That's awesome! 66lbs in only 3 months?! Way to go! I'm not at that point yet (my surgery is the 23rd of December) but I've been keeping a binder of recipes for when I get to the solid food phase. I like a lot of the things on ''The World According to Eggface'' website as well as a recipe i found for zucchini fetticine. If u google it, i'm sure it'll come up.

Anyhow, congrats again and keep up the great work. Can't wait to join you on the losers bench :)

Hello Gabbs,

I'm impressed with your weight loss. I was sleeved on 09/18 and have now lost 42 pounds. HOWEVER, I had a stall which lasted for two weeks at three weeks after surgery and I've just come out of a stall that lasted five, yes five, weeks. I count myself lucky as I did not put on any weight during my stalls. I stayed positive.

Eating, well that is still a struggle. chicken, bread, vegetables are all no-nos. Fish, especially salmon, is good along with mashed potato. It is still very much trial and error with me. Homemade Soup is good.

This week, after my five week stall, I've lost six pounds which I'm delighted with. The world according to egg face is a brilliant site and it will give you plenty of ideas. You must have been doing something right to lose your 66 pounds. Keep up the good work!

Hi Gabbs,

I'm 13 weeks out and have lost 49 post op, 92 total. At this point I'm eating lots of chicken, ham, cheeses, yogurt, Atkins bars, hummus with sliced cucumbers and grape tomatoes, fish, Beans and eggs. Just introduced a little fruit - no more than 1 per day. Also introduced Special K Protein Cereal and Kashi Go Lean cereal for high protein breakfasts that are something other than eggs. Still work in Protein Shakes too. Generally 750-800 calories per day with around 60 carbs and 60-80 grams of protein per day. I avoid sugar, Pasta, rice, corn, bread/crackers and potatoes like the plague. I don't tolerate tougher meat such as roast beef well - make me nauseated. Congrats to you!!!

Hey! Thanks for responding. And congrats, 92 lbs is AMAZING!! I try to eat enough chicken but I don't eat as often as I did before surgery. Fish is my go to source. My doctor told me to stay away from Atkins Protein Bars but that was in the beginning. I haven't had any kind of cereal since surgery but I am willing to try it except my stomach screams at the thought of dairy products. My doc says I may have developed an intolerance. I eat cheese because of the protein but I may also pay for it later. (It doesn't always happen which is weird.) I haven't tried beef but I wanted to try it because the high amounts of protein it has. I can tolerate Pasta but no rice and bread is iffy sometimes. I mainly eat tuna fish with crackers. I drink mainly Water and flavored coconut waters (which contain sugar but not enough to make me crave it.) I will double check with my doc about Atkins bars because the thought of a Protein shake me queasy! Hahaha! Thanks again for responding and congrats keep up the amazing work.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
