I stalled at 4.5 weeks I am almost 6 weeks. No movement. I'm about to throw the scale across the room! It's probably broken, lol. 5 miles a day of walking.

Your hunger could be coming from acid. Did your doctor prescribe an acid reducer or approve use of one? I find if I feel hunger, it's actually acid and once I take a Prilosec, that feeling goes away. On the Water front...I couldn't stand plain water in any form - hot, room temp or cold. I was a plain water drinker prior to surgery, so this came as a shock. Plain water had almost a gritty texture in my mouth. I got dehydrated. That was no fun. My doc suggested Vitamin Water Zero, Propel Zero or Powerade Zero (all zero calorie drinks). At first the Vitamin Water Zero did the trick, but the past few weeks, the taste just doesn't sit well, so I'm drinking Propel Zero. Best of luck to you!

Watch your calories....get them under 1200. Up your exercise and switch it up...if you do the same exercise all the time your body adapts and it's less effective. Throw in something completely new in your routine. Most of all...be patient, and stay the course. Stalls suck, but they're part of the game.

Are you still on this website? I was sleeved about 4 weeks ago in Billings. how are you doing now 1 year post op?

Hi there, I'm new on here, had my Sleeve Op 23rd Feb 2015 in the UK so 1 week post Op, I haven't lost any weight as yet, not 1lb, is thus normal?? ???????? I must also say reading all your messages, it seems the UK surgery/pre Op/food intake is so very different from in the US.

Hi I had my surgery in Sheffield, Thornbury Hospital. Pre op diet was 10 days milk and low fat yoghurt, was extremely hard but I didn't cheat!! Post Op fluids only for 2 days, then puréed diet for next 4 weeks, which I'm on now, I'm struggling to be honest with the purée as I'm quite a fussy eater. Whereabouts are you in the UK?

Looking for a sleeve mentor in Queen NY
kcinpa replied to Lexsan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Preoop jitters are normal. I almost backed out the day of the surgery. And I have had some ups and downs afterwords as well, but for the most part this has been great and is definitely working!! I was sleeved on 1/28 my weight was 450lbs and I just went for my first postop visit on 2/8 and I was down to 421lbs. My goal weight it 200lbs so I have awhile to go. I think the worst part for me was my mental hunger. I am finally getting over that, it only took a few weeks...... Lol. I am sure you will do fine, good luck!! :-) -
Nutritionist Visit FREAKED me out :-(
jandseakin replied to PinkBubble's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Liquid diet requirements vary greatly by Dr. My program had no liquid diet pre-op (2 weeks low-carb only) and only 1 week post-op before pureed stage. I had no problems. By the way, Unjury is available online only but it's worth it. -
Whew! I thought it was just me getting frustrated with my scale. I had my 2 week post op on Monday and got the green light to start full liquids. The doctor said that once my calorie intake increases that the weight will come off. I was only getting in 300-400 calories during my 2 week clear liquid stage so I guess we'll see how it goes. I feel like I'm constantly reminding myself to eat these days. Why couldn't that have happened years ago??

I just hope the once a week weigh in shows results I'm getting discouraged!!!
-
I sent my scale to my daughters house down the road. I weigh once a week only.

Preop liver reduction
DonRodolfo replied to bigjim77's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You're very welcome - I wish I had found that BEFORE I did my two week diet! This is a good place, we've been where you are. Don't be ashamed about slip-ups, no one here is perfect. From what you've said, I think you'll be fine but I'm hardly qualified on medical issues. Call your surgeon on Monday, tell them about the cheating to avoid any complications, and see what they say. -
Hi Jamie I would suggest focusing more on the way you look or the size clothing you want to wear versus the weight on the scale. You know all to well the struggles I've been having with weight GAIN now that I'm training hard for an upcoming event. I have put on 4 pounds the last few weeks and the only thing that's keeping me from jumping off a bridge is my size 8 jeans are getting baggy on me! Still, I will take the the lean muscle thats developing over the skinny fat I was before any day. I stood side by side next to a client last week and we look the same size. We are both 5'7" She weighs 123 and she was shocked when I told her I weighed 154. That's a 31 pound difference and we wear the same size clothes! I'm technically in maintenance now and it's really not any different than what I was doing before. Except I've decided to lay off the butterfingers this week to see if I can do it. Ha ha. That's for another post ????.

Best Advice I've recieved from this site
natnat919 replied to SeahawksFan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I tried the Vitamin patches based on reviews on here and it wasn't a good experience. I went from having all the energy in the world to feeling like the life had been sucked out of me. I kept trying them for 2 weeks and went back to the chewables and felt better immediately. Horrible experience for me -

ShrinkingPeach replied to SeahawksFan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The 3 week stall, if not fer here I would have panicked. Love the support here, and love helping others and giving ideas. Almost learn something every day and I def did my research before surgery. This board is amazing! -
Band to Sleeve patients lose less?
allycat1973 replied to kjd612's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had my band to sleeve revision on 8/28/14. I have only lost 22 lbs and have been stalled for the past 6 weeks. I am extremely frustrated. I consume 90-100 grams of protein, 60-80 carbs, and 1200-1300 calories. I have been walking 1-2 miles, several times a week. I am starting to feel like a failure, or that I am not doing something right. Original SW before band was 275. Lost down to 190. I was 220 when I had the revision done. My goal is 150. It is starting to feel like I have gone through this surgery for nothing. -
I was sleeved july 11. I've lost 35 lbs. I have been in a stall for a few weeks but am trying to stay positive. I'm working out 5-6 times a week. It's amazing how much easier it is without those extra 35 lbs!! My daily Breakfast is a Protein shake. I just can't get my protein in otherwise. I eat a lot of chicken breast but am trying all sorts of new recipes to make sure I don't get bored. Snacks are usually greek yogurt. Tuna is a go to for me as well. 0 My Multivitamin makes me feel nauseous for about 15 minutes afterward. Not fun but it's a small price to pay.

I lost 20 pounds in the first couple weeks, after that it has been 1 pound per week. This week I don't think I lost any and I started walking 4 days a week on the treadmill. My calorie count is around 750-900. I asked my doctor how many calories should I be taking in and she said anywhere from where I am at to around a 1000. If I go to 1200 I would be maintaining what I have. So it all depends on where you are at and how many calories you need to be taking in to lose, plus womens bodies are strange. We can look at food and gain sometimes.lol Honestly I can't wait for my fill this week. I feel the rumbles way to often now. Good luck to ya.

Its so interesting to see what different programs tell you what you can have. My program told me I absolutely cannot have peanut butter after surgery for at least a couple of months. I feel like it is all becoming so arbitrary. I take as much protein in as I can. I absolutely rely on Premier Protein Clear water. It is expensive but I drink two to three a day and that is 60 grams of protein right there.
