what if I dont lose weight?



Recommended Posts

So I let my SO look at some of the threads on here and he came across one talking about what are people eating post op.. he then made a good point to me and said "you ate this way before your surgery"...he wasnt trying to put me down because he is my biggest supporter but now I'm wondering what if I dont lose weight. I was sleeved on May 23rd and before surgery I usually ate 1000-1200 calories per day (1400 when we went out) I also exercised 5-6 days per week. Was anyone else like me who lived a very healthy lifestyle, had all the tests and still couldnt lose weight? What is your success like post op?

I was so scared I was going to fail at this, like all my other efforts to lose weight. The sleeve is a very powerful tool to help you. As long as you follow the eating plan set by your dr and nutritionist you will lose. Some weeks will be more than others, and sometimes you will stall for a while. But if you keep at it you will be successful this time. Go for it girl, it will change your life. :)

I had that issue. I play soccer 3 days a week, do tkd 4 days a week, krav maga 2 days a week before surgery. I now added running a 5k 3 days a week. I started with needing to lose 80lbs - surgery was dec 13th and I have lost 58 lbs!! I have never stalled more than a week and a half. I am way ahead of my dr predictions - I think because I am so active. It jas been awesome. Bad part - I keep going thru cloths.

You will do great! Follow the meal plan anf stay active!

I'm with you. I've always eaten healthy and excercised. When I tried the trendy diets I never lost like everyone else did. I weigh 190. I'm down from 205 since being sleeved May 15th. I have to eat Protein or I DO NOT lose. I can't do the creamy Soups bcuz there full of carbs. My body is used of healthy foods and I find the first few weeks we are allowed to eat stuff that I wouldn't normally eat.

      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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
