Surgery date 7/20.

HW 260

SW 221

Day of surgery 205. Today is 17 days post op. I weighed 198 this morning. To say I am a little disappointed would be an understatement. I have had no trouble getting in Protein and fluids since day 1 post op. I consume less than 600 calories daily and this is my first week walking 1.5 miles daily. The weight just isn't coming off.

I am hoping it is just part of the healing process and part of starting at a lower weight than some.

I am going through the same thing. I haven't gone over 600 calories since surgery on 7/16. Dropped 22 lbs and now I have been stalled for 1.5 weeks. I am baffled. Eating so little but I feel like there is no progress. I do need to be better about drinking water/fluids. But I struggle with nausea all day. It's like morning sickness all over again, but with no baby.

I got in 74oz of Water yesterday and I am on track to do it again. I drink 22 in the 33 minutes I am on the elliptical. And then I drink lemon water all day. It have 3 different containers I have to finish to do this and dividing them like that has made it much easier. Not weighing myself so I don't stress about. Hitting 90-100 Protein. Eating one meal a day rest shakes. Keeping carbs under 20

I have lost a little over 20 in three weeks. Is that slow? I only eat about 650 calories and workout.

I posted the reasoning to this a bit earlier in this post/group ????????????

I finally decided no more weighting myself for awhile. It was too frustrating. I am just concentrating on following my diet.

I'm 9 weeks out. Feel great. Can eat anything now--just ultra mini portions--but I try to stick with real food. I occasionally slime by eating too much, but I'm getting a lot better monitoring myself. Definitely have to eat slowly too. I started at 200 SW (33.3 BMI) and am now about 169. Love my sleeve!

WOW! you have lot a lot! Congrats! You are basically where I want to be, but I have a long way to get there.

I need to start being more adventurous in my eating. I really need to add salad in this week. I basically eat the same thing every day. Less options less chance of mistakes, but I need to branch out.

Almost 60 lbs down! I haven't done any kind of exercise yet though. I wish Florida weather wasn't so awful, because it's too hot and sticky to take walks.

That includes 2 1/2 weeks of semi-serious pre-op dieting (I cheated a few times, to be honest).

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
