COVID and Sleeve

[SeattleLady 277]

I had a positive COVID test over a month ago! I have lost 18 pounds. I am so happy with the weight-loss. I still need to lose more. Revision was my goal. Does not look like that is going to happen!

COVID sucks. Some people die or never fully recover. With my sleeve and after COVID the only thing I can eat is fish, over cooked veggies and a little rice.

I don't know how to set a weight-loss goal on something that might Plateau at any moment! Has anyone experienced having COVID and been sleeved? Can you write about your experience?

Thanks

I was sleeved 9/21/21 and ended up getting COVID a couple of weeks ago. I was fully vaccinated and boosted, and had already lost nearly 70lbs from my highest weight, which I absolutely credit with my mild case and speedy recovery. While sick I had almost no appetite and lived off of Protein Shakes and Soup. I tried to get my fluids in but did not track food or Protein or steps or anything else. I rested and medicated. Since then I've bounced back just about 95%. I still have a small cough, but that could also be attributed to cold weather and asthma.

It might be helpful to check in with your surgeon/dietician for some guidance if you are struggling with food tolerance/intake.

I had a presumptive positive last month (couldn't get a test for love or money around here). I was sleeved in September. I ended up retaining Water and felt bloated. I gained three pounds (and wigged out) but as soon as I got over it, that weight came right back off. I didn't lose my appetite, though, I just was too tired to eat.
