Anyone else getting sleeved in August?

[chrissythemoo 34]

I just read somewhere about a 3 week stall. Is it possible to have this at 2 weeks? That's what seems to have happened to me......

I just hit a stall also. I'm at day 14 post op. didn't expect to hit it this soon but it is what it is. I had planned on weighing myself everyday until I hit a stall then go to once a week. Hadn't weighted in 3 days because the batteries went dead in the scale. Weighed this morning and no change from 3 days ago. Damnit! But can't complain with 32lbs loss already

Hey August sleevers, tomorrow is my day and I am full if emotions but still very excited. And scared. I don't think I will be able to work today but it will keep me busy til 8pm so then I can be up all night thinking about the surgery. I put myself on a liquid diet as of yesterday and its not too bad until I see food I really like. My husband is cooking stir fry tonight so I asked that by the time I get home at 9 could they be done and cleaned up so I won't be tempted. I really feel like I could eat a double bacon cheese burger from Wendy's and I would be ok. Lol. But I will eat my cream of chicken Soup and be happy.

Good luck everyone who is going in today, prayers are with you.

My surgeon said yesterday at my 2 week follow up that its normal till you become more active. At least in my situation as if I walk or stand too long my left side starts to spasm where the cut through the muscle. So until I'm completely healed and that no longer happens I can't be as active, therefor I won't burn as many calories to loose, but it's normal... So I'm not worried that in 2 weeks I've only lost 11 lbs and most of that was in the first weeks post op.

Goodluck to all the sleevers having thier ops, i, m 11 days post op snd 21lb down from pre op 13 lbs post op, but I was told not to weigh myself for at least 3 wks post op because you actually weigh more after op , this is due to Water retention from iv Swelling to your stomach and can take 3 wks to settle, so I am going to weigh myself 3 wks from op and that will be my official weightloss post op. My surgeon said I have to work with my sleeve, its a tool but it wont do the work for me, I have to change my diet completely, no junk food should go into our mouths after being given this chance, whats the point of wls if your gonna go try and eat pizza or a big mac or Chinese or choclate, Its not going to work if we dont change our diets and excercise, afterall we all know the reasons we got here in the first place was all the bad choices we made, so we have to embrace this new way of life and work with the sleeve not against it, its not gonna be easy but we, ve all already gotten over the hardest part and thats making a concious decision to have the op knowing our lifes are gonna change forever, for the better for the healthier for the slimmer person we all are going to become, we are going to do this my fellow sleevers, we can do it, I for one am looking forward to the journey and sharing it with everyone thats on the same path with me :-D

I agree but also agree with ' everything in moderation' am not going to deny myself the very occasional junk but the majority of the time will eat healthily. :-) what will be lovely is having a Chinese and only being able to eat a quarter of what I would eat previously, or even less! However, that is a loooooong way off! :-)
