Almost two weeks post op. Need help/mentor/buddy!



Recommended Posts

Hey all! I am new to this site but it seems like the best way to go. I was sleeved on June 26th so I am now 10 days post op. I started my full liquid phase but immediately stopped losing the gradual weight I had been. In fact I gained. Is that normal? I log my food and watch calories/carbs/sugar, I follow what the classes and the nutritionist said. I want so badly to be successful and have finally become able to be more active since I am still healing. Have any of you dealt with this so soon? I need peace of mind!

Highest weight-256

Surgery weight-240

Current weight-230 :(

Hey pretty girl! I was sleeved on 6/17/2014 so we are still in the same rookie boat..lol. I lost a lot of weight my first week because of the liquids also. The weight loss is going to do some crazy things so try not to stress. Some days I haven't lost anything. I was like "hold up!!". It is going to take time for your body to adjust. Remember, the sleeve is a tool. You still have to eat right and slowly reintroduce exercise to your new body once you are able. Have you gone to your post op visit yet? Make sure you take all questions and concerns to your doctors....

I was sleeved on 6/24 and have been stuck for the last 5 days. Part of it is my period. And part I think not enough Protein. So today I made sure I got my Protein in and counted -- 89 grams!

The Water intake through is challenging for me. I think I managed 40 ounces. So that is next goal to maintain the protei level and increase the Water

High weight 240

Surgery weight 222

Today 214

I'm getting in that Protein as well. About 70 grams. I find drinking enough difficult too. But this is so worth it!

I was just sleeved on the 7th, & I'm really struggling to get the 60 g of daily protein & 64 fl oz of beverage in addition to the protein. I try to consume regularly, but I feel so full! I haven't had problems passing gas, but I do feel Urey from time to time.

Any suggestions?

I was sleeved on 6/18 week 2 post I stalled hard. All I did was change my diet a bit and now im back on a steady decrease. Altho I am judging more bout how I feel and visible weight loss. Cause I dont weight myself religiously. Week 2 I was 320lb 4 days later I did weight myself still at 320. Now I have no clue but I do feel bout 10lb lighter. Stalls are inevitable. Just remember ur in it for life. No need to rush. Besides it gives time for skin to catch up with weight loss.

I was sleeved on 6/9. I've been struggling this last week also. The scale isn't moving and my eating has been completely on track. I know I'm not exercising as I should. But given the low food intake and high Water intake, could my lack of exercise really be preventing the weight loss? I'm feeling discouraged and frustrated.

I know how you feel! I have even increased exercise. I bought a treadmill and a new bike to go on bike rides and I'm using them now in hopes that will push me over back to a steady decrease. I've come a long way and look different but I want to keep going!

      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.
