I am 5 months out. I am 70 lbs down.. I am happy with my weight. 262 down to 187. Now, I want to lose the rest slow! If I want a cookie. I eat a cookie.. Because I feel if I never allow my self a treat I will fall off the wagon and binge.

I take vicodine and have for many years!! I have not had any issues

Oh I will never be able to go off my meds due to my cancer.

When did you have your surgery?

I hear ya!! I lost 14 lbs since mine. 3 weeks!

Thank you

I met with a dietitian at the hosp. He gave me very little info. I was there about 30 min. I thought I this under control, but I don't!

Hello sleeve friends, I am looking for a friend to visit with to go thru this walk with me! I did not have good support from my surgeon. I am not losing weight. All they said was stick to your plan or you will fail. Well, I feel like I have failed already, 3 weeks out????. I am not being negative, just needing ideals.

Still waiting 3 weeks out

I did not have a leak test. I am 3 weeks out. No weight loss

Lufkin here, between Dallas and Houston!! Oct sleeve, I feel really let down by my doc. No, support!!

Oh I did, the go to girl told me to follow my diet or I was going to fail! That it was in my head!

Wow, that info is great to know. Because I am not hitting any numbers and I am almost 3 weeks out. I called my doc, his go to girl that is to be my support out of his office failed me really bad! She like follow what I told you or you will fail!

It gets so so so much better, I promise! You new sleevers are in the toughest part right now.... making the most sacrifices and not seeing much results yet. It will pass! Months from now you will be able to eat with your family (hopefully ALL of you will be eating healthy meals together), and this will all be an unpleasant memory.

Don't stress too much over the Protein and Fluid numbers. Your body has Protein stores to last you for several weeks, and as long as you're urinating every 4 hours or so you've got adequate fluids. It's very hard to get all those "requirements" in at first when your stomach is so tiny and swollen. It does get much easier!

As to not losing much in the first week post-op, keep in mind that they overloaded you with IV fluids during surgery to help with the nausea. It takes time for your kidneys to kick in and get rid of all that extra Fluid, which weighs a lot by the way! If you follow doctor's orders, the weight will come off easily, I promise you! When you are buying clothes off the rack and everyone is telling you how great you look and you realize you have no more pain and haven't felt this good in years, you will have no regrets.

Hang in there folks, remember the first 2 months are the hardest, and it gets way easier!

How do you use this tool with the sleeve? I only eat a bit or two.
