Great job everyone! I think as long as your urine isn't dark yellow that you'll be fine. Mine seems to be a light yellow, very pale but not dark at all. I feel fine also, so I think you need to take that into consideration. I lost 4.5 pounds since the surgery on March 8. I hope that is good because I don't remember ever losing that much before in a week.

I had surgery on March 8 too. I really haven't had a lot of pain to speak of but I'm tired all the time. Even 12-13 days out I'm still tired. Got some B complex, multi-vitamins, and Iron supplements. Hopefully that will help. It's been a big mental adjustment so far but I'm making it day by day. Too bad that something so worthwhile can't be easy too isn't it??

As of yesterday I am down 17.5 pounds. I've been eating some mushies the past few days. No problems and I feel a whole lot better even if I can only eat a very small amount.

Good luck to everyone and may we all become the thin person we have only dreamed of up until now.

I was sleeved March 8th too. I'm down 21lbs including the weight I lost during my pre-op. I haven't lost a single once this whole week though. Starting to worry I'm not doing something right. I'm doing pretty good at getting Protein and liquids in and walking daily. Hope it starts moving soon :-)

I'm doing the same thing. Weight is at a stand still already. Trying not to get discouraged. I'm eating right and drinking the Water. I think maybe our bodies are playing catch up trying to figure out how we misplaced our stomach, when it has been in the same place our entire life then in a matter of minutes.......gone! haha Happy adjusting, I can't wait! My tummy area is still sore but very manageable now. I will try to start exercising soon.

I'm at the 18 pound mark so far. I'm a little scared its coming off so fast without working out. I can't wait to get the clearance to start working out again. Scared of the lose skin.

That's over 1 pound a day. That's great! I would love to see that but afraid it isn't happening over here.

I think it's normal for a week 3 stall. I'm thinking I just hit that a lil early. I'm not too worried though. Just gonna keep on chugging along. Excited to start puréed foods tomorrow :-) never been so happy to eat an egg :-)

An egg? Oh what I would do to have an egg right now!! ;0 Still on liquids over here but I'm having an issue getting in my Protein. I was out of my whey Protein and only had some Body by Vi stuff hanging around, so I made a shake using that and well .... lets just say I was ill! Way too sweet, nauseated, felt sweaty, shaky .... and then I had to use the bathroom! Ugh! So I haven't actually had any shake since then. I have had some creamy Soups but they seem too heavy almost. I can tolerate fat free yogurt but the Soups make me feel a little ill.

I need to go grocery shopping to get some protein stuff -- right now I'm trying to get down some Muscle Milk as I need more protein. I feel like I'm in a stall - actually, I am in a stall. I haven't lost since a few days ago. I do feel constipated too .... funny how one minute I could be going to the washroom 5 times a day and then the next day -- none at all.

I hope you're all doing well! I have now thrown in the treadmill today - just a brisk walk but glad I got on it. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
