i was told to not use a straw but i really miss my straws!!!! how far out are you? wondering if i will eventually be able to use a straw
My doc never said anything against straws... so I've used them since I got home from the hospital... I am almost 6 weeks out...

I want to start running but was not given the ok by my doc they said 6 weeks post op I can then start working out. :/
Will your doctor clear you to walk? Mine had me walking the day of surgery... and every day since... back to strength training after 6 wks... I can't wait! I'm ready to sculpt this body into something fabulous!!

I'm only 5 weeks out but in my experience.... if I don't eat, I don't lose... so I eat...probably about 600 cals daily... maybe less... but I eat about 5 times a day... and while I did hit a stall, it wasn't longer than a week...
I applaud your success...

Most days I don't make it to 64oz. Usually really close though
I have a 20 oz cup with a straw... and I usually end up drinking about 3 1/2 of those during the day...

I am one month post op and already, my shoes are too big... and I didn't know I had curves! I thought I was one continuous curve ( a circle...lol) I also wasn't prepared to NOT feel hungry... that is very different for me... I can't wait till I can ditch these clothes and get a pair of skinny jeans!! LOL

I have a different experience... I stopped feeling hungry the day of surgery...when my daughter cooks something I cannot have, I have a desire to taste whatever she makes... but the whole hunger pangs... nope... not there... I realize its head hunger... and my tastebuds talking... I also experience all kinds of gurgles and sounds coming from my stomach... but nothing related to wanting to eat... I simply do not want to eat... I feel like I am eating and drinking something all the time ( so weird for an ex-overeater to say...) The only time I feel like my body is telling me to eat something is when I get this sick feeling in my gut... and if I sip or take a bite, it leaves... is that my new hunger indicator? hmmm

Hi! You are probably not doing anything wrong. I was sleeved on 12/3 and have only lost 22 lbs. I stalled for a week! It's all a learning curve and if you read through this thread, you'll see a lot of other fellow sleevers who have lost slowly too. Sometimes it's just our bodies. Sometimes we are not getting enough Protein and fluids, but I think in my case it's just that my body is getting used to my sleeve. I expect to lose tons of weight in the long run! It'll be great :-) Hang in there. I'm sure you're doing better than you think. How do your clothes fit?
Faith in Christ can move mountains <3
Thanks for the encouragement... my clothes are starting to get very loose... I went back through this thread and I see I am not alone... but I gotta get these lbs off... I am gonna try to get more protein in and get the Water in... I realize I'm in a deficit...

hey there! I had my surgery 12/5... I had very little gas pain... yes.... the coughing and soreness was tough but I think I stayed ahead of it with the pain meds... I am one month out and losing slowly... I have transitioned to solid foods but I am keeping them on the soft side...even though this is one of the hardest things I've ever done, I don't regret it... and I am looking forward to the gradual transformation.
I wish you well on this journey!

Great mindset! I had my surgery 12/5... I keep telling myself that I didn't gain it overnight and I won't lose it overnight...
