Im in a similar situation. 3 weeks out 10 lbs lost only. I gained in hospital 12 lbs which was prob from fluids in iv I lost that and 10 lbs. I have 120 to loose. This is going to be a long long ride. I thought there would be a honeymoon phase. I guess its bypassing me.#sadanddiscouraged#

I am on soft foods, graduated to chicken moistly prepped tuna and canned chix. I havent had the tuna or canned chix yet I made chicken and some sweet potato and carrots and tomato in slow cooker. First meal ive had in 24 days. Im trying to walk more but feel exhausted. I was more active before being sleeved!

I was sleeved on oct 4. Ive only lost 11 lbs so far. I had gained 10 lbs during hospital stay so that was gone plus 11 lbs. I dont eat much. I get my protein in. Water is difficult to drink im trying but its hard. Why am I losing so slowly. I developped sciatica my worst episode ever and was bedridden for 8 days as walking painful. Will I be relegated to slow loserville. I had a bmi of 47 going in, and have 140 to lose. Im terrified I am failing. I try and usually eat under 800 calories. Help please im discouraged

Just released from hospital. had some wonderful nurses. One of them came and said hi said you two were friends. I was out of it but really appreciated what you did. I have acid reflux/ heartburn when I eat anything but today is better than yesterday and its nice to be home.
