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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
