26 lbs lost in 2 weeks



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved one week ago today. I had a one week liquid diet prior to surgery where I lost 11 pounds. But I've also lost another 15 pounds in the last 7 days since surgery.

If someone had told me a while back that I'd lose 26 lbs in 2 weeks, I wouldn't have believed it.

Not being hungry is a bit weird. I'm still on liquids, and I've been really good about getting my Protein shakes in, until today. I had a small amount of Malt-o-meal for Breakfast (this is allowed by my surgeon from day 3 after surgery) and I had such a busy day at work that I realized I hadn't had anything else all day. I never even thought about it all day. (Not that this is necessarily a good thing!)

I only have a bit of pain if I forget and try to sit up in bed instead of roll over. The incisions no longer hurt. I've never been nauseous. Never vomited at all since being sleeved.

My point of all this is, I'm loving this sleeve already. And it has only been one week!

Awesome job! It will just get better. I lost really quickly but felt weak so at 4 weeks i was told to eat more. I still lose 1.5 to 2 lbs a week while eating food again. It just keeps getting better..

That's awesome! I'm starting to dislike male sleevers (just kidding)......you guys seem to lose weight much faster...I've lost 7 to your 15 (and very happy about those 7 pounds LOL)

haven't had any pain--other than being a little bit sore the day or two after surgery....Keep up the good work!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
