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.

      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.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
