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'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? 🤷‍♀️
