Yayyyy! Mine pains have finally lightened up(I hope). I feel good! I am up to walking a mile since surgery. I guess that is good since I'm only 8 days out from surgery. I'm a little bummed out though. I haven't lost ANY weight in the last 2 days! I don't know what to do. I'm only taking in aprox. 400 calories. Maybe I'm not giving it enough time. Idk...

Hi Jennifer I was sleeved one day before you. I recently had 3 days where I didn't lose a thing! It was si disheartening especially when your are only eating around 400 calories. But the weight has started falling off again so don't lose heart.

Wow' 23 lbs that is awesome! I think I'm doing pretty good emotionally. Sometimes I think, just what have I done! I wouldn't change it for

Nothing though. I'm still disappointed about not loosing as much as I has suspected I would. :( I think a lot of it is I'm not using the bathroom regular. Are u having any problems with that? How are you doing emotionally?

Emotionally has def been hard! I cry a lot, but I have good support that help a lot. I think to myself too "what did I do?" it gets better each day. At first I wasnt really using the restroom, but since I've been exercising it helped a lot!!

[*]Jen' date=' I was sleeved 4/4 and have lost 8lbs. I was really frustrated-as my cal intake has been around 400per day as well. My nut said that my body is in starvation mode and I actually need more Protein and calories. Hopefully week 2 or 3 I will get my BIG #. We should just relax a little and learn how to use our new tools! Are you getting in your 64 oz Water every day? That has been difficult for me due to nausea.

I'm still not getting all of my Water in! It's hard!! I have made it up to 56 oz.

Hi everyone!

I was sleeved on 4/3/2012!! I'm feeling discouraged though because I have stalled and I was wondering if this has happened to any of you!? I'm really worried. I'm walking about 2 miles 4 days out of the week already. I'm getting all my Protein in. Please any feedback would be so helpful!

Yes same happened to me. I had mine April 3 too! Dr said its normal right now we lose mostly muscle while our stomach heals. When healed you can intake more protein and gain muscle and lbs will start rolling off she said.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
