OMG...

I will be 3 weeks post op tomorrow and I was pretty down on Wednesday that I had only lost 17lbs in two weeks. Everyone is telling me that I am looking alot skinnier but I just couldnt believe it. I decided to measure myself this evening and I had to measure 3 times to make sure I was seeing the right numbers.

Pre-Op

50 inches bust

42 below bust

47 Waist

57 Hips

Today Post op

43 Bust

38 Below Bust

41 Waist

50 Hips

Is this even possible. OMG, now this makes me want to work out even more!

I was sleeved on Dec 3, 2 days before my birthday, and I'm down 37 pounds so far. It is difficult to get as much Protein in as we are supposed to. My Dr recommends 70 grams a day. I have 1 Protein Shake a day and will try to supplement the remaining with veggie burgers, Greek yogurt and Protein Bars. What are others using to get in protein? I absolutely can't do whey protein. Gag!!!

I am Post-Op day 5. Wow! What have your physicians been telling you about why you get a"stall" in weight and what a stall means to us as Sleevers?

Hi! You are probably not doing anything wrong. I was sleeved on 12/3 and have only lost 22 lbs. I stalled for a week! It's all a learning curve and if you read through this thread, you'll see a lot of other fellow sleevers who have lost slowly too. Sometimes it's just our bodies. Sometimes we are not getting enough Protein and fluids, but I think in my case it's just that my body is getting used to my sleeve. I expect to lose tons of weight in the long run! It'll be great :-) Hang in there. I'm sure you're doing better than you think. How do your clothes fit?

Faith in Christ can move mountains <3
