Not losing weight in first weeks after surgery
simplyjustme replied to simplyjustme's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've been working out on my elliptical, is walking better since I'm VSG patient? I agree sleep is a necessity. Sent from my SGH-M819N using the BariatricPal App -

Not losing weight in first weeks after surgery
simplyjustme replied to simplyjustme's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you for responding so quickly, I'll work harder at getting in the fluids & protein, getting in more calories will be really tough since I fill up so quickly and only eat about 3-4x a day. Sent from my SGH-M819N using the BariatricPal App -

Not losing weight in first weeks after surgery
simplyjustme posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had surgery on 5/3/16 & sadly, I haven't been losing weight since my surgery. It will be week 3 come Tuesday 5/24. And I'm starting to think my surgery was a failure in some way. My stats: 5'3" 26yrs old Starting weight 225 Surgery weight 208 5/4 Day after surgery 200 (I lost 8 pounds overnight) Current weight 198 From 5/4 till now (5/19) I've only lost 2 pounds(which happened after 10 days). I know everyone's body is different, but it seems impossible for me to not lose weight after surgery. I was expecting to lose weight each week, and then hit the 3 week stall like most people talk about. But instead I'm stalling the entire first 3 weeks. I'm eating about 300-450 calories a day. I'm just not hungry and I stop eating when I'm full. I'm having trouble getting in my 60-80g of Protein and I tend to get in 48-52 oz of fluids so I know I'm under. I'm trying to increase my protein & Fluid intake but it is difficult. Could this be why I'm not losing weight? Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

No you aren't alone. Your story is just like mine. Started at 225 then lost 17 pounds on the 2 week pre-opt diet. 208 day of surgery on 5/3 then the day after surgery 5/4 i was down to 200. Then i didn't lose anything till two days ago so far it's been a lost of 2 pounds. I hope it will continue at this rate of a pound a day. But I was at this stall for 10 days and frantically searching sites to see why I wasn't losing. My surgeon says I'm just fine & that some people don't lose weight at first but then their body's start dropping weight quickly. But i was expecting anywhere between .5-1 pound lost a day right after surgery. I'm hoping the stall is over for a while so i can hit a goal of 25 pounds down in the first month. Best of luck to you!

Post op liquid intake
simplyjustme replied to 1cutiejulie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had my surgery on 5/3, day after I could drink without getting full, every once and a while I would get a burp or tight pain in my stomach kinda felt like a hunger pain. But all fluids would stay down. Sent from my SGH-M819N using the BariatricPal App -
Self Payers in Florida
simplyjustme replied to purpleapple's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I did the self pay option for $10,500.00 Dr Beltre is an experienced surgeon. He's been doing this for over 10 years. You have to qualify for outpatient procedure, mainly be low risk. I was out patient and everything went just fine, 5'2 starting weight 225, surgery weight 208, 3 days post op 200. You are discharged with instructions and you are given Dr Beltre's number if you have any questions or concerns. I too was concerned about outpatient since most people mention hospital stays but I did my research found it's not a wrong way of doing it. Best of luck to you!
