Surgery January 30, 2018 not losing😓



Recommended Posts

Sleeved January 30th. Ive only list 3 pounds in 2 weeks😓. I’m feeling like it’s not working for me. I’m not gaining, just not losing. I was 320 2 weeks before surgery and 310 before surgery. I’m now 278. I felt great at first, but now feel bloated and hate these stalls! Anyone else feel like they aren’t losing enough? I really don’t want to be ONE who surgery didn’t work on, ugh!

OK, so sorry you're going through this. It SUCKS!!!! Now, down to brass tacks...have you pooped lately? And when I say pooped, I mean POOPED! Like pooped long, hard, considerably!!!! That's going forward, gonna be my question to every newbie post surgery who has issues with loss and bloating. Why? Um, let's just say personal experience and leave it at that! :D So how many times have you pooped in the last week alone? How big/voluminous were they?

Also check your Protein Shakes. I watched a show and this girl was drinking high Protein shakes, but didn't look at her caloric intake.

FluffyChix, pooping is not so good. I did take some Milk of Magnesia earlier in the week, and even then didn’t feel I went enough. I just hope to get out of this slump soon. I’m so discouraged right now.

Don't get discouraged. Sleevers lose for 18 months. Stalls are just part of the process. Be patient, consistent and just keep following the plan.

We've all been there. What you're experiencing is normal. Don't panic and don't despair. It's gonna be ok.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
