Going into week 5



Recommended Posts

Thanks for the info- we bought some apple cider vinegar but haven't tried it yet. Will definitely check out de. Berg.

Hi everyone, I am going into week 5 I was sleeved on 6/19 and I have gained 3lbs! I just saw the doctor this week and he said I am doing fine, I'm even cleared for regular food. I am worried that I am gaining weight and not losing any right now. What should I do or what shouldn't I do at this point? Any meal ideas would be awesome also!

I see you have lost 26 lbs. though. Congrats on that. Be glad you can have real food now. Keep doing what you've been doing. This could just be a stall. Think of the 26 and give the scale a break. You,ve got this.

Just joining the conversation. I got sleeved May 1st and I was 303. When I got home as of this week July 17th I'm 273 I thought that I would have lost more in damn near 3 months. Needless to say I'm not empressed yet. Most ppl that I follow has list 70-80 pounds by month 6. Not to mention that I also can eat about 7 ounces depending on what food it is. I almost feel like my doctor doesn't do the procedure the way most doctors do it. I shouldn't be able to put anything in my body and be fine right now.

Hi coco :) What made you even try to eat 7 ounces? The plan for most is 4 ounces. Most people do not test there sleeve to see if they can eat more. Why not just stick to the plan ? Your eating more than I assume your being told to eat. Your more likely to lose if you stick to the plan. The amount of restriction will depend on what you are eating. But even if I do not feel full I'll never go over the amount I was told to have. Im sure if some tried they could fit in more than 4 ounces doesn't mean their pouch isnt done right.

Good luck you can do this ..

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
