How are you doing?



I'm good. I'm going for my follow up with my surgeon on Tuesday to get cleared for work. Getting the puréed foods down is still difficult. I get a lot of bubbles / air and it makes me feel like I need to burp. Ugh [emoji58] but I'm not gonna complain I lost 30 lbs but now the past 4 days have weighed in the same every day. I heard it's common to plateau after surgery a little and then start losing again.

How's everything with u

Hi! I am 4 days post op. I have been working to add in more Protein in the non-protein foods like Jello. The Protein Powder I have is terrible! No flavor is a lie! It becomes thick and sticky/ any suggestions on best types of non-flavored protein powders?




I'm allowed to have flavored so I have vanilla. chocolate and strawberry EAS whey 2 scoops per shake. Low carb and 30 grams protein. It's delicious with almond milk and a banana all mixed in the ninja.

Glad your doing ok, the trapped air must be so uncomfortable, I heard about the plateaus too they seem very common.

Day 5 I'm drinking good... a little scary. I'm not sipping!!! My BT told me to sip sip, shorten time until I cannot tolerate and now I'm scared! I'm taking regular drinks!! I'm the complete opposite! Any ideas on my situation?! I'm so scared I stretched myself out! At first I said cool... then I said oh crap!

Hey bambam, me too! (11days post op) I feel amazing, though today I'm a tired so I'm taking in easy. I sip, but I can sip pretty fast. Meaning I can drink my Pure Protein Shakes in no time flat, less than 5 mins. When I take my pills in the morning, I take a little more Water 💦 Goes down so easy. I do have some extra gas in my stomach when I drink my 9oz. of Bone Broth. Next Wednesday Aug. 3rd I have my first post-op with my surgeon. 👨🏻‍⚕️I will be asking lots of questions. The following day (post-op day 15) I start soft foods and I am looking forward to that. I walk for about 3 miles every other day. I can wait to get into the pool 🏊 at 30 days post-op.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
