Got My Sleeve June 12Th.



Recommended Posts

Its now been a week and a half and I haven't stepped on a scale, but I feel like this isn't working for me. I lost 97 pounds pre op and now kind of feel like I expected so much more by this point. Is it normal to feel like I have failed already? I'm kind of depressed.

i haven't been sleeved yet, but from what I've read on this site, everyone is different with the speed in which they lose. But you can be sure, that you WILL lose the weight and you are HIGHLY unlikely to gain it back. So enjoy those thoughts.

Holy Moly... 97 pre op? You are ALREADY a success!! You are going to rock the sleeve! I was sleeved on the 12th as well. I lost 10.2 pounds so far. I get on the scale every morning. I am addicted. Yesterday I didn't lose anything and this morning I only lost the .2, but I am moving down. Maybe not as fast as some, but it is definitely going in the right direction.

I wouldn't worry about not losing anything. I don't see how you can't. :)

97 lbs is AMAZING Karen ! What a awesome start ! I was sleeved the 11th & I've lost a total of 34lbs . I went to see my surgeon today for follow up & he was very happy with that . Your doing really well ! I wouldn't worry :)

Congrats on your weight loss. I see my surgeon on Monday for a follow up. I'm an over achiever and super hard on myself. I hope i at least pull in a double didget loss.

Why do you feel like you failed if you haven't even stepped on scale? You could be down 10 or 20 more pounds. Wtg with the 97 so far that is awesome!

I was sleeved on the 13th and am in the same boat. I get up and get on the scales and am like, REALLY??? I have only lost about 12 lbs and it seems like after what little I am eating, it should be more than that. Anyway, I go to the dr on Monday and look forward to talking to the nutritionist and going over everything.

      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!
