Anyone scheduled for sleeve in late Dec? Mine is on Dec 26, and I’d love to be in touch with others going through it with me.

I’m 10 days and only down 7 lbs. I was down 10 at 7 days but then I gained 3 lbs. at first I thought it was just water weight, but it’s stuck for three days, so I have no idea what’s going on. There should be no way I could gain weight on a liquid diet!

I feel the same , I've been on liquid diet since 12/25 , surgery 12/29 and lost 14 lbs and yesterday was st a birthday party ate a spoon or 2 of mash potatoes ( hurt like crazy later) and a 5 oz glass of wine ( please don't judge) and gained 2 lbs[emoji849] it sucks . My doctor said I can start mushy food , it's difficult like hell to eat even s spoon and if I do , I'm up a pound [emoji15].

Dont weigh yourself so often. Your body will go up and down it isnt going to just be a straight drop off. Dont worry.

My name is Jon and I'm 35. Had my surgery on 12/19. My doctor requested that I do the pre-op diet starting right after Thanksgiving since my BMI was so high. It was at 66. My weight was at 469. Got down to 427 before surgery. I'm at around 400 now and I've been lingering there for a few days. I don't know if that is a cause for concern or not. I'm on the soft foods portion of my post-op diet process.

I had surgery 12/27. Surgery weight was 245 and im 231 now. I have followed the full liquid diet as of now but i am struggling to drink and eat enough. I dont have an appetite. I am really hating the protein shake after taste and honestly i prefer to not eat but i push myself to least get 60g of protein with shakes. I also bought isopure protein drink in different flavors with 40g protein and i drink it cold. Just started creme of wheats and its ok. I dont have any issues drinking only thing that is happening lately after i eat creamy watery soup is hiccups. I have to regularize my breathing to stop hiccups. Lets stay motivated and keep encouraging each other..

Probably up from the wine, but man I bet you had a good buzz!! Lol. I’m too scared to drink right now lol. Don’t worry it’ll probably be gone tomorrow.

I kind of feel the same and yes the buzz was great[emoji7] but felt guilty with every dip. And the gas after that was wohhhhh!!!
Regrettted it though [emoji4]

So I started my unflavored protein powder yesterday and my stomach has been torn up. I’m thinking it’s the milk part and I might have to get a plant based protein powder. Anybody else have problems with the whey protein?

Have u tried using baby spoons? Maybe ur spoonfuls are too normal size. Try smaller spoonfuls or just dip ur spoon into whatever ur eating instead of spooning it out like regular. Hope that helps.

I've literally been taking baby bites eating with teaspoon or just licking [emoji4]

Since the 28th I’ve lost 14 lbs. on my full liquid diet right now and have head hunger but rarely have actual hunger

I had my surgery on 12/26, and I'm down 12 lbs. since then. My stomach has been bothering me more the last two days, but I am still trying to get in a walk a day to keep active.

These posts worry me a little. I’m 8 days out and I can gulp water, feel little restriction and there hasn’t been a single food that has caused me any problems. The only effect from the surgery that I feel is lack of hunger. This may sound great to you if you are having difficulties, but I wonder if this surgery may not work for me. Is that possible? I have not eaten much and have been pretty good on my diet, so I’m good so far, but...

Water is the only thing I can get down easily. I don’t really get hungry, but I feel my stomach gurgle when it’s about time for me to eat. I eat very little and very slowly. A few things haven’t sat well, and they came right back up.

Are you having trouble keeping food down? What happens? I'll trade you...Im starving! [emoji23]

I’m keeping down most things! I just have to eat very slowly and chew chew chew chew. A few things have come back on me!

Don’t stress too much. Everybody is different.
