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 ..

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
