four days tops. Then you will be wondering how am I going to drink and eat enough. I am 2 weeks post-op and still can only get in 3-400 cal a day. Unbeliveable isn't it. That was the amount that I ate at a fast food sandwich and then added the fries. I have lost 27 lbs already so it will get better keep your eye on the weight falling off.

Silly Question about tickers and weight loss
Donnainva replied to daningje's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I lost weight and if I'm gonna advertise how much I weigh/lost. it's going to make me look good. I would never have gone on such a strict diet as the liver shrinking one if I wasn't having the band done It's a part of the process. Did I mention that I lost weight? -

Welcome to the site Many of us have experienced a weight gain. Its great that you have reached out and working on getting it back down. Pouch reset is going back to liquids and progressing back out to real food stage. (It does not shrink your pouch) It may help you feel your restriction a bit. Its one way to help get back to healthy behaviors. Another option is to start at real food stage if you feel reset is too restrictive. Some choose to change diet plans Keto, paleo, vegetarian,IF, whole 30 etc. Only my opinion. Whatever diet you choose, The key is logging your food in an app and staying with in your weight loss calories/macros. Basics: Food plan, exercise, hydrate You know what to do but it may be difficult to get your head back in the game. A few threads on the site that may help. https://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/425354-the-importance-of-doing-the-head-work/?tab=comments#comment-4776743 https://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/428113-🍁-oct-2019-challenge-🍁/?tab=comments#comment-4815439

So afraid I am not going to be successful and do this right......
desert19 replied to dixiejuju's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
We have all felt that way. Follow your eating plan outlined by your dr and/or nutritionist. You will learn what works the best for you as you gain a little experience with this. It is a whole new way of life and you don't wake up from surgery knowing exactly what you need to do. I eventually learned what foods I lost weight best with, and those I didn't. You will be successful, keep telling yourself that, you can do it. -

I had mine out 8 months after my VSG. I continued to lose weight steadily after surgery. If you stay on plan, you should be fine.

I had mine out the same day I had VSG, September 26. I have lost 40 pounds since then. It won't affect your weight loss. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App -

I guess I should share my story of why I've chosen to have the gastric sleeve surgery. Well, after being told that I developed high blood pressure, severe sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis (all a result of my weight gain) I thought it was time to deal with this weight problem. To be honest, if I had not acquired these conditions I would have never given bariatric surgery a thought. I felt I looked good and healthy, so end of story. Oh, but I was deceiving myself. Apparently my body is screaming for help and help is exactly what I need. I know that bariatric surgery isn't the cure all. Exercise and a healthy diet are just as important. I've embraced this wholeheartedly. I just need that jump start to get me going on this journey to weight loss. I'm an elementary teacher and need as much energy as I can get to keep up with my little darlings. So the weight must come off as soon as possible. I want to take a Christian cruise and be healthy enough to move about when we arrive at the ports of the beautiful cities. That's my brief story for now. ????

I too quit smoking 7 years ago, that DID NOT help with weight, but I don't for one minute regret doing it. And oh by the way I just became a Grandma! Super awesome best thing ever! So I want to get my health back for my kids and grandchild as much as I want this for myself

It's tough to comment if we don't know what you are eating, how much you have to lose, if you are counting your fats and carbs....you could be losing slowly because you're breaking all of the smart rules, or you could be losing slowly because you never had a huge amount to lose, or your body might just lose slowly. That said...you are LOSING not gaining right?????

Onederland I've made it!!!
atgoalgal replied to Desiree1970's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congratulations! That is incredible news! What a great gift for the holidays. You mentioned that your weight loss is slow, but just perfect for you. What an important lesson. Those of us with bands usually have slow weight loss - especially if we compare ourselves to bypass patients, but we learn how to use the tool along the way, and can achieve, lasting sucess. (see my success story 3 1/2 years...). It's not about rapid weight loss, it's about achieving and maintaining a healty weight for the rest of our lives! You go girl!:thumbup: Sending holiday cheer your way. Gloria -

I am two weeks away from my sleeve surgery. I have been unfilled since June and had my band out July 14. I am not on a two week pre-op diet, just Clear liquids the day before AND today has been awful!! If I could find it in the house today I ATE it. I have been yo-yoing since June with my weight and finding it a struggle to not eat anything and everything waiting for my surgery day. I hope that I have made the right decision. I could not live with my band anymore and it just was not working for me. I only ever lost 50# over 5 years and the last two years have been a hell of puking and starving and then overeating on the days food actually went down. I have gained back 25# and my clothes barely fit anymore. I am so afraid of failure with the sleeve. I can and will eat right with the sleeve that is not my worry. My worry is I will Have similar problems with the sleeve. Is the sleeve the answer?? Any success stories/pep talks would be appreciated.

If you’re anything like me, you wouldn’t consider exercising your favorite pastime. In fact, some people downright hate exercising. However, exercising is a crucial part of a healthy lifestyle, and without it you definitely will not be able to lose weight. There are certain tips, however, for learning to love exercising, even if you truly hate it. First, try finding some exercises that you like to do. Of course, you should work out all of your body, but if you absolutely hate doing one kind of exercise, then look for another to take its place. You don’t have to do crunches to strengthen your core muscles. You don’t have to do lunges to work out your lower body. You don’t even have to run—you can replace it with cycling or swimming. Find the exercise you like to do and your workout will seem more enjoyable right away. You can also find other activities you like to do and make them work for your body. For example, if you like working on your garden, try doing some exercising surrounding raking or mow your yard by hand. If you enjoy the winter weather, you can try ice skating or sledding with friends. No matter what you like to do, you can find ways to get some exercise. Thanks to the introduction of the Wii and game like Dance Dance Revolution, you can even combine video games and exercise. Another great tip to liking exercise is to find a training partner. When you work out together, you can help one another stay motivated, even if you don’t absolutely love exercising. With a partner, you can have fun as well, trying things like tennis or challenging one another to meet certain goals. Trainers can also provide this for you, as well as show you new and fun exercises to help you avoid getting bored or feeling overwhelmed at the gym. Lastly, try taking some classes. Exercising classes are a great way to meet new people, learn new exercises, stay motivated, and above all, have fun. Most gyms offer low-cost or free exercise classes with membership or you can check out options at your local community center. Staying motivated if you hate exercising can be hard, but set goals and don’t quit. You need to exercise as well as diet if you really want to lose weight. Make exercise fun and it won’t seem like such a chore.

Congratulations on your weight loss. You look great! My favorite kind of exercise is swimming. I swim laps and do Water aerobics, water weights, etc. Exercising in the water is great because it's easy on the joints and the water provides lots of resistance.

Maybe the stress is causing the weight gain?.. Try to ease up a little. By now you know what is and what isn't good for your sleeve. Stay with the program, but learn to live it instead of stressing it. (does that make sense?) Just an idea. I have not been sleeved yet, so I could be off base. But I know from what I have been doing (since I changed my diet) the less I worry the better. I wish you luck and peace.
