I was sleeved on May 29th. Had some BP issues before the surgery (what do you mean 210/118 isn't normal? :P) Feeling pretty good now. Right after the surgery was the worst - I felt like I had the flu, yuk. I haven't saddled up on the scale yet, but I know it's easier to do some of the things I had trouble with before. Follow up on Monday. Good luck to all the other May sleevers out there!

Think I am hitting the dreaded 3 week stall. Any early May sleevers gone through it yet? How long does it last on average? I am going to do some measurements soon and see if I am at least losing inches, trying to stay positive and not let it get to my head. :)

I am one month out and I stalled at 3 weeks ~ to my surprise m period came on this week so I think I was retaining Water. I gained a pound but it dropped. I know stalls are going to happen so I'm not stressed, just enjoying the journey and the inches that are falling off!!

Hello fellow May sleevers,

I was sleeved on May 24. I also had my gallbladder removed and a hiatal hernia repaired. I lost 23 lb pre-op. But I've gotten on the scale a few times, and I'm at a stall. My doctor says its because of my swollen abdomen. I feel healthier however. People say that I look smaller. I'm just anticipating on watching the scale go down. I'm still on my liquid diet. Just want the swelling to subside.

I was sleeved on May 14 and I have been at a stall for 2 weeks!! I have lost 14 lbs but nothing in the last 2 weeks. It is getting to me very badly. Can someone here help me understand what is happening and what I can do about it?

Well, all I can say is it's completely normal. If you search "stall" you will likely be overwhelmed with reading material for at least a week. I even read one of the ladies stalled for 4months.

OTRsleever is correct, stalls are normal. Are you on a post-op diet?

Sleeved on May 16, down 17 pounds...feels like it should be more, considering how little I eat, but I'm still happy. :-)

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
