i got my sleeve done April 23rd weighing 280 pounds. About a week later I dropped down to 262-267 ( depending on the scale I used) Tomorrow now makes me 15 days post op and my weight will not budge from that number. I even been working out here and there for 30 -40 min in hoping to get the weight loss going. I'm drinking 1-2 bottles a day and I'm aiming for four a day as I heal. I'm very disappointed and don't know if I should call my dr about this? Ive been eating pureed food an its all been vegetables so far, along with protein shakes, yogurts and no sugar pudding. Its all allowed by my dr so I don't understand why I'm already at a plateau only a week out, HELP!!!

I recently had my sleeve done about a week ago and am seriously regretting it!!! I feel like I have completely gave up my control of my eating habits and I've been feeling very sad, upset and down lately, I recently cried a lot because I just don't know why I got my self into this. I really do believe that since experiencing this gastric sleeve surgery so far that I could have lost the weight naturally. Im just very sad it has come to this I am missing my ability to control what I eat. What's making me sad the most is that I can not control what or how I eat with this surgery, and this 'control' thing I believe has a deeper meaning from my childhood. so it has been real tough for me give this control up. I don't think gastric sleeve is reversible ? But if it was I would totally do it. I'm in my early twenties and just am very upset about my decision in doing this. Is there anyway to make the new stomach stretch once I'm able to eat again? or some how to undue it all, if anyone knows please comment. I'm not interested in a therapist. An yes I know the whole point of this surgery was to limit my food intake, but because that control of what I eat and how much was taken from me I don't believe I will be successful. Going thru this surgery I would have rather tried harder dieting naturally with a cheat day once a month please help!

how did they stretch it out?? I would like to know because in weird way it gives me peace of mind knowing the option is there and that I haven't lost all control

I get bv infection's very easily even over stress and I just got one. I have a sleeve surgery coming up in a couple of days and would like to know if taking vitamin d3 is okay? it usually clears it up for me I know there are some meds like blood thinners that the patience are supposed to stop 7-10 days before surgery but I was wondering if vitamin d3 is also included ? thanks

I was originally supposed to get my surgery about 4 months ago and ended up canceling it because I did not know if I could deal with this major life style change. I have made an app and rescheduled about three times already, when I was only days away I would chicken out and postpone it once again. My dr told me the most recent time that I saw him that I could no longer reschedule my surgery and that if I did he would not be able to perform it on me. My surgery us once again days away! an here I am wanting to postpone/ cancel it, why? because I have yet to fully get my over eating hobbits under control. I am very much addicted to food an been craving it like crazy. Any opinions of wat I should do? Also I am supposed to be on my two week post op diet of two shakes a day and a sensible dinner. I have completely wasted the first week of this diet because I did not follow it at all, I actually over ate. I have one week left to do this diet and so far I have been sticking to it, do u think because I am following the diet for one week instead of two it can cause complications? My surgeon is very direct and harsh and just has a dominating/ intimidating personality, not willing to hear about my struggles. That's why I do not feel comfortable speaking to him unfortunately. I'm 21 years old and am very stressed any help please

u see it as being irresponsible, jerking health care providers and being annoying but reality is I'm going through my own issues, stress and doubts. Not to mention thinking about my future with this major surgery um ...so yes I much rather a provider do some paper work then me getting a major surgery that can ultimately effect me negatively. That's why they getting paid to begin with right.
