I have realized my situation. Was still dehydrated even tho taking in 48-60 oz of Fluid because I wasn’t eating much and then I am lacking serious minerals in my body

Yeah thats what the Vitamins are for. Thats odd you were dehydrated from lack of food and you have high Fluid intake. That was probably my issue as well.

I was also horribly constipated. I took Dulcolax mild OTC and it helped me SO much! I only had to take it once. My doctor said Constipation is normal with everything our systems are dealing with on top of anesthesia.

Thanks, I have taken some Miralax so I'm hoping it will help soon!

Hi,

I had my sleeve on 11 Dec 2017. I am from Singapore.

332 lb pre starting the pre op diet
320 lb right after op
300 lb 3 weeks post op
293 lb 5 weeks post op

When I went for my 1st appoint 3 weeks post op, the staff at the hospital told me that I am expected to lose more so I got depressed.

I had few days where the weight does not go down, generally when I am sick with flu or cold which made me feel down however I am starting to get used to these short pleatu and try to adjust my diet

I am currently at 63-70g of Protein and 800-850 calories daily.

I hope to lose 130 lb with the 12-18 months window so my weight will be 200 lb from this surgery and then lose more by my own there after.

Well I tell you I never thought baby food would taste so good. I seasoned it and it was actually ok. Hoping you have less issues.

Hahaha - I had sweet potato baby food last night and thought I had died and gone to heaven. It was amazing.

I had my sleeve surgery on 12/28. I start pureed foods on Thursday and am back to work tomorrow! Nervous about going back to work. I have also stalled in my weight loss. I lost about 17 punds since surgery and cannot seem to move. very frustrating! Any tips are greatly appreciated!

[Lotte22 37]

I lost 7lbs the first week after surgery and then stalled for two weeks. Not a single ounce lost after one week post op!!! This morning I lost 1lb, so hopefully that means my stall is over. It’s extremely frustrating! But I have been told it is normal, and you will get through it.

have you tried increasing your Protein and Water intake?

[bookworm1983 28]

I am getting at least 60 grams of Protein a day. I could be doing better on my Water.

[Lotte22 37]

I’ve tried, but I can’t get it much higher. There’s just not enough hours in the day to eat/drink what they tell me to. I get between 60-80g of Protein a day and keep calories between 600-800. I don’t measure Water, but I sip throughout the day. Probably not meeting their recommendations, but definitely not dehydrated.

Congratulations you're off to a great start

So.... Starting 4 weeks out post op... and I got a uti first one ever... I think it’s from the cathiders I had at the hospital... (kidneys wouldn’t wake up from anesthesia) out in macrodantin yesterday and it makes me feel aweful for the first couple hours. Like weak and flushed dizzy... and now just now my back is hurting... could this be from the antibiotics?
