I was sleeved on 5/24 and I'm going a little nutty trying to figure out if i'm doing it right. I constantly wonder if I'm eating too much or not enough. I'm pretty good about getting in all of my liquid and Protein is pretty good. I drink one Protein shake with 1% milk which gives me 29g of Protein. I also eat some greek yogurt because I was feeling hungry. I'm so terrified that i'm not going to lose any weight and I think i'm driving my husband crazy with all of my worrying.

The only thing to worry about this early out is healing, resting, and getting fluids in so you don't dehydrate. Sounds like you're doing fine. There are many changes to adjust to, and you just need to listen to your body. If you're hungry, eat! And drink constantly if you can. Trust me, you are definitely going to lose weight, so don't worry about eating too much because you can't, you're tummy won't let you!

Hi Newmommy05,

MB20mom is right! Right now you should be resting and trying to stay hydrated. I tried to at least get as much protien in the form of liquid as possible. But right now you are still swollen. Don't worry about the weightloss....it will come automatically. The sleeve is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck.

You are doing great. You will start to recognize the new sensations of your body, just be patient with yourself. Its a weird experience to get back in touch with how your body really feels, but you will get there!

Another "Ditto All The Above" and just wanted to add ... you are doing great with the Protein. For many of us, that was the big worry in the beginning since we couldn't get down the shakes.

Many of us drove our husbands, wives, significant others crazy. If it feels like too much, just come out here. We've all either been there, are there, or planning on being there. So, we can support one another.

I too drove my hubby nuts. I had a couple of very blue days - crying, very irritable...but that is in the past now. These girls know what they are talking about. You need to sip your liquids, 1-2 oz per 15 minutes...broths are good and soothing I found. I started in with some low fat campbells cream of chix Soup by the middle of the 2nd week and that was fabulous. fell in love with it. You will do fine and the weight will start to come off. At one point, I was loosing a pound a day, it was amazing! It has slowed down now at 4 weeks post op but I've already lost 20 lbs and I am estatic about that. Best of Luck to you in your journey. This website is the best place to go for questions, advice and just to air your feelings!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
