Frustrated Sleever Post Op Day 9!

[pinkdiamondprincess36 20]

I had my sleeve surgery Apr 15 and came home 36 hrs later weighing 7 lbs more. It had to be my iv responsible for the wgt gain as all I had mon was a few ice chips. Tues I had water' date=' ice chips and one Protein shot. I gradually lost the 7 lbs and was back to my surgery day wgt (263 lbs) 7 days later (mon). Yesterday I lost a pound and today I gained it back. So after 9 days I am even again. This is extremely frutrating as I have done exactly what I have been told (except weighing every day). I was on Clear liquids until yesterday when I got to have full liquids and had a v8 juice, cup of skim milk, sf pudding and cream of chicken Soup. I have been getting in my 70 gr of Protein (because I actually can stomach the matrix mint cookie protein shakes). I have been drinking close to my 64 oz of Water. I was eating around 600 cal until yesterday and had around 700. I know some of you will say why are you weighing yourself every day but I say after all I have been through emotionally and financially I would like to see some results. If I hadn't weighed myself I still would have known that I had not lost wgt as my clothes fit the same. It is so hard to read posts where people are losing so much wgt when I am losing none. I know people will say to be patient but my patience is running out. I am very sorry I wasted my time and money on this surgery. I hope someone reading this who hasn't had the surgery would see not everyone is losing big numbers. I wish I had tried harder at ww.

On the positive side, my surgery went well and I had no complications. My scars are healing very well. I was out walking the day after I got home and off pain meds. I have been out shopping and out visiting family. Only problem I have had is gas pains which gas x strips really help. Anybody have any idea why I am not losing? My surgeon said I should have less than 100 carbs. I believe that is too high. I am going to try to go much lower today with carbs. Has anyone else not lost wgt right after surgery and then starting losing at a good rate?

Sorry this is so negative but this is my story so far and not a happy one. I want to turn this around and start losing weight but don't know what to do. [/quote']

Karen353,

I totally understand your frustration. I was sleeved on April 9th. Im experiencing the same situation you are. I was a lb down yesterday today I'm back up 1 lb which is really crazy 2 me. I don't understand what r bodies r doing. I just assumed we would see faster results so it is a lil frustrating. I'm not going /m2 weigh myself everyday any more. I'm not regretting my surgery but I wish I saw faster results I would know that I made the rite decision. I know that I over analyze everything but I don't want to let it consume me. I'm on fitnesspal as well risar36. We have to support each other thru this transition.
