Don't worry that is normal.. You will lose all that extra weight in a day or 2 max.. Believe me the more i ate the more weight i lost, and stalls are 100% normal especially starting week 5 .. Try to eat 5 meals a day.. I know its not easy, but try.. BUT, always keep in mind, low calorie, low fat and low sugar food.... Good luck

Cant find FB page. A_y_gad@yahoo.co.uk Thanx

Have you started soft foods. I was thinking the same when I was on liquids only but when I hit soft foods I was amazed how little I could eat. If you are eating a lot of soup you might have some water weight from sodium. I was June 10 and have lost 10, sx weight was 218. It depends on where you started too. I have the same issue now, im still in liquids phase, lost 26 lbs since Surgery on 11th but whenever i cheat and start eating very soft food, omg, i feel like i swallowed a rock!! Stall for a few days now..

2-3 tops p-ruck21... And in a week time you will probably be. Back to normal... Good luck

Yeah, i know... 20 lbs are fine... Its just that im too anxious i guess... Thanx for the support Who Dat

14 days post op now and down 19.8 lbs... But the scale hasn't changed for the past couple of days although i am watching my calorie intake... Any explanations??

Hey guys, Sleeved June 11th first week was a nightmare, much better now. I just have one issue of not knowing what "full" feels like!!!! Overate a couple of days ago and that hurt!!!!! No regrets and happy happy, down 20 lbs since surgery. Good lick all....

Movinon, I saw my dr. Today and he confirmed that everything is fine, and even told me to start my mashed/pureed in 10 days. I went crazy today and had a creamy dip... Tooo fatty for my stomach, i was sweating, tired, nauseous and i had to rest for an hour.. I am fine now, but the experience was not nice at all. Today is my first time to say it out loud, i do not regret it and so far it has been worthy. You hang in there, and i think it will be the best decision of your life.. A little tough at the early stages but it gets better.

Had some soup while my wife and daughter had some grilled chicken, i got jealous and ordered creamy dip, had a tsp.... Dumping syndrome SUCK!!!!! be careful guys... Not worth it i can you tell you that.

Hey Movinon, Still have the pains with any intake, but fluids are going in much easier. Lost 16.5 lbs so far and feeling better except for those pains. I talked to my dr. And will see him and will see him tomorrow morning. Thank you so much for your concern. How are you?

You can never imagine how much i am walking. My wife is always telling to take it easy. I am trying my best. Thank you for sharing- i am relieved now knowing that i am not the only one with those pains . I feel so much better now.... You are the best )))))))

Movinon, i do have a low grade fever but i was told that this is normal post op up to to 2 weeks, the pain is mainly where the kidneys are ... And is it normal to feel it with almost every sip then disappears, then maybe every meanwhile it hits constantly for a few hours then disappears again. I am sipping all day so i do not think it is dehydration Amandaseiders, i was a self pay too and my insurance will not cover anything related either.... Have no idea what to do... But i was told that if it is a leak, you will JUST know it is a leak... CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And worried ????????????????

I have no idea, I don't have much pain anymore but I just don't feel full. And I saw someone above mentioned eating too much causing leaks so now I am nervous that I am eating and drinking too much. This whole thing is scary. That is exactly what is making me nervous too.... Its horrifying.. Especially that i am having weird pain that just developed 3 days ago.. I feel shooting pain around my back, as if they are both kidneys .... I have no idea what is going on AND i am terrified, my appointment with my surgeon is still after the weekend...

Me too!!!! Im still on liquids, 9 days post op and literally i am sipping all day, either soup, water or milk, i feel pain but apparently i don't feel full!!! Or maybe i do and all this is craving!!! Im confused . The good thing is that i lost 14 lbs since surgery day. What do u think?

Hey Guys, I got sleeved on June 11th, i passed my leak test on the 12th and all was good and got discharged from the hospital. 3 days later i had pains and discomfort, my dr asked me to go back and had another leak test, but confirmed it was negative and that i was dehydrated, and they gave me saline solution via iv. A couple of days ago i felt some sort of shooting abdominal pain, i thought it was gas and went for a 40 mins walk but nothing happened. Since then i have been feeling the same pain with every sip!! I take the sip, i feel it going down, and once i feel it entering my stomach, shooting pain starts developing on both sides and starts circling back until the kidneys and then disappears where this whole scenario takes probably a couple of seconds, and that is with almost every sip. Sometimes this pain shoots without sipping but it doesn't find its way back to mu kidneys it just develops then disappears in a few minutes!!! Any body experiencing the same? And body knows what this is? Or if i shall be concerned?

I do have my gall-bladder.. The most important thing is to be sure its not a leak... Do you think it might be?

Yes yes yes.... I was sleeved on june 11th and sleeping has been an issue since.. Although my incisions are much better now, but still cant sleep on my stomach ...

100% normal.... I went through the same phase.. You wont be able to drink and a lot of pain. Pain will fade and you will start drinking normal in a couple more days. I wont lie to you there are time when you get some cravings, but i simply look at my progress chart when this happens and this does the trick. 8 days post op today and i am down 14 lbs since surgery day.. I look different man... Its a matter of time when you will LOVE the new you.

100% normal... It'll take you a few days Till you drink normally.. It took me 3 days, then in day 8 it started being slightly painful and im on day 9 now. Seeing my dr. After the weekend to and i think everything is fine. Lost 13 lbs and im happy.. Good luck with your journey and you just focus on your goal...

LovetoDive.... Dont force your self, i had this only once, and it killed me, its been 2 days that i cant even sip water!!!!!! Im living on Water and broth, Blah.... I know i lost 12 lbs in 8 days but still....

I was June 11th too ( you did mean June?) I too have had some head hunger, I can smell my families food (my husband and my kids are all range from extremely fit to just plain fit), and watching tv with food / restaurant commercials and show scenes where people are eating, it has been pure torture at times! But when I get to the point of do I really want eat that? I am so scared of what the food will do to my tummy that I just grab something from my list. Right now I am on full liquids ( will be until Day 14). I find that three things work, a sugar free popsicle - cause it feels solid and takes "work" to consume ( stop laughing boys!), Greek yogurt (it is dense and even more so if you mix in Protein powder), or a savory soup because it feels like dinner because it is not a sweet drink. It distracts me and I feel full on these things, it helps me make it through the day. In my instructions I am not limited on quantities just types of food and atleast two protein shakes a day. Also, I track my food on myfitnesspal.com and I am surprised to see that I am between 600-800 calories, that helps to know that I have eaten according to plan, even after an added yogurt or soup that I am still at 800 calories. Going for walks when it gets bad, calling/texting a friend/supporter, and, of course, reading bariatricpal help me too! Step away from the ketchup, talk to your Dr about moving to the next phase early if needed! I think if you put your mind to it you got this! Yup, i meant June.... Thank you very much SnohoGal98296, that is really supporting to know that in not alone, i will start getting my self busy...

Sleeved on July 11th, and dying from craving!!!!! I even had a little ketchup!!!! I know this is not right but what shall i do????????????????

Carrots, potatoes, asparagus, celery, Beans, zucchini and an onion.... My NUT said it might be the beans!!!! It hurts even to sip water, and its just killing me!!!!!

Mistake!!!!!! Yesterday i boiled veggies and blended them with a skinless chicken leg, strained the mix and added chicken broth. Had about 15 oz throughout the day.... Ive been insanely bloated since yesterday to the point that i cannot even sip water, its almost painful to do.. Don't want to force my self because i know overeating can cause leaks!!!! I am 7 days post op now and don't know what caused all this... Maybe its the chicken? Any suggestions?
