That is the stall. I started mine as soon as I started pureed foods. It lasted for 12 days then I dropped 4 lbs and am now the same for the past 4-5 days but my good old aunt is here so that could be why I'm still the same weight.

I'm at a little stall too. I've been at 219 for about 4 days. But I figured it would slow down once I started eating more than liquids. And I'm still not as active as I think I should be, so that should help once I can do that.

My surgeon also pushes the 64oz of liquids and at least 60g of Protein a day.

I am having a REALLY hard time getting in more than 32oz of liquid though!

When you're not supposed to drink for half hour before you eat and an hour after---but eat 4-6 little "meals" day?! Well, gleeps, it's like a full time job timing the drinking! And I'm already working a full time job.

But I'm trying! :wacko:

Oh, and I keep track of calories/ Protein, etc on MyFitnessPal. I'm averaging 550 calories a day. I've tried to get in more, but I just can't do it! And I just checked and I'm only averaging about 45g of Protein. Gleeps.

Ugh...lunch is not setting well. Nauseous.. :blush: Not sure if it was the mayo, cream cheese, or I just didn't chew enough. Hope this passes soon!

I haven't started tracking my calories yet. I do get in 1 Protein Drink a day of the GENEPRO, my nut says that's enough. Plus I get in at least 32 oz of liquids. I try for 64 but it doesn't always happen. I don't wait a whole hour after eating. I wait about 30-45 minutes depending on how I'm feeling. At work its hard to get in all my fluids, I do try though. And I had to switch up my Vitamins so I can get them all in. I take all but my Calcium before work, then on my 2 breaks that are usually 3 hours apart I take my Calcium. It's working so far.

I've been tracking calories for so long, I'm just used to it. It's nice now to see the scale moving. The My Fitness Pal website and Fitbit website I'm on was always saying I should be losing weight, according to my activity and eating. BUT I NEVER LOST ANYTHING! (obviously, before surgery☺)

I have one Vitamin that I have to take 4 times a day. It's called optisource. Then a Vit B1 ( I take mid morning) Vit D later in the day and Calcium I've been taking in the evening.

I usually don't wait that full hour either--I'm so used to drinking with my meal. I'm sure if I could drink closer to the 64oz my bowels would be a little happier. I'm going about once a day now, but I was used to going 3-4 times with no problems before surgery. (with the Magnesium Vitamins I was taking--I can't take them anymore)

Hehee, isn't it crazy how full we get! I love it, yet when something doesn't set well, I hate that it seems like I'm doomed the rest of the day. It's like I'm afraid to eat again for fear it'll make me sick again.

Question!

I had BAD reflux and hiatal hernia before surgery. But about 3-4 weeks before surgery it had actually calmed down ALOT.

Well, it's BAD again! I had been told with the RNY it pretty much assures you that you won't have reflux?! I'm not over-eating.

I'm on 40mg of omeprazol a day, plus prescription Pepcid. I'm not sure if it's just still swelling in there or what.

My surgeon did say I'd have to be on omeprazole for the rest of my life because I have Barrett's Esophagus. (caused by food getting constantly stuck when I had the lapband and I had to throw it up almost daily)

But I'm really hating waking up all through the night with that nasty feeling in my throat.

*note, I'm sleeping with the head of the bed raised, on my back, with 3 pillows still.

Any suggestions?

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
