My surgery was on June 13, i visited the doc on June 24 and had lost 20 pounds. But i weighed myself yesterday and had lost just one more pound! that was so disappointing. I mean the month long liquid diet and just one pound. I don't know what is wrong. The doc had advised I consume 2 litres of Water everyday. But i have been able to do only 1.2 litres. Is that the reason?

Has anyone else faced this?

Also, what are you eating now?

I am doing great as far as Water consumption. I get about 42 oz in. I have mostly been eating/drinking Protein shakes but I have only been consuming about 300-400 calories a day. I think my body was in starvation mode so i have upped it and have lost another pound in the last 2 days. Small victory but I didn't gain all the weight overnight so I know it won't dissappear overnight. Also, If i exercised everyday rather than only a couple days a week I know it would help alot more.

I was sleeved on June 18th and I have lost 27 pounds with pre-op diet included. I just went through about 2 weeks where I lost not a pound and in fact gained about 3. When I stepped on the scale yesterday, I had lost those 3 pounds so hopefully I am on the road to losing again. I teach school and I have clothes that for some reason I saved that I want to start back to school wearing but I need to lose about 10 more pounds to get into them. That is my goal for now.

I know that can be so depressing but you are doing so great!! I have found it easier to make/meet small goals first. It makes the bigger goal much easier to attain in my mind.

Sleeved July 18th. I'm 5' 6.5".

My weekly weight is as follows:

6/18/2013 -- DOS

228

6/25/2013 -- 1 week post op

214

7/2/2013 -- 2 weeks post op

208

7/9/2013 -- 3 weeks post op

210

7/16/2013 -- 4 weeks post op

208

My official weigh in for week 5 isn't until 7/23/2013, but I weighed 204 today after my run. So 24 pounds thus far. I usually weigh a pound or so more before my run. That Water weight can make a difference. Watch out with your sodium intake!

Good luck to all my June sleever buddies!!!

How much progress has everyone made? I know we will all lose differently but in three days I will be 4 weeks post op and have lost 27 lbs as of today including my 20 day preop diet. Is that bad???

Hi tomorrow I will be 4weeks post and it seems as though i didn't move any weight yet. I was sleeve on June 24th and lost a total of 35lbs but I've read in someone else's forum that her Dr said the weight slows down between weeks 3-6 and then starts again because as your healing your stomach may seem as though your on a regular diet and realize this is a life changing thing. But I don't understand how but that's how I'm taking it. But keep up the work ladies.

I was sleeved on 6/25, and including my 2 week pre-op diet, I've lost 28 pounds. I haven't lost anything for about a week, but I'm not worried about it. Our bodies are complex and weird. I have faith that as long as I follow my surgeon's plan that I WILL lose lots of weight.

Interestingly, during my 3 week very strict liquid post op diet, I had a lot of head hunger. Now that I am on soft foods, it has all gone away. I'm hoping that lasts!

I had surgery June 25. I started my journey at 277. I was 263 after my preop. I was 248.5 this morning. However I have been bouncing around 251 and 248 for over a week. Sounds like this is "normal". Hope to start losing steadily again!

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
