Did you do measurements? Honestly that’s the only thing that kept me semi sane when the scale wasn’t movingOn 07/12/2018 at 12:22, ALFxRNY said:
Glad you’re losing! I’m 2 weeks post op and not really losing at all. I got rid of all of the 10lbs water/gas weight I gained post op but have only truly lost 3lbs so far. Trying not to be discouraged by the scale not budging ???♀️
Breakfast- 1/2 bottle of Lean Body Protein shake (40g of protein per bottle)On 07/12/2018 at 14:07, Little Kansas Kitty said:
I'm sure we'll experience a loss soon? We have to! I'm sure our bodies are just in starvation mode right now. What is your diet like right now? I'm curious about everybody. I'm feeling a little more hungry today as I haven't had much food at all post-op. I do fill fast though. I'm planning on adding another Protein Shake per day to the below:
Water - 45ish ounces per day - trying to drink as much as possible
Breakfast - 1 Premier Protein shake
lunch - maybe like a 3/4 cup Creamy Soup - strained
dinner - 2 oz. low sugar Yogurt
Lunch - tuna and potatoes or soup
Dinner usually about the same as lunch lol
As for water I’m still struggling to do even 30 oz
As much as I used to obsessively measure myself, I not only forgot to do preop measurements but I haven’t measured myself at all! I probably really need to. Thanks for the reminder to do so!On 07/12/2018 at 15:10, Jessbear345 said:

@Jessbear345 - your tuna and soup sound yummy! I'm excited to graduate to puree's in a couple days.
@ALFxRNY - I feel you on the stall. I E-Mailed my doctor's office to see if they could send me my measurements they took in the office because I too have not been measuring. Great tip and reminder though because although the scale is not moving, I do feel a wee bit thinner. Jeans are a little loose today.
I did measurements and got sad because they were bigger measurements than what I took when I was in the 300s. I don’t know what is going on with my body. My clothes are a little looser but I’m not really seeing changes. I go back to my surgeon’s office early August so I’ll try to give my body time to adjustOn 07/13/2018 at 10:17, Little Kansas Kitty said:

@ALFxRNY - my follow up is in mid-August too. You must be holding on to some water weight. I'm sure you'll see a loss soon. You're nice and tall so everything is probably just trying to adjust around to the shock. Awesome job on the 35 lbs. already!!! What are your meals like right now?
Well 35 from when I first started my journey. Post op (including the 10 lbs I gained) I’ve lost about 14 lbs. I still look very swollen though. Hopefully the walks will help. I’m just starting incorporate purées this week. My diet was just 60g of protein (2 shakes a day) and 30-40 oz of water. Sometimes I’d have a little broth to cleanse my palette of the sweetness of the shakes. As of yesterday I have incorporated a little bit of tuna (very tiny serving sizes) twice a day. And cool that we both have August follow ups. How is everything going on your end?On 07/13/2018 at 14:32, Little Kansas Kitty said:

@ALFxRNY - You're doing everything you need to be. I keep telling myself that too. All we can do is be patient. I bet the walks will definitely help. Good job on getting in all that protein. I think I'm going to try tuna on Sunday. Sounds yummy. I'm doing better. I think I passed a kidney stone this week. I'm still sore on the left side but it feels better today than yesterday. Once I feel the muscles have healed on the left, I'll be eager to begin some light working out. Right now, it's just daily walks/strolls.
A kidney stone! Wow! And I still have the soreness on the left side of my stomach too. I more over feel it if I move too quickly. Hope you feel even better soon and that you enjoy your tuna Sunday ?On 07/13/2018 at 16:29, Little Kansas Kitty said:

I had my surgery 6/5 and I feel good so far! My highest recorded weight was 256.12 lbs. The day of surgery after following the 10-day liquid diet I was down 13.8lbs. I was diagnosed with NALDS last fall. Hopefully The RNY will help me with my other commobidities. Please share your journey on this thread with words of encouragement and support.
