I was sleeved on Nov 12th... And have lost 25 pds... I weighted 240 the day of surgery, 215 now. My highest was 310 so I have come a long way :)

When I had my surgery I was at a weightloss stall...

During the first two weeks I quickly lost 20... And since then only 5 :/

I was stuck on a stall again... But slowly I've dropped a pound here and there.

I am really trying to drink Water and I just started working out but I am sooooo weak.

Eventhough I feel that am not lossing fast enough in terms of pounds... I do think inches are coming off... I can see and feel the difference.

Compliments are an ego boost too :)

Sleeved nov 16th. Had some internal bleeding & need multiple blood transfusions& had to take Iron post-op(-->constant abdominal pain& burning from iron).

Highest wt 245, day of surgery 226lbs. Now at 205lbs. Starting period. I had a 2 wk stall at 210 then was able to drink more& went from 500 cal to 650 to get body out of starvation mode. Walk 30 min a day. I'm a slow loser, but at least I got some wt off.

I hope you are doing better. I was sleeved on November 27th and I could not keep anything down. Turned our my sleeve was inside my hernia that was repaired. Recover has been rough. Glad you are walking. Planning on adding it next week.

I had my 6 wk post op appt today (surgery on 11-5) & have lost 32lbs. I had a stall when I started eating solid foods at week 4 and in week 5 I pumped up my Water intake big time... 100 oz. The increased water intake worked & dropped 5lbs in week 5. I'm excited to see where I am next month, in 3 months, 6 months, etc.... I'm loving my sleeve!

My first food test was this past weekend at a party & food was EVERYWHERE! I didn't deny myself of anything but I only chose foods that I thought would taste good. I would take ONE small bite and throw the rest away. If it didn't taste wonderful, I spit it out (it wasn't worthy of filling up my tummy). I only had one small bite of whatever I wanted & surprisingly, I only tried 5-6 things & didn't swallow each item I tried. It worked well!

My surgery was 11/8. Lost 12 the first week, and then didn't weigh again until 3 weeks out. In the 2nd and 3rd week I only lost 5 lbs total, and definitely felt I had stalled. I was really dreaming out about it. Then I started soft foods and two weeks later lost 10 more lbs. I think the stall has a lot to do with your body adjusting to a limited liquid diet. When I introduced food, my energy increased and I think it jump started my metabolism again. I still struggle with Protein and liquids, but do my best. I also have hypothyroidism, which doesn't help in the weight loss process...

Freaking out *

And my pre-surgery weight was 337. After five weeks I'm at 310. So excited to finally be in the 200s for the first time since high school!

Hi! I was thinking, if your feeling weak, maybe check to make sure you have enough Iron and B12. I was feeling the same way and turned out I was deficient in B12. Hope you feel better!

I was sleeved 11-27 I was 240 at surgery and went to my followup appointment and was 227. It has been two weeks since that follow up appointment and know I am 223. I just started blended food today but before I have been on liquids about less than 600 calories a day. My friends keep telling that it is just temp that my body is adjusting. So I will just go with that. I am trying to increase my walking time to help.

It is temp, I average 2lbs a week and that's normal. If you loose to fast you'll have more flab. You didn't put it on in one day so please take your time taking it off.

      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. 💜

        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!

        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. 😍

      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. 💗

        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. 💜
