I had two c-sections and the sleeve was much less painful and a very easy recovery for me. I didn't even take pain meds after the first day.

So far nothing has bothered me. While that may sound wonderful, kind of worries me. Will just have to be careful and chose wisely.

Yep! Normal! I lost 10 pre-op, then 17 the first two weeks post-op. (I only weighed at my appts.) So I go for my one month appt and I had only lost 4 more pounds. I collapsed into tears in the doctor's office. LOL! Everybody came running and they were hovering like helicopters. (I think hysterical patients are scary to them.) Anyway, I got a grip after a while and kept plodding forward (as if I had a choice!) So I am now 5 months out and 80 lbs down. Bottom line: don't compare yourself to anyone, don't stress, it's going to be great.

you will have several stalls its normal! I hit one at 3 wks..it took a few wks to start in again the body is adjusting to the chaos we did to it! its in shock ! Iv been thru 3 stalls in 7 months...I still have a hard time getting in 64 oz of Water everyday. I do what I can an I do work hard on getting Protein an its my priority. everything else is secondary. hang in there! it will start moving again...it works!

I was also sleeved on 2/2... Lost 10 before and only 11 lbs since surgery for a total of 21 lbs. I'm just trying to focus on the long term and not get discouraged !!! We will all get there ladies !!!

Thank you! I'm sure it's normal, just hard to eat this little and not see the scale move at all. I'm sure it will get in gear and we probably shouldn't worry about the dumb scale anyway:) Good Luck to you, I'm sure you will do great!

I was sleeved on 2/2. I lost 10lbs on the week long preop diet, then 10 lbs the week after surgery, and I've stalled ever since. Not lost one more lb. I'm getting in quite a bit of Protein and usually 60 grams a day. I do very well with the shakes, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese etc...however, I I don't get near what I need to for my Water intake. Maybe that's it. It tastes ok, I just can't get it down. I've not thrown up one time, never been nauseated, and had a great recovery. I'm very thankful for all that and just wondering it this is a stall or maybe something else. Also, I get that 20 lbs in a month is awesome!! Just worried thats it????Any thoughts?

Congrats!!! That's awesome????

Increasing Water intake may help because it helps to flush your system. Everyone will lose at different rates and little plateaus along the way are normal. It will pick back up!

Thank you! I'm sure it's normal, just hard to eat this little and not see the scale move at all. I'm sure it will get in gear and we probably shouldn't worry about the dumb scale anyway:) Good Luck to you, I'm sure you will do great!

I would like to join. Cw is 242 and goal is 227. 15lbs

Congrats! Glad all is going well

my sleeve isn't picky about anything either. just over 2 months out and can tolerate pretty much everything I've tried. but I don't do bread, rice, Pasta, pretty much any carbs. the worst I've done was a bite of red velvet cake on vday... I also have 4 oz of solid Protein for meals.

So far nothing has bothered me. While that may sound wonderful, kind of worries me. Will just have to be careful and chose wisely.

I don't do well with narcotics and I discussed that with the dr's prior to surgery. I took Toradol for pain in the hospital. I did not take any additional pain meds when I left. I didn't need them, not even Tylenol.

I bet it's just the swelling is still bad and as it goes down you will tolerate more. Maybe mine didn't stay swollen long and that's the difference. I sure hope you feel better soon though.

I sent you a friend request on myfitnesspal. Hope that's ok

Hi @@Jazmundo
Try to think out things one at a time. I found myself getting overwhelmed trying to get fluids, Protein, walk, and deal with everyday life. I found that if I slowed down and tackled the most important (Water, fluids & rest early on), it was a little bearable. It's a major change, and does a serious head trip on you.
Don't worry so much about the Vitamins, Protein right now. Try drinking room temp, or warm liquids to start. When your comfortable try to incorporate protein. It's difficult in the beginning, I had buyers remorse too, but pretty soon you will be loving the new you even more than the previous you! Nothing says "I've made it", by getting on the scale and seeing you've lost the equivalent of a small human (I lost a 100lb human lol).
Good luck! You can do it!

I'm living off of sipping Decaf tea, sf pudding, and sf fudgecicles. Next week get to start scrambled eggs etc...it's going to get better by the week! I've been kind of down too but we got this

Oh my, I'm so so sorry to hear this. Praying for a speedy recovery for you. Hugs

Hello there! I'm brand new as well and I'm getting sleeved on Monday too! Good Luck, We Got This
