If you've read about stalls, then you'd know that the 3rd week is pretty much a given. If you are following your instructions, and getting as much water as you can... then don't worry about it.

I've read about stall but I'm in my 3rd week of ESG with no weight loss the 2nd week and a 1 Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Is anyone experiencing major fluctuations in body temperature? I am a month post-op and have been noticing that I am always extremely cold. I have always had a bit of a cold intolerance (pre-surgery) as a symptom of my hypothyroidism. But now I find myself bundling up everywhere and it’s not even winter yet. I am thankful I do not live somewhere it snows or I don’t know what I would do. Has anyone experienced this and found a way to overcome?

Those goals are not universal, just a heads up.

I am a RnY, healing slowly post-surgery on September 5th, on Stage 2, 600-800 calories which is truly deficent for proper needs. My bariatric team knows, I see surgeon again on October 9th and am scheduled for an Exploratory EGD on October 12th, I am tolerating soups, broth, liquids but my pouch does not accept purees. Maybe a slight stricture, But that is a bypass problem, not only sleevers regularly encounter. Until you restart solid foods, I doubt you'll reach 1000 calories,but then i, too, am learning as I go. And I do take, viscerally multi-vites, B12 (sublingual) calcium citrate, magnesium and all ordered meds including Zofran. I am losing weight, 22 pounds post-surgery, which is glorious for a 72 year old metabolism, usually the same rate as a sick depressed sea slug, but anxious for more good times to roll.😜🎪📍🚩🎃

It looks like you just had surgery 2-days ago? I wouldn't worry about calories.. worry about getting your protein and water goals met, honestly that's the most important thing to be concerned about right now. Once you progress through the phases of your post op, you caloric intake will slightly increase. But ALWAYS ALWAYS focus on getting your protein and water first.

I’m going through the same thing, I was always hot but now I’m freezing at work. I love it! Now I can wear all of the cute jackets and sweaters that’s just been hanging in my closet...it’s a pleasant change for me, I’m not even having anymore hot flashes come to think of it...yessss!! I hope that last lol

I will be 1 year out on October 6th. I've reach and went below what doctor has given as a goal. I went from 298 to current weight of 132. I am very pleased with the progress I have made throughout this past year. It is a mind set you have to live with forever. I have been given a highly helpful tool with my sleeve and thank God daily for it. Hope all you other sleevers are having as good of progress as I have had!
