Seasoned Sleevers...HELP!



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I was sleeved on 11/20/13 and lost 23 pounds by November end and have only lost 2 more since then. Has my body gone into starvation mode? I am 52 years old, back to work and very tired and "out of it" feeling....how did you all begin to exercise at 3-4 weeks post op? Also had a bout with Constipation, but that's settled and struggling to get my fluids in everyday.

Any thoughts or suggestions is appreciated!

Thanks

Hey!! How many calories are you eating per day??? I am also struggling. I had my surgery 3/12. Lost 55 lbs in first 6 months, but then CRASH!! nothing. I have been able to hold my own, but have been gaining weight, about 5 lbs in the last 2 weeks!! SO FRUSTRATING.

I think we need to look at your food intake first and foremost. Are you getting enough Protein?? My plan was about 75 grams of Protein per day. Are you taking Vitamins?? How many ounces of Water are you getting per day?? Please let me know and maybe we can figure this out together!!!

Good luck and God Bless:)

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

      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?

      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! 😞
