Thank you for asking woo. I'm extremely tired. I hope they do the ct scan today so I can see what's up. Im staying positive though. And just want to be home

Thank you for asking mama. I'm exhausted. I saw the surgeon and he said my CRP is 98 it was 1 two weeks ago. This shows infection or inflammation. I had one dose of antibiotics then they decided to stop the antibiotics till a CT scan had been done. He thinks my sleeve could be inflamed also . its just speculation right now. Its 4.37am I'm on my third bag of fluid. And on strong pain meds. I'm so tired . I told them after all this I hope I don't develop a complex about eating. As even sipping water is not comfortable. keeping positive

No one said there was any harm in asking. We have all had the surgery and obvcourse was nervous to. Post of there will be many excuses for wanting to go of plan. But you need to make sure your in the right frame of mind for this. It doesn't matter if someone else had wine 2 days before surgery and was well doesn't mean it will be the same case for you.. But I don't think many people would consider being that risky. Which is why I said you really need to look into why your mind didn't want a nice relaxing bath to relax instead of going of plan. I wasn't judging you but some of us occasionally indulge in self sabotaging behavior without realising. I'm sure you were aware it is quite huge to risk your whole surgery over wine. Second question. I haven't lost 50lbs so can't answer but. Follow what your surgeon suggests for excersise. I'm 30+ lbs down in 11 weeks no excersise yet

The question is why ? Why do you want to this close? Is red wine on your pre op plan ? No. So why would anyone here advice you to go against your plan. You haven't even started yet. And your already wanting to not listen to your plan.

Lol your that desperate for two Glasses of wine you'd have it 3 days before surgery? Yikes. Good luck with your journey. Sounds like it will be an interesting one.

Thank you so much. I've been admitted to hospital now.

After suffering all weekend. I ended up in the emergency room. With pain. I have had a blood gas and there is infection in my blood stream. We are waiting for further bloods. I have quite a severe infection somewhere in my stomach. I'm not sure if its sepsis yet. I've been admitted. And waiting for the surgical team to see me as they think it's my gallbladder infected? Or something. I thought it might be my gallbladder but I was embarrassed to come in incase it was gas. I've been feeling so Ill but thought with a sleeve and not eating much I thought I'm 11 weeks in and just getting used to things. I need to not be hard on myself. I've been crying doubled over in pain all weekend. But kept thinking I'm just being silly. As soon as I got Here they brought me straight in and gave me morphine. The consultant Dr even said I had a high pain threshold when I was getting the blood gas done so she said I should have come straight in as I was crying it was that bad Anyone notice anything out the ordinary always go in. I have fluids in my drip. Waiting for iv antibiotics. On the positive I still love my sleeve my blood pressure was normal today! ( I used to Suffer from high bb that would be even worse if I'm in pain or in Hosp. The consultant asked me why I had a sleeve I said " because I was fat " she said " you don't look fat at all!! Well I suppose you were 11 weeks ago " its nice to not look as fat.

One month in and "only" lost 25lbs. That is a substantial amount. I'd start with balancing your expectation with something more realistic.. It took the first two months of constant irritation and anger when I stalled to make me realise its not always going to happen fast 7 weeks!!! No movement. Then suddenly no change losing 5lbs in a week. Take a deep breath and have a look around. "I should have lost more " How do you know have you done this before? It happens to us all and Its so discouraging. But normal. Keep hitting your protein and water goals.. Many things can contribute to the scale not moving but also your body has to catch up. You will get there. What are your stats and what are you eating.

Is this realistic? I hate waisting money. And I used to buy new clothes as my weight went up and down. Now I feel I'll deal with looking abit ugly in baggy clothes till I'm at goal. Because when I'm slim I really want a style overhall clothes that I'm not confident to wear now. So I wanted to wait. I'm in the 200s is it possible to wait till I'm 135lbs to buy new clothes?? Am I the only one who feels this way ? Right now I'm just a leggins and dress girl. I want to go back to my skinny jeans at 135 lbs I hope lol

I agree there is no dumb question. But do you know some people are starting of 600lbs and can lose a hell of alot first week. So try not to compare.

How many calories are you eating a day? Your surgery was April this year. ? And you had a bmi of 29 on day of surgery. Weldone. But generally people who have surgery are not eating 1,400 cals a couple months in from what I've seen.

How far out are you ? Don't eat less than your BMR? A lot of us as sleeve paitents can't get in more than 800 cals for a long time. Which I would assume is a lot less than what you are recommending. That we have been told by our surgeons team. Is this link showing what sleeve patients should eat ? That tdee calculator is for what a person who isn't sleeved should eat. .. Confusing. I'm sure it will help someone. My bmr 1,400 thanks for the advice but I won't be going against my surgeon and eating that much. Many people have success following their instruction.

Thank you. Today I am suffering. Chills . random toilet explosion when I've eaten nothing. Feeling sick. Can't eat barely or drink. I've even cried its horrible. I am away with my kids so can't go er today. I have to drive home in the morning . drop them wrh my mum then go to the emergency room. This is horrible. I've never experienced anything like this. I've posted about my chills and lack of apetite had no idea it was about to be a nightmare.

14lbs in 7 days.. Slow loser ? Lol. Youl get a huge shock when you don't lose a lb for weeks. As it happens to most of us. You ever lost 14lbs in 7 days before and considered it slow ? I wonder how that thought came to you. Were you expecting to lose 50lbs in 7 days? What would be considered not slow. Just curious myself.

Yes very normal. It happens. While it's frustrating not much can be done. 5 miles a day. Wow . Weldone. My weight drops when I don't do much exercises lol but for health your doing the right thing . are you reaching protein and water goals.?

Hope you go doctors soon. Feel better.

Like it has for me right now. I'm in agony!

I must just have bad luck. I'm 26 and black. And I flapped my arms up to show my mum that this is what I'll do when I've lost a loads of weight have have floppy wings... Low and behold some lose skins already flapping and my tummy's already saggy from a tiny loss of like 30lbs!!!

Things have not been good the last week. Weight loss has never been better. But im in a lot of pain. I went to the walk in centre as my doctors was closed due to staff training. They gave me antibiotics. This was Thursday. Now the pain in my upper abdomen is so so bad. I would compare it to intense contractions in my upper stomach. Then just hurting all the time in between. I couldn't eat yesterday. I managed a bite of food and it made the pain worse. I was able to drink the first half of the day. Now drinking hurts. Its not bad enough to go to the er. So I'll be heading to my drs on Monday. But this really is horrible. No constipation. No sickness bug. I wonder if anyone has had gald bladder issued and if this sounds like it could be that ? I've googled and I know self diagnosis is never a good idea hense why I'm going to my doctors Monday. I lost 5lbs this week through barely eating. Its like this has been building up and I didn't notice. Now I'm in agony and I wish I could stop breathing for a minute because it hurts more when breathing in and out.

Hi, I am 4th july , I have no idea what it could be , though my tummy never feels great in the morning, even drinking water in the morning is uncomfortable. I hope someone offers you some help

Hi My advice to you , would be to book in with your Doctor for a blood test, I have two kids neither of them showed positive till I was pretty sure I was pregnant lol , I had a blood test with them both, its the only way to be sure right now, some people prefer to wait it out though , I am not one of those people so only you can answer that one, if you prefer to wait it out, but if you are trying start taking folic acid and prenatels now , this is what I did Relax , dont feel crazy it really sounds like this is something you never dreamed of happening so its understandable it seems unreal

Last week : 213 MID WEEK i was 210. today 208!!!!!!! i couldnt believe it i have asked everyone to use my scale and it confirmed there correct weight its hard to believe so i am not sure yet lol 5lbs in a week is unheard of for me

How long are we allowed to fast as a sleever?

I've had hunger since surgery. But this last week. I just don't want to or feel like eating. I had 4 ounce of protein this after noon . 8 pm now so to late to eat and feel abit odd today. Cals for this week have been low. But I thought you eat when hungry. Last week I was eating more often as was hungry. Now 300 cal for the day and I'm done. Is this okay ? Weekends are higher I think not sure about this weekend as I feel like I won't have much of an appetite. Can the ghrenlin removal start working now?

Nothings wrong with you. Take a deep breath. Its normal for the scale to stop . mine did for 4 weeks. Its so discouraging. But it will move again. Try and up your water though it was 8 weeks till I could hit 2litres and it wasn't consistent. Keep at it.
