Hello fellow sleevers???? so i was just wondering i know many are checking the scale daily. What are some of you doing? Myself just waiting for my appts and in the interim ive been doing measurements and going by clothes getting bigger. I just dont want to become obsessed with the scale. After all, all of this work is ultimately for a healthier me. Yet of course its nice to see the scale going down????????????

i was sleeved on 9/5 did not have a bowl movement for 5 days. i tried the colace which did not work but i did try colace 2x a day as well. Miralax did the trick for me and no issues since then. In regards to the weight loss has a lot to do with our protein intake although its hard we have to aim to get close to the goal. Also doing some light weights helps too stimulating the muscles.

Thats great you have been able to get back to work. I am a hospice nurse homecare so a lot of driving and carry equipment etc. I do understand about the mental stimulation lol. Hope you continue well on your journey. Whats help me with my protein and fluid intake is writing everything down. also there is an app for protein intake and a seperate one for water

Thanks for the response at first i said whats the point being home so long but seeing how sick i have felt the past couple of days, im grateful that im home..

Hello everyone i am 3 weeks post op the last couple if days i have not been feeling well. having some dizziness, weakness and nausea. Laying down trying to rest. I am now in stage 4 of food hoping all well go well and time will heal. a question has anyone gone back to work yet. my dr has me out for 6 weeks due to she does not want me to lift anything above 20lbs. so 3 more weeks if u r out this long what are you doing with your time. well me trying to configure life to an exercise regimen, keeping track of intake and reading reading reading lol..

i personally started doing the daily weigh ins but became way to compulsive about it. I figured we women have hormones that work against us and we will have water buildup at times. so to put my mind at ease i do measurements every 2-3 weeks and weigh in monthly. hope this helps

Good morning i am 3 weeks post op first 24 hrs was miserable yet was home the following day. recovery has gone well. i have already had my 2 week follow up all is good and seeing nutritionist tomorrow. Today is an off day stomach is feeling "funny" eating has slowed down and im leaving food. dont know if my belly is now showing its true colors. going to lay low for today but attempt to keep my protein and liquids for the day. everyone have a great day everyone!!! so glad to have come across this app.

thank you for kind words. oddly enough i just went through a situation at the beginning of the week where i shared my good news about preop visit and weight loss 1 sister was very supportive the other two kind of blew it off. I was pretty hurt especially that i have been the "big" sister all of their lives i am the oldest. I waited a day and actually spoke to them and ething is ok. But for anyone else reading this there are many changes we will see besides physical hang in there you are not alone.

Thank you so much for talking about those bad days. I am approx 3 weeks post op. The surgery itself i was miserable the first 48 hrs. Ive been doing pretty good since -27lbs on my post op appt. Still on semi solids. The hardest thing at times is people feeling bad and not wanting to ear in front of me. Actually makes me feel like ita goong against the point if me doing the surgery so that i would not be the one singled out. Did you go through this all?
