Recommended Posts

@@CanadaLoser I haven't had surgery but have read several people that have had similar issues. Do you have anything to take for nausea. If not - I'd ask your Dr. for something so you can at least get your fluids in before you get dehydrated. Hopefully someone who has been through this can comment on what to do from a food perspective. Good luck.

well based on comments I'm not alone in this WL Stall!!

I too was sleeved on 3/28 and have gained and lost the same 2 pounds every 3-4 days :(

I have only getting 50-60 grams of Protein so I think that may be my issue, the Water is hard to get in also

grrr!!

I will add another Protein Shake and Report my status soon, Have a great night all!!

I was sleeved 3/28. The last two weeks ive been losing like 2 to 3 lbs per week.. is this normal? Before i was losing a pound per day. For those of you not stalling, whats your average weight loss per eeek right now? Also, im still confused how eating more Protein aka eating more food will help me lose weight.. never worked before lol!

That seems like a good amount to me. Slow and steady is better then rapid weight loss. [emoji3]

63lbs down since the start of my pre-op liquids. As my portion sizes are starting to get a little bigger I've cut back to one Protein shake a day.

Stalled for like 2 weeks, then lost, then stalled. Seems I may have lost this week but timid to get excited about it. Time will tell what the scales say in a couple of days - if it is the same or less than what it was yesterday.

I'm down 51lbs and loving it. I suck at following the diet and measuring food. Lol. And no workouts because of an ankle injury. I still move a lb. half lb a day etc. no significant stall yet. Glad everyone is doing well!

I weighed in at 200.8 this morning, tantalizingly close to the 100's again. Total of 34 pounds lost. :lol:

Finding that I have a few food sensitivities, mainly related to pork products. Bacon is a definite no for me! Even a tiny bite caused nausea, pain, and dumping. <_<

Almost everything else is going quite well. I'm proud of myself that it's been over 2 months without caffeine and I'm sleeping better because of it. Believe me, it's been a challenge given that I work rotating shifts, but I don't like coffee or tea, so kicking the soda habit has meant kicking the caffeine habit for me!

24th for me. Feeling hungry and hate the shakes...also having a lil depression which is very out of character for me. Have been tired too.

chicken and shrimp have been my go-to Proteins. Marinate chicken in something you like...can eat that throughout the day. That and cottage cheese. Have developed a love for that, not sure why though.

6-800 depending on what I've eaten that day. I do most cheeses full-fat. Reduced cottage cheese I like, and I've always used 2% milk. I stick to plan and prioritize Protein, but I will have some less optimal items, like corned beef hash, or have some bread crumbs on my fish.

So far I haven't had issues with any food.

Haven't really thought about calories, but do think about Protein. Try to eat my Proteins first - primarily chicken, fish, shrimp etc. Avoid red meat (though I have had some meatloaf...yummy). Then work on veggies. Used to eat all of the broccoli or asparagus, now I find myself cutting just the tops off to eat.

My downfall has been mashed potatoes - sweet and regular. Enjoy those probably more than I should when they are with a meal. Also exercise. I need to get more than I am, just hard to get out and do it. I live in the Houston area where it has been raining the last 2 weeks so that has been a convenient excuse....an excuse, non the less. I think that is something I need to more much more effort into.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
