17 Days Out...

[courtney333 35]

M 17 days post op! From previous posts I stated I was at a standstill and a little discouraged, I haven't got on the scale but once in 4 days but man it's been hard! Still no lbs down but I'm bring patient! You know I see a lot of patients have suffered from nausea and I haven't got sick one time! It seems most do - Im not complaining I just wondered what was different - why they did ? Not eating right? Too much?? Not enough?

Then... I don't want to stretch my stomach out! I am only eating 400-540 calories a day and 50 oz of Water - could you? I don't want too!

Just relax, you will lose all you need to. Worrying won't make you lose any faster! Just start enjoying the newer you and don't obsess about the scale. I found it much more exciting to try on clothes and feel them getting looser and looser than seeing numbers on a scale drop then plateau, then drop or rise temporarily. It will work for you, just protect your new little tummy and it will serve you well!

all people are different in there experiences both pre-op & post op. I'm glad you are not nautious or seem to be having other problems.

don't ever compare yourself to others concerning anything, especially your weight. Some people lose weight quickly, others not as fast. but you you, and live with the happiness of enjoying your sleeve at whatever pace.

at this early stage, liquids are very important. They always will be. Drinking 50 oz. this early in the game is absolutely terrific. Drinking plenty of Water is always essential

really too early to be so concerned about calories.

congrats on your sleeve
