What was your most difficult hurdle to overcome once you had surgery?

FOR THE BEST!!!!

I don't think it was one major thing :

Time management of getting all the fluids and Protein sources in. What I didn't realize is that it would become more possible over time. I still struggle sometimes but I track and use alarms.

Not to sound high and mighty (because I'm not) but Im so grateful I don't have food issues like cravings, I can't imagine how rough that would be.

If it's off plan (within reason ) I don't even come close. I even went as far as to sneak protein chips into the movie theater (shhhhh don't tell)

If I'm hungry while out and can't find anything plan approved I buy a Protein Shake, a juicebar smoothie that will have protein, unsweetened drink or coffee and work on hydration until I get home.

But I really need to work on eating dense Proteins, I'm choosing easier ones (like egg and cheese ) because they are ... easy

but according to my NUT that doesn't help my system go back to normal

Realizing my journey will never be like the rapid weight loss stories I hear about. So far absolutely no complications. But I stall often and lose slowly. I started at 249 and now im at 209 at 2 months post op. Slow but I hope steady. I could live with that.

I hope that helps

Thanks!!! But I meant to write my starting weight was 249 surgical weight was 238.

Also I had a sleeve not a RNY, so our situations will not be similar. You will loss faster and go into maintenance sooner. I have about 16 months more months of slow weight loss ahead of me...

@tealael that is amazing! Keep up the good work. Now since I just had my surgery I am finding that the fluids are hard to intake and now I'm in so much pain all I do is sleep and walk around the house and I get upset because I want to do more! But I will slowly get there!

I am 11 days out and starting phase 3 this weekend. On my 1st pre-op visit (8 days after surgery), the doc gave me the okay to start incorporating soft foods, but I decided to ease my way into that phase. Started out with eating a couple 1" noodles (chicken noodle Soup - no chicken), then yesterday I added zucchini strips to my soup. So far so good. I am down 16 lbs since surgery day weight.

That is so good! Keep up the good work. I can't eat Pasta or bread on stage 3 so hopefully this is gonna stick and I can stay off of the pasta and bread items. I really can't eat the veggies and fruits now. Fruits only if they have no seeds or skins and veggies if it's those steam bag veggies. I can't keep anything down. Well since I started stage 3 I only added eggs and I can't keep it down. So idk what is going on. This whole 30 min wait to eat or drink is driving me CRAZY! But it's just been 3 days. We can keep this up!

I have read alot about the fluids being hard to intake. Is it because you're still hungry? Is the pain that bad? It looks as though its laparoscopic surgery.

      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...

      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
