Nope

Does anyone feel like they can eat anything at 5wks??? I was just sleeved 5wks ago on April 1st n apparently I can eat anything now n I get hungry more often then what I see on here :-( I don't think it's working for me cuz the scale doesn't move but ok my co-workers say they notice it (although they don't know) they think I'm just dieting really good. I'm scared imma be a failure ;-( I had pizza at 4wks it was only half a slice n this past wkend I had another party n I was able to eat a whole slice if I wanted to but I left the crust (they aren't huge slices but still) I see peeps on here eating half a cup of tuna or less n for lunch I have a cup is that normal? Scared n frustrated HELP PLEASE what r ur opinions???

At 31/2 wks into surgery

Ok I was sleeved on 4/1 n the pic to the left was taken easter sunday the nite before surgery on 3/31 the pic to the right taken today 4/26. But I've only lost 13 lbs post op and I'm kinda disappointed I thought by this time almost 4wks out I'd be at least 25lbs less post op can u guys tell the difference? I'm getting bummed that I haven't lost as much as most peeps on here

Thank you everyone for all the positive feedback I will try to work on my patience although its super hard to be patient lol. But it's true I didn't gain all this weight in a month so I shouldn't expect to lose so much in a month. I did forget to take measurements the day before surgery I love the slow n steady wins the race I will definitely keep that in mind Thank you all for ur support

Thank you!!! I totally wish it was more than 13lbs I weigh in tomorrow morning (weighing in once a week) but I'm sooo bummed bcuz I'm not successful as most peeps on here. I don't understand why for the last two wks i haven't lost instead I gained a pound last wk n I was feeling more down than ever

Ok I forgot to attach

Yes I'm getting freaked our too I can have 8oz of water in one gulp noo problem. I was sleeved 4/1 I'm 24 days out

I have a desk job n work 8-4:30, here's what I've been doing: Breakfast I start shortly after I start work about 8:15-30 and I usually have 6oz of the chobani Greek yogurt it takes me about 45 min to an hr to finish it. Then I have lunch at 11:30 but usually don't start eating till closer to noon so far I'm still on soft food n I'm lazy to prepare so I've been eating tuna n 4 crackers I eat about 2oz of tuna. I like tuna so I'm not tired of it yet. Then about 2or 3pm I have a snack like cottage cheese doubles 100 calories or string cheese. N dinner I have about 2oz of chicken in the can, or lentils, or ground turkey I still haven't gotten tired of soft foods yet I know there r more options but this is what's easier for me

Sleeved 4/1 so I'm 3 1/2 wks post op When I made my decision I was 278 Surgery day I was 248 Today I'm 237.5 (but I feel like I gained :-() I'm weigh my self every Saturday I've only lost about 10 lbs post op :-(

Hi all I'm from Chino but was sleeved at st. Joseph Hospital (right next to CHOC) my surgeon is Dr. Jeffery Johnsrud. I was sleeved on 4/1 my facility was excellent but I've hit stalls that r driving me nuts but although people have noticed Ive lost they don't know I've had surgery, I guess it shows but the scale doesn't

Thanks for posting this n for all the great responses n motivation. I was sleeved on 4/1 I will be 3wks post op tomorrow and I've stalled big time I weigh my self every sat morning n on 4/6 I had lost 11.5 lbs on sat 4/13 I only lost 1.5 lbs n yesterday 4/20 I gained a pound n I was feeling sooo bummed n depressed bcuz I'm really following my diet too. I also added my exercise in my routine last wk. I hope I get over this ASAP Thanks for all the responses

Laura like I said u r one lucky woman lol but yes fleets would be my choice too. Melody that's great next time ill look into these recommendations first prior to fleets but I'm glad fleets took all of 5min to work but I read its not best to use often I will be using miralax too

Oh boy that does not sound like fun but u r lucky u have a very helpful husband I cannot bare the though of someone manually helping me lol or even discuss it with anyone I know. I felt desperate and am happy for this site has many great people like u who r helpful n understanding

Thanks Laura for recommending the fleet enema I had no idea what it was n when I was reading the box at CVS I'm gonna admit I almost chickened out in buying it but I'm glad I didn't n I'm glad u posted about it otherwise I would have never known

Ok I had to give in and use fleet enema. It still hurt but at least it worked a lil. I'm not 100% but I sure do feel much better I bought fleet enema, Fiber n more miralax... Can I do fiber n miralax together? Chris I'm still on my soft foods diet on Monday I will be 3wks post op so I don't think I can add kashi golean crunch to my diet yet :-( so I will try the orange fiber stuff Butterfly ill try they squatting thing too Thanks for all your advice

Two more days :-( oh nooooooo I don't think I can handle 2 more days... I don't know what giving birth is (not yet hopefully once I reach my goal) but let me tell ya it's the worse pain Ive ever experienced :-( I wanna cry sooo much

Thanks I'm going to be 3 wks out on Monday n I've been like this for like 3-4 days now and I haven't even lost any weight :-( My doctors off is closed during the wkend but I'm going back to the drug store today or gonna try more miralax I'm desperate at this point Oh n I drink well over my 64 oz of water a day but I don't know what's going on :-(

How long after taking miralax will it take into effect I took 3 table spoons of miralax n 3 through out the day n still uncomfortable n in pain :-( I'm desperate

I was sleeved on 4/1 n I'm not hungry at all I have to remember to eat...

Thank God!!! Glad u r ok :-) now on your way to the new lifestyle hurray for us
