I was dizzy and lightheaded at certain times for about 2 weeks postop. Your blood sugar is probably low, and u cut calories drastically. Keep getting in all your fluids. It will pass when calories increase. If any concerns call your dr to make sure.

I like Syntax Nectar protein powder. I like the fruity flavors that can be mixed in water and taste more like a juice than a shake. Favorite is Fuzzy Navel.

Yep normal. ( unless red) I'm 2 months out and incisions still occassionaly itch.

5'3 starting weight 200 Current weight 167 Sleeved Jan 10th

This is just the inspiration I need to get me back on track ( been snacking on my toddlers goldfish crackers!) Surgery date Jan10 th Day of surgery weight 200 Today's weight(3/18) 168 June 1st goal 150

Hi- I was sleeved Jan 10th. SW 200. Today weight 168. Calorie intake 600-800. Protein intake 48-64. Water intake 48oz-64oz. I exercise regularly and have an active job (RN 12 hour shifts).

Yikes! Good to know. (BTW - you prepared an amazing dinner. Sorry you couldn't enjoy it. Happy Anniversary!)

2 weeks post op I had a stall that lasted 2 weeks. Just broke out of it today with an overnight 3 lb loss!! I did up my water and protein intake over the last couple days

Yep, that's what my Dr told me.

Hi- I was sleeved jan 10th and I lost 20 lbs first 2 weeks and now have been stalled for 2 weeks. I lost 1 lb last week. I have been struggling with getting in Protein shakes and fluids since I advanced from full liquids. From what I read getting in all your protein and fluids helps with the weight loss....so today I cut back to 2 oz per meal and concentrating on getting in all my fluids and protein. Hopefully that will help. I expected stalls along the way, but it stinks!

I agree

I have heard that it takes constant abuse to stretch the sleeve. Remember the stretchy part was removed I believe the dietary restrictions are given to us to make sure we can tolerate the food we eat. The last thing the docs want us to do is throw up the 500-600 calories we manage to get in. I think you are just fine....but don't do it again

Anyone else not tell coworkers that they were sleeved? How have you handled it or how do you plan to handle the weight loss questions?

Hi! I'm 5'3 I was sleeved Jan 10th. SW 200. 4 weeks out and 180lbs. Good luck to everyone waiting to get sleeved. Congrats to those of you almost to goal!!

I'm 4weeks out and have lost 20 lbs. I'm 5'3. Day of surgery weighed 200lbs. Now 180lbs. I've heard that lower BMI lose slower. I will be happy with a 8-10 lb weight loss per month. That should hopefully get me to my goal weight in 5 months.
