Have not lost dramatic weight like I expected. I am only a week out. I try to exercise. After work and having to sit up all day (I also had a hiatal hernia repair), I am utterly exhausted. I am so tired that people keep asking me if I am ok.

So what is reasonable loss? Are my expectations too high? How can I boost my energy and mental snap? I have a very brainy job that requires concentration. I am struggling to maintain, and I am slower. This will not work.

I will appreciate any help or tricks you guys can provide. The only thing I have heard that might work is to carry honey around. Yes? No?

THANKS!!!

My evening dinners or every two hour eats lol muscle milk light 160 cal

2 avocado tuna egg salad snacks total 400 something cal I think

2 watermelon 50 cal each x 2 = 100 cal

Bell pepper slices with carrots and string beans with hummus not Sure the cal in take but if I where to guess 160 cal

Total for the night around 820 cal for the night plus my ISO pro right after the gym 920 cal now.

up from 700 a day .

I know I shouldn't be mad about a stall or not seeing any changes on the scale but I am. I eat or drink at least between 500-600 cal per day and still haven't loss anything. Don't get me wrong I did lose some water weight. Pl tell me wat I am doing wrong. The little I have already lost makes my body look good already especially at my age. But I would like to c more weight come off. Am I too impatient or is my sleeve failing me already? ????????????

Gm all sleevers, was listed tested for gallstones due to my symptoms I have been having. Results will b in on Monday but today I definitely not feeling hot. Pain in my back and after drinking my shake feeling nauseous and like I want to puke. Any one ever had this issue since surgery. Oh well!!!

I am 3 months out and my energy is coming back .

:

I do this daily

:

I wish my energy would come back ASAP b4 my husband starts to regret this. I haven't been the same. 18 days out.

Karen Scott, regret will do us no good now. I am sure your sleeve is not failing me. I see people with 75 pounds of weight loss in 5 months and I have felt that I am not losing fast enough to be where they are in 5 months, but I have to realize that roughly 1 pound a day ain't bad. After all, I wasn't losing it that fast preop. Don't put the cart before the horse. It may be a blessing in disguise that you are losing at a slow pace. Less dramatic excess skin!!! If I am at or near my goal weight this time next year, I will be good. We have to think long term or this whole experience will get to us. Trust me, I totally understand how you feel. I am almost 2 weeks out and I was wondering why I am only 11 pounds lighter than on my surgery day. Then I realized that hey, I am only 11 days post op, that's a pound a day. So I should be down 30 pounds in a month. Not bad! Hang in there Karen. You will do fine and you will look back in a year and wonder where the weight went. LOL

I get a pain in my lower mid back on the right side after I eat some times I figured it was a kidney thing . Going to talk to my dr when I go in. .

Karen it will take some time to adjust . Keep up the good work . Just remember your body needs to adjust . Walk walk and keep moving .

I get b12,6,1 and folic acid shots twice a week plus take the pill form daily it helps I feel better after the shots .

I have had the same pain for many months, and thought it was muscular from exercise. I started having very bad indigestion several months ago. I went to my doc last week and had a gallbladder ultrasound today. They called this afternoon and said its gallstones. Sad to say I hope the gallbladder scan turns out positive it can come out and I can get back to normal. The indigestion has been awful. I have had twinges in the front, but mostly all in my back.

That's what I am worried about . I stoped eating a higher fat food and started taking cranberry pills and its does not bother me to much just when I eat a avacodo tuna .
