So im 6 weeks out from surgery and ive only lost 40 lbs! Is this a low weight loss for 6 weeks??? I was hoping to have finally hit 50lbs or over by now. Also my weight keeps shifting between 2 and 3 lbs for the past week, is this normal???

Sleeved 4/15 ... tomorrow will be 7 weeks and I am down 40lbs total. My BMI has gone from 47.8 to a 41.8 ... couldn't be happier with my decision. Though I miss eating the way I use to, I much rather feel good and healthy :-)

Monday was 2 weeks since my surgery was performed. I ended up getting my period twice within two weeks. Has this happened to anyone else? Why is my body doing this?

I'm 2 weeks post op and I feel I have fallen into a mighty depression. Sometimes I just cry and cry without being able to stop. Has any one else dealt with these hormonal changes?

Thank you everyone for their posts! This has been very hard to deal with and I'm trying my best to hang in there

I was sleeved April 15th at about 2pm. The first couple days after surgery I spend sleeping but once day 3 hit I wanted to walk and ride to every where but the doctor suggested only walking around and no steps until my first post op visit. I now see why because without my vitamins or protein shakes I have gotten very weak. My doctor wanted STRICTLY CLEAR LIQUIDS. I don't regret the pain or weird feeling in my stomach because 6 days later I'm down 21.5lbs!! :-) now can anyone tell me how many staples are on each incision and if they hurt to remove the bandages and staples?

How was your staple removal? How many did you have?

How did you weigh the sugar free Popsicles?

I'm in Sourhern New Jersey. I haven't been cleared for Protein drinks yet so I'm getting none in this week until I'm cleared on Tuesday. I've been doing chicken broth and it's been amazing it actually helps me feel full for a while

Erica I believe you and I have the same sleeve anniversary! I was sleeved on the 15th also and I'm still feeling the pain and discomfort. I learned jello and water fill me up quick I have t been to focused on the protein yet as I will be when I have my post op appointment on Tuesday.
