Recommended Posts

How are all the March Sleeves Doing...I'm stalled out right now have not lose any weight for about 8 days... but I been walking 2-3 miles every other day....trying to eat my Proteins first. I slip up a couple times...gave into sugar cravings. I been pushing fluids but that's a uphill battle. I feel GREAT...and have a lot of energy...Feel like a 20 something :) Please share any ideals and updates!!

I had surgery on 3/15 and things have been a bit rough. I have lost 21 lbs since surgery but between the blood clot and an infected incision and the fatigue and dizziness ...well...let's just say I'm glad the first month is over. I'm getting better but it has been a long and hard process.

I was sleeved march 1. Weight before surgery 211 weight day of surgery 187 current weight 159. As you seen in one of my posts I had a slip up too with sweets. Been excercising at the 3-5 days a week. 3-5 miles bike/treadmill then 20 mins of working arms/legs. I have been losing slowly. I just got over a two week stall! I too feel great. Have an unlimited amount of energy as well!!

I was sleeved March 21. Weight when I started this journey in October 2011 -- 298; Weight day of surgery 248; Current weight 229. I've been true to the Diet Phases (Clear liquids, Full Liquids, Puree, etc.) I have been walking 2-3 miles 5 days a week. A bit frustrated that I lost approximately 10 lbs each month prior to surgery and then a pound a day for the first two weeks, but only lost 5 lbs in weeks 3-4. I feel good but needed 3 solid weeks to build up my energy. I am craving salads and broccoli!

I was sleeved on 3/16. Doing really well, but also went through the plateau. I added a little bit of extra Protein and boy did that stall break - I lost 6 lbs last week. Down a total of 31.5 lbs. Unfortunately with all my walking an old injury flared up, so I have temorarily had to cut back.

Sleeved 3/12, weight the day of surgery: 271, current weight: 239! Woohoo! I've had numerous stalls, and due to my work schedule have had difficulty exercising daily, but I'm quite pleased with the results thus far. (and the numerous compliments from my husband and mother in law) :)

Hi all! I was sleeved March 12th. Was initially 240, Before surgery I was 228 and am now 197, so 31 lbs since surgery. While I am super excited to be below 200lbs for the first time in years, I am stuck on my second stall as well. I have heard that increasing protien can help break a stall but honestly eating is so much work (haha who would have ever thought I would say that) that I'm not sure at this time I can eat anymore. I'm just trying to stay positive and know that eventually it will pass... I hope :)

Was sleeved March 1 and I am down 50 lbs. I have officially entered my first stall and have been same weight for last week and half. I expected it so it does not bother me. Otherwise I am eating almost everything and enjoying my new life.

I had to quote you because we started around the same time and same weight...

I thought I was doing good until I read your post. Lol! I started at 243.6, surgery weighed 231.6 (on 3/13/12) and now 208. Here I was thinking I was a fast loser, but at only 23.6 lbs lost in 6 weeks I guess the jokes on me. Ha! I hit a stall 9 days out and stayed there for 2 weeks. I guess all things considered I'm still pretty proud of myself. Wonder woman, you are a true wonder. Any tips you want to share? You are doing so great.

Congrats to all the March losers (including me)!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
