I think she said "dumping" not "dumplings"???? Two very different things????

Hahaha! That's funny that I read "dumplings" . I'm sorry! I hope things begin to go better for you. I don't care for the fake sweetness of the protein drinks, either.

Hey August peoples... I've been stalled for about 2 weeks now. Is anyone else stalled too? I know it will pass but dang, it's really taking to wind out of my sail

Hi LxA,

I was sleeved on August 3rd. Starting weight 283lb, CW261. I've been stalled for the past 2 weeks as well.

It really is frustrating.

Me too!!!! VSG August 4... HW 240 SW 229 CW 215.....doing everything by the book.... Discouraged...

Do not get discouraged we all get a stall in our weight loss. It will start coming off again. Keep doing what you are doing????

@@bamagal76 How much Protein and fluids are you getting?? It's common to stall around this time - but be sure you are meeting your protein/fluid goals. Try changing things up a bit - add more fluids, more protein, exercise different than you have been, etc.

Ty.... That's why I love this forum... A big sisterhood (and brotherhood too!????) for encouragement ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello all! VSG on 8/15/16. Doing well finally but it was a rough couple weeks and I totally had buyers remorse for the first 2 weeks due to nausea and reflux. This week everything has finally turned around though.

I was sleeved on 8/10/16 I had serious buyers remorse too. It's getting better, not completely gone yet. I really haven't had any problems with pain or nausea. I just really miss food. Like I said it's getting better every day though.

I had band removed and sleeved in the same day. Very successful operation.

Hi! I was sleeved August 15! My dr said I could go to normal foods at 2 week- that was a mistake- everything hurt a lot so I am back to soft foods for a few more weeks. Having a hard time getting in enough Protein. Dr said get in whatever you could and I probably couldn't get 60 at this point- but everything I read online says 60 so I am trying . But to do that I would have to have two Protein shakes a day and I just can't do it. I hate them now. I can do one. I got some gene pro but it is kind of gross in drinks as well .

Ready for the energy to come back!

One of the ways I get 30 of my Protein in is to pour 1 vanilla Premier Protein, 1 cup of coffee (decaf if your Dr says no caffeine), a touch of Stevia and pour it over ice. I sip on this for a few hours. Before this I didn't care for Iced Coffee but after I forced it on myself twice, now I'm hooked and it really helps me make my daily protein goal!

I can relate. Pre op I had no problem with the shakes but post op I was having a tough time. It's like I can smell the protein. And the flavorless powders are just gross to me.

But I have to agree with @@NewAdventure2016 I do pretty much the same thing - I mix a premier Protein shake with equal parts decaf and it goes down fine. Sometimes I cut it with fairlife milk also which gives an extra protein boost.

If not for the shakes I'd not be anywhere close to my protein with the tiny amount of food I'm eating.

Good luck! Great things are coming!

I am now on puréed foods. I tried to some things I shouldn't have without puréeing. It did not go well . So I am following the Drs protocol now religiously. Starting to feel better. Losing a pound a day.
