Sleeved On The 12Th And Not Losing.. Argh!



Recommended Posts

I know that it happens, it is just so darn frustrating! I was sleeved on the 12th. I lost 10 pounds the first week. I haven't lost anything since 6/18. I hate it! I was so excited for those first 10 pounds. I have read a lot of info on here and know that it happens. It really does make me fearful that the weight loss won't happen.

Why does our bodies have to go thru an adjustment period?

Anyone out there stop losing early on then it picks up and you end up doing awesome?

That's 10 lbs. in 12 days. I think that's great. The loss will happen, don't worry. In general, it is healthier to lose slower and I wouldn't mind it because then people will just think that I am naturally loosing the weight. I noticed on your profile your insurance approved after an appeal. If you don't mind me asking, please let me know about how long it took from submitted the original claim, to hearing it was denied and then the appeal to the approval. I am so worried I will be denied.

I was sleeved on the 13th and I have lost only 6 pounds. I dont think it is realistic to lose 10 pounds a week. Rather, average out how much you lose per month because our body fluxuates. But I hear you, I thought I would have lost more but at least I havnt gained!

I'm 4 months out and have lost 55 lbs..... It goes good for a couple of weeks and then it stops for a couple of weeks... such a journey.... just be patient .... stay true to your diet and it will happen.

      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.
