I am a self patient and just scheduled for June 6, 2018!!! I’m excited!

BMI: 36.35

Weight: 199

I’ve stalled for about a week now. Even gained 3 pounds then came back down 2 pounds. Might be because I now have my period heavier than. It’s been in 3 years. I eat maybe 600 calories the most but I don’t count calories I count protein and stay away from carbs and try to do 64oz of water plus 60g of protein

Hey guys take a look on a before and after face selfie. To be honest I did not notice the difference until a friend point it out.

Sorry new to this...what is a ppi??

a glorified stomach medicine. Actually stands for proton pump inhibitor, after your surgery your sleeve or pouch(in my case) will be crabby, crying its tears,of rage. Sadly it's tears are stomach acid,whic h is rough on surgically wounded surfaces so your surgeon makes sure you have this to keep from ulcers forming. I am still,PreSurgery, but already on Dexilant Most people are put on omeprazole, I'm just a little special ??,?

I ate way more than I thought was possible. Maybe it was that it took me over an hour but I ate over a cup and a half of food.

Me too! I was sleeves 6/21 and just started soft foods and I'm surprised at how much I can eat. I'm a lil worried.

I was sleeved on 6/6 and have lost 25 as well. Haven’t had a stall.

Congrats,I was sleeved 6/7, had several stalls. I just stop loosing weight for a week than I loose a couple pounds and the cycle starts again. Not sure if it is my body adjusting or I am doing something wrong. I usually eat 600 - 700 calories per day, mostly protein. I eat 3 main meals and one snack. Lost 17lbs, but 13 was in the first week and a half. Everybody says to just give time so that is what I am doing.

I was sleeved on 6/28....day 9 postop. I was 195 last Thursday and I weigh 197 today, I'm still on liquids..broth, water and sugar-free, an artificial sweetner-free drink called Bai which is only 10 calories per bottle. How is it possible that I'm gaining weight on such little. I'm a little concerned and bummed. I did have horrible diarrhea pre and postop. It stopped two days ago and now it appears I may be constipated. Ugh. Has anyone else had weight fluctuations so soon postop? I thought this is when weight would be dropping off of me. Bummed.

Thanks, doll..good advise. I will keep the weigh-ins to weekly and try to walk more.

I'm so happy! I had family in town over the holiday week, and I hosted a BBQ last night. I made chicken shawarma wraps that everyone assembled themselves, to keep it easy. After marinating boneless skinless thighs all day, and throwing them on the grill, I was successfully able to eat some of it! Everyone else had their chicken on some naan warmed on the grill and smeared with hummas, tabbouleh salad, and some tzatziki sauce. Yum!

And while I didn't eat all that, of course, I did enjoy tiny bites of that delicious chicken with some hummus and tzatziki to keep it nice and moist. It didn't get stuck and didn't make me sick! Huge blessing after everything I've been going through with the stricture or whatever is causing my swallowing issues. Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel!

Anyway, just wanted to share my little victory! ?

That's great!! I lost 13 really fast, too, then slowed down a bit. But I hit my 20 lb benchmark today! Woohoo! That's 20% of my weightloss goal in 3.5 weeks, so I ain't complaining lol!

I got tired of liquids sooo fast! Lucky for me, my doc does pretty short phases. I've had lots of complications so eating chicken was great. But dangit, I'd give anything for a cracker to crunch! ?
