Hello, fellow sleevers I'm new to this site. I was sleeved on 2-18-14. I'm having trouble sleeping on my sides at night. Having trouble moving into the purée phase and with all the nasty weather I'm not getting to walk and I'm not seeing a lose on the scale. HELP

What is your Protein and water/liquid intake per day? Also, you can lose inches and not see anything on the scale. There are also plateaus at times, and yes a month out or so is the first one I've seen.

I'm not having any trouble getting in my Protein Shakes or Water. It's just I'm having trouble moving into the purée diet it just doesn't taste right. And I'm having trouble sleeping at night and not exercising it just seems it all hit and one time and then not losing a pound!!! Makes me wonder what I did?

You haven't done anything wrong!!! Your body is adjusting...Make sure you are drinking plenty of water...It took a while before I could sleep on my side and just now have been able to sleep on my stomach...Try putting a pillow between your legs and another close to your stomach..that helped me..Don't weigh every day!!! I didn't puree any food..I just went to a thicker Soup and yogurt..A bite or two at a time was all I could manage..Hang in there!!!

Hi Billie,

My thoughts on your situation: You may well be starting the 3 week stall. Don't sweat it, just wait it out. Don't push yourself into the next food phase. Move on when it feels comfortable. Can you find any sort of puree that you like?

As others suggested, only weigh weekly or even less.

For sleeping, try sleeping on your back with a lot of pillow support. I use up to 6 pillows under my back and it's quite comfy now. Started this right after surgery. Also, try some Sleepy Time tea before bed.

Hope you feel better.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
