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.

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.

      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.
