My surgery is coming up, August 30th, but one thing I have learned from a lot of people on here is to Celebrate the NSVs (Non-Scale Victories). I am filled with excitement and nerves, but you all seem to be doing pretty well. Thanks for sharing your experiences!!!

You will do great, its very exciting, i loved reading about others when i was waiting to do mine!

Mine was the 18. I'm MISERABLE. I'm eating 8oz of food per meal and I'm starving all day long. Down 40 pounds from the start of this whole ordeal but let's face it, the weight came off because I starved myself for 4 weeks. So not a happy camper right now and second guessing even doing the surgery. What's the point if I have to go the rest of my life starving and feeling like this. I have the same starving feeling after I eat that I had before I eat!!

Hi how are you doing? Did your surgeon tell you to eat 8 ounces in one sitting? I thought most people were at 4 ounce per sittin vary intresting how plans vary.

I spoke to my nutritionist the other day and told her I was eating 4 ounces and still very hungry. She told me I could eat anywhere from 4-8 ounces. I bumped it up to 8 and still haven't felt full after a meal.

I did not know people even eat 8 ounces a year out that is intresting. what food are you eating? can you eat 8 ounce of meat?

I should have explained it better. I'm not able to eat 8 ounces of solid foods. I was able to eat 7-8 ounces of puréed and soft food. When I eat solid food I can't eat more than 3-4 ounces. Sorry for the confusion.

Ahh I am with you!

My surgery was on July 17th. I have been losing slow and steady. But today I weighed and I gained 1.5 pounds. Now I am in full panic mode. Has anyone else experience a weight gain?

I was sleeved July 25th and today is my 4 week mark and I've felt great honestly. All my incisions have healed tremendously well and I'm down 37 pounds as of today - feeling extremely ecstatic about that. I have no issues with the solid stage - I am a vegetarian so no issues with any foods being caught since I am strictly plant based.

Wishing everyone the best of luck

Wow! Down 37 in 4 weeks!? I must really be doing something wrong! I had my procedure 7/24 and am down only 8 lbs! Great job! Very excited for you!

Still in extreme pain in my abdomen but all I am told is this is normal. I truly regret what I have done if I have to continue with the unexplainable pain 4 weeks out.

That's great I'm 4 weeks out but I'm only 12lb down from a week ago I said I'm nite going to get on the scale for a while it can be discouraging.

I was sleeved on the 26th of July and yesterday I went and I had gained 2 pounds. I was so frustrated. The dietician explained to me that looking at the scale analysis that for some reason I had a 10 pound increase in water but a reduction of 8 pounds in fat mass. For some reason I am retaining water. This helped me a bit but I was still discouraged!

I personally have not. But I have seen around.

Are you weighing same time , in the morning after a pee? Not today morning tommorow evening ( we weigh more in evening)

Is it time of the month?

Are you drinking enough?

Not having too much sodium?

What is your daily eating like? Our weight does fluctuate so giving mre time between weighing may help
