My nut said no raw veggies until two months frm surgery date. Something about it possibly getting stuck.

Good thing I didn't do it!!!

Feeling crappy today! Just barfed for the first time and I can't keep anything down. I'm super mad because I know this means in not getting enough Water. This whole new life thing is hard

Why can you not keep things down suddenly?

I think dehydration is setting in. I know I'm not getting enough Water and I was dehydrated once before (pre surgery). I'm just sitting here now trying to down water

If you can get some Gatorade G2 (low calorie) it would really help with the dehydration. Or some Water with electrolytes in it. The gatorade saved me. About a few days after surgery, I woke up with a dry mouth and a headache. Got some gatorade and made it my mission to drink it every few minutes. I didn't want to end up in the ER on an IV bag. I hope you feel much better very soon :-)

You're welcome :-) hope you're feeling better now.

So, I thought I might have broke my stall. NOPE. I've been at or around the same weight for almost 3 weeks now. I'm following every single thing that my surgeon said to do. I called the Drs office to see what they suggest.

They just said it was normal. Blahhhh.

Also I'm cleared for exercise Monday Aug 5th. The nurse said no lifting heavy weights or strenuous workout or hard running on the treadmill because that can cause a hernia this early out from surgery.

Is anyone else still in the middle of a stall?? How long? And does anyone have some words of wisdom? I'm becoming really frustrated and want to see that scale move :-(

I thought I broke my stall too. Nope! 10 days at the same weight this far other than some minor ups/downs! It is depressing! I am still logging all foods, watching liquid and Protein intake and walking as often as I can. Hopefully it will move again soon!

I think I keep having mini-stalls, or maybe this is how it goes for me. It's inching down very slowly. Very. The weight definitely isn't just flying off.

I've been doing very light exercise. Maybe I need to step it up.

Ok im feeling frustrated at this point and a little disappointed. I woke up this morning emotional and discouraged. I think im doing everything im supposed to I get 70 to 90g of Protein in and walk just about everyday and the scale just will not move!! The whole point of me getting the sleeve was to start seeing some results from my hard work because pre op due to my thyroid issuse id do what I was supposed to with little to show for it! Now im even more focused and expecting to see results and nothing!! Sooo frustrating!!! Honesty im over it today...tomorrow is another day and I will try to maybe incorporate more exercise and Water intake... :-/....sorry just needed to vent!

I woke up feeling the exact same way! I stood on the scale this morning and prayed that it would move. Nothing. This has been about 11 days now. It is so depressing but my husband is ready to hide my scale from me! Ugh...

Out of frustration I put mine away this morning, but I know ill take it back out! Maybe I need someone to hide it from me also, then id probably drive myself crazy looking for it!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
