I was sleeved 3/29. Down 34 lbs. went through a 3 week stall which was TOUGH! Just came out of the stall with 4 pounds lost. Oatmeal, Greek yogurt or egg for breakfast, string cheese snack, small piece of baked fish or protein shake for lunch, fruit or a little hummus for afternoon snack, and a bite of whatever protein the family has for dinner. Walking helps a lot!

7 weeks out and my second stall. My cycle is all messed up too, so i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not either. Hoping to get past this soon!! Good luck.....

Sleeved 3/29 - 30 pounds down, 6 weeks out. SW 287. These first few weeks were rough... still having trouble judging how much to eat and overeat at times which makes me feel sick. Felt like I had more restriction in the beginning than now, but I think its just my body not providing me the clues that it will in the future.

Yes my dr had to cut some of my pouch off while he was in there.

Thank god now I feel like its normal after reading these posts. I was sleeved march 27 and had a spot about a week later and now just started and its a doozy. And of course gained a couple of pounds water weight which I'm hoping will go away soon

I'm 5'3 and started at 287.5 week before surgery. I gained 18 lbs while in the hospital. Went to the one month appointment with the NP yesterday and have lost 28.5 lbs. NP was thrilled b/c I was lapband to sleeve revision and she said that weight loss was awesome b/c usually lapband to sleeve revisions lose slower. Labwork was perfect too. I'm hoping that this keeps up!

I'm 4 weeks out and had a dream last night that I ate an entire big fat juicy hamburger!

I'm a month out and had a dream about eating a big fat juicy cheeseburger last night!

You look great! Great job!

Surgery 3/27 Start 286 Current 266 5'3

I had my band unfolded a week before sleeve Surgery 3/27. Wound up with a lot of post op swelling and had to have a second surgery 2 days later. But everything worked out fine in the end.

I gained 18 lbs of fluid while I. The hospital & it came off in about a week and a half. Be patient it will come off eventually!

Sleeved 3/29 down 20lbs but no movement on the scale last 5-6 days. 75 G protein/day with 2 protein shakes. Still on restricted diet no meats yet. Walking 20-30 min every other day.

I had the band removed and the sleeve done at the same time on 3/27. Experienced the same issue with swelling and had to go back to surgery 2 days later. I'm 3 weeks tomorrow (count the 2nd surgery date, not the first) and still on soft/mushy but that's my dr's plan for all of his patients. Down 20 lbs.
