6 months post OP and I'm kinda stuck in the process



Recommended Posts

@ Dub, I'm telling you now I know you can do it as long as you can so please don't be discouraged yourself but it will give your body time to adjust before it gets used.

I have had the exact same experience for few months. My WLS was on April 14, 2015, and my weight was 403 before my surgery.

I was struggling to meet the requirements last few months then my weight was stalled temporarily when I was unable to lose weight because I thought about going back to old bad habit again. After that I'd been fighting with my demons for quite some time and I have been seeing my dietician when complaining about my struggles so she puts me on strict 600-800 calories diet. Finally I lose some unwanted weight and my weight is now 261, but I know it's not easy to follow the restrictions.

But still you can do it. I'm highly recommended you talks to your Bariatric Doctor, NUT, or dietician about your struggles ASAP.

Did you record any food intakes into your log book?

How much grams of carbs/sugars they recommends you to eat?

Did they tell you that you can drink Decaf coffee instead of regular coffee so that your sleeved stomach can tolerate?

Something like that you will be able to follow your restrictions if possible.

I wasn't told exactly to take Vitamins so haven't been doing that very much. I'm gonna look some up and start that

Definitely. When you have your six-month follow-up it should include a blood test to check your Vitamin levels.

What is your Protein target? Are you reaching that daily?

Protein target is 80-100 grams daily. But when I get to about 50 I have a full feeling. It's not fun so I don't force myself to eat. Plus I drink about 130-140 oz of Water daily. Try my best to at least. I'll talk to them about that tho. Thank you

      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? 🤷‍♀️
