Has anyone else had minimal weight loss ? I was sleeved on 2 December and I’ve only lost 8.8lbs :( really down about it.

Me too! I keep watching for the scale to change and it's just not going as quick as I'd hoped. I was sleeved on Dec 7 and I've only lost 6 pounds. Ugh. What am I doing wrong?! :(

sorry I didn't give any more update yesterday I as .... in an emotional train wreck

They cancelled my appointment of the 18 and moved it to jan 22nd.... now they are telling me i do not need to do the liquid diet again HOWEVER they are not giving me any specific guideline. Except like no sugar i can follow a more or less normal diet.

I wish they had a list of instruction when they delay someone for SO long.

I already did 4 only liquid weeks. Now I am expected to do 5 more pre-op weeks.

I found a list online and I think I will follow this guideline https://advancedsurgicalpartnersofva.com/util/forms/liver-reduction-diet.pdf

it's a more or less "normal" diet that is for liver reduction.

Now for a NSV I did not eat my frustration. I asked my boss to give me the week to digest all this and it was refused I was so upset at this.... so ill keep monitoring what I eat and stick it to this list I found but I need to re-do all my groceries and everything. And tell the government I don't need anything... yay...

Could it be the Fluid from hospital? I’ve only been having broth and I walk. It just doesn’t make sense to me.


Sleeved: 2/12/2017

I had my sleeve on 12/13 so almost a week out and I too am having trouble getting my Water or any liquid in. No matter how small of a sip, I get a cramping pain in my chest, right below the breastbone. Everyone keeps telling me it's normal, it's the extra CO2 from surgery and to just keep walking, it will eventually get better. I sure hope so because I would like to drink more but with this constant pain I don't feel like I can. I hope you both feel better as well!

That pain is the liquid getting stuck and waiting to enter your stomach. Smaller sips or more time between sips will help. Sitting really straight or standing may also help. It took me 3 hrs to drink a Protein Shake yesterday.... Hopefully it gets easier when the swelling goes down!

Hi guys!
Is everyone meeting their fluid goals yet?? I was sleeved on the 7th and finally made it to 54oz yesterday. But today I can start eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt and Beans. And I have no clue how to make sure I'm meeting food and Fluid goals!

I did get fluids again after leaving the hospital, but I feel like the weight should be coming off faster. I suppose it depends on the metabolism rate. It's just frustrating that we're not losing faster! I want to be lighter weight NOW lol

Hi! I was sleeved on Dec 7 too. I was barely making it to 20 ounces per day for the first week. I got so dehydrated I needed IV fluids. Still not getting enough, but closer to the 55-60 range. I have no idea how I'm going to get that much when I start eating. My surgeon has me on full liquids until 12/28, then I can start purée and soft foods. Good luck starting to eat! A scrambled egg sounds amazing!

Yeah I needed iv's over the weekend.. It wasn't too fun! I learned my lesson and have been really pushing to hit at least 50 but I really want to hit 64 today. That's my goal!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
