Weightloss-Best Things To Eat



Recommended Posts

I am in ending week 3. This week I was able to start puréed foods. Not sure how to do this. So I have basically lived on an egg every morning, Protein Shake, and refrained Beans. I've noticed a stall. I haven't lost any weight this week. What have you done in order to consistently lose? What did your dr prescribe as number of carbs and number of Protein?

Almost everyone hits a stall at the third week. It doesn't matter what you eat (unless you are eating milkshakes and french fries or something awful and need to fix it).

That said, my doctor prescribed a maximum of 60 g carbs and a minimum of 75 g Protein while on purees. I also ate a lot of eggs, Protein Shakes, and refried Beans. Other things I ate: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and various white meats pureed with different sauces, such as:

sweet & spicy tuna (the kind that comes in a pouch) pureed with Sriracha sauce

hickory smoked tuna pureed with low cal BBQ Sauce

lemon dill salmon pureed with olive oil mayo

chicken pureed with marinara sauce, then heated up with melted mozzarella cheese

turkey pureed with peanut satay sauce

I was limited to 3 tablespoons of food per meal, 3 meals per day, no Snacks (other than liquids/protein shakes).

All of that said . . . the three week stall is completely normal and it doesn't mean you are doing anything wrong with your eating! I promise!

I'm week 8 and haven't stalled yet. Down 39 lbs. the only differences between me and a majority of people on here are these:

1. My surgeon was liberal with advancing my diet and I was on "regular" food after 3 weeks.

2. I made sure to eat a minimum of 800 calories per day and by 6 weeks had increased it to a steady 1100 (somedays 1000 but some 1200. 1200 is my top limit)

Find out what works for your body. Good luck!

Ok. Thank you both. I haven't tried pureeing any meats yet. Haven't been given clearance on meat from my dr yet.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
