    Random Hiccups?

    I get them all the time and it's definitely my sign that I am full and to stop eating!

    Dizzy

    I am 4 months out and have been getting dizzy a lot. It was first just a couple of times a day but now it's happening every time I stand up. Any ideas on why this is happening?

    Dizzy

    I am not on any meds so no problems there. Am working on getting my fluids up and will see If that helps. I usually get about 32-40oz a day which I know isn't enough.

    Dr. Marsden

    I was sleeved by Dr. Marsden on 11/19 and I was very happy with him! My surgery was in Plano at Baylor! My only negative is his follow up care isn't all that great. He sees you one time about a month after surgery and that is it.
  5. I would never survive without my Mio! I even use it to flavor my vanilla protein shakes!

  7. I eat those at least 2-3 times a week. I enjoy them!

    Did you get on the scale today?

    I use to but not anymore. Now it's every 3 days or so.

    Did you get on the scale today?

    Yes I got on the scale today and it's still the same. I have been in a stall since Post Op Day 9 and today I am Post Op Day 29. I have lost a whopping 17 lbs since surgery
  10. Today I am 25 Days Post Op and have been in a stall since 9 Days Post Op. I am beyond discouraged! I barely eat anything, still struggling with my liquids and get about 35-40 oz a day and usually get around 60 grams of protein daily. No matter how hard I try to get liquids in I just can't. My Pre Surgery weight was 262 and I am 245. I just want the scale to start moving again.

    Let's Check In November 2012 Sleevers!

    I am so over being on this darn stall 3 weeks post op tomorrow and I have spent half that time in a stall. Barely able to eat anything and still only getting about 30oz of fluid a day and around 30 grams of protein. I know that is my problem but I have absolutely no desire to eat and drinking makes me fill so full.
  12. I was sleeve on 11/19 and I lost 11lbs pre-op and 18 lbs since surgery. However I have only lost 3 lbs in the last 6 days. Gotta love the stalls.
  13. I wish! Mine was 2 weeks late after surgery (which freaked me out btw) and it came back yesterday with a vengeance! Holy cow, the cross are worse than ever and it's super heavy. And I am only 2 weeks out from surgery so I haven't taken anything for the cramps as I am not sure what I can!
  14. I am 2 weeks out today and STILL cannot get all my fluids in. I just try and get a little more in each day. Also, a lot of people are not able to tolerate plain water for awhile after surgery. I drink mostly G2 Gatorade and water with propel zero mixed in. You might want to try that and see if you are able to tolerate that better. Oh and I always drink a 12oz Gatorade first in the morning before my shake because like you mentioned once I drink. Shake I don't feel up to drinking anything else for hours!

    Thank You everyone who replied You all are great!! Starting soft foods today so my protein will be up some and still working on those fluids so hopefully this will help!!

    Let's Check In November 2012 Sleevers!

    I have mostly been drinking Gatorade G2 and I finish about 24oz of that in a day. And then I drink either 8 or 12 oz Protein Shake (depending on which one I do). So I am getting about 30 Grams of Protein in daily. I know not nearly enough but I just haven't been able to tolerate much more than that. I do try to add a little more each day. I am thinking this is the reason for my early stall as my body is saying WTH are you doing to me.

    Let's Check In November 2012 Sleevers!

    So frustrated...looks like I am an early staller. Day 10 Post Op - 247 Day 11 - 247 Day 12 - 245.5 Day 13 - 246 Day 14 - 246 Oh and weight of surgery was 262. I am happy that I have lost but so discouraged that my stall happened so soon Praying it doesn't last much longer!!! This is all on liquid diet too and I know I am not getting enough fluids in so I am going to try like heck to get that up and see if it helps.

    Early Stall? Wtf

    I wish my stall didn't start until 6 weeks out. Try 10 days Post Op then you can complain about it being early

    Sleeved on 11/19...isn't it too early for a stall? Scale didn't budge this morning and it looks like I'm on track to stay the same again tomorrow.

    November 19Th- Officially

    This morning was the first morning my scale didn't move (yes, I am obsessed with my scale). Praying I am not stalling already!!

    November 19Th- Officially

    What are you eating? I am still on full liquid and have been drinking Gatorade G2, water with propel zero mixed in, pure protein frosty shake or cookies and cream protein shake. I am still having a hard time getting everything in but each day is better and better. I did breakdown and have a few bites of refried beans today. I was so burned out of drinking that I needed something real. And I have to say those were the best refried beans I have ever tasted!!

    For those talking about lack of energy, do you take Sublingual B12? It really helps with your energy level

    November Sleevesters?

    I was sleeved on 11/19 and I am still having a heck of a time with fluids. I am lucky if I get 25 oz in a day! 1/2 of that is usually a protein shake so I am getting some protein but not near enough. My stomach just does not like drinking a ton! How is everyone else doing?
  24. nickyd73

    November 19Th- Officially

    I am still struggling with getting all my liquids and protein in. 20 oz is the most I have consumed in one day but each day is getting better. My stomach just does not tolerate a lot of drinking and soup broth is out of the question. I am down 9 lbs since surgery!!!
