Any November 14Th Sleevers?

[SMY011 0]

Hello Everyone,

I had my surgery on November 12th. I am very glad I found this page. It's nice to know I'm not the only one dealing with these issues. I AM NOT ALONE!! LOL! Sometimes it's hard to hear the advice of people who actually have no clue what you are going through. I'm still having pain in my right side. It's not gas, it's kind of like I've been punched in the stomach. Is anyone else having this pain still? I have also stalled. I lost 18 pound in 9 days and then 2 in the last two weeks. Been really discouraged but I have not been eating enough or getting in enough liquids. I feel like I can do either or not both. I really don't like eating now. It seems like such a chore. I guess this is a good thing.

Hi everyone. I too am a Nov. 14th sleever. I had the pain my left shoulder right after surgery' date=' but only for the first day. The doc said it was from the air they pumped in me during surgery. My biggest concern is that I was on liquids only for 2 wks. prior to surgery, and I lost 12 lbs., but it all came back after surgery, and today, I'm only down 13 lbs. - it was 3 wks. this past Wed. I know everyone is different, and it's really hard for me to get the Fluid and Protein all in every day. Maybe this is the reason I haven't lost more? I am walking everyday, and people are starting to notice the inches I've lost, but that scale is definitely not my friend.[/quote']

I am having same issue hardly hungry but I'm forcing myself to drink Water up to 48oz so far.

I can't help much with the right side pain, but I've gone off food too. It HAS become a chore. I hope that changes - not so that I get hungry, but can enjoy food.

They gave me tea in the hospital so I would imagine it is ok in moderation

I have noticed that I am very sensitive to the cold! Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if it's my body slowing down everything to conserve energy' date=' my weightloss has slowed down....[/quote']

I have noticed this too! I used to always be the person sweating, bare feet in the house, window open a crack. Now I'm freezing, wearing cardigans and slippers!!

I've been having one cup each morning. No problems, which I'm happy about because I missed it!!

The dreadful 3 week stall has arrived.....blahhhhhhh.....SUCKS! Trying not to stress about this because that will snowball into beginning bad habits....

Yup. Me too But I've gone off food, so I'm probably not eating enough. I really have to step it up a bit

Hey everybody...we are officially one month post-op how are you doing/feeling?

[kcaaunt 6]

I am feeling great. I have been stalled weight wise for a week but I feel good. I have still lost 19lbs even with the stall.

[ozeedonkee 145]

Feeling good. Have been cleared to do any exercise I like (bar weightlifting lol). I'm finding my tastebuds have changed again. Stuff that I was happy to eat at week 1/2 now doesn't taste so good. I am down 33 lbs since the 14th.

I'm feeling Wonderful! Down 21 lbs..I've been at a stall for a week and a half, I started Zumba this week and increased my liquids and Protein. What r u guys eating now? I'm on soft foods...I'm glad I now get a little variety . I'm still sticking to 500-600 calories a day

I'm feeling great! I'm down 40 pounds and am getting sooooo close to ONEDERLAND. I started working out this week and my stall ended - back to losing about 1/2 pound a day. Hoping it continues! Taking one month pics soon. Hope everyone else is doing good!
