Hi! I'm new here. Also sleeved on May 1. It seems like the scale hasn't moved on a week and trust me...I'm not eating much! Also feeling very weak and nauseous..

Oh...and I lost 33.5 lbs. In the time since I started the two week preop diet..

Yes very weak!! Hoping my energy and strength come back soon. I was sleeved on 5/5/15. It's been a little rough, but I know it will be all worth it. Hang in there!

Hi! I was sleeved on 5/6 had some serious set backs along the way (allergy to meds put me back into the hospital & internal suture popped) so I was out of commission for the first 2 weeks. Here it is 6/2 and I'm 15lbs down. I've had a stall over the past week but I'm hoping that passes. I meet with the surgeon on Thursday and I'm hoping he clears me for more exercise besides walking.

Hi there, my name is Kimberly and I am also very tired and week. At first I had energy but this week it is at a zero. I only did a 1 week pre op diet since my BMI was at 40

Start wt - 244

At surgery - 238

6/2 - 229

Oh surgery date was 5/19

The scale hasn't moved in 3 days but I have had a hard time getting my water and protein in.

Not much worried since last time a couple days passed it jumped down a few pounds at once.

Hi, I had my surgery on 5/18 and I'm doing pretty good. I started purée foods yesterday and its a bit better. I've lost 12ibs since my surgery and that's encouraging. I had my post op today and they said all looked good. I'm just kind of over the liquids. I also had a 2 week pre op diet of liquids. Just trying to get my protein and water in. I've also been feeling hungry, I guess? Going to try an anacid like Pepcid, like a lot of people have been suggesting. I tried tums but that didn't do a thing.

Hi May sleevers,

I had my surgery on 5/18 and I've lost 22 lbs since my pre-op. Losing pretty slow I think. I went for my 2 week post-op today and the surgeon was pleased with my results so far. She did tell me I was dehydrated and if I didn't increase my Fluid intake I could be hospitalized. Working on increasing my Water, Protein and food. I'm sure this is why I still feel weak, lethargic and dizzy all the time. I feel like I'm getting better, but my weight has been stalling and creeping up, not going in the desired direction (down). I walk almost 10k steps a day, I'm just ready to lose????

Hi all. I was sleeved on 05/20 and I'm doing well. I just need to drink more water. It's hard to get it all in during the course of a day. But other than that I'm feeling fine. I'm down 12lbs since my surgery and I managed to lose 50lbs in as many days before my surgery.

Sleeved May 20th.

SW: 278

Day of surgery: 225

2 week today: 212

hoping I didn't loose too much pre op that I'm screwed in the long term. Feel great tho. Going to appt today to hopefully move on to pureed foods!!!

I was finally cleared for solids today. Sleeved on May 1! Where do I begin? I'm so nauseous..can't even imagine eating...any tips would be appreciated

Hey all,

I was sleeved on May 26 and I am down a total of 19 lbs from highest of 312. I had a very difficult time losing weight on pre-op diet. I had such a hard time losing, period! My metabolism was so effed up from yoyo dieting, and meds I was on.

Good to hear from everyone.

Hi May Sleevers! I was sleeved on 5/21 and I a down 23 pounds since surgery day. Feeling great, heading back to work on Sunday

I am just shy of 1 month out, having been sleeved on 5/6. My concern as strange as it might seem is that I am adopting too well. Lost 15lbs with 2 weeks pre-op prep and an additional 25lbs post-op. I seem to tolerate everything I have tried to eat. I started eating reduced fat cottage cheese (small curd well chewed) just 2 1/2 weeks post-op. 3 weeks post-op I've been eating tuna salad, poached eggs, quinoa with feta salad etc. The shakes (premier protein) are now only satisfying me for an hour or so. I'm Having some trouble keeping my daily calorie intake to 800 as recommended by my nutritionist. My weight loss has seemed to stall for the past week. I almost wish that I was not adopting so well, so as to maintain the rapid post surgery weight loss for a longer period. There are times of the day that my stomach is grumbling due to hunger. I also realize that my brain sometimes has trouble differentiating between hunger pains and other stomach pain! Worried about how I will react 3-4 months post-op if things are to easy now!
