I was sleeved on Nov 26. Weigh in at hospital= 210lbs. On 12/4 I weigh 203lbs. I am really not worried about the weight loss. I know it will happen. I am trying to change my way of thinking! A lick of a potato chip won't hurt. Thoughts like that slip in from no where. I even found myself trying to get my family to eat what I am craving. CRAZY! I am having a difficult time with the Protein Shakes. What I loved before surgery, now upsets my stomach. Even the mandatory daily meds upset my stomach. The nausea pills..same. They are too sweet! I now have unflavored Protein Powder and it is a little easier to take. I want to eat! So, that is where I am at. I have read it gets better and easier. That is what I am living for..moment by moment!

Weight 298

Pre op 284

Week 1: 278

Sleeve date 11/26

So I am 1 week post op. I went in for my appt today and I had only been down 6 lbs. I still feel a bit swollen. But non the less still disappointed. I came home and it was eating me up then I realized Ii must have weighed more because of the holiday weekend. Not that I am proud but I look at my discharge papers and sure enough I weighed 288 that morning.

So really my pre op was 288. So I lost 10 lbs in one week.

I'm doing thicker liquids this week, but I am constantly thinking of food. Please tell me this goes away.

I was sleeved on nov 28, but I am not going to weigh until next Wednesday! Your big numbers have made me excited!

Start 375

Pre op lost 11

Surgery I was at 364. I hope to lose 20 pounds or so these first two weeks. I still feel swollen and puffy from surgery still and I'm afraid of being disappointed if I got in the scale now!

It's been two and half weeks since I was sleeved. I am constantly throwing up liquids and feeling like I always want to vomit. I feel helpless bc the doctor keep giving me medicine that temporarily work. I'm not getting any answers, any suggestions?

Is there a nutritionist you could see? I found I was able to tol liquids better after I slowed down in amount of time to drink. What I thought were sips were actually to much. I went to half sips. I had to change protien powder to unflavored. Helped some. I went through kaiser and they have a whole center of Dr's and nutritionists and PA's who follow you. If you have kaiser then chek there. Good luck. Hang in there. One day at a time motto works for me.

[syrup79 8]

I was sleeved 11/21 and I lost 10 lbs. post op then 11 lbs in this past 2 weeks. Having horrible heart burn though. I still have some tenderness to the left of my belly button but the surgeon told me today its because that is the side the stomach was removed from. Just started pureed foods today! Cream of wheat has never been so good!

[cnunez77 29]

I was sleeved on 11/13 and have lost 26lbs so far i am still in pain but getting better daily. I have been walking but only like 20-30 mins a day looking forward to really work out once I am fully recovered

I was sleeved 11/28 so I am one week post op now. Besides the stomach virus I got the day after that sent me back to the hospital after discharge for an iv, I think it's going well. I have trouble getting enough fluids in like ALOT of people but try to sip sip all the time. I'm eating liquidy cream of wheat and some Tomato or low fat cream of chick Soup along with some premier choco Protein Shake. Still have pain and taking meds but just a few times a day. Sometimes I get a really obnoxious cramp after I eat something- figure it's gas so I just walk. Down 6 lbs;)
