Weightloss for a new sleever



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on the 6th. My discharge nurse and papers told me to weigh myself everyday. Since last Monday I've lost 12 pounds.. Which I am happy with!! today when I weighed myself I didn't lose any.

Should I be concerned.... A couple of my friends told me not to worry about it .. But I just think with the sleeve I shouldn't of hit a day where I didn't lose any yet ! ??

There will be days, and even weeks where you don't lose anything, and they are normal. I recommend NOT weighing yourself every day, as it can drive you batty when you hit stalls.

I was also sleeved on may 6th . I've lost 12 pds also and the past 2 days me weight has been the same . I'm getting rid of my scale TODAY every time I go in the bathroom I weigh myself . I don't wanna go crazy about the numbers I know how I am that can discourage me. We gotta hang in there it's barely over a week.

Thank you all... I think the numbers game is going to drive me crazy ! But each day I notice a little difference in my self .... I will use this as my motivation now more than the numbers each morning ! ... At least I will try ! :)

I'm 6 days out and have weighted myself twice only because I don't want to drive myself crazy if I don't see the scale move. You will do fine just don't weigh yourself ever day. :)

I am ten weeks out and after a first week loss of 13 pounds, I lost NOTHING FOR THREE WEEKS! I almost drove myself crazy. But then, sure enough, it started to come off. Most weeks I have had a loss, but two weeks I did not. Pick ONE DAY of the week to record your weight. If you weigh other days, use it as a guide to see how you're doing. But remember, weight fluctuates so if you are one who will go nuts with a gain during the week, best to throw the scale out or just not weigh. We will all lose weight according to our biology, so we can't go crazy with what we can't control. Good luck to all.

My surgeon made us record our weight everyday. It really sucked! It was a happy day when I could stop. Now I only weigh in once a week! = )

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
