Checking to see if anyone from September is still here and how you are doing. How's your weight loss at this stage?

I had my 3 month appt today (my actual 3 months is Christmas Eve). Everything went well. Doctor is happy with my weight loss and said their expectation is 4-6 pounds a month. It was nice to find out what they think is good. I have been averaging 2-3 pounds per week and I'm happy that it's been steady.

I throw up a few times per week. Just when I think I can tolerate something, everything changes. I had salmon on Saturday with no issues and had leftovers that I took to work today. Today the 2 oz of salmon made me sick. I still haven't figured everything out. Right now I can tolerate around 2-3 oz. I feel like I have the same restriction that I had when I first started regular food.

Things I can't eat:

bread

Pasta

fried foods

pizza without the crust

salmon

Yeah, I know I shouldn't be eating most of those things to begin with. That's why it's good news that I get a negative reinforcement when I tried them.

Things I can eat:

chocolate - darn it!

lettuce

celery

My doctor said that the honeymoon phase is the first year. I've read that it's the first 6 months. Anyone want to weigh in on this? Of course I'd be happy if it is a year.

I was sleeved 9/30 and I'm 55 lbs down! Doing great! Never get sick but I follow my instructions to the t and measure everything I eat.

I'm 3 months post op and have lost 55 lbs so far....tolerating most everything but am sticking to high protein low carb. I've hit a stall this week though:(

I am 12 weeks today and am down 60 pounds. YAY!! I was sleeved September 17th and really haven't had any problems so far so I feel very happy with my progress. I'm like everyone else though and wish it was faster lol

At my appt. yesterday w/ the vascular surgeon I was down 48lbs. I'm hoping to hit 50 by my 3mnth appt Friday.

As for foods, I can tolerate anything. I had a few bites of potatoes, but I haven't tried Pasta, rice or bread.

i can eat all the foods you can't lol I've lost 50 pounds this is my 3 month anniversary .. I'm kind of upset because I actually gained last week about 4 pounds but everyone I spoke to that had the surgery says that's normal because I'm eating more Protein... I couldn't eat anything when I first came home from the hospital or drink anything so now that I'm adding small amounts it seems like my body is holding on tight... my surgery was September 23rd and thus far as of this morning I had lost 50 pounds... a week ago I had lost 54 so I'll take it but I'm going to have to work harder... it looks like my body is trying to save everything that goes in my mouth
