26 lbs lost in 2 weeks



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved one week ago today. I had a one week liquid diet prior to surgery where I lost 11 pounds. But I've also lost another 15 pounds in the last 7 days since surgery.

If someone had told me a while back that I'd lose 26 lbs in 2 weeks, I wouldn't have believed it.

Not being hungry is a bit weird. I'm still on liquids, and I've been really good about getting my Protein shakes in, until today. I had a small amount of Malt-o-meal for Breakfast (this is allowed by my surgeon from day 3 after surgery) and I had such a busy day at work that I realized I hadn't had anything else all day. I never even thought about it all day. (Not that this is necessarily a good thing!)

I only have a bit of pain if I forget and try to sit up in bed instead of roll over. The incisions no longer hurt. I've never been nauseous. Never vomited at all since being sleeved.

My point of all this is, I'm loving this sleeve already. And it has only been one week!

Awesome job! It will just get better. I lost really quickly but felt weak so at 4 weeks i was told to eat more. I still lose 1.5 to 2 lbs a week while eating food again. It just keeps getting better..

That's awesome! I'm starting to dislike male sleevers (just kidding)......you guys seem to lose weight much faster...I've lost 7 to your 15 (and very happy about those 7 pounds LOL)

haven't had any pain--other than being a little bit sore the day or two after surgery....Keep up the good work!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
