Yayyyy! Mine pains have finally lightened up(I hope). I feel good! I am up to walking a mile since surgery. I guess that is good since I'm only 8 days out from surgery. I'm a little bummed out though. I haven't lost ANY weight in the last 2 days! I don't know what to do. I'm only taking in aprox. 400 calories. Maybe I'm not giving it enough time. Idk...

Hi Jennifer I was sleeved one day before you. I recently had 3 days where I didn't lose a thing! It was si disheartening especially when your are only eating around 400 calories. But the weight has started falling off again so don't lose heart.

Wow' 23 lbs that is awesome! I think I'm doing pretty good emotionally. Sometimes I think, just what have I done! I wouldn't change it for

Nothing though. I'm still disappointed about not loosing as much as I has suspected I would. :( I think a lot of it is I'm not using the bathroom regular. Are u having any problems with that? How are you doing emotionally?

Emotionally has def been hard! I cry a lot, but I have good support that help a lot. I think to myself too "what did I do?" it gets better each day. At first I wasnt really using the restroom, but since I've been exercising it helped a lot!!

[*]Jen' date=' I was sleeved 4/4 and have lost 8lbs. I was really frustrated-as my cal intake has been around 400per day as well. My nut said that my body is in starvation mode and I actually need more Protein and calories. Hopefully week 2 or 3 I will get my BIG #. We should just relax a little and learn how to use our new tools! Are you getting in your 64 oz Water every day? That has been difficult for me due to nausea.

I'm still not getting all of my Water in! It's hard!! I have made it up to 56 oz.

Hi everyone!

I was sleeved on 4/3/2012!! I'm feeling discouraged though because I have stalled and I was wondering if this has happened to any of you!? I'm really worried. I'm walking about 2 miles 4 days out of the week already. I'm getting all my Protein in. Please any feedback would be so helpful!

Yes same happened to me. I had mine April 3 too! Dr said its normal right now we lose mostly muscle while our stomach heals. When healed you can intake more protein and gain muscle and lbs will start rolling off she said.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
