Sleeved June 9th. I haven't lost any weight yet

Good luck with your surgery tomorrow rbedinghaus! Congratulations on making the best decision of your life. You are doing great and will be very successful with your surgery! =)

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I'm new to bariatric pal and this is my first post. I was sleeved on June 2nd. 15 days post op and I'm down 30 pounds already but I am worried that I'm not getting any nutrients in. I have only been able to tolerate some liquid, jello, popsicles, and applesaue. Any advice?

Having pain after this surgery is normal. It will get better day by day.

Don't eat anymore ice cream. That's not a good way to start your journey. I had to throw that stuff out of the house because I was afraid of giving in to my cravings.

Good luck!

Hi guys
I just got my sleeve on wednesday the 11th & i have been in random pains from laughter to even sitting still . Walking hurts ! I slipped and had less than an ounce of ice cream what should i do im so nervous

My surgery was yesterday the 16th..not been released from the hospital yet but I have been walking and walking. I hope to be released soon. I have been able to sip water slowly and some broth but nothing else..not hungry at all..good luck to all...

My surgery was June 9th. I am down 10 lbs but still very bloated and tired. I take a nap every day and get 10 hours of sleep each night.

I have been able to keep everything down. I have been eating puree soup and doing well with it.

I also have been able to get my water in easily. Protein shakes are a different story. I'm only drinking 1-2 per day.

I was sleeved on June 3rd. Still on what they call pre-select foods (fruitless yogurt, refried beans, soft eggs, etc.) and protein drinks. The only one I found that I can stand is the Atkins Low Carb w/ 15g per shake. I tried Isopure before surgery and it was ok, but for some reason, now I can't stand it...and we loaded up on it. Great! I keep trying one every few days to see if it goes down any better. Getting better at the water/clears, but still not close to 64oz - maybe 48 on a good day.

Did anyone hit a stall at around 2 weeks?

I haven't had any movement for 4 or 5 days. I know my body could be catching up; but I guess I just didn't expect a stall this soon. I'm down 25 pounds since the start, and 14 pounds since day of surgery. Am I having to great of expectations? Trying to get more walking in, but I'm just now starting to feel half way normal again. Still having some pain around the big incision; how long before that goes away? Still hurts to bend over completely and I have 2 small kids I have to take care of - so there have been instances where I've had to move them. My whole rib cage feels like I got beat up! Thanks all!

My surgery was June 9th and I am 8 days post op. As each day goes by I am able to drink a bit more fluids. Should this be cause for concern that I have already started to stretch my new stomach?

Sleeved June 9th. I haven't lost any weight yet

Tell us a little bit more about yourself. How have your fluid intakes been? Are you following the clear/full liquid stages? Are you walking in increments up to 40 mins a day? Are you a lower start BMI? All of these things can impact your weight loss...

Tomorrow is the big day 730 I'm s lil nervous ....pray for me

I was sleeved june 12th how do I get in the June sleevers group

Thank you

Mistake!!!!!!

Yesterday i boiled veggies and blended them with a skinless chicken leg, strained the mix and added chicken broth.

Had about 15 oz throughout the day....

Ive been insanely bloated since yesterday to the point that i cannot even sip water, its almost painful to do.. Don't want to force my self because i know overeating can cause leaks!!!!

I am 7 days post op now and don't know what caused all this... Maybe its the chicken?

Any suggestions?

No. It just means you are healing and your sleeve swelling is going down.

My surgery is on June 10th. I am so afraid that part of me want to back out, but i know that i cannot.

I have 4 daughters and the youngest is 4 years old. I am so scared about the dangers of surgery.

How are you post-ers feeling? what has been the most challenging part of your recovery?

How did you do? I too was scheduled for June 10th

What kind of veggies were they? Some veggies make people gassy, maybe that's it.

My nut said to keep the pureed meals simple for the first week or so. She said as in a case like yours, you can't tell what the offending food was. Could be chicken, could be one of the veggies...which veggie?

She also said if you don't tolerate it well, don't eat it again right away but reintroduce it in a week. Your body will probably handle it differently.

I know my body and sleeve seem to be changing daily as to how much I can drink, which pureed sits heavy vs light, how many ounces I can eat, etc.
