Marcy, don't give up, you can do it !!!!

I agree with lots of Water and NO Carbs, I had to do a two week low carb diet, 40 total carbs max, I shot for 30 or less each day and never over. MyFitnessPal is a great app that give you all the nutritional information, for me the key was as much Water as I could drink and very low carbs.

You can do, keep the faith.

@Marcy. You can do it! Don't get discouraged, my weight often fluctuates 5lbs over a few days. I agree, walking is good but don't go trying to build muscle at the gym because you may actually gain weight temporarily! Water, shakes, broth, Sf Jello, walk, make sure you get enough sleep at night because that helps too. It's only a few more days! You got this!

@@JRfishes, thank you. I'm not going to give up. I have come too far to let this obstacle stop me.

@@NewgirlfromMd, thanks. I have faith. I'm going to do lots of walking this weekend and if it's meant to be, it'll be. I'll continue to drink my Water and shakes.< /p>

Thank you all for the words of encouragement. My emotional episode has passed, now it's time for me to stay focused and let it be God's will, whether it happens on Monday or not, it will happen. xoxoxo

And one other thing you gals and guys thst can go through this with no pain meds are strong. I cannot do it. Maybe if I didn't have this belly button incision it would be a different story.

I had my surgery 5 days ago. More pain than I anticipated, and when I checked my weight after 5 days, I was surprised to see I'd lost no weight. I've eaten nothing for 5 days and lost 0 lbs. know I remember why diets always failed. Guess those IVs are high calorie!

I'm afraid to even weigh myself! I had surgery on Tuesday and I actually feel huge. I know it's likely because everything inside is still swollen and I'm still working out a lot of gas so I do know in my head that I haven't gained any weight. Just don't think my heart could handle seeing a higher number on the scale. I think I'm gonna wait until I'm al least walking upright lol

It's completely normal to even put on a few lbs in first few days due to the fluids they give U during surgery and after! It can take up to a week after surgery to start losing it all, I went up 4lb after surgery and then only lost it bout a week ago and I am 16days post

Don't stress about that! I had gained 10lbs of the 17lbs I had lost preop in the hospital. It all fell right off. It will start coming off again, just be patient. :) and I agree, so frustrating!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
