Please tell me what you are/were consuming 16 days or so after surgery…I am hungry, I have a plain yogurt mixed with a blended fruit one, a Protein shake or 2 a Soup or 2

probably 6-800 calories but hungry all the time and I feel like I am having too much. I have lost about 13-16 pounds since surgery day and feel the scale is not moving. WED will be 3 weeks since surgery.

What did your Nutritionist tell you? Everyone's plan is different. 16 days after surgery I was on solid food eating chicken and steak and ground beef with green Beans and zucchini.

Are you drinking the 64 oz of Water a day so you are not mistaking thirst for hunger?

I am 9 days out from VGS and am on a liquid diet until day 21. I can have Clear liquids and Protein shakes. No yogurt. I am so tired of drinking. I am not ready for meat, but a yogurt or watered down oatmeal would be great. I am only getting 500-600 calories a day and my body has slowed the weight loss because it is in starvation mode. Difficult when you are consuming so little and the scale barely moves. Physically the surgery was much easier than I anticipated, but it is a mental roller coaster

I did alot of scrambled eggs. And refried beans.

Am on day 9 as well. Was on water, diluted juice and clear broth till today. Today I was cleared for Yogurt and milk, low fat. In 5 more days I could have puddings. My doc told me no protein shakes till 3 weeks post op. Every doctor has a system..

New beginnings, we are about the same age (I am Jan 66) and I think we were both sleeved on the 29th. All the best! I lost around 18 pounds since surgery. Not much pain either and started working (albeit shorter days) from day 5 post op. How are you doing?

I have a question . I had a cup of dry corn flakes do you think that will prevent the surgeon from doing my gastric sleeve surgery which is tomorrow ?

Yes. Corn flakes or any food is a no no the day before surgery. It should be clear liquids only. Make sure you tell your surgeon before the procedure

I felt the same way always hungry I couldn't do the shakes no more I would get sick so I'm on a soft protein diet

I have been trying to increase my calories because my weight loss stopped with 600 calories. Some days 800-900 is easy, some days I just can't. The weight is coming off still but slower than I though for the calories I am eating. I am 20 lbs down since my surgery, loss 1/2 of that the week.

my doc said nothing after 6p the day before surgery. What were your instructions..?

I'm a month out from surgery and I feel like I stopped losing weight I'm eating and drinking everything they told me to and it just seems like I'm stuck. Has anyone else have this problem and I'm even working out 2 hrs a day. Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks

my 3rd week was a plateau, weight stayed unchanged for 8 days. Now losing again, down a good 30 pounds since surgery. (Start weight 265 lbs and BMI 38). Good luck!

I stopped losing for 7 or 8 days around 3 weeks. The infamous 3 week stall..Google it. It will last for a week or two the the weight comes off again. No worries!

I am 2.5 weeks out of surgery and have lost 29 lbs including pre op diet. I am so tired of protein shakes, that they make me sick. I have no hunger at all and its all I can do to make myself eat anything. Is anyone else going thru this?

I thought day before surgery it's clear liquids only. Not even protein shakes. What were your instructions? You have to tell your doctor now to see if it's still ok.

Well I know I'd love to lose 29 lbs in 2.5 weeks! Wow congrats. And protein shakes made me gag. I went to eat scrambled eggs and doused unflavored protein on everything so o can avoid the shakes
