K guys maybe I just need to vent but I am a gastric sleeve complication to bypass patient. This coming Sunday will be a month from the bypass. I have dropped MAYBE two pounds. I am so angry and confused. I Put myself through this hell and I have lost about 92 pounds since November with the sleeve but due to serious complications basically able to eat or drink anything in starvation to loosing nothing. Help! Suggestions. Just now really getting energy back to maybe exercise. Went to work four days after surgery. Suggestions?

Hi...I am in the same boat!

I was a sleeve to rny patient as well. I had my rny done august 20th and I lost 18lbs the first 2 weeks then I stopped loosing for a few days and then gained 2lbs! I have since lost the 2lbs that I gained but so far thats it! I really try to get the Water and Protein in. I can't excersise because of a pain that I have in my left side (which Im getting checked out next week) but I walk 30mins to and hour every other day and I feel that I should still be losing something! At this point post op most people lose weight doing nothing at all!

Im very frustrated!

I hope we can both get past what ever this is and start losing weight!

I was at a stand still a few weeks ago, I was doing moderate walking almost every day. My weight stood still for like 3 wks. once I got off the high blood pressure meds I had so much more energy and I started increasing the exercise AND the intensity of my workouts, I started jogging again and now my weight started dropping again. Sounds like you are in a rut, when you exercise do you get your heart rate pumping ?

92 pounds is a LOT of weight so sincere congratulations on that!! Hard to offer much in the way of suggestions without knowing things like your pre-sleeve starting weight, height, daily average calorie intake, Protein intake, Water intake, activity level, and even what your personal goal weight is. Quite possible that you just need a little more patience. But if you can give us some more details, we may be able to offer suggestions. There are a ton of very knowledgeable folks on this forum and we're all here to help each other.

      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!!
