No weight loss with sleeve?!



Recommended Posts

Is their anyone that has not lost weight with the sleeve? I'm just so scared that I will have this surgery and I will be a failure or I won't loose weight... I'm hearing how much weight everyone is loosing in 3-6 months ... Could that really be me in a few months?? Ugh I don't know how to feel :-(

not sure how anyone can not lose anything with the sleeve. They take out 85% of ur stomach. You're bound to lose some weight. I can see how some may not lose all their weight by eating sliders, etc. But to fail to lose any? I'm skeptical. How can u not lose weight with only 15% of ur stomach left?

You will not fail! I had my surgery may first as of aug 15 I have lost 76 lbs. now I will tell you I am not exercising 6 hours a day. Fact is I hate going to the gym. Been just walking. You can do it. It is a tool but you will love your new life. Ask yourself do I like the wall I have around myself I.e. the fat you have on you. Yes I will use the F word. You are blocking the real you, change is hard and the box you have been in is easy. You may not like it but you are use to it. Come on and bust out. Don't let your drug food rule your life any more! We are here for you even if no one else is. You need and want to live. I have gotten rid of 4 pills connected to my weight and health situation. I hope at the end of the month to get rid of at least 2 more. I want to live for myself and my kids. You can too... Reach for the stars because its there. You can do it. If I can anyone can. Even if I don't lose another pound I would be happy. I am at least at a weight where people are not as judgemental of me because of my size. Also I am at least in a size 16-18 were I can get some regular clothes. I want to loose another 60 lbs and who knows. I might even get a man in my life again. Or go back to school like I planned or a job in management. The sky's the limit! Please give yourself the gift of your life back.

      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.

      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.
