Its been a while since I posted. I been on the phase 3 soft foods for over a week now. Is it only me that only eat maybe once a day approximately 4-6 bites, and a Protein Shake. Is that normal?

I can't eat very much either. I am doing good to get two bites of egg for Breakfast, a bite of yogurt for lunch and then about two bites of creamed Soup for dinner. I was sleeved on 9/3. Nothing tastes good and most everything makes me nauseous. I am just pushing Water and sugar free popsicles...trying to stay hydrated.

So ridiculously excited. My mom is discarding some clothes that are too big for her and has insisted I try them on. I fit into a 1X t-shirt pre-op that she was insistent on, and today fit into an XL cami. That was exciting. I have been wearing 4X, sometimes 3X, forever! Yay! Also bought a couple of 2X activewear tanks.

I am starting on the soft stag ruby there is no way I can eat enough to get in the needed Protein. I scrambled 2 eggs today with some cottage cheese And could only eat 1/2. On this stage I am not suppose to drink Protein Drinks. Anyone else have this issue

I can only eat one egg. Normally I add cheese. I probably should get some cottage cheese in stead of cheddar. I had no issues with gas pain until 2 days ago. I was totally caught off guard, with this pain. But it comes with this process :/

Good morning all,

I am 27yrs old from Chicago, Illinois. I had The Sleeve surgery / VSG in September 2012, two years ago. It was the best decision I've ever made, no regrets at all! I started at 248lbs and currently weigh 150lbs. I stopped losing weight after one year, but I've maintained a healthy BMI.

To everyone who has had weight loss surgery; you know how amazing it is, even through our struggles. To those of you who are awaiting surgery; be patient.. It will be one of the greatest things you have ever done. GOOD LUCK!!! :) And also, don't let anyone tell you it's an easy way out. Once in a while, I still battle those junk food cravings.

I wish you all the best in the world!!!!

thank you for this motivation!

i don't think so. I'm suppose to eat every 3 hours- 2-4 oz.

What is ur prescribed eating schedule from ur doctor? I set my phone alarm for 7 am, 10, 1pm, 4, 7 and 10 pm. I'm 3 weeks post surgery tomorrow ( sleeved 9/16) 1st week was really difficult n started purées for 2nd n 3rd week.

Are u measuring everything u try n eat? If not, That might help. Otherwise I would def call ur doctor . I still don't get everything in, n it def depends on thickness and texture . How about everyone else?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
