Great job everyone! I think as long as your urine isn't dark yellow that you'll be fine. Mine seems to be a light yellow, very pale but not dark at all. I feel fine also, so I think you need to take that into consideration. I lost 4.5 pounds since the surgery on March 8. I hope that is good because I don't remember ever losing that much before in a week.

I had surgery on March 8 too. I really haven't had a lot of pain to speak of but I'm tired all the time. Even 12-13 days out I'm still tired. Got some B complex, multi-vitamins, and Iron supplements. Hopefully that will help. It's been a big mental adjustment so far but I'm making it day by day. Too bad that something so worthwhile can't be easy too isn't it??

As of yesterday I am down 17.5 pounds. I've been eating some mushies the past few days. No problems and I feel a whole lot better even if I can only eat a very small amount.

Good luck to everyone and may we all become the thin person we have only dreamed of up until now.

I was sleeved March 8th too. I'm down 21lbs including the weight I lost during my pre-op. I haven't lost a single once this whole week though. Starting to worry I'm not doing something right. I'm doing pretty good at getting Protein and liquids in and walking daily. Hope it starts moving soon :-)

I'm doing the same thing. Weight is at a stand still already. Trying not to get discouraged. I'm eating right and drinking the Water. I think maybe our bodies are playing catch up trying to figure out how we misplaced our stomach, when it has been in the same place our entire life then in a matter of minutes.......gone! haha Happy adjusting, I can't wait! My tummy area is still sore but very manageable now. I will try to start exercising soon.

I'm at the 18 pound mark so far. I'm a little scared its coming off so fast without working out. I can't wait to get the clearance to start working out again. Scared of the lose skin.

That's over 1 pound a day. That's great! I would love to see that but afraid it isn't happening over here.

I think it's normal for a week 3 stall. I'm thinking I just hit that a lil early. I'm not too worried though. Just gonna keep on chugging along. Excited to start puréed foods tomorrow :-) never been so happy to eat an egg :-)

An egg? Oh what I would do to have an egg right now!! ;0 Still on liquids over here but I'm having an issue getting in my Protein. I was out of my whey Protein and only had some Body by Vi stuff hanging around, so I made a shake using that and well .... lets just say I was ill! Way too sweet, nauseated, felt sweaty, shaky .... and then I had to use the bathroom! Ugh! So I haven't actually had any shake since then. I have had some creamy Soups but they seem too heavy almost. I can tolerate fat free yogurt but the Soups make me feel a little ill.

I need to go grocery shopping to get some protein stuff -- right now I'm trying to get down some Muscle Milk as I need more protein. I feel like I'm in a stall - actually, I am in a stall. I haven't lost since a few days ago. I do feel constipated too .... funny how one minute I could be going to the washroom 5 times a day and then the next day -- none at all.

I hope you're all doing well! I have now thrown in the treadmill today - just a brisk walk but glad I got on it. :)

      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.
