Im 4 weeks post op and had a 12 day stall. Dr and Nut said its very normal to come to a stall. Your body is just trying to catch up, its on shock mode right now.

I'm 6 weeks post op... Haven't lost a lb in 2 weeks

Same here! I'm almost 7 weeks and started losing again, but I lost zero from week 5 until a few days ago.

Thanks everyone, I see my Dr. tomorrow. I think Ill ask her for another week.

I'm off to May 12 I'm hopeing my job does not have any light duty and I will have to lift I'm a care giver!!'i would tell your dr your not ready and take more time!!!

How many are getting in the 30 minute walking with the sipping

Dr. Baker or Dr. Nagel will be doing my surgery hopefully June 16th in Petoskey. Looking forward to it!!!
It's nice hearing stories from about the doctors who'll do the surgery; thanks for posting!

Hey there! I am 5 days post op and I am not sure if I am getting all my Water, and this Protein is difficult. But it is a process, so we take it day by day. The gas is bad, but we walk! I think I am drinking too fast, but I am working on it. Everyone keep your head up and your liquids down! XXOO!

Ok, April firsters, it is the April 4th. How is everyone doing? My procedure went great and I have little pain. Feeling very tired today. Had to force myself to get up and moving today. Planning on going to work on Monday???
Hope the rest of you are doing well.

I'm two days post op and came from the hospital yesterday. I'm on week one Clear Liquids. By constantly sipping all day, I have gotten 50 oz of fluids. I also noticed some hunger pains that were easily curbed with a little sf Jello. Is this about right? Is it normal to have some appetite so soon?
It seems I tolerated the fluids and the Jello without any trouble. Thanks for input from those that have been there.

Yup, what everyone has said here. I left the hospital up 8 lbs from when I went in, those IV fluids had me bloated like a stuffed sausage. It'll come off (and then some) before you know it.

Best of luck to you!

Hi Beldary,
Well I can't speak for anyone else but the day after my surgery I thought I was going to need some Oompa Loompas to take me to the Juicing Room and roll me around to get rid of the bloating I had. My doctor told me that they were pumping me full of fluids via my IV and that it is normal to gain weight right after the operation. I didn't weigh myself until day 12 when I had my normal follow up appointment and by then the bloating and Water weight was gone. I actually think it was gone by around day 3 or 4. Also it was hard at first to even get my 60 oz of fluids in so I think you'll find that you will lose all that Water weight soon enough.
Remember look at this longer term as in at least weeks and months not days or even hours. Also good luck to you on your journey and recovery!

Hi! congrats on your surgery!!! i remember the dr telling me that the Water id gain during surgery and immedietly after will go away about a week after surgery. Gas-x strips are supposed to be absolutely amazing!! CONGRATS i have my date april 21. ive been dealing with insurance for about 8 months then i just got approval date. i posted a new thread 23 and about to have my sleeve surgery in 2 weeks help. if anyone could check it out and help me i would be so grateful!!
GOOD LUCK!!!!

I gained seven pounds from immediate pre-surgery weigh-in to my first morning at home two days later. It was a little alarming until I remembered the IV bags and such. Now at seven days out it's all gone and more. Beldary, the best is quickly on its way to you. My challenge now is getting in more walking. I'm just a few days ahead of you and each day something has changed and luckily each have been good.
My best wishes for journey

I'm Monday, the 31st! Best of luck to you all!

Congrats and I can only imagine. My day is April 14th and I'm hoping I don't totally freak out from being so excited but nervous. Lol

Let's hope it won't effect ur surgery. I'm so happy for u.

Good luck! I'm April 2nd! See you on the other side!

I'm getting a sleeve .

I was sleeved by Dr. Baker in Petoskey,MI on May 6. If anyone is considering or having surgery thru this office or doctor I would be happy to answer any questions. Best of luck to you!
