That's funny so is mine. What types of things have you been eating?

Fish and shrimp with veggies. I had a few French fries because I was too lazy to cook but nothing worse than that. I'm still only able to eat a few bites of whatever I eat so I'm surprised to see the scale go up. Maybe I'm not taking in enough Water.

Have you experienced any weight gain since your girlfriend came?

I am down 19 pounds since surgery; however, my weight has been at a standstill for the past 5 days.

3/15/16 Sleeve Surgery Here.

I've hit a weight loss slow already and having trouble getting everything in that they want me to ... Protein, Water, even food. My "menu" shows 1/4 Protein, 1/8 cup starch & 1/8 cup fruit or veg. and I can only get at most 1/2 of that in.

Of note ... do not attempt carbonation - I did at a bull roast and ended up in the bathroom throwing up bubbles.

I have lost 36 lbs so far including some on the pre-surgery liquid diet.

My starting weight was a healthy but fluffy 330.

I've reached my first goal of pre-kids weight and under 300 lbs ... I am now at 294.

I set goals in my mind by 10 lbs because each time I drop 10 I feel I've accomplished a lot.

My overall goal is 145-165 ... I have a long, long road ahead.

Thoughts, comparison, tips welcome.

Also I'm getting ready to switch to Isopure clear protein - I'm sick of flavors and I think that is part of my intake hurdle.

Need a better Vitamin though ... doc wanted me to take flintstone complete ... I'm on opurity optimized for bypass and sleeve. I'm sick of this taste too. I'm thinking of a liquid to get it down and done. Thoughts?

And finally, congratulations to everyone for taking this journey ... it's not easy but it will be worth it. I'm happy there are support groups and tons of resources for us all. Knowing your not alone makes a huge difference. :)

Have a great day!

I understand your dilemma. I'm in the same boat. I just ordered some flavorless Protein to help me reach my Protein goals. I haven't been able to consistently meet any of mine either. I don't know if that the reason for my slow weight loss.

I wish us all much success. I'm sure we things will get better. It's a major adjustment to make and we are just beginning a long journey.

My nutritionist told me 99% of us will experience a weight loss stall at the 3 week mark. Just to drink enough Water and try to get in my Protein. I too got some unflavored Protein. So sick of the flavored shakes. I get to start soft foods Wednesday!!! So excited about that. I'm over puréed foods to the point I want to gag. I've lost 32 lbs as of this morning. Still a LONG way to go! I'm taking the flintstones complete and added Biotin this week too to help with hair loss later on. We got this!!!

I'm adding Biotin this week as well. I'm hoping my Dr releases me to work out at my appt. Wednesday. I'm sure that will help!! I'm down 28 lbs as of this morning. It's really showing in my face. Hopefully the rest of me will catch up soon.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
