Oh my goodness. Scrambled egg, a little cheese, a little mayo and saracha. It was like eating a egg sandwich without the bread. Tasted so freaking good. It's the little things lol

I am about 3 weeks out and have been fine up until yesterday and now everything and anything i eat except popsicles makes me feel sick. Anyone else experiencing/experienced this?

I am two weeks out and at my first stall. I have lost 17 pounds since surgery. Nothing more for three days. 25 since I started this journey. Still gave massive troubles with Constipation. I am on probiotic, stool softeners, prune juice and taking Fiber. Hopefully when I start soft foods this week that will straighten out. I don't plan to weigh now for a week because I have heard you can gain when stating soft foods. That would be depressing

Glad to hear I am on track with everyone else with pounds loss

@@jstrong630 Totally normal. Mine hit 2 weeks out. Your sense of smell and taste have changed and so the foods you think you like are no longer appealing to your senses which causes the nausea. As does eating the same flavors day in and day out.

I'm 2 weeks out, and lost 15 pounds so far. I also have Constipation but I'm afraid to use any stool softener by mouth. I'm using glycerine suppositories, but they do nothing. I'm thinking to have some prune juice but I'm afraid my stomach cannot hold fibers yet.

I am four weeks out an still having trouble with Constipation as well. My doc said to use milk of magnesia. It works but almost too well. I want to try prune juice too.

Why are our sentences being cut off?

I've been having problems with Constipation too. I'm going today to get some stool softener so I can go with the struggle.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
