Don't worry, your body is just catching up. You usually lose inches when you don't lose weight. Weight fluctuates a lot. It will be fine!

You can and will do it! May take a while, you're pretty now but you are going to make Beyonce look like your ugly stepsister#

Good luck to you also!

I am also getting sleeved on Monday the 18th. Best of luck to you.

A month later... you might want to talk to your PCP or Surgical team... that's not normal.

I you are in Prince William County Va like that zip,code says, would you like some Buckeye cousins? My late MIL was a Dunn before her marriage. Anywhoo deep congratulations on your successful surgery and I hope your healing will go well from here on out!

Figure out your BMR here https://www.myfitnesspal.com/tools/bmr-calculator (Your BMR is the amount of calories your body needs just to be alive, think in a coma, alive but not moving). And don't eat more than that per day and you should be fine. My current BMR is 2047, so barring any medication that causes weight gain etc, if I laid in bed all day and didn't consume 2047 calories, I'd be at a deficit and my body would be forced to use it's energy stores. Stay under your BMR if you can't exercise and you shouldn't have a problem with weight gain.

A week after....no. Don't do it. Pre-op? You might be ok. But you'll be tired and hungrier than you've ever been in your life. You'll probably have a brutal headache. All the people grilling and eating junk food and drinking around you will suck...a lot. But if you're so into the music that it's a good distration, maybe this could work. Personally? I'd give the surgery and prep the priority it deserves....and skip the concert. You're having major abdominal surgery. Avoiding stress and dehydration just prior is common sense.

That's perfectly fine to drink the shake in 30 minutes. The swelling in your stomach has gone down and allows the liquid to pass right through. However, you now have absolutely no excuse not to get your water in every day! You won't really start feeling restriction until you start eating soft foods That's also when you start being able to feel "full". One tip for the hunger: Sugar-free jello, DON'T CHEW IT WELL! It will be slippery enough to get into your stomach all right, but it will take your stomach a while to break it down, so you feel full for a while. The little ready-to-eat cup is the perfect size! Good luck! p.s. In my area, bariatric support meetings are open to everyone, even if you didn't have surgery at their facility. Maybe you can find one near you?

I started my 2 week liquid diet today. Not bad at all. Can you tell me how every one did on theirs? Sent from my Z982 using BariatricPal mobile app
