I am almost 4 weeks out from RNY. I think I hit a stall... I've been at the same weight (234) for the past week.
My parents are telling me that I must be doing something wrong (p.s. my dad is also post-op 3 years).... and that I must be eating incorrectly....that I shouldn't be hitting a stall this early.
I feel like such a failure ALREADY... The way they talked down to me...saying that I'm going to gain weight again if it's ALREADY stalling..
I am eating what I can eat. I am concentrating on the protein intake and my fluid intake. I am eating choices off of the chart that they gave me from the hospital.... what else do they want!?!?!
INSIGHT PLEASE... before I lose it

I can tolerate sugar free popsicles! and plain decaff tea! and ice chips!
NOTHING else...no jell-o, no soups, no yogurt, no nothing...doc says I have a very angry swollen tender slow to drain pouch. Evidenced by the fact that I was urping up tons of stomach blood and juices for the first 3 days until they figured it out.
I didn't have a pouch, but had a sleeve. So, I may have been able to tollerate more....I don't know. I do remember that week 3 was tough, because I felt good, but didn't want to push myself.
At this point... I am only able to tolerate egg whites, yogurt, pudding, and applesauce. I do occasionally eat tomato sauce with ricotta cheese (as a soup).
I ventured out and pureed soups...but even that is unsettling for my EXTREMELY picky grouchy pouch.
Any mushy food ideas for me? Slider foods?
I purchased refried beans... not sure how to incorporate that into a meal though?
I'm so lost. The chart the hospital gave me is SO GENERIC.

I too do not want to be stuck obsessing on the scale. I weigh only once a week at the same time. Tempted to jump on it but do not!
I just dwell on the weight I have already lost!
Your on your way to better health!
