Hi friends,

A bit upset and sad. I’m at day 20 since my VSG and have only lost two lbs since April 3rd. I’m eating the 800-1000 calories my doctor asked of me but I’m not losing any weight. I feel like I’m doing something wrong or made a mistake. I lost 20lbs in the first 9 days but now I’m at a standstill. I’ve heard of the 2nd or 3rd week stall but 10 days sounds a bit much. I’m starting to wonder if I made a mistake. It’s really getting to me. I hear of all these people getting full after three bites of food and I’m not one of them. I’m constantly hungry and snacking on the meals I’m allowed to have

Please help I’m really going through it right now.

I’ve been there I was losing it, everywhere I looked there was food. It definitely suck but I promise it gets better and makes that first day of purée foods a blessing. I’m 12 days post op and I had the same feeling. TRUST me it gets better and I know it’s easier said then done but it will get better.

I'm 3 days post op & already looking up meals. You are not alone!

Hi friends,

Looking for some encouragement. It’s my first day home after surgery, I was in quarantine for a few days. I used to always have a routine of eating a big Breakfast before I took my son to school and no after surgery I can’t and I’m a little bummed out. I know it’s all going to be worth it, but right now I’m struggling to see it.

Hopefully it gets better

Hi friends

I’m 4 days post op and am pretty dehydrated I’m definitely getting my liquids in but no urinating. I ended up having to buy liquid IV because pedialyte wasn’t working. Anyone else have the same issue? I just don’t want to go to the hospital again just to get hydrated.

Thanks

Everything went well I just had really bad gas pains on my left abdomen area and shoulders when I breathe in. Everyone keeps saying it’s normal but I always wonder if it’s a leak. I can’t even sleep on my left side or I get a sharp pain and if I get up it’s like a spasm of pain

On my way to the hospital friends, looking forward to a successful surgery and recovery. I hope to talk to you guys sometime later. Thanks for all your support

Getting discharged today. Had a little swelling near the biggest incision site but I’m assuming that normal and the nurse also confirmed it. Not much of an appetite but I’ll stay as hydrated as possible. I’m curious to see how much weight I lose in the next few months

I have about 5 incision scars, really small. I’m a bit swollen but that’s expected. Just haven’t been able to sleep much

Haven’t been able to eat much, not much of an appetite but I know I’ll eventually have one.

My blood sugars slowly came down last night which is good. Still dealing with some gas discomfort but I’m going to walk it off.

I did notice I had some swelling around the incisions and was wondering if anyone else had the same.

Also if you guys can let me know what I’m looking for as far as weight loss in the first month.

Currently 247
