April 2017 sleevers how's it going?
Hollygolightlyvsg replied to Sparklequeen's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved 4/21 - highest weight 224, SW 205 now 163 - I'm down from an 18/20 in jeans to a 10, down from 1x/2x in tops to a Medium... it's unreal most days. I have collar bones and hip bones, who the heck knew?! I do feel like I'm starting to see hair loss (in shower) but I am also hypothyroid so I can't tell if it's that or this. I have crazy curly thick hair so it's not noticeable to anyone but me when I am shedding like a dog. -

I was sleeved 4/21 and weighed 204.8 on surgery day. Today, 180. I haven't lost weight for three weeks now. I'm so frustrated and honestly kind of down in the dumps about it. -

Sleeved on 4/22 here [emoji7] -
I'm almost 3 weeks postop from VSG. My incisions seem to be healing just fine but occasionally I feel some pain under the one they used to remove the portion of stomach they cut. That incision (on my right) and it's friend on the left make it nearly impossible for me to sleep on my side still. What were some techniques that helped you sleep better? So, I'm just not sleeping well. I don't know if this is causing me to be so low energy, if it's the extreme decrease in calories, healing from surgery or a combo of the three. Also, I still feel like my abdomen is pretty bloated. Is that normal? It feels almost like it's distended, but at my 2 week postop the doc said it looked great. I guess I'm just ready to feel like myself again. 5'2" Preop 212 Surgery day 205 Today 188

Sleeping/discomfort/low energy

I'm on soft foods now, cottage cheese, refried beans, etc. I can start moist fish tomorrow. I don't feel gassy so much as just bloated, but it could totally be gas. I just feel like my stomach is harder feeling than normal if that makes sense? -

It is. I'm so very tired. And that is making me more irritable. I just want a good nights sleep and to feel like myself again.
