Any April Sleevers?

[dsmith_rn 186]

Yes. I am three weeks out and have lost 20 lbs and 18 inches! I measure my neck, bust, waist, hips, thigh, and upper arm.

I measure all those and the thickest part of my calf also. CONGRATS on your weight and inches lost!

Thanks folks. I wouldn't go against my doc's guidelines, which are no drinking 30 minutes before and ONE hour after! Aurgh! So hard to get all the stuff in I need to and keep track of what is left and when to do what. I finished 1 1/2 ounces of salmon an hour ago, and just tried some much needed Water since I'm behind for the day -- still too full to drink it. And I still have more food I'm supposed to eat tonight to hit my Protein goals.

Lol - your statement is my agony at the moment! Not enough hours to stop start and get protein and liquid in..... However - we will conquer :-). Just soon I hope

I was sleeved on 4/22. My surgeon said that I may sometimes go a week with no weight loss and then the next week lose 5 or 6lbs. He also said if I go two whole weeks with no weight lose to call him and the nut because they may need to tweak your diet.

Hi ladies! Same surgery date, and same stall! Finally after more than 2 weeks my weight dropped 2 lbs. this week.

I saw my NUT on Thursday and told her I was not really happy with the weight loss I have been having. She calculated it out and said I have been losing an average of 3.5 lbs a week (and apparently the average loss is 2-3), so I guess I'm doing pretty well. I had to turn in 4 days of food logs and she thought my diet was great. I have been getting in all of my Water and Protein pretty consistently.

You are lucky. At 5 weeks out I struggle to get 30 oz Water in, usually it's more like 20 oz, and Protein? Maybe 30g. I was hospitalized on Sunday for a couple of days for dehydration and they did an upper GI. They found out I have gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying) so when I eat something it stays in my sleeve for many hours, keeping me so full I can't drink enough. If things aren't moving, you can't keep pouring liquids in, there's no room. When things finally feel less full 4-6 hours later I try to eat but there's still food in there so I can only eat a few bites so my protein is very low. Then I'm full and nauseas again for several hours.

The Radiologist said the nerves in my stomach aren't working properly to push the food along, and it could be a temporary effect of the surgery, or it could be permanent now.

I've had only liquids since Sunday morning, and lots if nausea. I have an appointment with my surgeon this afternoon and will hopefully get some answers. Having lots of "buyers remorse" about the surgery at this point......

I am much less nauseas today so that is a good sign that maybe the med is working. Time will tell. Thanks for your good wishes!
