A few bites? Believe it or not you are likely over eating, or eating too fast. 3.5 weeks out I could only eat about 1/2 an eg before I was full. Are you waiting 2-3 minutes between bites?

There is still a lot of swelling right now, so the amount you can eat will be amazingly small.

I am 2months out today and 1 large egg is about my limit in one setting, maybe a slice of turkey bacon with it, maybe.

Well, my celebration was short lived... I was in the 200's for that one day only... been back up to 300.x for the past two days. I've only lost approx 5 lbs since July 1st. Definitely feeling like a big fat FAILURE with this sleeve right now. FML.

Aww thanks Sleeve Newbie- I was being rather dramatic and having a pity party. lol Reality is, the diff between the # I saw on sat and the #s I saw yesterday and today is a restroom break or so.. LOL And I am fully accountable to the fact I HAVE NOT been getting in my Protein. So this week I am pounding the Protein hard and seeing where that gets me! Sorry to be a momentary downer!! LOL

I think 30 lbs is awesome! I'm 3 weeks out and still hovering at the same weight. Total of 10 lbs or so. I'm so discouraged. Why the heck doesn't this weight want to come off?

I feel ya. I'm 2 days shy of 4 weeks and have only lost 12 pounds. It's discouraging, but I'm trying to hang in there. It has to come off eventually, right?

I am soooo glad I started this thread - so I can come back and visit it at times like NOW, since I am stalled again!! LOL

Been at 300 now for a week.... but I am handling this stall MUCH better than the first....not wanting to go postal. Just realizing that I may not be losing as fast as I'd like, BUT, it's going to happen. And I am wearing clothes I haven't worn in over 3 years (NSV!)....

SO, I am hanging in there!! How is everyone's else progress going???

Stalls suck:(. I'm 51/2 weeks out and lost 30lbs as of this morn, very slow moving as I lost first 20lbs the first 2 weeks... I've come to realize I lose 1lb every 2-3 days... Slow but will be better for my flabby skin in the long run I guess.

I'm a month out as of today and I know I should be thrilled with 20 pounds in that time but 13 of it came in the first week. When I was dieting on my own for four months pre-op I was losing 15-17 a month so I guess I expected more quicker. I know I can only blame myself for not going to the gym as often as I need to and not counting my Protein but when I look at what and how much I eat it's hard to believe I'm not losing weight! Went to the DR on Monday and the NUT said that she's noticed the patients who lose a lot before surgery (65 lbs in 4 1/2 months for me) tend to stall or plateau sooner... not that helpful! lol I just want to get my energy back so I can get back in the gym like I was before!

Good to know I'm not the only one who's a little discouraged! However, I know a negative attitude is only going to hurt me... and we obviously have everyone's support here! Go June sleevers! :)

I lost pretty fast the first week, but since has been slow. Next week will be two months from surgery and I am down around 35 lbs. Not as fast as many of you, but it is what it is. It is coming off and that is what matters.

Blondeej....how's it going?

HEY girl! I lost 2.4 lbs last week. Down to 298 now. So over 7 weeks I've averaged 5.8 lbs lost/week - so I CANNOT complain! These stalls in there just mess with your head bad!

How are you doing? scale still moving?

Also, to anyone that cares, my ytube channel is blondeej82 - been doing vlog updates on there! :) check it out if you'd like! :)

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
