I'm still on full liquid but struggling to drink even that. Haven't found a good Protein I like yet. But I do get my fluids in. I go back to work tomorrow. Not sure I feel about that just yet.

Stats:

-5 pounds pre op

- 15 pounds week one

- 3 pounds week two (time of month)

23 pounds total

How are you guys doing?

i had mine dec. 31st and am also going back to work after a 2 week recovery, im not sure how thats going to go either, im gettimg liquids in okay i just cant stomach the protein shakes and drinks. strange because i liked them all before surgery. i made some cream of potato soup amd am.sneeking the protein powder in there, dont know what else to do, today im going to try to sneak it in pudding? but im already down 12 pounds since surgery day and know i need to get that protein in for healing and continued weight loss

I was sleeved 20th .. I have lost 35 total. Since dec 15. I had a 5 day liquid fast. This week has been a struggle for me when I got home from my 2 day hospital stay I am sure I over did it . My best friend and I had surgery on the same day / same doc she is up now running around feeling good .. I am not . I'm sure I tore something internal I hurt when sitting or standing I can't sit for long at all . I'm exhausted. And the last 4 days I have been 256 .. 255..266...255 .. . Idk why it just is . I do best with protein drinks in no tolerating food well it seems .. I'm assuming this is the "starter stall " I've been told of . I see my surgeon tomorrow .. Hope he doesn't team me to much . I am not anywhere near going back. Sad cause I thought I would be

Not feeling my best yet...but happy to be 26 lbs down since surgery. Can't get in all my fluids and almost puke at the sight of a protein shake! ????

I prefer my doctor's scale over mine so I'm going to wait to weigh myself until I go back there. I know I am losing because my clothes are getting very loose. My surgery was December 18th. I returned to work this past Monday. I feel pretty good but am getting tired of drinking water. I'm adding lemon into it for now. I have started eating solids this past week, but am having a hard time with some foods. I do ok on fish and ground beef, like meatballs, it seems but not chicken or eggs. To get my protein, I am relying on at least two shakes a day, I like EAS protein as well as OhYeah shakes and protein-enriched hot chocolate.

I took a leap of faith today. I purged my closet of the largest sized clothing (26). I decided to do it considering the weight I've lost already and that since returning to work I experimented with wearing some blouses that had gotten too tight. It was definitely my first NSV.
