Not following post diet.. Help!!!!

[Boricua2012]

I was sleeved on Aug 13,2012 and that day I weighted 297 and today I'm 270. Does that seem right to anyone? I was put on puréed foods but I just can't seem to drink mushy food so I'm eating food instead. My portions are seriously 2-3 table spoons of food and I'm full. Is this the reason why I'm not weighing less?? I drink a great amount of fluids so I don't get dehydrate. Plus im walking too. I don't get sick when I eat I actually have better energy.Please give me some advice or am I on good tack?

Calorie intake? Eating foods high in calories? Sounds like u can already tolerate actual food, but the small amount u r takg on must b high in calories/fats?

Um, you dropped 27 lbs in 36 days.... that's an average of 5 lbs a week for 5 wks. You are doing far better than average! Just keep on keeping on - people get to solids at different rates. Just keep to protein and liquids as long as you can handle it. When you move to carbs more you'll slow down. The one thing I wish I'd done differently is never taking my nutritionists advise and adding more carbs. I never got back to weight loss after that. Keep them low, get as much protein as you can and it will come off the best your body can make it do so. Drink as much as you can to wash the residue out as well. And don't freak out if you stop dropping weight for a week or two, you're due for your first stall....

Why would you just ignore your doctor orders? Makes no sense but to each their own, they know what they are doing and it's for your behalf. It's not an easy road and mushy foods are to help the healing go smoother. You may also dislike exercise but it's a major step in helping WLS patients, it's hard work this surgery. Best of luck

Make sure you keep your protein up that is important. I use shakes a lot for that.

I think you are doing awesome... You are just a little over a month out, so just take it slow. Eat your protein and stay hydrated!!! GREAT JOB!!!!

Thank you all for advice it will really help me. I do exercise everyday and I'm drinking a great amount. Today I got out a measuring cup and measured 1/4 cup of my meal. It took me almost an hour to finish and I stay pretty full on my fluids. Thank you all again I was a little worried about not loosing so much. I want to be between 155 and 160lbs. With the help of Jesus and you all I'll get there.
