Sleeved 8/10 lost 20 the first 3 weeks And since then has been so slow, I was 256 and now today I weighed 228 so 8 pounds in the last three weeks I struggle with it because I am also still very sore so I get little exercise in because 2 weeks ago I over did it (vaccumed out my car) and have been in pain since, I am hoping once I can workout more that I will be able to lose more but until then I will join the club

2 hours it included 45 min prep I had a robotic surgery, and they biopsy my liver too

The pain in your shoulder after surgery The dehydration I felt after surgery How great it felt to walk Not being able to sleep on my side for several weeks How hard it is to get the water in daily How delicious refried beans could be lol

Hey everyone, two weeks ago I was feeling great & starting to do more than I probably should have but I have four small kids & I hate having a messy house, well I hurt myself one Saturday when I jumped up fast off a couch when someone came running in yelling my name that my daughter was hurt (she wasn't it was a joke) and since then I have been so sore I can barely bend, sit down, walk around or even lay on my side without feeling like my insides are burning or a stabbing feeling, I see my surgeon Friday but hoepfully someone can encourage me because my weight loss has slowed down too I lost 20 pounds by three weeks and now I have only lost another 6 pounds since

So I was at a 1year old's birthday party at a cousins house and I was sitting on the couch (I was sleeved 8/10/15) and all of a sudden another cousin came running in the house screaming my name, I jumped up without thinking because my 9 yr old was outside with her & I thought something happened.... Well she forgot I had surgery and was only kidding, problem is I hurt myself.. I was feeling really good but now after that I am back to feeling like I was week 2 post op. My one incision inside just burns and stings so bad when I bend slightly & turn, Im so upset! I called dr office on Tuesday but never got a call back yet, Guess Im just wondering if anyone ever hurt themselves like me

When did you have your sleeve done?

Update:???? I called my dr, they said I am bending too much & too ice it & rest.... For two more weeks ????

Hi!! ???? AUG 10th here in sunny Florida Sw 256 and my one month is today I am 231.5, very happy with everything so fat ???? Best wishes to everyone!

Great question & great answers, I thank you all As well! ????

The importance of your protein is more than weight loss right now its so your body can heal, I was struggling with a few protein brands too and Was struggling to get the minimum 60g my dr wanted, I actually switched to the premade Premier Protein shakes @ Costco (choc, vanilla & strawberries & cream) the best thing is they are 30g so I just needed to drink two a day. I also suggest you call your dr office & let them know your struggle with protein so they can get you on track, I wouldn't wait & they wouldn't want you too either Hope this helps, & Best wishes too! ????

How many grams of protein are you getting in? Maybe add two protein only snacks in between? Like 2 oz chicken, tuna etc so the calories are minimal & its protein to keep you full, I recently started eating the tuna packets, they have a few flavors that have no sugar or less than 1 carb, about 2.5 oz so perfect size too, hope this helps ????

Make sure you keep up with your protein intake and vitamins, water is important too, I have 4 kids & a hubby I cook dinner then leave when the eat so I am not tempted. If you keep up on your protein & vitamins it should help so your body isn't feeling deprived, but I know it can be hard! I had low sodium beef broth or chicken broth helped when I wanted something savory, otherwise sugar free jello, sf ice pops or sf italian ice, sf pudding, I bought (at costco) the Premier Protein premade shakes (choc, vanilla, & strawberries & cream) for my first few weeks it was a life saver to have those ready on hand in fridge (30g protein each too!) when I was making my own I was putting the peanut butter powder Pb2 in my mixes to help with taste, hope some of this helps you! Best wishes!! ????

My friend that had it down and was expected to lose 90 pounds but ended up losing 180 told me to think of our weight loss as a staircase, you will maintain them lose, maintain then lose. Sometimes its a day sometimes its a few days sometimes it a week, as long as we keep focus on the proteins, water, stress level ( yes my dr said thats important too ????) and walk. we will all be successful! Hope this helps! Wish you all lots of success! ????

Congrats! & Welcome to the other side! ????????????

Hi All, I will be calling the doctor but wondering what everyone here tiinks too, I was sleeved on 8/10, so I am a month out today, I was starting walks outside and have increased my general activity at home ( have 4 kids) and just general bending over, well the last two days it has gone from small discomfort when I come up from bending, to now my incision site is painful like the first week, and I having trouble sleeping, can't sit without feeling burning, I am definitely going to lounge at home today (no cleaning!) Tia!

Hi!! Im in the Tampa Fl area, had my VSG surgery 8/10/15 lost just over 20 pounds but have been stalled for over a week, hoping & praying I still continue to lose, focusing on my water more since that was lacking otherwise excited for this journey!!

I hear you! I have not lost weight since last week (third week stall) and I weighed in again this morning I am the same weight, trying to focus but its so hard when you are hungry, but can't eat anything and not losing weight, I lost 20 pounds first two weeks now nothing, I am trying to keep up on my water so hopefully I lose this week at some point ????

Thanks everyone!

Hi All, I will be one week post op tomorrow and my shoulders are Killing me!!! I have been drinking water, using hot packs but nothing os working.... any tips??? TIA! ????

U look amazing!!! ????????????????????

I stopped working out, its seems weird to say but now is kinda not the time to lose weight I gained weight during the process but it was nothing compared to the HUGE amount I needed help to lose with this surgery esp if my insurance was going to pay for it!
