Hello there,

It has been a while since my last question as I have been dealing with my ups and downs on post surgery and my struggles with what the heck to eat that doesn't look like vomit that took a spin in a blender. UGH.

I am 16 days post op. I can take liquids down just not as fast. Still struggling to hydrate and reach up to 64oz of Water (impossible right now) and still feeling my way around food but cannot eat solids yet. Still drinking the Protein shakes which I am so over about.

I have lost 15 pounds since my surgery. Weight from surgery is 253 and I am at 238 this morning. However, I have been 238 for a few days now. No changes. Apparently, there is some kind of stall going on. Not sure why, since I barely make it to 400 calories a day!

Anyone has insight on why the sudden weight loss stall? Obviously I am not over eating if I can barely make it to 400 calories, I am hydrating as much as I can, and I do my walks every day. At least 30 mins.

Sleeve veterans, please...do you know why?

I have my follow up with my surgeon tomorrow 1st time since the surgery.

Thank you! Still trying to increase water I intake and calories. Everyday struggle

heres a tip, for those who drink Protein shakes. If your mix says one scopp try using 1 1/2 or even two, while anything over 40 at a time ( grams of protein that is) wont get absorbed, theres no reason you cant take in more protein up to the max/ SO for example i use 1.5 scoops of Syntrax fuzzy navel in 5 to 6 ounces of Water. that way i get about 39 grams of protein in a 5 to 6 ounce serving, which is seriously great and if you have a hard time getting all your fluids in, this is a way to get your protein with minimal fluids ( but keep drinking fluids please!) anyway just a little tip, also use a blender or nutri ninja etc to mix your shakes, they blend better and taste better well blended. hope this helps!

You Can Do It!
