Recommended Posts

K guys maybe I just need to vent but I am a gastric sleeve complication to bypass patient. This coming Sunday will be a month from the bypass. I have dropped MAYBE two pounds. I am so angry and confused. I Put myself through this hell and I have lost about 92 pounds since November with the sleeve but due to serious complications basically able to eat or drink anything in starvation to loosing nothing. Help! Suggestions. Just now really getting energy back to maybe exercise. Went to work four days after surgery. Suggestions? I called doc he said maybe body is adjusting or maybe ur at the weight u will be at. Well heck if I haven't had wanted to lose more weight I wouldn't have had the bypass. Loosing my mind and not weight!!

Hi...I am in the same boat!

I was a sleeve to rny patient as well. I had my rny done august 20th and I lost 18lbs the first 2 weeks then I stopped loosing for a few days and then gained 2lbs! I have since lost the 2lbs that I gained but so far thats it! I really try to get the Water and Protein in. I can't excersise because of a pain that I have in my left side (which Im getting checked out next week) but I walk 30mins to and hour every other day and I feel that I should still be losing something! At this point post op most people lose weight doing nothing at all!

Im very frustrated!

I hope we can both get past what ever this is and start losing weight!

I was at a stand still a few weeks ago, I was doing moderate walking almost every day. My weight stood still for like 3 wks. once I got off the high blood pressure meds I had so much more energy and I started increasing the exercise AND the intensity of my workouts, I started jogging again and now my weight started dropping again. Sounds like you are in a rut, when you exercise do you get your heart rate pumping ?

92 pounds is a LOT of weight so sincere congratulations on that!! Hard to offer much in the way of suggestions without knowing things like your pre-sleeve starting weight, height, daily average calorie intake, Protein intake, Water intake, activity level, and even what your personal goal weight is. Quite possible that you just need a little more patience. But if you can give us some more details, we may be able to offer suggestions. There are a ton of very knowledgeable folks on this forum and we're all here to help each other.

        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
