If you will go back to page one and start reading, you will see that everyone that has the surgery goes thru this stage, and the answers are always the same. I remember the journey very well as I would stall for months at a time. That is when I decided to stay off the scale and use clothes to see how I was losing. you will lose inches but not a pound. Your body is fighting to keep your weight, but eventually it will let go. Best of luck to all of you.

Sleeved on 9/11 and I Have lost a combined total (pre op and post op) 48lbs. But like a poster stated before, I mow get acid reflux with just about everything I eat. But a small price to pay in my opinion.

Did your doctor prescribe an antacid? Mine did ever since surgery, in case that were to happen, and I haven't had that reflux far.

I was sleeved on sept 4th. So almost 8 weeks. Today I am down 26 pounds from surgery. Doesn't seem like much compared to some others, but trying to take it one day at a time. I know it will come off. Been having trouble getting my Water in everyday.

I've been having trouble getting my Water in as well. I'm 4 weeks and 2days post op, and as of today, I have lost 16lbs since surgery. :-/ I guess as long as we know it will come off, and take it a day at a time, we'll be ok.

My nutritionist told me all liquid counts when you're struggling. Eventually you'll get it all in. :-). Best wishes!!

I'm not losing as some are, but I can feel my body shrinking. I'm almost 4 weeks out and dropped a full size. My bras are getting too loose too. I am going go by my clothes and not my scale weight. Screw that darn thing right now. Lol. I did just drop two pounds this week, but I was stalled for a week. I almost got discouraged, but I caught myself and stayed focused on my journey of a healthy living lifestyle. I fell better than I have in years. :-). Best wishes!!!!

      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!!
