I totally agree, 1 pound a day is completely unrealistic, and really irresponsible of your medical guy to say so. All that's done has set you up to expect that loss, and when you don't achieve it, you feel bad, and feel like you are failing - which you totally aren't. Everyone loses weight at a different speed, so it's not healthy comparing yourself to others. So many things impact it - your age, starting weight, genetics etc, so there is no 'one size suits all'. As long as you are eating mindfully, keeping up your Fluid intake, your Protein intake, and aren't having sugary or low quality junk food, you will lose weight. I'm losing 1kg a week now, 3 months post surgery, and that's good, healthy and sustainable. More importantly, I don't feel like I'm on a 'diet'. I'm just eating (mostly) good, healthy food, and enjoying it.
Please don't compare, or expect to lose a pound a day. You'll only get demoralized, sad and most likely turn to food to comfort yourself.
I'm sending you positive, happy vibes. ❤️

Hi, I had my sleeve on 22 August, and have been taking meds whole since the day after surgery. It was a little difficult the first few days because you can only swallow little sips of liquid, but the past couple of days I've been absolutely fine. I find it helps if the liquid is warm.

Because she feels now she is about to imbark on this journey that her frame of mind would be changing by now. She feels she shouldn't have almost done what she feels she should not be doing on this new path though she has not had the surgery yet.

What is so confusing ?

She could have eaten the whole meal but she wants to change her way of eating and eat healthier before surgery which is commendable. I on the other hand did this a lot before surgery and was scared it meant I wouldn't do well post surgery. Luckily the sleeve stops me from eating the wrong things. I needed more than willpower alone. I am admiring this lady for still being able to eat this kind of food. But still chose not to. Amazing.

Great news all around! Saw my cardiologist and hd,said blood work was great and even decreased my metoporal down from 50mg to 25 and says by December I should be off it totally! Yeah!!!!
Saw my surgeon he said my blood work numbers were perfect! ! They gad me weighed at 247. He said it's ok, I am building muscle and he wants me to do that. Number on the scale he does not concern much about as long as clothes are getting looser. Inches count!!! He said in the end it will all come together. Do not stress just keep doing what I am doing and ignore the scale til I get weighed there.
I see him again in Nov.
He said it's going to be like this, lose,then plateau, then lose. Let the body do its thing.
I felt do much better. I,see my kidney doc in October but cardiologist had some kidney blood work and he told me it's doing great!
I feel like a weight was lifted. I,was so sure I was doing something wrong.
He said build the muscles to increase the metabolism.
Thank you all for your input and listening! You are my support and I really,andppreciate it!!

I had pcos for years had surgery 13 months ago and started trying last month well today I got a positive pregnancy test so it can definitely happen good luck.

Even early on in ur surgery you can go out to restaurants with friends. I was only 4 days post-op and went to Japanese Hibachi...of course all I could eat was the clear onion Soup and drink Water, but I got to socialize and be with friends. I asked the waiter to bring me a bowl with everyone elses appetizer and then i ordered another bowl during main course....I didnt finish either and just sipped on it, but at least I had something in front of me while everyone was eating. Last night (7 days post-op) I went to the local bar with my friends and drink very diluted cranberry juice...it looked like a mixed drink to everyone else. There are ways to still socialize and be with those you love in public eating places...u just have to b creative and the socialization may help to get ur mind off what ur dealing with emotionally.

The surgery went well! I had some breathing problems directly after, but they sorted them out in the recovery room and it's been getting better every day since.
Came home on day 3, I was so ready to be out of the hospital! Not a lot of nausea for me, mostly my irritation is the gas. That and not over-exerting myself. I don't have a lot of real pain, so it's very easy for me to over do it and then be completely wiped out for a day.

Nine weeks out and I have a new face.

Hi all! Hope everyone is doing well since surgery ... I'm 8 weeks out so far I'm down 35lbs since surgery day! Here is my 2 month picture ... one was 4 days prior to surgery & the other is this past wednesday ... I thankfully can tolerate 99% of anything ... I've noticed cold cuts (roast beef in particular) is something I can't, other than that I'm doing great! This was the best decision I've ever made!

Had to post these pics of my 9 week progress:

How did you go? How are you now? I'm not feeling too bad at day 3 post surgery. Came home yesterday, and have just been resting, dozing and watching TV. I've found I tolerate warm drinks better than cold ones. Managed about 35 FL.oz of liquid today, but only one of them was a Protein Drink. I'm so grateful that I had very little nausea, did have bad pain for the first few hours after surgery, till me a few hours to get stable in recovery. How are you?

Here's a thought --- how about you CALM DOWN. I asked advice on a subject that is widely known about in the wls community that you obviously have no knowledge of, so why bother replying? I am doing exactly as my surgeon told me, he told me to lose the weight and I lost it. Thanks for your negative input, though. You must have had a really bad day.

I'm your surgery twin. Mine is in a couple of hours - it's the 22nd where I am. Good luck.
