I'm 5 weeks post op. I lost the first 20 pounds in a week and a half and then nada! Got to see my doc last week and he was concerned. I had to ditch the cheese and get moving. Anyhow, has anyone ever felt like you will be the exception to the sleeve not working and were destined to be fat forever? Since Friday I've really planned my meals and ramping up my Water. Keeping my calories at about 700 a day. please tell me there is more light coming soon!!!

It's certainly possible that you will be the one person to eat less than 800 calories a day and NOT lose weight... but I really doubt it!!! Stalls are normal - keep the faith!

Some people have "thought" they might be the exception to the rule, in other words not lose any weight. But it doesn't happen, that they don't lose weight

At this time you are eating around 700 calories a day - you are drinking more Water, sounds like everything you are doing is correct. ^_^

maybe you are not losing right now - that will change. things will get better, sooner than later

best wishes

kathy

you are not destined to be fat

I'm right there with ya. I lost 38 lbs in a little over three weeks and now nothing for the last three plus. Been around 850 calories a day and working out 2-3 times a week lightly. It has to break eventually but it is a little frustrating. Hang in there

      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.
