Any newbies out there? Has my surgery on 8/27 and looking for new Sleevers to go through the journey with.

I'm up 3.7 pounds this week. I am 2.5 weeks out and up already. I can't believe this!

Don't panic! I gained 3lbs overnight at about the same point. It does come off again.

I know how you feel! Not sure what happens at 2 weeks :/ have you started puréed or soft solids?

I started puréed. It seems common, it's just very discouraging. :-(

I agree! I was thinking to my self I'm supposed to be losing not gaining lol!

Exactly!! Lol maybe next week!

I was sleeved the 26th and am on soft foods. I haven't tried this yet but it was a recipe in my guide from my dr. Take a slice of cheese' date=' put it on wax paper and microwave it until it bubbles. Then take it out and let it cool completely, the book says it'll harden a bit like a cracker. My thought is its like a cheese-it. I'm planning on trying it tonight with some cheddar and white American. Maybe that'll help [/quote']

I made crackers like these when I was doing low carb a few months back!!!! I used shredded cheese and baked them in the over on waxed paper... Parmesan gives good flavor too... They are awesome!!

I was stalled for a few days too... It was RIGHT at the number that has haunted me for months... I had lost over 90lbs on my own starting 4 yrs ago...

The past 25 months the lowest I could get was 245... I would bounce up and down between there and about 260 no matter WHAT I tried or how much I worked out. I was 255 day of surgery 8/29.... And then stuck at 245... My number of doom.... I also started back to work full time this week and started purée Tuesday night with the ok from my Dr. ..... Today I am FINALLY past that number!!!! 243!!!! Keep working the process... It will catch up!

I also track my cals and Proteins on myfitnesspal.... Dr. Didn't give a calorie goal... Just Protein and Water... The days I've hit 900 cals I've lost the following day... Those days I stalled I was lower ..... If you are stalled maybe try looking at any cal/protein/water trends?

Look to your cycle...sometimes there lies an issue.

I gained and lost within the same 3lbs for 3 weeks, now I am losing again. Don't lose heart, just keep working the program and it will work for you!

August 26 sleever here. On solids foods, now and doing great. Walking a tons.

I don't check the scale daily. I want to hold off checking for 30 days at a time.

I can totally tell weight is coming off as my clothes are fitting looser every day which is awesome.

I'm 30 days post op and finally broke down today and bought some clothes. I was amazed!!! Went from a 44 waist to a 38 in a month. I'm so happy with myself and wish I would if done this years ago.
