I had the sleeve on 16th of Jan, and initially lost 4-5 kg very quickly, then the last two weeks, I have lost only 1.7kg, (3.5 lbs) I know it can happen, that the body can retain Water and it’s not reflecting the loss. I am just venting my frustration. I tried eating more 800-1000 cals last week, nothing, exactly the same weight for 6 days, then a minuscule 100gm loss. It's been frustrating! DaisyChainOz, keep your chin up! You know you've got this! Sooner or later we'll encounter obstacles. Fight the good fight, and hang in there - you'll be off the plateau and on your way again. Cheering you on! 1 DaisyChainOz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive been forcibly reminded that post op , I need to stay on liquids only for a whole month, so back on milk and broth for me Each of us seems to have a different answer to that issue depending on who is helping us. Regarding liquids post op, try adding some lemon to the Water (in the UK , Robinsons zero cal Lemon cordial) it really helped me. Have you had the op or are you waiting?

Yes, that is a big challenge! On top of that, my hubby likes to cook, so he watches lots of cooking shows. Fortunately we have 2 TV's in the house, so I don't have to watch cooking shows, but you're right -- it's hard to find even a half-hour show of any type without several food commercials 😵💫 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m having mine today so hopefully not too long to wait. What did you have done if you don’t mind me asking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skewiff 4 Posted Wednesday at 07:32 AM Gastric Sleeve, with a hernia fixed while he was in there, as I seemed to have climbed into my own oesophagus the hernia fix means that I have more to repair and a VERY small food pipe. When I woke up - the pain cleared up relatively fast and honestly - it wont hurt after that - you have made the right choice. By the end of the day, you will feel better and ready to start seeing your scales again without fear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skewiff 4 Posted Wednesday at 07:33 AM oh, and watch out for the UK catering teams, they dont care that you have had a sleeve and will offer you the wrong food. make sure post op that you have Water and milk until your are ready to make valid choices for yourself. 1 NeonRaven8919 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
