Ugh - I've been on a month long plateau! I go to the doctor on Wednesday and find out if I should still be throwing up what I eat 2-3x a week and why, if I'm doing what I'm supposed to, I'm not losing any weight.

How are you all doing?

How are all the January sleevers doing since our surgery?


Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Not so bad, feels great to be able to drink Water without wanting to throw up. Sleeved on 1/10/17, about 19 lbs less than sleeve day. Today is Sunday and since last Sunday, no loss. I am cool with it because many experienced a stall at 3 weeks, guess mine was at week 5. Not loving food. I don't want shakes, don't want eggs, I have to force myself and gag at some of these things. I used to only eat chicken/fish before surgery, now I don't want chicken either. I have been eating more Highlander Beef because I don't want so many things. I was dying for a salad, got a Ceasar and was able to only eat like 4 bites of romaine....weird! I feel great especially after dehydrating a couple of weeks ago. Horrible experience, fevers, chills, that week alone lost like 8 lbs. Even though no loss this week, feels great to feel good again. Will try and chug down those shakes again, starting tomorrow. ;-)

Had some complications after surgery, had some blood loss and wound up needing two blood transfusions, then my heart was racing and high blood pressure so they moved me to the cardiac floor. Spent 6 days in the hospital. But it was still worth it, lost 46lbs already.

Wow, sounds like you had a rough start. That sounds very scary. I think I would have freaked out, I went to Mexico to have it done and had to fly back by myself. I thought about complications, but kept on back of my mind. Nice loss. I am on a stall now ;-) I have been stuck for 10 days now. Not too worried, I know at some point it has to move. Glad you have lost nice amount and doing well.

Ugh...feel your pain. On day 3 my spleen decided to spring a leak. It is amazing how much the human body freaks the eff out when there is blood where it isn't supposed to be. By the end of the day I got moved down to ICU and spent like 2 days there before going back to my old room. Definitely not the start I had hoped for but doing much better now.

Have my 4 week follow up with my doc today and will hopefully be cleared to go back to most foods. As of this morning I'm down 27 lbs since surgery. All in all I'm down 45 lbs since I started the 2 week pre-op diet (so down that much over a span of 6 weeks).

I definitely would've been nervous about complications if I had it done in Mexico too. Lucky thing you didn't have any problems.
I haven't lost any more weight since the past weekend but can't really complain. Glad to hear your doing well.

The thing I hate is, every other week I have gone thru chills, low grade temps 99.4 (when I dehydrated I got to 104.7). Been fine all week and last night BAM, chills, temp 99.4, my cheeks get really red. I made sure to drink, I can't get to 64 oz. but I did have about 46 oz. I still don't really feel like eating, it's a chore. Last night I made tacos for my hub, so I cooked some of the meat (Scottish Highlander Beef-very low in fat) and I ended up eating 2 oz and half avocado. When I say chore, it's like I chew and chew and chew, and then I just can't eat any more. I have tried my fave salads, green Beans, chicken, tuna, there is nothing I really want. Guess just have to get thru these next couple of months. I did have my Protein Drink during the day, yes, I gag that down too. I used to love them and HATE them now, and I am only on week 6.

Thank god I'm not going through that! It sounds really rough. I've been holding liquids really well. When it comes to food tho that can be tricky. When I do eat (and it's like 2or3tbs) nauseous, sweats, and diarrhea for like an hour afterwards. Getting to the point where I don't want to eat.

Can't wait til we get thru a few months and get to a good point. At week 4, I would still get diarrhea quite often, thankfully that stopped. Last night I fell asleep at 6:15 woke up at 9:10, went back to sleep, up at 1:40 and went back to sleep til 5 am, back to sleep till got up at 6 am to shower and get to work. I think our bodies do require a lot of rest, it was a big part of us removed. Does take a while for it to heal no matter how great we feel at times. No chills, feel great today, so insane is the yo yo of feeling good, and freezing/chills. I read that is one of the #1 side effects, feeling cold.

Hello all! Sleeved 1/25. 26 lbs down so far. It's def a struggle to get in my fluids. Doing good if I can get to 54oz by midnight! I'm getting about 90+ of my Protein in. Doing ok-ish w my Vitamins. Def hate when I make a wrong decision and the pain I get from that learning experience. Ex: I used to love the Gordmons Cajun Fish filets. Not now. It was prob the Cajun seasoning that got me :-( All in all, things have been a lot better since about week 3. I prob do need to Fig out what else I can eat but my go to meals for when I'm at work are egg salad and tuna salad.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
