Tomorrow is 2 weeks!? I'm still feeling great. I went back to work on Monday and though I was a little tired when I got home, don't know if it was just a crappy day or if I wore myself out. Surgery is hard work regardless of having sleeve or not. Tuesday was better and I managed to sneak and get sips every chance I got. Still only got to around 20 while working, and lunch sucks because I only have 30 mins to eat, so I can't drink then lol
im not an everyday scale kinda girl so I've not weighed in since week 1. I'm weighing first thing tomorrow. I'm optimistic since I've followed the diet and haven't even had the inkling to cheat. I'm still getting my protein and water goal in everyday. Also I've been getting double the steps I did before going back to work so I'm getting around 12k a day. If I haven't lost a significant amount I'll probably be upset. But I know I have to trust the process! So wish me luck!
Individual daily measurements can be really tricky; sometimes the scale hops around and it can be misleading. Look at the long-term trends rather than the individual measurements.
I use Trendweight and like it a lot. It takes each day's weigh-in and smooths it out to get a more accurate picture of your weight loss. The only issue is that it was a little confused that I lost a bunch of weight immediately after surgery, so its estimation is a couple of pounds higher than the scale, but that's not too bad.

I am in maintenance. Keeping my goal weight or close to goal most of that time.
My weight can fluctuate within 5 lbs in any 24-36 hours window. Just because.
And fluctuations within 8lbs during 5-6 days.
I try to weigh daily and don't obsess about it. To me, average over at least 2 weeks shows me my weight. That is how I judge if I gained or lost weight. Then I adjust.
BTW: maintenance is a ***** I know how to lose weight, or how to gain. But keeping it "just right" is a challenge. My body doesn't have a cruise control. Darn it.

how do yall get the little racehorse at the bottom that shows where u started and where you are at?
i actuall did start my cycle today! i have had really irregular ones since the surgery so i had no idea. i use protein powder in my coffee for bfast. six star 32grams. 180 cals. then lunch i have 4oz of tuna, chicken, lean ground beef, or beans for protein, and same for dinner. follow protein with veggies. i just moved my portion size up to 5oz. supposed to be on 6oz but im full on 5. im following my surgeons plan to the T. it just broke my heart to see a 3lb gain. yikes. thank you any input is soooo helpful
Your surgeons diet is quite different from mine and given the strong reactions to your post I assume most folks here followed a similar diet as myself. I was allowed four SlimTime shakes per day plus unlimited clear broth, SF popsicles, SF jello, black tea or coffee and water. Nothing else.
FYI hummus and guacamole may be classed as a vegetable but both are higher in fat and calories than most other vegetables. Perhaps check in with your surgeon's office to confirm whether or not hummus, guacamole or cheese are allowed?
This phase is temporary. It wont be long and you will have to be careful not to overeat.
