hello,

i am asking for anyone to share with me some ideas if i am doing something wrong...

April 3 i went in for my sleeve at 242, came home at 250+ and the surgery went well, i think the hardest part where the bruised lungs because of having a larger liver... 

at first i did not look at the scale at all, knowing that it was a time of healing... now i am a week and 3 days out and i have been stuck at 236 for 4 days now???? i am keeping track of everything i eat with app Lose It, i am some where between 500 to 700 cal a day. i really love that app and i am now using RunKeeper for my walking... being the 2 second week out, i want to walk a mile a day.... is that not enough???

please if anyone has any ideas or advise i am so open to hearing it.... thank you so very much in advance... Lisa..  

i want to say thank you to everyone that have emailed me with great idea's and wonderful words.... i feel better everyday.  OH has been a great place to read what everyone else is going through... all the been there and done that, and all the words of wisdom.... before i go to sleep tonight i just want to send everyone a great big thank you and a hug 

the surgery, the doctor and the hospital where wonderful to me.... but my lung is bruised from having a big liver... and my belly is one huge bruise

What can i do to help these two things along, my doctor told me to drink as much fluids as i can for a few days that protein will come in time. But not to get dehydrated. Broth is going down really easy.  but i feel that there has to be something else i can do for all this bruising, right now it is extremely painful.  I am on liquid pain meds and that is helping to a point, but i am asking is there anything else out there i can do. 

These last 2 weeks have been so hard.  I just don't have the mind control to not eat.  The 3 protein shakes are yummy, and the protein dinners have been good to.  But is the little things that I am sneaking it that is hurting my weight loss on this 2 week pre surgery diet.  Drinking water non stop and having given up... just cant wait till I am sleeve. So I have a tool to help me.
