May Sleeve Buddies!

Mommyinneed, no I didn't have an infection. I was just being a worry wart. 2 weeks out now, just started on mushies & doing great. I had my doc look at it and she said it looked normal and I said are you sure? Lol, I'm the type who needs something to worry about.

I was somewhat dehydrated (from my trip home) which led to an electrolyte imbalance & low heart rate, but that was easily fixed with Gatorade & 100 oz of Fluid for 4 days straight.

Now I'm just worried that one day this wonderful, wonderful weight loss will end & reverse itself like it has so many times before. It just seems too good to be true....but like I said I need something to worry about

Hope you are all better, or getting there! That doesn't sound like it was fun at all.

My surgeon said to expect a stall 3 or 4 th week, because you lose some muscle the first few weeks bc of the full liquid diet. He said once you start adding Protein in ur foods and shakes, you gain some of that muscle back so you hit a stall. He said no fear, and to expect loss again the week after. So keep ur head up!

I'm not afraid of stall I don't think....I'm expecting them & soon too. I'm afraid of something more permanent.

I guess, like a lot of us, I'm just afraid that this won't work for me & be just another failure in a long line of failures.

No reason for it though. I'm doing great right now, it's just a worry at the back of my mind.

I am at a stall too, I think it is going to happen. It is just our body adjusting to the new liquids or foods I think.
