Sip and walk. The object now is don't strain, drink fluids, especially Water, and walk to disperse gas. In my case it was to help pass time. I was so bored and it hurt to sit, too restless to sleep and too antsy to read. I hated the first few days home. Now is better. I am two weeks post op and looking forward to pureed foods, ummmmmmmm.

@@slimmac walking I noticed is helping tomorrow I'll be 2 weeks from surgery slowing coming off hate the stalls . Yummy I'm going on that stage tomorrow exciting!!!

I had a stall from about day 12-25. I'm hesitant to say but I "think" it's breaking. It's frustrating. But they say they go away and to just stick to your plan. Hang in there!

@@CrazyJaney it's terrible u think it would just melt off but def walking I see helps even if it's a little. How are you doing. ?

Stall continued. The 1.5 I lost came back. I'm headed to Water aerobics tonight. I'm praying I'll start my period soon. Off my diuretics and retaining Fluid. I ate 1/2 cup of grits this morning trying to give my body some carbs (First carb meal I've eaten) and then pull back to no carbs tomorrow - just to see if I can shock it back into loss. Still 400-700 cal a day with all goals in line (except water). I'm one month today and frustrated. I'm happy. But I'm frustrated. It's still 45 pounds gone and I look and feel better. But I expected more for the first month (18 since surg 3/13). Anyway, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and it'll get there I hope. I am certain exercise will help. I'm going tonight. I'm gonna do this! I swear - THIS HAS TO WORK!

He's doing great! More energy when working out, getting more Water down, Vitamins everyday since we got home, still working on Protein. So far, eggs, fish, lima Beans, and homemade fruit smoothies all going down nicely. Not much nausea, no pain! Down 32 lbs since 2 weeks pre-op. He doesn't weigh daily. He weighed at the doc and only a couple times since surgery at the gym. I, however, am only down around 8 lbs in that time (but I am a little pleased to have dropped back below the 300 mark). Hopefully mine will improve, as I will soon be getting my very own elliptical :-)

If you are going to continue to weigh daily, consider using the scales that provide the breakdown between fat and water weight, and bmi. While it's great to lose pounds period, it's even more important that weight is fat and not muscle! Also remember muscle weighs more than fat, so as you increase your exercise, a stall could really be muscle replacing fat (which would still be a loss).

Stay focused and stay positive!!!

My sleeve was on 12 March 2014 (4wks) yeahhhhh. I'm a little sore berry every little. The only time I notice it is when I'm done jogging. My pre op weight 225.0, weight of surgery 219.6lbs, today I'm 194.6. That is 30.4 since pre op liquids and 25lbs since surgery. I started jogging a week ago. I could only do .25 miles before stoping I would walk the rest of my mile 1/2. Today I jogged 2 miles non stop!!! It's a damn good feeling !!!! I can't wait to see what the future holds. I am doing good with my Water. But getting my Protein in sucks!!! I'm making it my mission to do better though. I know I can be on solids now even though I haven't had my check up yet. But I like the mushy stage.

Ok all I am still stalled my scale has not moved in well over a week!!. I dont understand I am not even consuming 500 calories a day. I really cant keep much down anyway and end up vomiting often after eating. I dont get how I can eat so little and not lose weight!!. Hw 322 Sw 306.5 Cw 294.4 And I had surgery on march 18th. So like 17 days postop. What am I doing wrong?

Hey! I've been catching up on work and haven't been on here in a week or so. I took find I have stalls. Also sleeved on 3/18. Some days I wake up and nothing has changed on the scale. Then other days I wake up and another two pounds is gone. Solid foods start Tuesday. I'm so nervous.

Hey there March Sleevers! Just checking in. Today is my month anniversary. Feeling good. Stall has moved on. I hit 50 pounds lost today! Very exciting. That stall sucked! I measured myself tonight and I've lost 22 inches all over. Biggest loss was in boobs (go figure) and they are pathetic now. Wow! Had no idea they would droop that much so quickly! Ugh. Anyway, just wanted to encourage everyone to measure. I think I would not have been such a nutcase about the stall had I measured sooner. Sure has been an interesting month! Hope all of you are doing ok.

Is that 50 pounds since surgery or overall? We were sleeved on same day so I'm hoping I'm not that far behind! I'm 54 pounds down overall.

I'll be three weeks tomorrow. I'm having days where I have no energy, I'm crabby, bored and feel like I don't know what to do.

I have days where I feel ok.

I'm down 32 pounds from February, 17 down since surgery.

Working on my emotional and mental issues, really not feeling up to doing any exercise. I'm just so worn out.

On a good day I'm getting 800 calories, most days 600 or so.

Awesome CrazeyJaney! Same here 1 month anniversary. 30 pounds pre op and 22 post op. Today I go to another appointment and change over to solid foods. I hope eating my Proteins instead of drinking or slurping them will help the energy levels and some more weight loss.

I'm 6 wks out now & absolutely thrilled with my progress. Absolutely no food issues & now on full diet. I walk a 5k each day and do gym 3x a day.

I feel it's time for me to move on with my life now. Good luck to all the March Sleevers! I only have time for my blog postings but I will check in here every 3 or 4 months if I have time.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL ON YOUR JOURNEYS!

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
