Hi everyone..

I was sleeved on Sept 11th, so one month down already! I've actually been pretty lucky with no complications and healing. I have been on soft foods for about a week and it's going well. It's crazy how little food I eat before feeling full. I ate the ingredients inside 1 taco and it took me 2 hours to finish it. I have noticed though that my weight is sort of stayed stagnant for a little over a week. I was wondering if that was normal.

Here are my stats:

HW- 316

SW- 304

CW-290

I need to get in a routine for exercising so if you have any tips, let me know! Thanks :-)

I am pre-surgery, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt! But I remember my NUT saying eat for 15 -20 minutes, and no longer, otherwise it might become "grazing". I am wondering if others have heard this? Also, I've been told that walking every day is the best exercise for post-surgery. I have an elliptical machine that I park in front of the TV! Works for me!

Good luck!

Amy

Do a search on this site for the 3 week stall. It isn't a stall that lasts 3 weeks, but one that occurs approximately 3 weeks post op. Extremely common. Just keep following your guidelines and weigh yourself only once a week. Once a month is what I did, but I'm a little crazy.

I am Sept 10th. I am on the mushie food. Sick of refried Beans, but only have a few more days before real food. I have had no complications either. Only problem is constipation, taking stool softeners and Miralax. Not working. Only brown Water. TMI, sorry.

Otherwise, its all good.
