Late December Sleevers?

I’m 10 days and only down 7 lbs. I was down 10 at 7 days but then I gained 3 lbs. at first I thought it was just Water weight, but it’s stuck for three days, so I have no idea what’s going on. There should be no way I could gain weight on a liquid diet!

Dont weigh yourself so often. Your body will go up and down it isnt going to just be a straight drop off. Dont worry.

My name is Jon and I'm 35. Had my surgery on 12/19. My doctor requested that I do the pre-op diet starting right after Thanksgiving since my BMI was so high. It was at 66. My weight was at 469. Got down to 427 before surgery. I'm at around 400 now and I've been lingering there for a few days. I don't know if that is a cause for concern or not. I'm on the soft foods portion of my post-op diet process.

I had surgery 12/27. Surgery weight was 245 and im 231 now. I have followed the full liquid diet as of now but i am struggling to drink and eat enough. I dont have an appetite. I am really hating the Protein Shake after taste and honestly i prefer to not eat but i push myself to least get 60g of Protein with shakes. I also bought Isopure Protein Drink in different flavors with 40g protein and i drink it cold. Just started creme of wheats and its ok. I dont have any issues drinking only thing that is happening lately after i eat creamy watery Soup is hiccups. I have to regularize my breathing to stop hiccups. Lets stay motivated and keep encouraging each other..

Probably up from the wine, but man I bet you had a good buzz!! Lol. I’m too scared to drink right now lol. Don’t worry it’ll probably be gone tomorrow.

So I started my unflavored Protein Powder yesterday and my stomach has been torn up. I’m thinking it’s the milk part and I might have to get a plant based Protein powder. Anybody else have problems with the whey protein?

Have u tried using baby spoons? Maybe ur spoonfuls are too normal size. Try smaller spoonfuls or just dip ur spoon into whatever ur eating instead of spooning it out like regular. Hope that helps.

I had my surgery on 12/26, and I'm down 12 lbs. since then. My stomach has been bothering me more the last two days, but I am still trying to get in a walk a day to keep active.

These posts worry me a little. I’m 8 days out and I can gulp Water, feel little restriction and there hasn’t been a single food that has caused me any problems. The only effect from the surgery that I feel is lack of hunger. This may sound great to you if you are having difficulties, but I wonder if this surgery may not work for me. Is that possible? I have not eaten much and have been pretty good on my diet, so I’m good so far, but...

Water is the only thing I can get down easily. I don’t really get hungry, but I feel my stomach gurgle when it’s about time for me to eat. I eat very little and very slowly. A few things haven’t sat well, and they came right back up.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
