ok, you are probably in starvation mode.  In pureed diet you will increase your calorie intake a bit and this should start moving things again.  For such drastic surgery, I think we all expect the weight to fall off.  Doesn't seem fair does it!

I had a hard boiled egg last night that sat pretty well but the scrambled egg this morning is just yuck. I am not sick but I am not enjoying the after taste and I cannot drink yet. I did rinse but it didn't help. I guess I will put off scrambled egg for a bit. I looked forward to it for so long too. What a disappointment! I want chili now that I see you have had some. that sounds good. Well, I gotta go get my Christmas tree down finally. I have been very lax in doing that. I was still enjoying it.

Lap RNY on 12/22 and am down 12 lbs!  I'm losing slowly!


 

34 lbs. lost before surgery on December 22, 2008.   105 lbs. lost prior to signing up for WLS.

 I have been stuck at the same weight for about a week.  I started pureed foods on Tuesday afternoon.  I have been eating pureed chili, clam chowder, scrambled egg with guacamole and salsa, greek yogurt.  I also tried making a fruit smoothie yesterday with kefir.  It's harder to get enough liquids in because of the 1/2 hour before and after a meal of no drinking liquids.

It might be because crab is moister that it was easier. I had a hardboiled egg last night with lite mayo and some mustard all mashed up. It went down real smooth but I still felt my heart race a bit. I think I might have eaten it too quickly. It was sooo good.

Topic: RE: the scale doesn't move
I wish I had taken my measurements before surgery. I did not. I have an idea of my waist size from before, but nothing else. I will measure that today. I know it has gone down. That should make me feel better.

The scale has become my enemy. I will ignore it and focus on keeping to the diet and getting my body moving in all sorts of new ways. Thanks for the input. It is great to hear encouragement when I have run out of it for myself.

Could be. I guess I had such high expectations. It is almost like I don't have control. I am doing what I am told to do to the very best of my ability but yet, I am at the mercy of my body. stinks.
