Weightloss for a new sleever



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on the 6th. My discharge nurse and papers told me to weigh myself everyday. Since last Monday I've lost 12 pounds.. Which I am happy with!! today when I weighed myself I didn't lose any.

Should I be concerned.... A couple of my friends told me not to worry about it .. But I just think with the sleeve I shouldn't of hit a day where I didn't lose any yet ! ??

There will be days, and even weeks where you don't lose anything, and they are normal. I recommend NOT weighing yourself every day, as it can drive you batty when you hit stalls.

I was also sleeved on may 6th . I've lost 12 pds also and the past 2 days me weight has been the same . I'm getting rid of my scale TODAY every time I go in the bathroom I weigh myself . I don't wanna go crazy about the numbers I know how I am that can discourage me. We gotta hang in there it's barely over a week.

Thank you all... I think the numbers game is going to drive me crazy ! But each day I notice a little difference in my self .... I will use this as my motivation now more than the numbers each morning ! ... At least I will try ! :)

I'm 6 days out and have weighted myself twice only because I don't want to drive myself crazy if I don't see the scale move. You will do fine just don't weigh yourself ever day. :)

I am ten weeks out and after a first week loss of 13 pounds, I lost NOTHING FOR THREE WEEKS! I almost drove myself crazy. But then, sure enough, it started to come off. Most weeks I have had a loss, but two weeks I did not. Pick ONE DAY of the week to record your weight. If you weigh other days, use it as a guide to see how you're doing. But remember, weight fluctuates so if you are one who will go nuts with a gain during the week, best to throw the scale out or just not weigh. We will all lose weight according to our biology, so we can't go crazy with what we can't control. Good luck to all.

My surgeon made us record our weight everyday. It really sucked! It was a happy day when I could stop. Now I only weigh in once a week! = )

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
