Was sleeved March 10th. Up until 4/2 I had no energy. No matter what I did little or big I was exhausted. Then suddenly I felt good and have energy. The last two and a half weeks not only have I been on a heavy flow period (ladies will understand, sorry men) but I have not lost any weight. From the time of my surgery to the stall I have only lost 21lbs. I am getting really worried that I went through all that for just 21 lbs.

Isn't it way too soon to hit a stall. I am not going over on calories and I get my Water in and am trying to get close as possible to Protein. :(

I'm pre-op so I don't have direct experience but I can encourage your to give yourself a break. Stick with the program. There's no way if you're following the program that you won't see more weight loss... you're body has been through a huge stressor and takes a while to recover. And when you do start losing again, be SURE to post back to this thread so you leave a bread crumb trail for others who might be in the same boat.

Best wishes!

I definitely will! Thank you! And good luck to you Ginger!!! And speaking from experience, if you feel that exhaustion will never go away it will! I have lots of energy now!

Before I used to wake up at night so many times even if just to roll over. Now that I have healed I am might wake up for a moment once or twice. It is so great sleeping through the night.

Now to just get over this long stall!

Good luck to you and be sure to update us on your progress!!

      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.
