Have you talked with you dr and nut. Why do you think that you are losing slow? Maybe things will pick up soon

Sleeved 2/19 and made it past the first two weeks with virtually no pain other than wicked gas pains. I have moved onto to soft foods but I am having a heck of a time getting in 3 oz of Protein. Who would have thought that? I used to eat my entire meal in 15-20 minutes. Anyone else having a problem getting food down? I am chewing thoroughly but it still takes me forever.

I am personally just tired of food period, i don't even want to eat........that could just be me though, but I do it so I c an live.........lol who would have thought

It looks like everyone is doing awesome their first month. Can you believe we did it? All those fears and sleepless nights worrying gone. I just want to say how proud I am to all the sleevers. You made the decision to change your life and you followed through. Be proud of yourselves!!!!

I did have a major scale victory today. My first life stage goal. Today I am my pre-pregnancy weight of my second son. 10lbs until my next LS goal which is my pre-pregnancy of my 1st.

My nut said 500 calories. I started a strict diet (soft foods stage). On my work days I am doing 3 shakes a day and eating 2 small high Protein meals. So I space it out and over 12 hours I'm having something every 3 hours. I have lost 2# a day while at work. Now when it comes to my off days I will just flip the hours. I am 4 weeks today and I have not hit a stall at all but have sometimes only lost 1# in a week. I don't get frustrated I just know its working off in other places. Today I am down 35# preop, 20# post op op. Average 5# a week not too bad? Well hope all of you are doing well.

I picked up some Jim Beam Blackened Salmon from the frozen fish section at Walmart that I'm excited to try.

Breakfast today was one egg scrambled with a bit of cheese. Delicious, took me nearly half an hour to eat it, and I'm stuffed. Love this!

My bad. It's blackened tilapia and it looks delicious. We also got the salmon, in a different flavor.

So:

Breakfast: 1 egg scrambled with a pinch of shredded fiesta cheese

Lunch: 1 reduced fat Colby Jack cheesestick, 2 tbsp SF pudding

Snack: Protein shake (skim milk + unjury vanilla = not very excited Firelle)

Supper: Up to 3oz tilapia, ?

Late night snack: Giant bowl of cookie dough ice cream (just kidding)

I'm still loving how NOT hungry I am!!!!!!

I saw in the Kraft Food&Family magazine that there are new flavors of string cheese sticks: pizza, Tomato Basil, BBQ, and Cracked Black Pepper. Anyone tried these yet? I want to pick up the pizza and Tomato Basil!

Started pre-op liquid diet 2/16. Sleeved 2/26. Down 40lbs so far. Easily getting my fluids in. Easily getting my Protein in. Getting in 1,100-1,400 calories. I love the "full" feeling. Still on the puréed crap. Can't wait until real food starts.

The only problem is 1 leaking incision. Bleeding all the time,

All in all, I'm happy.

I started out at 500-700 calories for a week or so post-op. It's getting easier to get the calories in. Doc wanted me to work up to around 1,400 calories. I'm almost there.

The incision is a pain in the a_s. Doc says that it will heal eventually, but it sucks, & I've ruined about 3 shirts.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
