I’m not able to eat more than a 1000 calories. I’ve lost 25 since the 6th of June and a total of 5 inches. How is everyone else doing?
I was sleeved on 6/6 and have lost 25 as well. Haven’t had a stall.

I’ve stalled for about a week now. Even gained 3 pounds then came back down 2 pounds. Might be because I now have my period heavier than. It’s been in 3 years. I eat maybe 600 calories the most but I don’t count calories I count Protein and stay away from carbs and try to do 64oz of Water plus 60g of protein

a glorified stomach medicine. Actually stands for proton pump inhibitor, after your surgery your sleeve or pouch(in my case) will be crabby, crying its tears,of rage. Sadly it's tears are stomach acid,whic h is rough on surgically wounded surfaces so your surgeon makes sure you have this to keep from ulcers forming. I am still,PreSurgery, but already on Dexilant Most people are put on omeprazole, I'm just a little special 💊😛,💊

I ate way more than I thought was possible. Maybe it was that it took me over an hour but I ate over a cup and a half of food.

Me too! I was sleeves 6/21 and just started soft foods and I'm surprised at how much I can eat. I'm a lil worried.

Congrats,I was sleeved 6/7, had several stalls. I just stop loosing weight for a week than I loose a couple pounds and the cycle starts again. Not sure if it is my body adjusting or I am doing something wrong. I usually eat 600 - 700 calories per day, mostly Protein. I eat 3 main meals and one snack. Lost 17lbs, but 13 was in the first week and a half. Everybody says to just give time so that is what I am doing.

I was sleeved on 6/28....day 9 postop. I was 195 last Thursday and I weigh 197 today, I'm still on liquids..broth, Water and sugar-free, an artificial sweetner-free drink called Bai which is only 10 calories per bottle. How is it possible that I'm gaining weight on such little. I'm a little concerned and bummed. I did have horrible diarrhea pre and postop. It stopped two days ago and now it appears I may be constipated. Ugh. Has anyone else had weight fluctuations so soon postop? I thought this is when weight would be dropping off of me. Bummed.

I'm so happy! I had family in town over the holiday week, and I hosted a BBQ last night. I made chicken shawarma wraps that everyone assembled themselves, to keep it easy. After marinating boneless skinless thighs all day, and throwing them on the grill, I was successfully able to eat some of it! Everyone else had their chicken on some naan warmed on the grill and smeared with hummas, tabbouleh salad, and some tzatziki sauce. Yum!

And while I didn't eat all that, of course, I did enjoy tiny bites of that delicious chicken with some hummus and tzatziki to keep it nice and moist. It didn't get stuck and didn't make me sick! Huge blessing after everything I've been going through with the stricture or whatever is causing my swallowing issues. Maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel!

Anyway, just wanted to share my little victory! 😊

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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
