Hello all sleeving in August let's encourage each other

I think that would be a great idea. How is that done tho? Is the person who opened the thread able to move it, or does it need to be closed and restarted in the post-op section?

Post op 2 weeks and four days. I had 11 pounds gone but some how Gained 2 pounds today. What the hell I am still in full fluids and have April 600 calories a day what is wrong with me ??? So discouraged

Don't get discouraged, I'm right there with you. I was sleeved 8/25 and lost 9 lbs. I know it will come off eventually. I will not let a calorie defeat me.

i am told not to be discouraged the weight will come off. I am on purées less than 600 cals cuz I can hardly eat any more and is in what they call a stall. Be positive I hear I have seen a lot of success pics and stories here. Hang in there. I wax sleeved on 8/20

I need some advice.. How do you get past the head hunger and craving sweets?! I don't want to blow my success by eating something with sugar in it. I have a family reunion this weekend and I know it's going to hard around all the food... But I know I can do it, just wondering if someone can give me some advice to get through it. Thanks in advance:)

I have to cook for a family of 8, well 7 if you take me out of the picture. I feel bad cooking and not knowing if the flavor is on point so a few times I actually put the chicken in my mouth chewed it a little and spit it out. I got the flavor but didn't swallow the calories or eat before I was supposed to ( I was sleeved on 8/26). I know it sounds gross but if you have to do that a few times and politely put a napkin to the mouth to get rid of what you don't want going down, that might help. Good luck!

I just did the same thing tonight.. No fun cooking if I have to serve it and not not if it's on point... Spit it straight out though

Staying busy helps me. I struggle more with head hunger when I'm watching tv for more than an hour. There are so-- many freakin' food commercials OMG. Popsicles help with my sweet issue. That and a bad incident when I cheated on my pre-op diet and had ice cream. My stomach was VERY ANGRY.

Hang in there you can do it

I was on a stall for 4 days and I am only 16 days post opp. It hard not to be discouraged. But today I woke up and lost 1.2 lbs thank god.

Yeah...congrats.

My third being sleeved. How did you get rid of the gas and burping?

@@papoose I did not have issue with gas, but am told walking helps. I use miralax daily and that keeps me regular.

I was in the 15th lost 18lbs the first week. Then it slowed to mere ounces a day. Now it's 12 oz to a lb again in my 3rd week. At one week out the Dr ordered me to eat soft foods and that's what caused it for me. I wasn't getting enough calories and blacking out. I started at 220 now today I'm at 195

I'm going to have to try that. Gas and regular BM's have been my biggest issue. Weight loss has been irregular and slow but I am sure the weight will go eventually.
