Hello,
My surgery was Dec. 13 and I’m down 57 pounds. It’s been really rough for me. I had a leak and almost died and I’m still recovering. I’m improving little by little, very slowly.
My weight loss has been good, and I’m really happy with it. I’ve just hit my first stall, but I know to just keep working on it and it will eventually pass.

I’m not having the results I expected

Congrats. I'm doing really well also. I still struggle because I can't tell if I'm eating too much or not enough. However, i'm dropping pretty good weight. The best decision that I've made. Im 12 weeks post op yesterday. I feel great. I just wanna keep the train moving. Congrats to you.

Overall doing well, although I’m still worried I’m eating too much volume (ie 4 oz ground turkey looks like a lot to eat but I can no problem for a meal.
Super happy with results so far but notice a slowing now. Need to exercise more
Check in people!

I have worried about Barrett’s esophagus. They have been aware of my heartburn since 18 p/o. I’m 3 years out. I’m gonna ask for one. I’ve tried all the meds, I want to know. As you know it burns like hell

I honestly never asked. I had a hiatal hernia and ulcers and suffered from heart burn and nausea every day before surgery even when I wasn't eating anything. It was really bad. Since surgery, I hadn't experienced heartburn til this month and I'm 6 months post op. I'm really grateful I did the repair.

I had a type 2 hiatial hernia. Stayed overnight. No extra pain, no problems, except my PCP can still hear it. She said they can't 100 % get rid of it, but I no longer have symptoms and have lost 36 pounds.

Feeling better everyday. Heading for home after lunch. Having my Carnation instant Breakfast & Water now.

This. Never hurts to call the doc and tell him/her what's going on. I feel for you cause I had a horrible time getting fluids in for the first few weeks. Didn't have a stricture but would get that feeling that the Water was "stuck" above my stomach and would hurt from time to time.
You can also try popsicles. Those helped me out for the first few weeks. You can also suck on ice slivers, but make sure they're super small. Last thing you'd want is to accidentally swallow a whole ice cube.

I was sleeved on the same day. Had the same problem.
I solved it by constantly sipping all day. Just little tiny sips but all day. Surgeon told me I was drinking too fast thats why I had chest pain. Since carrying my Fluid everywhere and just skipping on it no more issues.

I was sleeved 12/19. When I got out of the hospital I was doing really good with my Water and Protein intake. I was really close to 64 oz a day and 60mg of protein. I feel like this past week I took two steps back. Every time I drink water I get a knot in my chest and I can’t drink anymore until that feeling goes away . Protein is even worse. What is happening? I feel like I’m getting dehydrated and I’m starting to worry. I’m pushing as much water down as possible but I can barely get 16-32 oz (32 oz on a really good day ) Protein hardly any. I feel like it wants to come back up ! Help.

I'm 23 days out and I've lost 24 pounds since surgery day. There is a "3 Week Stall" they spoke of at my dr's office and then another drop after that. I'd just encourage you to keep with it.

Curious as to how much weight people have lost at the 1 month mark as we get into January? I'm 24 days since surgery so I have 6 more days to go but I've only lost 11 lbs with the bulk of it right at the beginning. Feeling like I'm losing slower. Where are you all at?

Wow thats amazing, you're doing great!

Thank you love. Yes I’m really excited but anxious lol. You lost almost 20 lbs since your surgery and it hasn’t even been a whole month yet!!! That’s amazing!!

Congrats on your dates ! I know the feeling it’s super exciting , nervous and anxious at the same time.

Lol ... I called every other day. Then the day I decided to wait & not call I got the letter.. A couple of days later the surgeon’s office called ans scheduled my 4 hour class, my pre-op appointment & my surgery all at once!! They wanted to schedule me for Jan 10 th!!’ But I need to tie up stuff at work & find someone to fill in for me so I settled on February 6th... I’m soooo excited!

Hey sleeve twin haha! Just take it slow I would and still have a bit of pain if I eat to fast. Honestly sometimes I forget I even had the surgery because thank God I have not had any problems.

I had my sleeve on the 19th. I’ve been drinking Premier Protein and Water and protien2 infused water. Any other ideas?

Hi all,
I was sleeved on December 20th. The first few days were rough but each day I felt better. I'm excited to start this life long journey of healthier me.
Ciao Ciao for now!
