I’ve gained 34 in 2020 (Covid) and i obviously have not gotten a handle on the emotional eating. i had only lost 100 lbs with the sleeve (which was 50%) of the total I needed to loose to get to the ideal weight my dr suggested .. then it plateaued after 1.5 - 2 Yrs and dr said that’s great and that the honeymoon was over I needed to focus on maintaining from here. The support from the clinic hère ands after 2 years and I have not found any help or know what to do to get back on track since Covid started With working from home, the added stress of an unsupportive co-parent for my special needs son, im spinning and I’m worried to put on the rest .... Sorry for the rant.. I’m scared and I’m so worried

My 11month follow up last week....as much as it went well and was excited to have reached -100 1 month early... they bummed me out by telling me that this was it!!! If I want to loose more I would need bypass .... I’m not done yet .. I still have 70 lbs more to loose . What a day .. I left so bummed. (Was sleeves October 18,2017) Any thoughts anyone??

Sleeved October 2017 and was on a waiting list since 2013 .., being 42 I do wish I would have been able to do it sooner ... I think if everything I missed out on .. but I can’t dwell on that now as the past is the past!! I am grateful that I got it now. With 96 down and 80 to go I’m at a plateau and hope I can get back on track .. honeymoon is over and all is back to what it was !!! The carb cravings are back , I can eat more then I should, drinking with meal doesn’t hurt barely anymore... I’m panicked a bit as I fear to gain back what I worked so hard to loose. I’m back here for accountability and support .

I’m down 97 since surgery (oct 2017) still 80 to go ... I’ve hit a stall and am able to tolerate all and any foods .. honeymoon is over ... now the real hard work begins as all the carb cravings are back !! I am glad that since October 2017 I still was able to keep off pop , coffee, and cigarettes.... I can feel my stomach stretched back out as I noticed I can eat bigger portions and able to drink water with meal with minimal pain ( not good) .. I’m catching myself snacking and making excuses. So I’m back here after being away for 6 months looking for accountability and support.

I’m up to 32 oz of water on a good day

10/18/17 and down 62... just thought I’d check up and see how everyone is doing ... my 1st follow up was after 6 weeks and my 2nd follow up is March 31 ..hoping for good results.. I’m still struggling with getting more then 24 oz of water per day and needs to get active .. treadmill died 5 weeks post op and so has my motivation... I am glad to see everyone is doing well

How long since your surgery? Did you gradually reach that amount , if so how long did it take?

It’s your ability to drink to 80 oz I’m in awe with ... Im barely able to get 24 oz (. 6 weeks post-op) Congrats on your progress

Did you have any medical issues because you weren’t able to do the 64 oz? Prior to surgery and my whole life I was lucky to get 24oz and now at 6 weeks post-op I’m just starting to get 24oz and can’t and can’t even imagine being able drinking more like 64 oz !!! And it has me worried. How did you build up to it?

Wow 80 oz of water Congrats on your progress

Im 6 weeks out and can’t seem to get more then 24oz And the last couple days been feeling nauseous in the morning... having my first check up next week.

I’ve been nauseous and a bit light headed in the morning the last couple days ... because of this I can’t seem to start my water or food till later (presently on week 6 and only can get 24 oz of water per day...as I can only seem to start my water at noon or later Any suggestions?

October 18 2017 here !!

Any issues with nausea in the morning ?? For the last couple days I’m nauseous like « morning sickness «

Hello, I’m new here. I’m about to have surgery and my thoughts are all over the place. I’ve been waiting since 2013 and now that the date is here I’m scared. I feel blessed to be given this opportunity and fear to disappoint. I fear I won’t be able to keep up to what is needed of me ( malnutrition). Anyone out there have any thoughts on this .... I’m hoping to touch base with people who are also just starting out as well as people who have experience to share.

Congratulations!! Keep up the good work.

Thank you , much appreciated

How’s the new diet going? Any issues? Any issues getting your water in (2L)? Are you on stomach pills (acid reflux)?

Every day i take time to reflect on what I grateful for ..this has helped to overcome the negative thoughts. One day at a time ...

Yes you are correct.. they didn’t show concern, they just told me to keep trying ... As for dehydration... yup I know it!! Which is why I had called them. I seem to get more water in at night (8/16 oz) .. I feel nauseous when trying to get my water in the am or mid day ( not sure why) All I can do is think positive and keep trying !!!

Prior to surgery I was lucky if had 24oz of water per day... Never was a big water drinker. With only little sips it makes it hard to get my 24 oz in... warming the water does help. As for the waters mentioned above , I don’t think we have those here .. why would those be better ? Do they have vitamins too in them? J

I contacted my dr and they didn’t seem concerned... get just said to keep trying to get my water in . My first check up is on post-op week 6 (dec7th)

Im struggling with water intake too.. lucky if I get 16-20 oz. and for thé last week seem to struggle with food intake too... so far I’ve noticed that if I warm the water it doesn’t hurt as bad.. ( that’s how I get the 16/20oz) I’m averaging 50-55 g of protein per day.. (only due to shakes) as food is harder to eat this past week for some reason ... I was sleeved 18/oct/2017 and have lost 12 lbs since surgery...my 1 st follow up with the dr is on week 6 ( dec 7th).... Feeling a bit bummed and insecure

Update: just got back from hospital, appears the new pain Im having is possibly from a pulled muscle on my left side!!! I hope they are right and that it gets better soon. Stairs , sitting , getting up, reaching causes sharp pain below all my incisions.
