I'm eating cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper and lettuce. But I've tried a little cabbage and carrot and my belly hinted it was not yet time. Celery has not been appealing yet. My surgeon said to hold off on the harder things until 6 weeks and then try them weekly. Last week I had seared tuna and could eat that no problem but then I had tuna poke and my belly suggested it was not fully ready. So we'll hold off on Sushi for a bit longer. Nothing huge or incredible happened - it was just a little gnawing that it was taking a bit more work than other things. I haven't been getting too excited because by the time I get my Protein in my "belly budget" is near full and there's not a lot of room left for other things. Indian food was AWESOME - we did need to adjust the spice as I don't get rice or bread but my tummy was totally ready for the bit of increased spice. I was able to try a bit of everything and didn't feel cheated and I was able to eat on my left overs for 2 days.

fruit I've been eating. One of those big Honeycrisps is 4 servings for me and if I slice it thin I can eat the skin no problem. Haven't tried orange type fruit yet. Strawberries are a-ok and bananas (ok 1/2 a banana at a time) has been on the menu since mushies.

I went for my 8 week on Tuesday and my surgeon said not to worry too much about the fruits and veggies right now as I'm on my supplements and my body can make the carbs and fats I need. That I just need to focus on getting in the protein and Water as my body can't make that and would take what it needs from my muscle mass - and my muscles are what I'm not trying to loose! She said my 1000-to 1100 calories were good but not to go below 800 and if it varied in that range it was ok.

My weightloss has been slower. There was a 3 week stall around week 3. But my surgeon said I was still on track and where I should be. I'm glad she gave me my little gold star because watching everyone else I was feeling a bit left behind. Even though I'm meeting things in my closet I haven't met in years. I'm sure I've said "How YOU doin?" in my best Joey voice at least 50 times when I discover an old favorite.

OH and the super cool part - no more metformin and no more blood pressure medication!

I was sleeved Dec 29th. I have been stuck at the same weight 3 weeks. So frustrated! I have only lost 20 since the surgery. I did not have much to lose. I was a revision from the lapband. Start 207 now 187. Goal 155. I use the fit bit very easy to track and hit my goals. But the scale.....it's being stubborn! Any suggestions?

Lynziv....I have been at a stall for 6 weeks. Going to see the nutritionist next Friday. For now she told me to up my cals to 1200 and at least 48oz of Water. Which is hard because I don't have an appetite, trying hard to make myself eat. Hope it pass soon, I am getting very depressed. Good Luck

I just brok through a barrier myself today. I had been sitting at this weight for 3wks too. I was told to up my Water and Protein ( which pushed up my calories) and finally the scale moved. So stalls happen. Change things up and trust the surgery. Have you been loosing inches? I lost inches during the stall.

Good luck

I have not been tracking inches. Booo to me I know. So will up protien and Water and see if that works

[PaulaleeB 88]

I hope it works for you. And measure those inches now! Because, I'm sure your inches are heading down from wherever they are at this moment. Happy loosing
