May he weird but about 7 weeks out, down 33lbs and would love to see some charts. I feel like I'd love to have an idea of the ups, downs and stalls people went through to encourage me on what is normal!

I had my Sleeve done on 3/16/2011 in 5 days I will be 12 weeks out. My weight came down nicely and fast! Yay! So now the issue becomes IM STUCK between 231 (morning) and 234 (by night). My Boyfriend brought a scale in the house and I cant keep off of it. I have weighed myself everyday morning noon and night from mid May till now and I am just not loosing as fast as I was. Is my body platouing?? I have started excersize Water aerobics, just started eating wheat bread again, and eating meat for Protein intake. I just cant digest Protein shakes so I dont drink them, I do drink 100% Cranberry juice all day, water make me hungry...What am I doing wrong? Am I being impatient?? Am I on the right track...Help

I'd start tracking all your calories and fat and protein on a site like sparkpeople. You may find that you aren't getting enough protein. Also, click on my ticker and you'll see my weight loss pattern. It's very stairstep-I'll be the same weight for a week or two then drop 4-5 lbs in a couple days!

Sleeve June 8th, son'a graduation June 27
liannatx replied to allyray's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Cross your fingers ladies, and hope you have an easy recovery! I was able to reach my Protein and Water goals by day 3... then each day after was just way better. I was back to work in one week. I had some lingering soreness and tiredness, but otherwise felt great. It is hard to predict how anyone will recover... I figured I would bounce back fast because I have after other surgeries. -
Sleeve June 8th, son'a graduation June 27
mugs replied to allyray's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am wondering the same thing. My surgery is June 8 and my son is graduating university on June 15th. My problem is that the ceremony is 2 hours away and my son needs to be there 2 hours before it starts. The ceremony is for several programs and could last 3-4 hours. That could mean it will be a 10 hour day away from home one week after surgery. My surgery was booked for several months before we knew the graduation date and cannot be changed now as it took a lot of planning to get time off work. -
March 10th will be 2 months for me and I've already experienced 3 pretty significant stalls. I don't recommend this but I can tell you what worked for me. I actually ate MORE and within a day or so, the scale started to move again. I didn't eat unhealthy foods because that would be defeating in the purpose but I ate MORE Protein and lean meat, a little bit more salad, Beans, etc and it has gotten me out of my stalls every time. I got the idea from another post on here where she said during stalls she would eat 5 meals a day instead of 3. I don't know why it works, but apparently there's something to it. Once I'm past the stall, I go back to eating normally.

It has happened to me as well - stalled for about 2 weeks and I am almost 3 months out. It is very discouraging, but it starts back again. I was even still exercising. Have lost 55 since surgery 9 December and a total of 78 from preop. Hang in there!

Are you allowed other liquids? I have been doing 2-3 shakes and mixing GENEPRO in broth at dinner. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App

I am on day 5 of my pre-op diet. My surgery is on Thursday. I hated it for the first 3 days. Around day 4 I found it got easier. Hang in there! Remember the goal

Getting things "moving" - a delicate ?
misspeacock replied to Karlzmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
honestly i'm 3 weeks out and i've yet to be "normal". i've taken a stool softener once in a while, but with limited results. i'm getting more used to it, unless it becomes uncomfortable, but i know it isn't hurting me. -
when should I have my IUD removed?

I would be ready as soon as you get it out. I had mine out in May and conceived less than a week later. Freaky fast! -
Thanksgiving? I’ll be 3 weeks post op....TORTURE!
CJ Sunshine replied to GeTnBackuP's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
What about catering it? At five weeks post-op, I still have no interest in food, so being around it doesn't actually bother me. But I still don't like eating in restaurants yet...however, if your family wanted to eat out, you could go along and just get some butternut squash soup or something like that. I'm probably going to cook Thanksgiving dinner this year, but it will be simpler. But I should be able to eat most of the food, in teeny tiny portions, by then. By Christmas, you will at least be able to eat some of the food, so don't worry about that one... -
Are Flintstones complete really good enough? Critic my vitamin list please
Vidalia replied to mikeross's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take two Vitafusion multi gummies and 1 Flintstone multi with iron per day. I just had my 3 month labs done and they were perfect. You may want to also try the Vitafusion multi gummies. They are very tolerable. You can get a big bottle at Sams for good price. -
Hi Guys, I'm 19 days Post -OP had some complications with dehydration and was admitted after the second week. Spent another week in the hospital getting fluids. I had a follow up appointment yesterday and was put on puréed foods. OMG!! My fist stop was Taco Bell for some refried beans. As soon as I ate it I threw up none stop. I tired different puréed foods but I can't keep anything down. So I'm back on liquids the only thing that seems to agree with me right now. I was really looking forward to starting puréed foods but it's been a nightmare all I do it vomit until I'm throwing up bile. My doctor did explain I have a tight sleeve considering my stomach was already pretty small. Has anyone struggled with this will I ever be able to eat solids , soaps or anything anymore? I'm scared.

I had a huge bald spot the size of a silver dollar on the left side of my head. Balder than a baby's azz! It started at maybe 4-5 months after my surgery. I started taking Biotin along with a chewable multi-vitamin, and it has grown back plus some, and my nails look great! It takes maybe 4-6 weeks to kick in, but the Biotin works wonders. Good luck!

Going 6 weeks Post Op- plateauing?
wcn1970 replied to ktweet168's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Carbs are something you have to go without to get over. Each day you will feel that you need them less and less. Good carbs in limitations can be a good curve. Stalls are part of the game though. I couldn't count all my stalls. Some only a week long, some several weeks long. I just came off a 2 week stall and lost almost 5lbs over night. I am now 11 lbs from losing 100 lbs in under 6 months. Keep at it. Even when you don't see the scale move keep track of body measurements and appearance. I guarantee you will notice beneficial changes! -
Can't do fake sugars - HELP!!!
Jachut replied to beadecked's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I eat moderate amounts of real sugar - I dont do SF anything really, apart from maybe 2 or 3 diet cokes a year. I hate the taste of artificial sweetener and believe its far worse for you than sugar is. so........ I dont make sugary foods the basis of my diet. They're treats. You're better off training your palate to not need everything sweet than consuming loads of artificial sweetener in everything. -
It's flying by can't wait I hope the approval is fast

Hi, I was banded with the Realise band on Aug 13, 2008. I was thrilled to see a thread here for this band. I was worried I was on the wrong site. I go for my first fill next week. I'm a little nervous, but excited. I am loosing a little right now, but am feeling hunger more than I thought I should. I am trying hard not to snack, but it's really hard!! Well, wish me luck!!

Hi all :thumbup: 70 days to go, and after the last 7, they can't go fast enough. This past week it is confirmed that i have diabetes, hypertension and severe sleep apnoea. Not bad for someone that just thought they had a weight problem. I think tho, that i am very fortunate to have no had these diseases until the last while, and they they have been caught early on it seems. My lapband operation really can't come quickly enough from a health perspective for me. My G.P. and surgeon are not so concerned, assuring me these problems will almost certainly disappear once i have been banded and lost weight. All the medications i need are in place and i feel ok. I am not sure what i expected, but only the CPAP machine for the sleep apnoea bothers me. I am just trialling it, for this week and the nice feller will help me with my concerns after that. Speaking of which, it's late and i am back at work in the morning. So best, i go and get the gear on and try and get some rest. Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for being there. Cya soon

I took 5 weeks. I didn't want to be around ppl with colds and other nasties that I could catch. I also take the train and bus to work and didn't want to risk getting bumped into. The first 2 weeks are exhausting. I was always dizzy and tired and remembering to drink all day and take my Protein and pills would have been difficult at work. I work in an office and sit all day too but even my dr said to stay home. It's just safer. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
