RDub, don't feel bad. I was sleeved 10/27 and I've only lost 20lbs. It's frustrating. Not sure what else I can do but go back to all fluids again. *sigh* I think this is the reason I don't come onto BP anymore. I guess this surgery isn't always successful for everyone. I'm proof.

Hi all! I've been on a 3 week plateau and i'm getting frustrated. Anyone else having the same problem? I am 8 weeks post up.

Thanks everyone!!!

@@amandasue, don't worry! It'll work, trust me. I had never been able to lose weight on ANY diet prior to surgery. I had the surgery and the weight is coming off steadily. I am so happy!!! You will have great results, trust me!

I have to wait an hour after eating to drink! It stinks!

Hi all!!! I'm doing great! Down 9.2 pounds, nausea is gone, able to eat a bit more than 3 TB at a time. Going to enjoy that 9 lbs loss cuz ill never see a loss that big again. Going to lose about 1 lb a week from this point on. Low and slow, I guess! Starting going to gym, I actually have energy to go! Its amazing! I can't wait for you all to get sleeved so you can join me in this happy place!! Hope everyone is doing well!! Tssiemer1, that stinks. Hope you're getting better! Molly, glad your psych evil went well! Bloomer, your getting there! It won't be long now!!

Bloomer, trust me, things FLY once they get insurance approval. The day I got the call that my ins was approved they scheduled me for surgery!! So hold on to your hat once ins approves you!! You'll be surprised at how quickly thongs move. I'm feeling pretty good. 9 days post surgery and I have no pain, but still have some nausea. It takes me forever to eat 3 TBS of food!! And half the time I don't want it all! Still getting used to all the changes. I've lost 9 pounds so far. I've been told that week 3-5 is when your weight loss really kicks in. So, I'm just playing the "weighting" game! Haha! Tssiemer, not sure how you slept with all that on!!

Wow. Sarah! That's awesome! Congrats!

Hi all! I 2as sleeved on 10/27 and right now I'm in phase 2, which is all liquids. I start phase 3 on sunday. That is soft, mushy proteins. Can't wait to get to phase 3, it'll be real food. Right now I'm living on water, hot tea, protein shakes, and high protein hot cocoa. I want to chew something! How is everyone doing on their diets??

@@perk4756, hope you're doing well!!!

@@perk4756, good luck! My first day was pretty horrible. Lots of pain and diladiud! It sucked! But today is much better cut im off dilaudid and on torodal and IV tylenol! Im actually functional today. Yay!! Good luck to everyone!!

Good luck to anyone on the 27th and 28th!!! 5am sees very far away. Can't wait to start my new "losing life" at 9 am!!!!

I also got a huge binder, which it sounds like most people already got. That's a lot of info to read in 6 days!

Does anyone else have to attend a Bari Boot Camp like I do? I've never heard of this in all the research I've done about VSG. I'm doing it the week before surgery. Anyone have any ideas of what it would entail?

Well, everyone, the boot camp was just about what to expect post op. Foley, drain, gas pain, expectation to be up walking, etc..... it was informative!

Good to know! I'll check it out!

@@betsy_1990, good to hear!! It'll get better everyday!

Molly, I do feel lucky I only have to do the liquid diet for a short period of time. Thanks for the well wishes!! 5 days!!!!! It seems like October has flown by!

I'm suppose to keep my sugar grams at 5 or less. All these yogurts you all are talking about that sound so wonderful all have way more than 5gm of sugar in them. I don't think ill be able to have any of them!

@judeajordan, glad to hear your doing well!!!

Bloomer, you're on your way! You can do it! Once you get in there and get put on your pre-op diet, you'll have incentive to lose weight. Cuz it's either lose weight or not have the surgery. We've all been there. I know I have. Keep your chin up and keep on keepin' on! You at least have an appt!!

Wow! You look great!!!

@@perk4756, I feel the same way!! But it's just around the corner!!

Molly, good luck! My psych eval was pretty easy. Just be yourself! I have my pre op appt THIS morning! I'm up early and nervous. But my new sleeved life is only 6 days away!!! Woo hoo!!

Oct 27th for me! Good luck everyone!
