😊 Yes, thank you…I started that a few days ago and will wait until the end of the week to weigh myself. I increased calories by 150 or so.

I'm struggling losing weight

Could be a stall. I lost 30 pounds in 2 weeks, then hit a stall that I am now on day 14 of. I gained a few pounds and then nothing. Not a single ounce lost. Nada. It's super frustrating, but it's normal and from what I'm seeing and reading, it's gonna eventually break. Just gotta keep working the plan and wait it out. -

I just read that consuming under 800 calories may contribute to a stall. I've been so busy tracking water and protein that I haven't been really monitoring calories but I'm sure I'm under. Anyone else been told this? -
if the Pepcid isn't doing the trick, let your clinic know. A lot of us are on PPI's (like omeprazole) the first 3-6 months after surgery.

Getting ready to have this surgery
Laurie Rohrer replied to Laurie Rohrer's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thanks im just worried about this surgery . I have been overweight for a long time and have tryed all kinds of diets and nothing has worked . This had caused me to have all kinds of health issues and I'm only 56 . I feel I'm to young to be having all these health issues . I try to get my 60 to 70 protein in a day. I drink shakes and the quest stuff . I watch what I'm eating . But alot of times when I drink a shake then I end of skipping a meal cause I'm not hungry . The nurse did give me heck for not eating 3 meals a day. I'm not a big eating . I'm good with one meal a day and drinking water . But they say that's a no no .

Quest chips = 19-20g Protein per bag (140 cal), Clear Premier Protein fruit punch = 20g protein (90 cal), Unjury pre-made Protein Shakes = 20g protein (110 cal). You just have to make sure you’re spacing out your protein enough so your body can actually absorb it all. I try to make sure I have a variety on hand with me - at least 3 per day. I need the variety so as to not get bored with it. Any other protein consumed is just a bonus. A serving of Fage 0% has 18g protein. I have to be intentional with my protein in order to get it in - we all do.

I have been averaging about 15lbs/month since surgery 12 weeks ago. Today for example, I restricted myself to only getting my protein bc I have been enjoying some various foods that I hadn’t been previously (small slice of veggie pizza, few French fries, bite of a sandwich, etc.). Yesterday I did a strong leg workout, too. Today I woke up and the scale was up .4 lbs and just said okay. Get to work. Have had 2 protein shakes and a packet of quest protein chips today. Met my goal. I’m not hungry - just drinking water, getting my vitamins / calcium - will maybe have a small salad or some fresh sweet peppers a little later. Fiber is always nice. This is mostly in response to you saying you skip meals. Just make sure you’re hitting your goals. This is a dreamy procedure when you stick to the plan! -
It only takes a couple of weeks to break sugar's hold (unlike nicotine!), so after two weeks of pre-op diet and the first 3 weeks post surgery I'd broken its hold. Right after surgery, my taste for sugar was gone and it still isn't really back 8 months on. Sweet things were suddenly horrid, it was like a switch had been flicked. This happens to quite a lot of us, so hopefully you'll get that add-on bonus too! The only sweet things I like now are fruit (apples, grapes and berries, mainly). Anything that contains processed sugar makes me feel sick if I have more than a small taste. Quite the change from someone who could make a batch of hokey pokey and then proceed to eat it over the course of a single day!

DaisyAndSunshine replied to Happy Stylist's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
3-4 weeks of stall. Majority of us have gone through it. When you're losing a huge amount of weight right after surgery (water weight) you're bound to stall for few weeks (as you regain water weight while lose fat/muscle simultaneously following weeks). Do watch the above shared video. Stalls will happen and you should be ready for it. Good Luck. -

Laurie Rohrer replied to Laurie Rohrer's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have been trying for about 6 months to lose and when I went to the dr I ask about this cause of all the health issues I have . I'm jus scared that I may not lose cause I have such trouble losing and I have a habit of skipping meals cause I'm not hungry and there saying your to eat 3 meals and snacks . I'm just worried cause that's alot of food . Sent from my SM-S908U using BariatricPal mobile app -
I dont think my plan is that far out with beef and honestly at 3 weeks out I have tried ground beef and did not have any trouble with it. Now that being said it was probably a teaspoon and a half only. I dont want to rock the boat lol

Crisscat replied to Laurie Rohrer's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Most do really well and since its a tool some have better weight loss than others. My Dr told me it is not uncommon for some to lose 30 lbs in the first month post op but again depends on the person and the circumstances. I am 3 weeks post op and have only lost 14 lbs. I struggle or I should say my body does with letting loose of the excess weight. I am however losing inches everywhere. so thats a positive. -
I'm struggling losing weight
Crisscat replied to Happy Stylist's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have not lost anything in a full 3 weeks!! Im so aggravated beyond measure! I lost I think 22 lbs fast before surgery. after surgery (May 3rd) by day 9 I was down another 14 lbs. Nothing since not a single pound. In fact I go back and forth with gain a pound then lose the pound. It is very frustrating to say the least. My team tells me I hit an early plateau after 9 days.. because I lost 36 lbs quickly. But dang lol 3 weeks out and still nothing. Now all that being said I cannot exercise much because I am pending a knee replacement as far as walking goes. I used to tell myself it was because of that but the 22 lbs I lost pre surgery I did not exercise either. So unfortunately for me I have to suck it up and trust the process and hope for the best at this point. I am very discouraged tho to say the least. It wears on me pretty heavily. I do notice clothes fitting loose and my boobs have took a big hit to my husbands dismay lol. Thighs and hips also are seeing inches coming off but that darn scale doesnt move lol -
Congratulations you will be ok I would say it is hard the first week but you got to keep pushing because I am only 1 week in but it is all worth it

Food Before and After Photos
ms.sss replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Back from vacay (where 90% of my intake consisted of over easy eggs and alcohol) and i finally get to enjoy a decent bowl of food: Smoked salmon, seaweed salad, horseradish aioli and a bit of Gorgonzola. #yum 320 calories, ate it all. P.S. I’ve always disliked the food served at All-Inclusive resorts down south, so I had very low expectations, which were met, lol. I actually packed 3 bags of those salad kits from Costco (to deal with my salad addiction), which were total life-savers! P.S.S Side-note NSV…i am the same weight I was when I left…BUT I haven’t pooped yet so i’m gonna guess once I get these 12 days 😳 of food out of my intestines, i may drop a few pounds. P.S.S.S I asked Mr. to make me a steak tonight cuz i miss meaty meat 🥩🤤 -
Thank you for answering. Went to Dr. it was an extract oil I had started taking. Dr. Said to take at night instead of morning. Relieved not associated with surgery. Other then this incident I have had great success with my surgery. Very happy I did it and worth every uncomfortable moment in the beginning. I am down 3 sizes, lost 75 pounds, feel so much better. Dr. said if I had surgery to get rid of excess skin I'd loose another 5-7 pounds. Due to limited movement from an injury, I am considering it, as I am unable to do the great workouts I use to do. I still see myself as an overweight, obese person. But everyone tells me how great I look. Went to three weddings recently, I look at the photos, cannot believe I see the person in the photo!! It's me and I look damm good!! Keep the faith and you will succeed!! Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes I lost five pounds my first week but not everyone does. Lots of things like inflammation and fluids can affect weight that early out. It is hard. It’s good that you are already starting to distinguish head hunger from actual hunger though. Are you allowed to have sugar free popsicles and jello. I had lots of those because I felt like I got to chew which helped.

I will thank you this is so much help did you loose the 1st week an I was asking was it hard for you as well because my body not hungry but my mind is.

Did I overdo it at the gym?

At my 2-week surgical follow-up with my surgeon, he cleared me to go back to the gym and begin lifting weights without restrictions. It was such a relief to go back!!! -
