I would really appreciate your thoughts on this!!

I started my nut. supervised diet on Sept. 21,2012. I weighed 215lbs. & I'm 5'2" & lost 20lbs. On my 1 week pre-op liquid diet I lost 6lbs. I had my gastric sleeve surgery on Feb.26 2013. One week after surgery I has lost 6 more pounds. Last Monday I was feeling really sick, no energy, & faint....and my blood pressure was very low. I went to see my family doctor and he took me off all my meds. Thanks goodness!!! That was one of my main goals!! I've been off all my blood pressure meds. for 1 week today & I gained 2lbs. I'm still on the full liquid diet....I'm eating about 400-600 calories a day. I'm getting all my Water, Vitamins, and protien in. My problem is I HAVEN'T LOST ANYTHING IN A WEEK & I GAIN 2LBS!! I know it has only been 2 weeks today from my surgery, & I still have swelling, AND my body is adjusting to no blood pressure meds. BUT I'm frustrated!! Am I exspecting too much to soon? Why am I lot losing?

Its normal, your body is adjusting. You can never compare your results with someone else. You've had the surgery. Do what your doctor instructs you to do and you will lose. There is always a stall in the first few weeks to a month or so. Getting off your meds is the best news I hear! It really is a life saver and tells you that your body is on the right track!

Take your messurements ... guarentee your scale isnt telling the truth :) like the poster above said - you are experiencing a stall. Your body is in starvation mode and holding onto everything its got. This can often lead to a gain. You'll start losing again soon.

I had surgery the same day as you and I'm not losing any right now either. The past couple days. It will eventually come off. Just keep doing what you are doing! =) Our bodies are just in shock, that is all LOL! =)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
