Nov Sleevers... What's Your Status?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on November 13th and i've lost a total of 22 pounds. Today makes the end of week 4 for me. i think i'm at a stall because that's how much i weighed in at 2 weeks ago at my second dr's visit. What i notice is i'm losing inches because my clothes are fitting a lot looser. I'm just going to stay focused and stay off the scale. I've been back in the gym since the 6th day after my surgery and i'm able to do the elipitical for 30mins at a resistance of 8 and incline of 10 3-5 days a week. I thank god i had no complications and have never thrown up or had the urge too. Sometimes i question if my surgery was actually done because it went so well, but reality kicks in when after taking 2-3 bites of something i'm sooooo full, lol.

Just make sure your getting in your Protein and liquids you will see a change shortly. I am at the end of my 5th week and I have had two stalls so far. I just put my scale up on the shelf and kept it moving, I will not let those numbers define me. I'll take the inches anytime!

I'm still in a stall (9 days). And I got my period yesterday 9 days early. And it's brutal. I'm hoping to start losing again.

Increase your Protein and fluids. I finally moved the scale. My nut said that around this time the body goes into hibernation. Your weight loss slows you feel tired and your body is holding everything waiting for you to go back to old eating. You can trick it by adding the Protein and Water and upping exercise. It will start soon hang in there.

Ok everyone... I was sleeved on Nov 12th' date=' and weighed 240.

My first week I lost 10 pds and my second another 10... Which was Awesome!!!

But since then "0" WTFudge is going on! :-(

This is my sample menu:

B: 1 EGG OR 5OZ Protein shake

L: 4 SHRIMP OR 2OZ tuna

D: 2OZ SALMON OR 1/4 CRAB meat

SNACK: cheese STICK OR 5OZ Protein shake

I'm tracking my calories and I am under 300 - 350 max.

What is wrong???

Anyone else struggling???

Is this normal???[/quote']

Just be patient and give it a little more time. Make sure your getting your fluids in, especially Water. That's so important. My 4th week I was stalking, I called my NUT, showed her a sample of my diet. She said I wasn't eating or drinking enough. My diet looked alot like yours. So I added 1 more small meal and 12 more oz's of Water. Last week I dropped 5lbs. Maybe something to think about? Either way you will lose weight, I promise. Good luck :-)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
