I was sleeved on August 15th and was at 214lbs. I'm at 197 and haven't lost more weight in 2 weeks. I was becoming concerned because I really have to watch what I eat. I have not had any problems with any food. I eat very small portions and try to make healthier choices. Its hard but eventually I'm sure our bodies will adjust and get back on track with the weight loss!

I was sleeved on the 15th and was home on the 17th. So far so good. I've been able to finish my protein get my water in and finish my yogurts and cream soups. I don't feel tired, my only complaint is the feeling of heartburn after everything that I eat or drink. The doctor said it was normal and it would pass. I'm also constantly hungry. I don't know if its real hungar or head hungar. Still trying to figure that out. Either way I satisfy that with water or a sugar free popsicle. My incisions are almost healed. No pain with bending or lifting. Cant wait to go back to work soon!

I've been fine with everything. As far as the water, small sips for me my throat is still irritated. I'm thinking because of the breathing tube. Other than that I believe your weight loss is normal. I've only lost 7lbs since my surgery and energy dosent seem like a problem. Actually before my surgery my bed time was about 11pm right now I'm at the 1:30am mark... scary cause ill be going back to work soon!

Thank you to all who replied! It makes me feel much better to know the there are others like myself out there! I've had two friends who were sleeved about 2 years ago and were saying how excessive my eating was post-op.

My day starts out with a Premier Protein chocolate shake 11oz, 4 oz of apple juice and water 16.9 oz size bottle (it takes me about 20 mins to finish the bottle). Lunch is 6 oz cream soup Campbell's any flavor lite-sodium, and a yoplait yogurt. Water 1/2 hr after food, 16.9 oz bottle. Snack sugar free popsicle. Dinner another protein shake. And more water after that. I've been substituting popsicle with sugar free puddings at times. Everything seems too normal. I don't know whether to be concerned or not. HW 240 / PRE-OP W 214 / CW 208...

I had my surgery on the 15th of this month. I was put on a liquid diet upon discharge. I've been home and have been able to finish my Premier Protein shakes yogurts, cream soups and amout of water I was told to drink. I feel like I'm eating as much as I was during my 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I never feel full or sick. No pain or discomfort. Is this normal. Besides the brusing on my stomach I feel like nothing has changed.
