Everything I've eaten today is not sitting well. It is all food I've had before, but today, I just feel yucky after eating. Hope tomorrow goes better.

Guess the week 3 stall has happened. I have only lost about 1lb in the last three days' date=' 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![/quote']

Good luck hope it doesnt last long..... Im not ready for a stall :( and im afraid its gonna happen cuz i started pureed last night

Hit 20 lbs gone today! Can't believe it, not even 3 weeks out yet. I'm sure I'll stall soon, but I don't want this feeling to end...ever!

Yay!!!...keep up the great work!!!

My Dr is so strict compared to you guys have...i its 3 weeks tomorrow still on liquids....im not allowed any milk at all not even soy/almond so i have to mix protein powders with Water....

No jello no soups nothing i feel so deprived lol

That seems crazy
That seems crazy

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.

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!!
