Guess the week 3 stall has happened. I have only lost about 1lb in the last three days, I was averaging a pound a day before that. I have been getting in all my Protein and Water, maybe just with the change to soft foods this is happening? Very frustrating though!

It does to me too but i was put on pureed food yesterday and was kind of upset about it cause I thought I would be able to have soft food instead since I had to wait so long to have any food but now I'm kind of understanding why because I'm having a hard time getting in the amount of food that I'm supposed to be able to eat I'm allowed two shakes a day and one meal which consists of three ounces of pureed Protein and 3 ounces of pureed vegetables but I haven't even been able to finish the 3 ounces of Protein lol .... i was wondering also how anybody else get any more food in because I have to stop drinking 30 minutes before I eat and then I have to wait 30 minutes after I'm done eating to drink and tonight its ok me 45 minutes to eat almost 3 ounces of pureed chicken .... are you also getting in all your liquids

Well Monday I am scheduled for a post op EDG to see why I've been vomiting so much over the past week. I'll be 5wks post. I lost 30lbs the first 3 weeks exactly but the last two weeks I actually gained a couple pounds back the fourth week but this past week lost like one pound. I guess I'm at a stale time now too. I've had so much trouble keeping everything down including Water. He said something about stretching my esophagus, tube to pouch, not sure exactly which, but is concerned about my vomiting so much. He is still pushing the Proteins.< /p>

I got my first comment today from someone who didn't know about my surgery. I needed the encouragement because its been a tough week. Last night I couldn't get any food down! I'm glad it's the weekend so I can mentally have a fresh start :)

Yay! What did they say?? I could sure use something like that. I've lost about 30 pounds and have yet to hear anybody say anything. I wonder if they notice lol it's okay though because I do big time. I understand the rough week thing. I have a hard time getting food in and am feeling so drained. I feel like I should be running around playing with my kids and all I can do is lie on the couch:(. But today I'm trying hard to get all my Protein and Water in. It's taken me two hours just to get in half a Protein shake and less than a full glass of water! But I truly feel things will get better and wouldn't change a thing. I have hope now where as the only thing I had to look forward to before was getting bigger and unhealthier!

I'm with you lady!!! There have been a lot of ups and downs so far, but the highs definitely outweigh the lows. I lost 30 lbs in a month on my preop diet and I've lost 20 since surgery. I barely notice a difference in my clothes and such, so I assumed it wasn't really noticeable to others. A guy at work came up to me and said I just wanted to tell you that you look amazing, you're losing a ton of weight and seem so happy and healthy. So sweet!

We can do this!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
