I was hoping that it could be not getting enough water or protein. I will keep better track and increase both of them. Thanks

I was sleeved 1/14/2013. So far I have lost 35 pounds, but over the past few days I see I have gained 4 pounds. I already feel like I am loosing slow and now gaining 4 pounds. How is that possible? I know I am not eating too much. Could that happen from not getting enough protein or water? Any ideas out there?

I had surgery 1/14/2013. When i was apporved for surgery it was one of the happiest days in my life. I am very open about having the surgery. I tell everyone the benifits of having it. I even tell the skinny people because they might know a "fat person" and can encourage them to look in to the surgery. Some people are scared and don't know anyone that have had surgery. I know to some it is private, but in a way I feel you are being selfish not to share something that can change someones life. I understand people can be very judgemental. Just think maybe you can change one persons life. Maybe you can save one persons life. Just because you were open and honest about something that changed your life.

I was always hot. Now I find myself cold more often. I thought it was just me... What is up with that?

I am three weeks out and have not used a straw but struggle to get the liquid in. I know the rational of not using a straw. If u think about it the liquid is not up to the top of the straw and u have to suck it up and there is a portion that is not in liquid. Maybe if I have a shorter straw or more liquid in the cup it will cut down how much air I swallow. I am going to try it ..........

Not only am I tired I feel sort of weak/shaky. I know people say it will get better but a small part of me worries what if it does not. That scares me.

I really had no problems after surgery, but being so tired. I feel bad complaining about being tired and I read others real problems.

Stall 2 weeks after revision?
ttammara replied to blondiefroggy's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I had my surgery 1/14 also. I lost 14 pounds and the I stalled for about 4 to 5 days. Then I weighted myself this am and I lost another pound. I am on regular texture protein but no beef. Struggling to get 64 ounces of fluid in. I am getting about 50 grams of protein. My doc wants 60 to 80 grams a day. -
