I'm 2 months out and last time I checked I had lost over 40lbs. I'm happy with 3-5 lbs a week. There have been a few stable but then I loose like 8 lbs the next week. I'm off my sleep machine and one bp med. My bp has been 90/70 for the last 2 weeks so I'm pretty sure I will be loosing my last bp med! My goal was to get off my bp meds and be healthy. I am thrilled I'm almost that goal.

Hi! Was sleeved 2/18 and was doing fantastic up to 3 1/2 weeks ago...was getting in all my protiens (some pureed chicken, chicken salad, egg salad, omelets, etc), and most of my water/fluid intake. I was doing great & adjusting really well to the change.

Then about 4 weeks post-op I got an upper respiratory infection; went on 10 days of "Avelox" antibiotic (I'm allergic to most antibiotics; that problem existed pre-surgery)....the antibiotic made me sooo sick; i threw up every day for 3-4 days straight.

Since then, i've had very little appetite & can't seem to get back on track with my protien OR my Water intake. All I could eat for those 10 days was basically saltines & hot tea! I saw my surgeon & nut last week; everything fine surgery-wise; nut said that the antibiotic can wreak havoc on my new stomach and that, in time, i'd get back to pre-infection diet.

I'm not having any luck getting back; i've even tried starting over completely from square one....broth, pureed Soups, jello....but now EVERTHING makes me feel naseous or worse.

This ever happen to anyone else? Any suggestions as to how to get back on track?

I'm also still absolutely craving a diet coke; how long, on average, does it take the "head hunger" to dissipate? I was extremely addicted to the diet soda (DietDrPepper; YUM!); can just one once in while be okay as long as I let it go flat 1st??

Thank you for any help!!

Poor you! I wonder if you could manage a spoonful or two of live bio-yoghurt every day. Anti-biotics can destroy the natural flora in your gut and live youghurt encourages re-collonisation. This must be so frustrating for you, but you sound like you are doing the right thing taking things gently.

Good luck

To Maagie517: Try taking a probiotic supplement as well as yogurt to replenish your good bacteria. Also, maybe you should call your PC Dr and see if they can give you something to calm your nausea. Your stomach and intestines might be inflamed and irritated. I hope you feel better soon. We all want to lose weight but it's important to try to maintain our wellbeing in the process. I do think that surgery in general weakens the immune system and since one's digestive track is an integral part of the immune system the VSG surgery may make us more susceptible and slower to recover. Plus, try a little chicken noodle Soup. ????

pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4

Maybe ask your doctor about an anti-emetic (something to help with the nausea)?

Another big NSV today. I bought my third wardrobe since 1/31. I went from 52 inch jeans to 40 inch and 3XLT shirts to 1XLT. I'll probably be at 34 or 36 inch pants and LT shirts when I hit my goal.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
