July Sleevers

Uhh Im stuck on the scale. Im 3weeks post, will be 4 weeks on Monday. Its only showing 13.5 lb loss & over 13 inches. Thats terrible! Im only getting 400-600 calories a day. My doctor wont let me walk or exercise until after 4 weeks.

Any ideas? Has anyone else been like this?

    The dreaded 3 week stall. It's a very well known phenomenon in the world of VSG. Some have it a 2 weeks, others at 4 weeks but the majority have it at 3 weeks. Hang in there and keep following your do

Where are our July sleevers? How are ya'll doing?

Im not doing so well I will be five weeks tomorrow & I havent loss any since week two. I gotta make some serious changes. Surely this is not all the weight I am going to lose...soooo upset....ugh

My surgery was 7/19 and I'm down 74lbs. I'm not looking forward to any stall!!!! I've been blessed to have lost a total of 74 which includes the ten day prep diet.

Wow! That's amazing results. Are you exercising too, or is tha totally from the sleeve? Amazing job.

Dont give up girl! I hv went thru a stall (wk 3) but i ws losing inches during tht time. Ive noticed tht if i havent went to the bathrm in 3 or more days tht that makes you weigh more. (Sry I knw thts gross). But had this prob before surgury & it continues.

I ws sleeved on July 16 th & its coming off slowly. I will weigh this wk sometime to see wht I hv lost. My biggest deal is intaking fluids!

But dont give up! If you're eating less, it will come off.

Thats is wonderful...I am so happy for you.... I was sleeved July 24 & including my 14 day pre-op I am down 33 lbs mostly from pre-op....I hope that I am not the one of those people that go months without losing

I was wondering about the bathroom thing as well....I was every two days now it more like 5 to 7 days....my Doc told me that I need to get more fluids in....which that helped some. I try to walk at least two or three times a week. I just went back to work Saturday & my job is physical so maybe with the moving & lifting of the arms, & standing all day will help. Best wishes to you....I know there is hope just ready to see a big differences

That is an amazing loss! Do you mind sharing you starting weight and bmi.

I am 7 weeks out.... Surgery date was July 10,2012. I am a band to sleeve revision patient andorra 24 lbs in 18 months with the band. I've lost exactly 20 lbs since beginning my pre-pp diet for a total of 44 lbs. I'm running out of clothes now....

If you are on the net you should be able to click on your username & then click "my settings"

Stalls will come and go...I was sleeved on July 30th. My weight was 296 when I started my 10 day pre op diet, my surgery day I was 280 and today was my one month check up and I weighed in at 252!!! I am very excited but I did have my 3 week stall where I didn't lose more than 2 lbs for almost 10 days then it just started to fall off again!! Keep at it and it will dip down again. Congrats so far everyone!!!

PS I never have taken my measurements...Should I be?

I am feeling so much better. I went in for surgery at 5' 4' date=' 203 lbs and weighed 183 this morning. I had a stall for over 2 weeks and it is my TOM so I think that is great. Best of all I am OFF my metformin and bp meds and my energy level is increasing. I will be one month out tomorrow.
