What to expect after a ur with sleeve



Recommended Posts

Still trying to figure it out. Lost 125 so far & still dropping sizes. Sometimes I can do some food, less portions, more exercises... Just saying it's all inconsistent & believe me I'm not complaining, but this post is for the vets to explain expectations of weight loss surgery.

If you could be a little more specific about what kind of information you need, that might help us help you! Is the inconsistency in your diet, exercise routine, or something else?

All of the above.

Ok, but with the little information you have given me, I'm not sure what it is you need. For me, I have been recommended by my NUT the 2-3-2 plan. I eat within 2 hours of waking, then every 3 hours, then within 2 hours of going to bed. Diet is Protein first, then low carb. Little if any sweets/breads/starches.

Drink at least 64 ounces of fluids a day.

Exercise for me is minimal (at least "planned" exercise), which I know I need to correct, but right now I am so busy with dealing with my husband's cancer, I don't find a lot of spare time OR energy for it. It'll come, in due time.

Consistency is up to you. If it would help, write in a journal what it is you are doing, and correct the inconsistencies that way. YOU are the only one who can do that. Write down your caloric intake, weigh/measure your food, have a schedule for when to exercise and stick with it, get a guideline from your NUT. All of these should help you form a consistent plan.

We all will fall off of a plan; getting back on is difficult, but not impossible. I hope this helps a little!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
