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.

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.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
