I was sleeved on October 18th, 2013 in Tijuana, MX. I returned to the States on October 22nd, 2013; I got on the scale the very next day and noticed I was 228. That was 6 pounds down since surgery; the strange thing to me is this I was eating very little (I still am), but the scale hadn't moved since October 23rd, 2013. NOT EVEN AN OZ!!!!. I just weighed myself right before doing this entry and my weight is 225 pounds; it took another 9 days before the scale moved. I don't know if I should be happy or sad; because I feel somewhat disappointed. How are things with most of you and yes I know some of you guys haven't been sleeved that long.

Have a great day.

Yummm! Thanks!

I hope you like it! I just has one for lunch. :-)

I just want to say that Im also down 50 lbs since starting preop in April' date=' and no one even notices!!! So I make it a point of telling them! You would think that 286 to 236 would be worth a freaking mention.... LOL.[/quote']

One would think. Lol. Great job! If they see you everyday...they may not be noticing.

I am so glad to be reminded that we are not alone in this journey if we don't want to be. I have been stuck at 226 (down from 242 on 10/14 surgery date) and starting to wonder what I have done wrong. Glad to hear it is probably just my system adjusting to the shock of a whole new way of life. Does the PB2 powder taste like peanut butter or is it more of a neutral protein taste?

I am having one shake in the mornings. I mix it with 8 oz of 1% milk instead of Water. Tastes better and gives me 33 grams of protein instead of 25. I eat ff refried Beans with a little mild taco sauce and some shredded cheese mixed in. That is around 8 grams of protein. I am able to eat about 4 oz of dense soft protein, so it has been very easy for me to get the protein in. This equals a can of tuna drained with a little mayo, mustard, lemon juice mixed in, or a 4 oz filet of tilapia cut into small bites and chewed well. I also found that pulled BBQ pork with a little BBQ sauce mixed in has the same texture/density as my tuna salad. All of those options have about 22-27 grams of protein/serving. That is how I am getting the protein in.

Talk to your dr . or NUT about the soft meats. My surgeon recommends them during the purée stage, but all are different!

I found by mixing unflavored isopure (mix this with 1-2 oz. water before adding anthing else so it doesn't clump), a vanilla sugar free carnation instant breakfast, instant decaf coffee, a couple teaspoons of splenda... and sometimes some cinnamon with 16 ounces of warm to hot water. You can not taste the protien powder at all, and I put it in a to go coffee cup with a lid so I do not smell the protien powder either. This gives me 34g of protien. I usually drink this over the first 2 hours I am awake. It is so good especially with the cinnamon... makes me feel like Im having a Starbucks :-)

Yum!! That sounds so good! I haven't found vanilla instant breakfast! I need to do some research! Lol!

Is anybody eating anything other than protein yet? I really want to eat some vegetables or fruit or something but I'm afraid I won't be able to get in all my protein. Also, having a hard time getting in all my water because of not drinking before, during and after meals.

I can't eat food! Even puree and deli meats make me puke more often and not, but I keep trying. So I'm drinking 4-5 Protein shakes a day. Getting 80g of protein and about 1200 of Fluid. Also managing a spoon or two of avocado. Feel like I'm STARVING!! But I guess that's the point...

Sleeved Oct 31st. Down 12 pounds, plus my pre op diet loss of 21lbs. 33lbs woop woop!!!

Basically DITTO. Same thing- all I eat is protein, but in doing so, I'm having a hell of a time getting in my fluids... I'm under goal every day, and while I know a protein shake will fix both problems, I don't want to live life only drinking my protein- 3 weeks was enough!
