RNY 6-10-15. SW 266. Cw 228. Down 38. I too am having trouble with non-pureed meat. Just can't handle more than an ounce or so at a meal. I like my Peanut Butter on graham crackers. I still struggle with getting enough Protein and fluids. Some days are better than others. I'll have a Protein Shake or sf hot cocoa with protein powder at night if I'm really short for the day.

Hey everyone on this post. Looks like most of us in this post had their surgery in June! Congrats everyone. Mine was the 29th. I'm feeling frustrated. Im still measuring out my foods, not cheating at all, exercise 5 days a week. 45 min treadmill and 15 on bike. 2 of those days add some weights. But that scale is so slow moving. I started 272 and only down to 255. 22 lbs. Everyone says "watch the weight fall off". Sick of it! Its not falling off! I ts seems so hard. Almost just like every other attempt. Except I can't overeat. Any words of advise from those of you its falling off of! I sure could use it!!!

I'm with you! I'm getting a bit discouraged. My scale said 2 lbs higher than last week's weigh in. I know we fluctuate through the week, it's just frustrating don't get me wrong, I see a difference from a couple months ago, but I thought it would be a little faster... eating really good, working out alot, I don't know what I'm doing wrong :(

Hey there. Whenever I have dieted in the past and get on a plateau I eat something a little carby (don't judge) to throw my body back into diet mode. Don't get me wrong, no sugar or anything but maybe a potato or something. Or go back to Protein Shakes for a day. Just a thought.

I really hate to say this but I only eservice twice a week but I'm pretty active at work 5 days a week. Maybe with all the exercise you are gaining some muscle which weights more. Have you tried measuring to see if u are losing inches? I haven't but all my clothes are getting too big. I did have a bit of a stall about 4-5 weeks out. Just my two cents :-)

The main thing that helped me get over my plateaus is Protein. I have a strict exercise schedule of 3 days a week for 2 hrs at the gym. You don't want to over-due it. Let your body have time to recover.

I had surgery almost 10 months ago, October 14, 2014. I hit my goal weight this weekend August 1,2015 (darn ticker won't update)

As far as exercise, I have always just walked. Once I could walk more I did. then after I was much closer to goal I started running. I put most my focus on diet and the weight just came off. Protein first ALWAYS, and keep up on hydration. Once the eating and hydration is good, bump up the exercise but don't go too crazy, you will have plenty of time for that ;-)

This is an encouraging thread. Loss is slower than I thought also. About 25 pounds since surgery June 16, 15. Never gone over 700 cal, or 75 carbs. I do need to step up the exercise though.

Thanks everybody.

I had surgery on 3/12/15. Went from a size 30 to a size 24. Down 80 pounds so far. Had lots of complications but I don't regret surgery. It's changed my life!

what kind of complications did you have?

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
