I was sleeved Jan. 26th and can relate to what you are describing, so we must be normal I'm shocked that I don't even really need the pain meds at this point, although I seem to get tired during the day - and am taking naps, so I take the pain med at night to help me sleep. But thinking of switching to Tylenol PM's soon, just so I don't have to take a narcotic if I don't have to. I, too, burp a lot, and feel like I need to burp a lot. I wish I was a baby, and someone would pat my back after drinking - hahahah! Good luck - glad to know we are on the same track.

I was sleeved 12/17/2010,so I am 6 weeks post op. I have lost a total of 39 pounds so far. What you all are feeling is perfectly normal and will get much better, trust me. The human body is an amazing vesse land it adjusts quite quickly. By the time I was a week post-op, I was feeling great! Congrats to all of you and welcome to the losing team!!!

That is soo true. If i think about weight loss pre-op, it was non-existant! I did exactly the same thing< did a better job of tracking my food and up'd my excercise and i have finally broken my stall! After a lifetime full of excess weight I guess u just get so caught up in the numbers instead of the way you feel. I must admit I am feeling great! So, just have to concentrate on the positive, I think i'm gonna hide the scale !!!

I was sleeved on Dec 1st and I have stalled for the last week. I know that I will eventually start losing again. I have increased my calories as well as I can and between yesteday and today I have walked over 5 miles. I am hoping this will past soon. I do not have buyer's remorse as even though I am not losing right now, I have not put on any weight and when can I say that I have lost 40+ pounds in 2 months. I have already at my lowest weight in 23 years. I am almost at my halfway mark. Hang in there.

I too am obsessed with the scale and i think it's because the weight was melting off directly after surgery. However , now that I am 5 weeks post op I am finding that it really isnt moving at all and I am soooo frustrated!!! I really need to find a way to stay off the scale for an extended period of time. I have lost 35 pounds soo far and that in and of itself is amazing in 5 weeks. Need to look at the positives !!!!

I was sleeved on dec 17, 2010 and am 5 weeks post op. My surgeon is Dr. Prokurat in NJ and he is wonderful, he has the most amazing bed side manner. My recovery was easier than i thought it would be, but am running into difficulties now. I have lost 35 pounds soo far but now find myself stalled for the last 2 weeks. It is very frustrating when you are following dr's orders and eating waaay less than u did before and not seeing any results. I am trying to hang in there and stay positive but find myself having a little buyer's remorse. Am I the only one feeling this way?
