I am almost one month out (jan 3rd) and have lost 20 pounds. I am starting to eat more exp fruit....and my fav thing now is pickles! I am also drinking a lot of Water...mixed with things like cranberry juice and apple juice... I also exercise over and hour a day and I cannot get the scale to move at all!

Should I cut out the juice? Maybe move back to liquid diet?

My goal is to lose another 20 pounds next month but that doesnt look realistic since the weight loss has come to a complete STALL!

Should I throw away the scale?

It sounds like you and I have the same surgery date - I'm down 25, so you sound like you are right on target! Don't be frustrated, just stick to the plan and give your body some time to adjust. Don't forget, you had MAJOR surgery! Hang in there, I promise you'll look back at this post a year from now andd think "I was so worried about nothing".

Same thing here !!! Sleeved jan 5 th lost 23 pounds and scale hasn't moved either ! And go yo the gym everyday . Don't worry it's prolly our body just trying to catch up . What else do you eat ?? I want pickles!!! I'm still on soft foods .

Sounds good thanks! Now that my scars are healed and I feel somewhat normal I do have to say I miss those days where broth filled me up! I deff need someone to hide this stupid scale though. I cant tell you how many times a day I weigh myself. Its crazy.

Sara, my main diet is mostly tuna (which I can barely eat), protein shakes (which I'm sick of) soup, water (alot) juice, pickles (which I can barely eat as well) protein bars...and fruit, fruit, and more fruit.

Hey there! I was sleeved 12/5 and have only lost over 30 lbs post surgery... I just broke my 2nd stall this week by upping my calories, protein and liquids... I walk most days... about 30 minutes...I think weighing more than twice a week can serve to be very discouraging when the numbers don't move... in my case, I went up 2 lbs before I went down...You'll lose... your body will adjust... and you'll lose again... take heart! You're doing fine!

Thanks so much! I can tell im losing inches, Im just so obsessed with this stupid scale. Im sure everyone thinks well what if this surgery doesnt work for me? Maybe I'm eating to much damn fruit! Lol at the end of the day I guess I should give myself more credit for losing 20 pounds in a month and getting my butt up and exercising every day. Its time to hide this scale.

yes... PLEASE give yourself ALOT of credit... you're doing fine!

Get rid of that scale girl! Only check once a week and keep body measurements. 20 pounds in a month... you go girl!!!

Lol boyfriend just hid it! Thanks

I know how you feel - you're doing fine! My nutritionist said no juice, but all nutritionists have different opinions. I've had two stalls (sleeved 12-12-12) and one day the scale will move. I'm scale-focused too, but you have to look at your body and notice the changes. Celebrate the inches coming off!

Thanks! juice has got to be better than soda right?!

my nutritionist said soda and juice were no-nos. I drink things with Splenda - iced tea, Crystal Light, and diet lemonade from Chick-Fil-A (love that stuff).

My nut said that diluted apple juice with no sugar added is better than anything with artificial sugar but she did tell me to dilute it heavily I do 1oz of apple juice in 5 oz of Water

All nuts are different!

Protein bars are high in carbs. I'm not allowed to have them. Can you tolerate scrambled eggs, Greek yogurt, ground turkey? There is a recipe on here for baked ricotta, and it's amazing. Also, my nutritionist told me about a blog, the world according to egg face. She has a lot of recipes on her blog. I just bought a cookbook for bariatric pts, weightloss surgery cookbook for dummies.
