I ended up back in surgery because i was bleeding internally and was given 2 units of blood. Ive been in the ICU since but i feel soooo much better. I have been walking and drinking just fine.

So I just tried a scrambled egg with cheese and other than the fact that I couldnt manage more than 4 bites and my bfast has stretched into lunch, it tasted great and felt so good to be able to chew something - I mixed some salt and pepper into the egg whipping and add cheese while it was on the stove.

So yesterday, I got super thirsty at around 6pm. Up until that point I probably had 1 bottle of Water. Made it home from work, and had to drink drink drink. I got down 2 cups in about 10 minutes. That was a record. Knew i was going to be in pain but to my surprise ... Nothing. So a few hours later I filled up my glass and was able to drink like I had before the surgery. I didn't think that was going to be possible again.

So today I was reading about exercise and maintaining muscle and I ran across this article. Everyone's Dr. is different and follow different guidelines but several of you were talking about stalls in the first few weeks after surgery and when I read it, I immediately thought of sharing with you all.

Hi everyone, I was sleeved on 4/11, I am 5'2, my weight the day of my surgery was 205, and today I weigh 198. My goal weight is somewhere between 120 and 130lbs. I am worried that I'm not losing enough weight. I am following my nutritionist's plan to a T, no cheating at all. Getting in around 750 to 800 calories per day, drinking 80 ounces of Water, and getting in 100 grams of Protein daily. I walk 1 to 2 miles every day. I am noticing that my clothes are bigger, but the scale isn't moving much. I went from a 2X to a Large. I'm beginning to feel discouraged. Any advice?

Throw the scale out! That is not how you should depend your feelings on. The way you feel the way that your clothes feel on you and how much freer you feel when you move your body. Maybe will yourself once a month or just when you go for your doctor visits. Seriously hide that thing!

I second that. Don't worry about the scale. If your body is changing its a sign that you are making progress. You've already made some progress, and while it may not seem like a lot, I can tell you that I too was in a 2x and wish I was able to fit the large shirts in my closet. Everyone is different and loses (progresses) differently.

Take a few measurements today and begin to track by the tape measure if thats the way your body is progressing. The scale will have it's turn soon. :)

I know everyone says don't worry about scale. But I keep up with today I have been sleeved since April 6th and I'm down 41. I measure all food to a cup since I have felt no restrictions I can now have soft vegetables instead of mashed. Only issues is my back and shoulders are hurting which I attribute to atrophy of the muscles since I haven't worked out or lifted much in my upper body since surgery

Ugh... So sorry you had that experience! I hope it has gotten better for you since! I was sleeved on the 25th and nothing major except for gas bubbles.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
