Hello all! I've been reading the forum for the past couple of months, thank you all for the great advice and sharing your experiences. It's been very helpful and informative! I met with the surgeon a week ago today, my surgery date is June 26. Anyone else for June?

Im 5'5.5

Getting 80-100 grams of Protein but only 400-600 calories then I walk 2miles burn 450Calories so some days Im in the negatives or just with 200 calories a day..... Not sure if thats ok

Are you doing shakes?

Surgery June 24th, surgery weight 331, current weight 306.

Eating about anything. Had eggs for b'fast, crab & cottage cheese for lunch, turkey meatballs for dinner. Can only eat about 4 T of food at a time. Can't stand Protein shakes, but drink 1 c of milk 2x day to get my protein. Averaging about 55-60grams of protein, 600-700 calories.

Bad news, I've gained! I was at 302 about two weeks ago. So frustrating. I first gained from 303 to 304. Then another week goes by and today it's 306.

I've heard people talk about stalls, but its killing me. Hope it start going again soon.

I'm also hungry every two hours. Really really hungry. Can't Ben understand when people say thy don't get hungry anymore. You're so lucky

Are you doing shakes?

25 Protein 170 calories 2g sugar 6carbs

Lots of water/gatorade G2 because gatorade is to sweet for me :-)

I'm 5'6" and 35 lbs down since surgery...this is according to dr's office. My scales are way off if so! I weighed at exactly 1 month (7/17) and was only 22lbs down according to my scales. I am having tuna fish (in lite mayo and dill relish) with crackers for dinner. So far have moved to all stages with no issues. I get to start salads next Tuesday! I started going to gym this Tuesday and have done treadmill, bicycle, and elliptical. They said I can do whatever I want yesterday at 1 month post op appt, so I will probably start that next week. Keep up the good work everyone!

I haven't been doing shakes either because I can't stand them, so I have been drinking milk too. How are you getting do much protein in without the shakes?

Oh I won't be heavy lifting anything. LoL!!! It took them actually well! I have also eaten Melba Toast and these bruschetta rounds I found at Wal-Mart that are not too bad for their nutritional stuff. I have also eaten Cheerios, which are yummy! I eat those for breakfast when I am out of protein bars. So far I have tolerated those good as well. Next Tuesday is salads and lean meats, then after that, on 8/6, I get to eat almonds! I'm so excited about that because I like to use that as a snack, plus it is small enough where I don't feel too bad about wasting food. Haha! I also get to work in the flatbreads and sandwich rounds then.

I'm still on pureeds for two more weeks. 4 weeks post op. I'm walking 30 minutes twice a day plus swimming 3 times a week. I live on yogurt, refried beans, poached eggs, pureed chicken, soup, and oatmeal. My tummy doesn't like much of anything.

I'm gonna try the Cheerios that sounds yummy and should be soft enough to eat. Im excited a new thing to eat.

I can't tolerate chicken, mash potatoes, sweet potatoes,yet hope to be able pretty soon. I love fish but so much I can eat of that.

I tried meatballs it was ok and I ate a little bit of mushy rice to see if it goes down and it did well.

Flat bread!! Love it I guess with hummus would be a good snack :-)
