Any February 2014 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I had a 2 week stall starting 1 day after my 1 week post op appointment. Although it was EXTREMELY frustrating, I do believe our bodies are in shock for losing weight so fast. I lost 22 pounds in the 2 week pre op + 10 the week after surgery. My surgery date was Feb 19 & I am down a total of 43 pounds. Do your measurements. Even though I wasn't losing on the scale, I was definitely losing inches. I also get my Protein in but struggle with Water. Best of luck to everyone! Just work your plan. I can't wait to see what we have to say in June!!

Same here- sleeved 2/17, down 48lbs (30 preop). I think I've lost more inches in the last two weeks that I've been stalled on the scale.., it's crazy!

My almost 2 week stall has broken! Yesterday I stepped on the scale and had lost almost 5 lbs! Finally! Now to get my weight loss going again for my May 31st wedding on the beach in San Diego!

I've been stuck for 10 days! I don't get all of my Water and Protein in every day and haven't started walking consistently yet. I've not had too many problems with pain and have not vomited. Still on full liquids until Wednesday. Only 18lbs down from surgery 3/25. I'm not overly exhausted, but I do get tired easily. I am frustrated that I have stalled and frustrated that I have not been released to do heavier workouts. I was doing Insanity 3-4 days a week preop. I am starting Protein Shakes tomorrow (have been using Isopure clear liquid for protein). Hopefully that and dedication to water intake will kick this stall. I guess I just wanted to say, you are not alone. I've heard several people talk about their stalls about this time postop. We can do it, and we will reach our goals with hard work. Keep your head up! PS- I drink Poweraide Zero and sugar free Popsicles when I get bored/tired of water. I hope this helps!

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm so glad I'm not alone. I was beginning to think I was doing something wrong or the surgery didn't work. Thanks again!

You will! We all have had (and will have) stalls. I've just decided to weigh myself no more than once a week, or less. My clothes are the biggest indicator for me, if the process is going well:) while I obviously want to weigh less, I'm going by how my clothes fit, and how I feel.

After 2 days of milk of mag I finally had a large Decaf coffee... And finally pooped. I've never been so happy about poop before. Just saying

I'm waiting to see my surgeon for my 4 week post-op follow up appt today! I really home that she is not disappointed in my weight loss since surgery. I hope even more that she advances my diet to soft foods! Fingers crossed! I hope that everyone is doing well and melting beautifully!

      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... :(
