Anyone scheduled for sleeve in late Dec? Mine is on Dec 26, and I’d love to be in touch with others going through it with me.

I had my surgery on Dec 29th. The first three weeks everything was going great. Now i have some light headedness and moments of feeling like all my energy has been sucked out of me. Has anyone else felt this?

Sleeved 12/28, today.

So does anyone else have issues with their scale? I get on and it says one thing and then I get in again and it’s up like 4 pounds and then I do it again and it different again and so on? What’s the real weight? Ugh! Also I can totally eat like 5 ounces now and I’m 5 weeks in. I feel like I can eat a good amount!! ScAred!

You’re supposed to be able to eat 4 oz of solid food at a time (2 oz protein and 2 oz fruit/vegetables). Have you tried replacing the batteries in your scale?

They are replaced lol...

Sounds like your scale hates you.

I love my Fitbit Aria scale. Definitely an investment but I love seeing my weight and body fat on a pretty little down-trending graph!

I got sleeved on 12/14 and the same thing happens, one day its 2lbs down next its 3lbs up. Also, I feel like I can eat way too much at this stage. I had a cup of sweet potato gnocchi tonight with no issue.

My dr issued me a prescription for an antacid to take everyday. So I haven’t had that problem. But I do get full after a few bites. So I stop eating.

I can eat a lot too. It’s kinda demoralizing. I worry about my long term success.

Anyone else hate yoga? My doc cleared me for exercise so I went to a yoga class this morning. I was the youngest by at least 30 years, yet I couldn’t do any of the poses. It’s so depressing.

I had my sleeve surgery on 12/28/17. And felt I was doing really good, then was at a total stand still for almost 2 weeks. My 5 week check up is Wednesday afraid the Dr may not be happy with my progress.

I used to try videos at home, but couldn't really get into it. I even did private instruction but I have chronic pain so a lot of the poses are really uncomfortable. Some of the stretches I have been doing for years - especially after my days at the gym {not recently} - are modified yoga postures, and they really help with tight muscles. It's a different experience for everyone, but I wish I could get into it like a lot of others do.

I have just been walking now, little by little, which is pretty boring. But have been thinking about adding in Tai Chi and maybe finding meditation/relaxation techniques that would be good for my pain issues. Also I always really liked Tae Bo, even though it's considered old school these days

My sleeve was on 12/29, and i'm going through the same thing. I was doing really well the first 2 weeks. Down about 15lbs at my first post op appt on 1/11/18. So my doctor wanted me down another 25 lbs in a month, i had a stand still the last couple weeks and i have to loose 19lbs by my 2nd post op appt in 2 weeks! I'm afraid he wont be able with my results either.

Not exactly at a standstill but not.as fast as I like. Guess I need to take a longer view. The reason I am not losing isn't because I eat too much that's for sure. I know I am being healthy and active so I will just stay away from the scale. It isn't my friend at the moment. So why put myself through it.
