Social eating after gastric sleeve
msleo88 replied to TriStateSleever's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 5 months out and just use moderation. I go out with friends and just take what I don't eat home. I occasionally drink a cocktail. I still wait 30 minutes between eating and drinking. When eating with family I focus on protein. I just try to do my best to make the best choices but don't beat myself up to bad for having a social life Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app -
Thanks everyone! I appreciate everyone's insight. I figured it might have been hormone related but just wasn't sure. Hopefully this ends soon [emoji854] Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello, Before I begin if you are male you can exit the post. Soooooo ladies I was sleeved 12/16 I began taking low birth control about a month before. Periods have been pretty normal until this month. I've literally been on my cycle for about a month now and my OBGYN doesn't seem concerned saying it's the birth control regulating......what from 5 months ago?!?!? So my aunt brought up that it could be the surgery so has anyone experienced anything like this before???? I'm just a little nervous because I've never experienced this before? [emoji28] sorry this is tmi but someone give me some online insight.... I've been to the Dr already Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello, I had sleeve on 12/16 and my weight has not moved much and today I noticed it's back up 3lbs. I lost 13lbs on pre op but nothing after surgery. Is this normal? I'm feeling discouraged. I've been on full liquids. I get my Protein in the form of shakes and yogurt. It's hard to get fluids in but I am doing that too. Any advice or help?

Weight gain or standstill
msleo88 replied to msleo88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes just keep at it. Follow your program and ignore that darn scale. I barely get on the scale nowadays. I just measure inches and compare myself in clothes. I was in a 4x before surgery I'm in a 2x and some 1x. Also took a trip and no longer need a extender for the seat belt. Those victories alone let me know I'm moving in the right direction.

Hello all, I'm about 60 days post op. I lost 11 lbs liquid diet and 20lbs since surgery. I am feeling down because everyone around me seems to be dropping weight but me. I do the treadmill at Planet Fitness. I'm following the after surgery phases to the letter. I get 80 to 90 Oz of water a day. I've lost nothing in over 7days in fact according to the scale I've gained a lb or two. I feel my baratric team is not giving me clear guidelines. I asked nutrition how many calories per day her response is don't count calories. Huh?!?!? My nutrition team keeps saying the scale is not a true indicator for weight loss but shouldn't it move some..... I just feel down today about it. Someone help me out I don't wanna fail.

I agree because I feel smaller and can tell in clothes. I am terrible about remembering to measure myself. Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

I appreciate all of the responses. It's so nice to have good folks to snap me back into reality. I'm going to stop obsessing over that scale and focus on my new lifestyle. It's easier said than done but no more scale obsession. Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app

Weight gain or standstill
msleo88 replied to msleo88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey everyone just checking in. So today is exactly a month since surgery..... I've lost 9lbs.....scale hardly moves I've been at 291 for a week now. I went to see my surgeon about a week ago and she seems pleased. I can tell in my face and arms I've lost weight but the scale is just not moving at all. I'm trying to keep the faith but it's hard when I read people lost 15 lbs a month after surgery and I'm not even at 10lbs. [emoji37] Sent from my SM-A716U using BariatricPal mobile app -
