Is anyone else having surgery in July?

@mercmerc I don't measure food in ounces because it can be confusing. 4 liquid ounces is 1/2 cup in volume, but it does not equal 4 ounces in weight for all foods. I use ounces for measuring my water consumption and nothing else. I forgot to mention another food that I'm enjoying now: egg salad (no celery yet)

Good to hear! Mine was on the 25th and I'm doing great, too. It looks like I hit the infamous "3 week stall" about 4 days ago, but I'm sticking to my plan and hoping to see a big weight loss one day soon.

Hi all, I’m four weeks post op, how much weigh are people losing in this time, just so I know I’m on track

I was doing well and then have been stalled for the last week or slightly more. I’m down about 19 maybe slightly less since surgery. What about you?

Hello@denisheri I had my surgery July 19th I'm down 51lbs since bariatric surgery. My Sw was 348. I have been having a hard time. Eating solid foods. I was instructed by my surgeon and nutritionist to start eating normal foods at 4 weeks but it gets stuck no matter how slow I eat. I try to eat tuna, shrimp, salmon and they all have me foamy and nausea and vomiting. I just get so depressed and I hate to eat. I just prefer soups and drinks. Even my premier protein gave me foamies once. I am really down a d can't even get excited about the weight loss. Trying to stay positive but I am sad.

I’ve only lost 13 lbs and have stalled the last week or so, what exercises are you doing

My surgery was July 10th. I am in San Diego. I have already hit he infamous 3 to 4 week stall. I started down the next slope. I am averaging about 4 to 6 ounce loss a day. Sound like not much but when the numbers keep dropping it makes a big difference. I have not done a before and after shot yet. I guess I am just waiting to see if I can see it in the mirror. People say I am the shrinking lady at work. But I am still wearing my same clothes as before the surgery. I am too afraid to go try on pants. Maybe in another 3 weeks. I am 7 weeks post op that will make it 10. It's great to read all your stories.

Hey since my surgery on July 17, I have lost 26 pounds, still can't eat a lot of different foods, I have my second doctor visit on Sept 18

I stalled at week 3 and 4. It was not good in Roberts household. I thought for sure I did something wrong and that the RNY was not working. It is typical to stall when you start to eat real food. Your body is trying to absorb because it has not had the food for so long. Than you wake up in the morning and PRAISE THE LORD. Happy dance down the hallway. YUP!! My hubby thought I was going off the deep end.

I had surgery on 7/12 for sleeve and then a revision on 7/15 to bypass due to scar tissue and blockage of my esophagus. Down 31 lbs so far and hit that stall for 2 weeks where nothing budged. It was about 2 weeks in and right at that time of the month so I hope it doesn't happen like that every month.

I noticed when I write down what I eat, it makes me focus on eating more. If I only eat 5 bites each time I feel full then I lose weight (without writing it all down). I also haven't been eating any carbs without eating more protein grams than the carbs so that seems to be working.

signature was looking weird

@lilybilly, you had bypass and your food is foaming? That doesn't sound like anything my Dr warned me about. I would maybe seek out another opinion. You should be able to chew and eat 3-5 bites at this point without a problem.

especially concerning that a protein shake would be causing issues...

Mine was 7/31

How r u doing, r u n your stage 2

Thanks for the encouragement! Even with just being on puréed I’ve been dealing with stalling for sure and I’ve been worrying that it didn’t work for me, that my doc didn’t make my pouch small or didn’t bypass enough intestine...I’m hoping that by 5 weeks post op on Monday maybe I’ll be over the hump...still hovering around 19-20ish pounds...
