Beginning of 2 week pre-op: 235 lbs

Day of surgery (20 Aug): 214 lbs

3 weeks post-op (9 Sep): 206 lbs

I'm so discouraged with how little I've lost since the surgery.

I'm walking 2 miles every morning and every evening.

I get in the required amount of Water and Protein every day.

I'm still on pureed foods but I vary the foods I eat for every "meal". I'm eating about 2-3 oz every 2-3 hours but within an hour of eating, I'm extremely hungry. I wait as long as I can before I eat again. After eating or drinking, I'm plagued with heartburn. I'm getting about 500 - 600 calories every day. My body functions are regular.

What can I do so I'm not SO HUNGRY?

What can I do to prevent heartburn?

Why am I losing so little weight? (8 lbs in 3 weeks!)

Help!!!!

Hi I wanted to post this so the August ppl can log our success and weight lost so far..

My Surgery date 8/8/2013

highest weight was 220' date=' surgery weight 213, current weight 195

All in all I've lost a total of 25 pounds and so happy I lost 7 pounds on my two week preop than the rest the first week post op.. I was stuck at 196-200 until yesterday and now I have lost another pound and that makes me happy to know that the scale started moving back the right direction again!! :)

I would live to hear from other August sleevers :)[/quote']

Highest weight: 303

Weight after pre-op diet/date of surgery 8/27: 280

Current weight: 259

If you are having trouble getting in Protein try mixing a bottle of Isopure with 1 quart of Water and a large packet of crystal light. I drink that all day and it gives me 40g Protein and 64 oz. of Water.

I am still having a hard time finding a Protein shake that I like, but this helps me a little.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
