We are beginning week 4! Many of you have continued onto soft food, some of us are in puree land. How is everyone's incisions feeling? Most of mine are healed, however I have my biggest one not wanting to heal up and it still has a warm to the touch scab. Otherwise I'm quite pleased with how the others look. Better than when I had my gallbladder out!

I need to start working on supplements, I haven't really been doing that yet. I need to go through my paperwork and figure all that out. I keep forgetting to take the PPI granules in the morning. I don't have issues with acid so I seem to forget about it, but I know our sleeves are more sensitive to ulcers so I must remember tomorrow!!

Here is our group tally!

Here is my 3 week diet

Here is my 3 week diet

It says 1-week post op at the top and this looks like what I was on for the 1st week. I had a hard time with eggs when I ate them in the first week though. 3 spoonfulls gave me the "stuck" feeling. Also, I always get greek yogurt with fruit. At that time I was eating 600 or less calories a day so I don't see the harm in a greek yogurt with 130-150 calories!

I seem to be hungry all the time . Still on soft foods

The part of stomach that signals hunger was taken out is what Dr advised. So I can say i have not been... But I have been bored and instead getting a snack I did something else like go of walk or make small protein drink.

He told me broth then soft foods for the 3 week and next month I will be on hard foods crab meat shrimp

DSMCasey it's not the calories in the Greek yogurt but the FRUIT is what they don't want. Could get stuck. Make sene?

Tomorrow is my 1 month surgery date and I've been stalled for 5 days. I've lost 17 pounds since surgery and I have no idea what's wrong. I start my day with a Protein shake, take all of my Vitamins, drinks lots of Water, and I'm only eating meat and some lo-cal cheese for meals and Snacks. I'm taking in no carbs, walk every day and not losing weight. I'm ready to go back to liquids and call my Nut for help.

Anyone else having problems? My doctor wants me to lose 40 pounds in 3 months and I'm not feeling like I'm on track.

Ahh makes sense. I haven't had any issues with that ever though. I really like the Muller Fruit in the corner (you can get coupons for this and its cheaper than chobani), I also like the chobani 100 calorie greek yogurt and the chobani fruit in the bottom 130 calories.

The only "stuck" issues I have are with Pasta of any kind, very hard/dense Proteins such as pork chops (I haven't even tried steak yet!), breads of any kind including corn and flour tortillas.

On a side note I had a small chili from Wendy's today for lunch, I even got cheese on it to up the Protein a little. For 250 calories it was a full meal that wasn't too bad (you can get it with 170 calories if you don't get the cheese). Definately a meal I will go back to when I'm out and about with nothing super healthy to eat.

If this is ur first stall it's ok! I had a stall at week 3 lost nothing for 8 days!! And then weighed self and had lost like 5pounds so don't panic yet ... If ur doing everything u should do then t will come off ur body is just storing it at the moment

Woooooo dsmcasey, you are a while small chili from Wendy's?? Takes 2-3 meals for me to finish off one

@@hrhlaurie, I'm having the same problem. When I weighed on Monday I was down 16lb from surgery, and only four of those sixteen were from the past two weeks. I'm also doing really well on Protein and fluids, so I don't know what gives, but as long as we stick to the plan, there's no way it won't come off, even if it's slow.

I had been hoping to be able to get a super short haircut (like an undercut or something - think David Lynch (or Miley Cyrus, ugh)) when the hair loss starts, but now I'm not sure if I will have lost enough. We'll see.
