My doctor's plan is so restrictive. I wish that there was a standard plan for everyone. I'm down 120 in 7 months. 10 pounds till goal weight of 135...so I don't think the Jello will hurt me but so afraid. Will check with my doctor. Thanks you.

I read about what your dietitian recommended..

Something with Protein and healthy fats like the almonds would be good.. It might help with you dizzy spells too..

I know it's hard to add more food!

But add something with nutrition.

Measure out a small serving of nuts or

Plain Greek yogurt ( i add one splenda) with a couple of blue berries..

It doesn't have to be a lot more food, just add one more "small" snack but make it count.

What are you afraid of? At 7 months out you should be able to eat anything. My goodness you have lost a lot of weight very fast. Time to start going into maintenance and trying some different foods.

SF Jell-O was on my clear liquid list, and Dr. Davidson was very cautious for the first six weeks. The good thing is I could count it as a liquid.....so I was thankful for that. The first few weeks, I didn't want to eat but made myself, lime Jell-O was good though. I ate because I had to, it was great!

7 months out, 127 lbs down and you haven't even tried Jello yet??? What have you been eating? The hospital was shoving that in my face 24 hours after surgery. In now down 167 lbs in 6 1/2 months and have tried everything under the sun. I have become a firm believer that you can eat ANYTHING as long as its in very careful moderation. I just had a small handful of M & M's and I bet I still lose a half to full pound by the time I weigh myself In the morning. Losen up a bit, it will help you succeed in the long run.

My doctors plan is very restrictive and I am not about to go against his plan when I have come so far and done so well. I am glad that you are able to eat what you want in moderation, but please don't judge me for following what my doctor said to do.

      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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
