So I am two weeks and one day postop and down 28 lbs from gastric sleeve surgery. As of today my diet consists of soft refried beans, scrambled egg with cheese, yogurt, protein drinks, and soup. The doctor allowed me to have flaky fish today. I have stalled though the last two days. I’m getting my fluid intake between 58-64 ounces.

I seem to be eating between 1/2-2/3 cup at a meal. Not Drinking is the toughest during a meal.

does that sound about norm?

Switching to semi-solids can cause the body to adjust, give it time. Just be cautious and follow the macros - protein grams and liquids. Sometimes constipation goes along with changing from liquids/soft to solids. Up the liquids to 100 oz if you can - and by that I mean half that as just water.

There is the 'dreaded three week stall' that happens somewhere between 2 and 6 weeks out, it is just a reset so don't get worried. You are doing great. Weight loss is not linear and not constant.

It sounds totally normal and similar to my journey. I stated textured food earlier than many on here. That's when my body had some adjustments and a bit of a stall.

i think 28 pounds is amazing!! keep it up

Thank you all for your support.

I was concerned that I was pushing it but have had “knock on wood” no issues except when the fullness sets in and I stop. Eating slowly can be hard when I’m so used to eating in a hurry because of work.

i do enjoy a bi weekly reward at night with some protein rich ice cream. Can’t remember the name but it comes in a 1/2 pint container and has 12 g of protein. Very fulfilling.

I’d like to know about the ice cream! Lol. I’m miserable right now and cannot wait to get back to anything resembling normal!!!

I agree sounds normal to me and yes the stall will happen as your body adjusts to changes. Fluids were and still are hard for me to get in even at almost 4 months out so that's great you are getting them in. Keep up the hard work, it will be worth it :-)
