I think you are right, I don't think I am getting in near enough protein either, I haven't really documented it like I should be because I have been so busy at work and I decided to go back to school to get my MBA and found out I was accepted into the program at Texas A&M and start in July, so I have been a bit overwhelmed lately. I did actually weigh this morning and low and behold I was down 3 pounds, so I am now down 48 pounds. I started kicking my workouts up a notch so maybe that will help also, crossing my fingers I can get this weight loss into gear!! I do want to mention that I did actually go from a size 22 pant size to a size 16 and 14 in some, so I know that isn't something to sneeze at. I may just be too hard on myself, and letting that nurse get to me. -

I had surgery 12/27/2012 and I am only down 45 pounds also, it is really upsetting for me because my doctor's nurse keeps telling me I should be losing more. It is making me feel like I am doing something wrong, when I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. I don't know what the problem is. I am very frustrated...I only lose 4 - 5 pounds a month and it sucks. -
Weight loss stall
jcsleeved2013 replied to ldietrich's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having the worst luck on weight loss, at least in my opinion compared to what most everyone else does. I am 5 months out from surgery and I am only down 45 pounds. I lose maybe 4 - 5 pounds a month, it is horrible!! I am very discouraged!!! -

jcsleeved2013 replied to newgrandmother's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The same actually happens for me as well. I couldn't believe it, if I don't eat enough carbs I don't lose, too much Protein and I stall. -
Pain in left shoulder after I eat.
jcsleeved2013 replied to spoiledbratt97's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine was too, whether I was eating or not it hurt. I couldn't take a breath without ot shooting a pain through my shoulder. If I had a hiccup I thought I was going to pass out it hurt so bad. It got to the point it was just aching all the time eating or not. I finally got those meds I mentioned previously and took alleve and it finally went away. -

I had the exact same thing, I had to eat slower and take smaller bites, along with taking pantoprazole and carafate for about 4 weeks, it healed right up. I had the hiatel hernia repair as well, so what we think the issue was just inflamation from the surgery. It is actually very common, I had all your same symptoms scared me to death and had test after test and in the end, I just needed to heal a little longer. Talk to your doctor and just ask for those two prescriptions and I guarantee you will start feeling a lot better!! Also, mine started about 6 weeks after surgery, my doctor said that is very common because of irritation and the effects of having surgery. -

Ok, update my surgery was 12/27/2012, I was only on my pre-diet for 5 days and only lost 3 pounds because it was kind of a rush to get the surgery done before the new year, so I count my weight loss as a total. So, I started at 251 and I weighed this morning and I am now 229, so at 6 weeks including week prior to surgery I am a total of 22 pounds down. I guess this is good, I ended up getting sick right after surgery with a really bad cold and was in bed for a week, then ended up with a stomach virus one day, but have been fine since. :-) -

My post-op nightmare.
jcsleeved2013 replied to soccergirl88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same problem, still have some if it, but it seems to be getting better as time goes on. I am 5 weeks post op and it seems like it is opening up more but like I described it to my family it feels like one of those hour glass timers with the liquid or food slowly making its way down. It is very uncomfortable, but it definitely has gotten better for me. I hope things get better for you, I know how hard it is and how uncomfortable it is, it is no fun! -

This topic has officially turned useless. If anyone else happens to go through something similar this is definitely not the topic to review for help. -

By the way to O.T.R., I was actually glad to see you show up to this particular forum and look forward to you getting some of these post under control, I was just a bit disappointed in some of your statements in that one post. No hard feelings! -

I had to respond to this because honestly, I am actually in shock by some of these statements. Granted it is possible, very possible to gain weight even with the sleeve when you eat or drink more calories then you should I believe everyone of us are fully aware of that, it is pretty much engrained in us during the whole process before surgery. However, 10,000 calories in a day with this surgery...REALLY??? I don't think so.....something is seriously wrong if you can get that many in, I think a little exaggeration went into effect there and it was unneccessary, she may have been drinking a little more protein then she should but nothing that was too outrageous...good lord people get a grip. Also, a surgeon making a mistake preposterous, hmmm...tell that to all the patients that have had equipment left in them after surgery, or had the wrong procedure performed on them, seriously man do you not watch the news or read articles, why is everyone trying to discredit her story? Why can't people just be supportive and just let her ask a question and then someone answer it. As some of this post actually had some information that is helpful to the OP, a lot of it is only opinion and really could have probably been kept out of the post because it really sounded like it was discrediting the OP, why do that. I just feel if you don't have an answer for her question, or do not want to give her words of encouragement I just don't see a reason to post! To the OP.....please, please ignore all the rude and unintelligable comments and know that there are those of us that are supportive and do feel awful that this is happening to you and hope you find the answers you are looking for and get the assistance you need to fix the problem. There actually some really good posts out here and they have provided some great information, especially about the protein, that is really good information, but the negative discrediting stuff....ignore it, who cares what they think. I think a lot of that is just for attention. So anyway, I would love to know the outcome if you even want to post it out here, or just send it to me privately. I wish you the best and pray you get the help you need as soon as possible. -

First I want to say, I am so sorry you are experiencing this difficult situation with your surgeon. Second, I am sorry you are now experiencing childish behavior on a site that is actually supposed to be a support forum. I truly hope things begin to turn in your favor soon. Lastly, what is wrong with some of you, she comes here asking for a little support and to see if anyone is or has experienced what she is going through and you attack her, really? How about if you don't have anything supportive to say or helpful in anyway you don't post. No one cares to listen to people have playground fights, or from another psting I witnessed an almost full fledge sexting party which was utterly ridiculous. I came to this site myself for support during a very scary and rewarding time in my life to learn from others going throgh the same thing I am. I didn't come here to read a bunch of useless, mindless, and self absorbed opinions of others, or for a date! Go to match.com if your lonely or take it offline. Also, if you just have to fight with someone on here, just exchange numbers and handle it like adults and leave the rest of us out of it. That was my soap box moment, I hope people are not offended and understand some of us just want to make friends and get al little support. -
