Fun size

Hold on Ladies! I believe I am the queen of slow losers. I'd gladly relinquish my crown for just a few pounds. Anyhow, as sad as I am to share this status, I am relieved to learn that I am alone on this throne. I hope we all move to the losers bench soon. It's just scientifically impossible not to. I've quit weighing myself because it just makes me mean and grouchy.

How was your first day back? What grade do you teach? I am a retired second grade teacher. I miss it a lot. I think we were sleeved on the same day (11/12). I am the slowest loser ever. How are you doing?

My stall is 11 days. I am not a pleasant person. Since my husband is the only one who know, he gets to hear me whine, moan, crab, complain. He just laughs at my grouchiness. I, however, am not laughing. Walking....yep. The dogs are tired of walking. Drinking....well I slosh when I walk. Scale moving....nope. Scientific wonder.

I didn't tell anyone. I am so happy that I don't have to deal with questions.

Congrats! I am still waiting. I told my husband that I feel like tomorrow will be the day this stall breaks. He'll be thrilled because his wife isn't usually this bitchy! I've amazed myself at just how groughy I can be. wow. Anyhow, I am happy for you!

Thank you, George. Just staying the course (and pouting), hoping for a break.

And this morning I am up 2 pounds. 500-600 calories a day, walking, drinking. Scientifically impossible, but still true. I am officially the first vertical sleeved, very compliant patient to defy science. Welcome to my pity party. Bring your own water.

A while ago I posted that if and when I stalled, I'd just accept it and continue on. Well, I am here to tell you that lied, lied, lied! It's been 8 or 9 days and I am going crazy!! I am behaving really well. I keep my nutrional manual open and follow it to the letter. This morning I gained a pound!!!!! Yesterday and Saturday I walked 2.5 miles and I am heading out to walk today just as soon as I am finished venting. My poor dogs are getting tried of all this walking. My cheerful disposition has left. I am getting in all my water. I am not cheating. I am measuring. All I can say is GRRRRRRR!!!!

The videos aren't "knock your socks off wow", but just enough information to make you feel comfortable with what you're experiencing. I hope they help.

It's perfectly normal! You need only liquids because your stomach is really swollen inside from the surgery. But the liquids flow through so quickly that you don't really feel full. I was sleeved on 11/12 and felt the same as you do that first week. Someone posted a link to a video by Dr. Alveraz that explained it all. It made me feel so much better knowing it was normal. I don't have that link but he is on youtube with questions of the week. Helped me alot.

Me too! Dr. White on 11/12. When were you sleeved?

Flintstones chewables, twice a day.

I'm in Toledo. Sleeved by Dr. White. Piece of cake. Really.

One week post op. I can't imagine that you were expecting some big changes after one week. Cut yourself some slack. You just had major surgery. Your insides are all swollen. Your body is not too happy at this moment. Give your body and your head a few weeks of adjusting. You will be so happy with the choice you made. Repost in a week to tell us all how great you feel. And you will feel great. Promise.
