Need encouragement - slow weight loss, hungry all the time.
Syaniya replied to Vanlando's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes, just stick with it. I am almost 3 months out, sleeved on 3/31 and have just barely lost 30 lbs. since beong sleeved. I also can eat about a cup of food without any issue. I am definitely a slower loser, but good thing is I havent gained. So as long as I keep losing, I'm okay with a slow loss. Stick with your plan and you will see results. Everyone is different, so its very hard to compare your journey to another. Just wanted you to know you're not alone. Also, it seems as if Im in stalls every couple weeks Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app -
Good Luck this week. Also, its definitely not the easy way out. Making all these changes are a lot of hard work! [emoji4] Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app

2.5 months post op 40lbs down
Syaniya replied to gabdizzle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am about 2 and a half monts post op and am only down about 30 lbs. I also stall constantly. On surgery date I was 227 on 3/31, today am 200.4, was as low as 198.4 a few days ago, but fluctuate constantly up and down by a pound or two. The one thing I lack is water, have never been a big water drinker and still aint. Good luck on your journey!!! Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app -
On the putside of your belly, not inside. Every surgron doffers, mine only used a glue and steri strips, but I can imagince if I was a lot bigger they would have used staples to ensure it holds. Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app

I just wanted to say that you just may be a slower loserthan most. I also am a slower loser and at two and a half months out have just lost about 28 lb today I hit 198 on the scale this morning, so I am finally in Onderland. I am slow but I am losing and I have had multiple stalls along the way where I go up and down a pound or two for up to two weeks at a time it is frustrating, but I have just been sticking with it and steadily I have seen the pounds drop, slower than most, but they are still dropping. Also, do not compare yourself to somebody who is a higher weight than you as they will most likely lose a lot faster than you will. Good luck and stick with your plan you will see the pounds come off eventually. Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app

Exactly 100lbs down from surgery date! (10 months post-op with pics)
Syaniya replied to elliekay's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Go on Play store on your phine there are tons of free apps to use. I use "monitor your weight" I like it because of the graph and the way it tracks your progress. Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app -

Not loosing weight after one point !
Syaniya replied to Neossa's topic in Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery Forum
Do not worry. I lost about 12 or 13 lbs in the 1st 9 days after surgery, then stayed the same (up and down a pound or two) for almost 3 weeks. I get required protein in every day, not always enough water though. Today, I am about 10 weeks out from surgery (sleeved on 3/31) and got on the scale this morning and was 199.8 [emoji4] I am definitely a slower loser than most, but on surgery day was 227 so averaging about 2-3 lbs. a week. Depending on where you started and your exercise and meal plan is why so many people vary. Some surgeons give patients a couple weeks of liquids, I went home from the hospital on soft foods. Follow your plan and you will lose. Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app -

Panniculectomy?

Good Luck tomorrow!!! Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app -
I had vsg on 3/31 and on surgery day was 227 today I am at 202 [emoji20] Sometimes I feel a little discouraged, but then remember everyone is different and everyones plan is different. My surgeons plan has us on soft foods within 2 day. Liquids are only in the hospital, I left the hospital eating greek yogurt, cottage cheese and stuff like that. The one thing I am hoping for is that since weight loss is slower but steady, maybe I wont lose much hair, lol. Just follow your dr's plan and let your tool do it's work. Just think in 6 months if you lose steadily you will be down at least 50 lbs. Dont sweat the stalls either, I had an almost 3 week stall about 9 days after surgery, that was a little torture on the mind, but it also passed. Good Luck on your journey!!

Incision Question: When to stop applying dressings
Syaniya replied to AK_Bookworm's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I showered in the hospital the day after surgery. I didnt have stitches outsdie, just glue wirh strips covering them. I was just not allowed to submerge in water for 6 weeks, no baths or pools. Best bet, is to email or call your doctor as every surgeon is different. Congrats!!!!I Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app -
Just keep looking forward, there is light at the end of the tunnel it may just be hard to see right now, but you will get there. I will keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery. Sent from my SM-N920V using BariatricPal mobile app
