Gaind 4 Lbs 13 Days Post Op :"(



Recommended Posts

Your first 6 weeks are for healing. You have put your body into starvation mode and therefore your metabolism has come to a screeching halt. Your body is holding onto everything it can get. Until you start eating real food and upping your calories and regular exercise, you body is going to fight you. Put the scale away..........now is the time for healing.

Watch what I eat I was still on liquids only two Protein shakes a day Water crystal light .....I don't understand when you say watch what you eat I'm not eating food yet I suppose to start on mushies today.....? Explain please

Every dr has a different regime so wasn't sure where you were in the process. I was just saying that from this day forward you are learning to live with the band...and while you move from liquids to mushies to food it's important to be mindful of your calorie Intake. Since you don't have much restriction to aide you.

I am of the mindset that people who don't pay attention to what they are eating when they can start are less likely to see the results early on. That may not be your case. Since You are worried about starting ... all I was saying is to try tracking what you are eating to prevent further gains. I am sure you will start seeing results

I'm so glad to see this thread and all the comments. I thought I was doing something wrong. I'd been losing steadily until last Thursday and I'm stuck at the same number. I do go in on Friday for my first fill.

This may happen more then once. I have been at a stand still for two weeks now. Nothing lost, but nothing gained. I just continue on and will wait for the ay for a chunk to fall! I have my nine month post op visit next week. No fills planned as I still don't get hungry. I'll ask if I need to change anything. Just keep on following the rules.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
