Sleeved on December 21st



Recommended Posts

Ok so i was sleeved on the 21st and i was losing good and now the scale has gone up???

I started at 242 then it went to 227 now back up to 232 what gives?

Does getting our reccomended Protein really help with weight loss? I know im not getting enough maybe i should start back on the basics im doing purees now i guess i just need some advice.

Help!!

I was also sleeved on Dec 21st. Per my doc's schedule I don't get to purees and soft foods until next week. I did see a small bump up last week. Discovered that I wasn't 'eliminating waste'. I had to get some colace to take care of that and then I saw it go back down. There may have been an adjustment from Clear liquids to full liquids to purees as well.

You know it isn't fat, so track back and make sure you've hit your liquid and Protein goals, you're 'going' at a reasonable clip-- not every day but every few days- and that you're not eating foods high in carbs, fats, or sugars. I know people like to think they can eat anything they want, but we really do have to watch certain things. Well some of us do!

I do see better loss when I hit my Protein goal.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
