I’m 5’4”. Sleeved April 12th HW 217 SW 207 CW 191 Not losing as quickly as I like but I am unable to go back to the gym until the end of June due to hiatal hernia repair. Also I turn 70 next month lol which might be part of it! But I am very happy as I feel so much better and have dropped 2 sizes!

I’m also stalled and haven’t lost for two weeks. The NUT said I needed to up my calorie intake to over 700 calories a day. It is a struggle and I guess in my mind I thought the weight would miraculously drop off every day, but it stops while our bodies regroup. You are definitely not alone! HW 217 Sw 207 CW 193 Lost the 14 lbs the first 2 weeks and not 1 lb since

Good luck. You’re on the way to getting well, every day will be better! You were smart enough to insist that they listen. You’ve got this!

Thank you so much I have been diabetic for over 15 years just short of using insulin as well I guess I will have to be more patient At least you’ve given me hope! Thanks!

Thanks. I should have mentioned this was my endocrinologist. I’m hoping that as time goes on I will stabilize.

I’m feeling down. It’s been 3 1/2 weeks since my sleeve and I thought my diabetes would be resolved. Instead my Dr wants to start insulin to “shock” my pancreas because my glucose is going up again. On top of that I’ve stalled after losing 13 lbs. Did I make a mistake? I was never on insulin before. HW 217 SW 207 CW 193 Surgery 4/12/18

Hi everyone! I was sleeved on April 12th HW 217 SW 207 CW 194 So today it’s 3 weeks post surgery and I’m trying scramble eggs with cheese and chili chewed. I can’t eat much at a time But get full fast and seem to have to eat every couple of hours. Haven’t lost anything g I’m a week. Yes I want pretzels and I think I’m stalling from having them. Help

I was hungry too for the 3 rd or 4 th day but it passed. I just kept drinking water and eating ice pops or jello. The gurgling noises aren’t really hunger just our bodies adjusting. Give it a couple more days and both will pass

You’ve got this! Every day gets easier from here.

I also had hiatal hernia and umbilical hernia repair and I was told no gym not even the treadmill for 6 weeks. Walking only. And I am drinking 2 protein shakes a day. 12 days out from surgery.

I had 3 umbilical hernia repairs prior to VSG last one with mesh. Also had gall bladder removed. I was nervous too about the scar tissue. I’m happy to say that everything went well even tho he had to remove the old mesh and sew the hernia up again! He also repaired a large hiatal hernia with mesh at the same time. All laparoscopically! You’ll be fine. Definitely be up front so he’s not surprised! They’re surgeons and can do quite a bit. My recovery has been relatively easy considering. Sleeved April 12th HW 217 SW 207 CW 196

Thanks

Thank you. It’s 10 days post op and they’re up to 190 without any meds and I worry. Hoping they go down.

The first 3-4 days I also felt hungry. I just kept drinking water and it has gone away by day 9. It also may be from excess stomach acid. Talk to your doctor. I did lose 10 lbs so far so it’s worth it.!

I felt hungry and it wasn’t because other people were eating as I live alone. It got better by a week out. Some of it may be stomach acid but I was really shocked!
