I am 5 weeks out and I stalled on weight loss on week 3 to week 4 I actually gained 3 lbs but now I am loosing again and I do not eat much at all. I cannot over eat because it feels like a knife stabbing in my sternum if I eat one baby spoon full more than what I should and I suffer I do not know how anyone can over eat lol it is impossible for me to over eat . I will not go through that pain again . It took at the least 30 minutes to have the pain go away. I have lost 40 lbs as of today which is my 5 week surgeversary. I am very excited about what it will be like 1 yr out. This is such a great place to get support and advise. Most everyone in here has been through this or going through this. Thank you to all who have given me advise and uplift

I really don't have that problem though I really have to force myself to eat. I don't get hungry. I think if you over eat once or twice then you get hunger pains So I am told by a friend. as I said I just do not get hungry much but things sure smell good when I cook on the Treager BBQ. It is kind of funny I make this little tiny hamburger about the size of a fifty cent piece lol.I chop it up into little pieces. and I am full afterwards. My stomach hurts if I go to far and I only did it once. It felt like a knife stabbing me in the sternum. It catches your attention real quick lol. I have not lost at all on week 4 and some of these beautiful people on this site have told me that is normal your body has to start changing.

The thing I suggest is find a cup about 1/4 of a cup and fill it with what you want to eat. and it should take you about 20 minutes or so to eat that and use a baby spoon for your bites. wait 5 minutes after the first bite and 10 minutes after the second bite and you will start feeling the full feeling. It does matter what you put in the cup also lol. you can eat in about 3 hrs later again and have sugar free popsicles in between. helps curb the appetite. That is all I have for ya good luck you are doing great

Thank you that helps me feel better

Cause I am eating all the right things I went through a lot to get this far because I used to be 448 lbs but I had lost 88lbs before surgery. So I have the healthy mind set already. I cannot walk a lot like they7 want me to because I have a knee that has to be replaced here in a week or 2

I have only lost 33 lbs in 4weeks is that normal

Hi everyone . I am 4 weeks out and I don't have that problem. I do have a few cravings for things that I consider this morning syndrome lol. I can only get about 3 teaspoons of anything down at a meal. Plus I have this little cup that holds just what I can eat and eat slow and chew very well and I am full before I finish my cup. I do have an issue of not losing any weight in the last week though. how can this be with such little amounts of food I eat and drink lots of water? Is this normal (asking all who have been through this gastric sleeve) please I am very nervous about this.I am still weak too.

I am actually ten days out now and 27 lbs down from 360 =333 lbs yeha But honestly I am sore still but doing well

I am new to this site myself but I had my surgery May 11th. It is great I have lost 27 lbs since then and I am no longer on blood pressure meds
