March Sleevers..are You Happy W/your Progress?



Recommended Posts

Hi! It seems to defy all logic when we consume 400 calories and do not lose weight. It's crazy. At six weeks I have lost a total of 23 pounds since surgery. I wish it was a whole helluva lot more' date=' but it's 23 pounds. Couple that with preop weight loss and I'm doin okay I guess.[/quote']

It's very frustrating, I was told that at 6 weeks I could start exercising , hopefully that helps with a quicker weightless, even if it's only 1-2 lbs a week! It's still something and would feel better then a stall!

Increase your calories. I was at a stall for over three weeks. I am 6 weeks out now. Increased calories and am losing now :)... You are in starvation mode.

I was sleeved March 12th and have lost about 30 lbs. I have been recording my calorie intake and I am only getting up to about 400 calories daily, I'm guessing that's why I'm not losing anymore weight :/ tomorrow I have my 6wk post op, hoping the doc and nut help me figure this out.

It is very frustrating to be eating such low amounts of food and calories yet come to a complete stall on the scales but I found this information the other day and really found it helpful. I hope it will help all of you too.

5 weeks post op and haven't lost any weight since my pre-op diet.. I guess the doc was serious when he said some people will lose and some people won't.. Damn I coulda had a v8 along with the $8000 it cost me...(not satisfied)

Same happened to me. Finally at week 6 I started losing after I was able to increase my calories. Try 800-1000 daily. Use fitness pal if you can online

Still chugging along here. Lost six pounds last week and this week .2. I've done everything the same, so... I'm trying to adjust to my body. I HATE my apron! The arms r getting a bit flabbier too. I've been doing weight training and walk/jog on the treadmill. I'm anxious to get to the 170s, it's my next mini goal. Currently I'm 182.2. Surgery weight 212. Starting weight 235. Sleeved March 12th.

Hello, I had horrible progress my second month, I don't know if it was a natural stall, but I did up my Protein to around 100 gm, got my Water up to around 55 oz and started going to the gym and now I am pleased with my progress.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
