I've heard of it but haven't tried it. Very curious tho. I could die for a piece of bread with some cheese or butter right now lol.

It was so easy and delicious! I put a smear of Peanut Butter on it. Soooo good!

How long are y'all typically stalling for? Mine has been about a week now and each day I'm increasing my Protein.< /div>

5 weeks out and I stalled at 2 weeks post op. The stall lasted for 2 weeks. It was very frustrating, but it did end.

I had an eight day period with no weight loss. But I don't lose every day. Typically about five days for me. But I refuse to obsess over the scale. Not worth it to me.

Thanks. I need to stop weighing everyday. It's more of a motivation to not fall back but it sucks not seeing it move everyday. I'm not devastated by no means I've almost lost 35lbs so far since liver shrink. Just didn't expect a stall for another week or two

No Protein Shakes? ??? Are you sure? I've never heard anyone say that before. There's no way you will get all your Protein without it.

If you are on soft foods, you can get your required protein in with just foods, but I think it's going to take more than three meals a day, unless you far out and can eat more in one sitting...

I stalled my whole 2nd week as well. I seem to be a slow loser. It's hard not to get frustrated.

There are lots of us who are struggling with getting in protein. There are some ideas as you read back through the forum.

      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.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
