I'm a little over 2 weeks out and have heartburn like crazy. I'm onto puréed food but not losing. I lost 19lbs really fast and now nothing. Is that normal 2 weeks out?

How much have you lost since surgery? What do you do for your heartburn?

call doc on the heartburn in the morning. There are many who take meds for it. I have actually doubled up on my meds and I'm about to start my 3rd mo.

Good luck!

Thank you:). I take Prilosec but I'm thinking I'm going to have to double up on it too. It's an awful feeling.

You can take Prilosec twice a day. If that doesn't help call your doc for a prescription PPI.

I was sleeved on 7/15 too, I'm only down 14 as well I think! Trying to go by my doctors scale which is 2 pounds lighter then mine at home. I only lost 1 pound this week. How many carbs are you eating in a day? I'm starting to wonder if I'm eating to many.

@ca530 im barely eating carbs. I would say maybe 15grams. I'm mostly still drinking a lot, ie my Protein Shakes, Water, Crystal light, and watered down cranberry juice. If I do have carbs it's from cheese.

I've been eating Greek yogurt and Protein Bars. The bars say only 3 grams of net carbs. But I don't know if I'm suppose to be counting net carbs or carbs listed on the package. I getting about 40 grams of carbs a day. Because of those 2 things.

I think u r suppose to go off total carbs. It sounds like we are both at a stall. I eat yoplait greek yogurt. Their vanilla flavor is really good and it doesnt have that greek yogurt taste. I don't know off hand the carbs but it's super low. I know it's less than chobani. How r u feeling? I'm taking my Vitamins but I'm feeling super tired still. I don't want to do anything.

Ill have to ask my doctor about the carb thing. I was really tired the first few days, but after like day 5 I have been fine. I swear I can't sleep at all at night. I just took Benadryl to hopefully fall asleep at a normal hour. I'm up and moving sound like usual. I went school shopping for my kids today for 3 hours, then took my daughter to a horse farm and walked all over. What type of Vitamins are you taking? My only thing is my left side above my incision where she cut through the stomach muscle is still killing me. Every now and then I ave to take a muscle relaxer if I over do it with activity. It's hard I forget I had surgery so I catch myself picking stuff up that I'm not suppose to or bending the wrong way and I get a sharp pain. I hope you get your energy back soon!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
