March 8th Sleevers Weight Loss So Far?



Recommended Posts

Just curious how the March 8th sleevers are doing? I'm down 18 pounds since surgery and things are flowing really well! How's everyone else? What are some challenges?

I was sleeved March 6. I have lost 10 lbs. tomorrow will be day 18. I seem to be losing the weight from the top down. My face looks thinner and I don't have as much back fat. I worry that I will never be able to eat normal again. I don't mean the same amount but now when I eat it seems to get stuck. I am still eating things like yogurt, Soups, malt o meal.

Got sleeve on March 8, down 20 lbs. I'm wondering what everyone else's challenges are as well. Here's mine:

Protein - cannot manage to get enough

liquids - I've never been a big drinker of Water etc. I'm making an effort but still don't get near enough.

Tiredness - I'm tired all the time. I suspect more water would help. I went to a martial arts tournament with my kids yesterday, came home at 2 pm and slept on and off the rest of the day.

Exercise - too tired. I know more exercise would help with the tiredness.

There's probably more that I'm not thinking of just now but don't feel like putting forth the energy to think of them:)

I was sleeved March 8 as well! Yesterday my Fitbit scale had me confused with my husband ..... I weigh 222. Day of surgery I was 242 so 20 pounds since surgery. I'm exhausted though.... I do have issues getting in all my Protein and Water but each day I'm getting there. I have low Iron as well .... I'm sure my post op diet isn't helping with that! ;). I took an extra week off after we returned from vacation/surgery and have sent my daughter to daycare just so I could have a week to myself. :). Hoping to get on the treadmill for some walking as the snow isn't melting anytime soon here!

I was also sleeved on the 4th and am down 22 lbs. I've also been stalled for 4 days. I'm ready for that scale to get moving again.

      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.

        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!
