16th) I get to move to soft solids and then add 2 2oz snacks, for a total of 16 oz of food a day. Still seems like a very small amount! However, I'm committed to changing relationship with food, and this first 6 weeks is really crucial, I think.

I went from lapband - vsg = lapband highest weight 442 lb lowest weight on lapband 249 lbs band removed in aug 2012 gained 38lbs ! Highest weight before Vsg 287lbs pre op liquid diet lost 18lbs ! postop weight loss now i'm down to 251lbs so total loss 36lbs with vsg since my surgery on Dec 17th thats with the 2 week liquid diet!
